Why isn't Symphonic Power Metal included in the poll by the way?

Yeah, I would choose that... ..but: pop/punk of course techno, rap, emo, modern - they'll go sometimes. Death metal is quite boring but nt so bad, or modern rock but i'm not sure what... pop is quite weird thing, too... but mostly I hate those glam pop punk rock who try to be modern and retro and popular

Rap (50 Cent style) definitely. It's infuriating to see this crap all the time/everywhere, especially since there's actually some good Hip Hop out there, it's just not the stuff you see on the charts. Just recently I found a contender for the worst song ever: MIMS' "This Is Why I'm Hot", check out the eloquent lyrics:
This is why I'm Hot [2x]
This is why [2x] Uh
This is why I'm Hot (Uh)
This is why I'm Hot [2x] Whoo
This is why [2x]
This is why I'm Hot
I'm hot cause I'm fly (fly)
You ain't cause you're not (Mims)
This is why [2x]

It's actualy hard to say...
I must admit that some 'gangsta rap' people have some cool grooves... its not a hit but don't rule it out until youve heard the good stuff! what you hear on the radio isn't real rap.
Techno is cool too, theres some really cool sh*t... People do amazing things in techno, it's also a genre that's image is destroyed by it's commercial sides... Yes, the comercial stuff is sometimes sh*tty but........ There's some good techno out there!
Punk - well... I hate The Ramones, The Clash, The Sex Pistols... I just hate it... it's annoying music... it sucks... but some people define bands like "talking heads" as punk... so just for that I have to say that I don't hate it more than any musical genre...
Pop-Punk and Emo stuff like Geenday and thost chemical people suck too but they ussualy record their music on multi million dollar gear, and they have great sound people, and great mixing people that make them sound really rockin' and stuff...
So I have to admit pop like american Idol is my least favorite genre of all....

Rap and especially 50 cent style is by far the worst.

Rap is not music, but by far the worst choice. The only choice I can put up with is modern rock but gangsta rap...just no. Oh and for those who said it, I link Reggaeton with rap as being absoluetly awful.

EMO...so sad, RAP actually has very few catchy things, everything EMO stands for is terrible.

Yeah Green day used to be a reasonably respectable alternative band back in the 90's then they died their hair black and are an emo kiddie's joke.

Me being a musician, hate people that stop making the music they love to play to get a hit mainstream record, it just infuriates me  . Thats why I chose pop punk because eventually when they do get the hit song and get radio airplay, they wright the exact same stuff on theyre next album, not out of inspiration which is basically what prog is all about.

i dislike all of those genres, however i'd say pop is the worst one. i like some death metal (children of bodom, mercenary). i don't care for rap but some of the non commercial rap isn't as bad. at least even though i don't care for it some of them do it for love of music and not to make money.
i think country should be on there as well

Yup, I for one cant stand the so called "EMO" style, i think that this "famous" style isn´t anything worth hearing.

What about country (Garth Brooks style)? That would have to rate as low as rap. |
I may not care for his music much, but I rather like Garth Brooks. I thought he pulled off his Chris Gaines persona rather well, and it did show some versatility. I vote for rap in many forms (subgenres): from Gangsta Rap to Emo Rap (the worst of both worlds ) to Booty Music to Crunk. Now I like booty as much as the next buttaneer (and what guy with a Spinal Tap avatar wouldn't enjoy "Big Bottom"?) but Booty Music (a subgenre of rap that relies on very heavy bass) is just terrible. Has anyone heard the Monster Booty rap compilation? Now be honest. Even the brilliantly titled song off it "Da Butt" fails to deliver ( Das Booty rip-off!). And then there's Crunk (deriving from chronic -- i.e high -- and drunk or from the words "crack" and "drunk")... Now this is a brand of rap that rappers call talentless, generic, derivative, repetitive, and rhythmically dull . From wikipedia: "In the hip hop world, crunk rappers have been criticized for lacking
lyrical content, creativity, and using essentially the same beats and
styles. Rapper MC Lars
satirized the genre in his song "Generic Crunk Rap," in which he
commented on its decided unoriginality and consumeristic undertones.
While agreeing that the subject of the lyrics are all more or less
identical, others say that the music is specifically designed for the
rowdy clubs in which this style thrives." Crunk it up! "Ow we got the crunk, give up the crunk."

No they don't, it's pre programmed drums. And also, concerning Nickelback: http://www.thewebsh*te.net/nickelback.htm As for the poll, I HATE RAP!!!!!!!! Otherwise, I can Tolerate the others. The closest genre I might have some level of respect for is the Pop thing, because damn, Christina Aguilera has a good voice, although, horribly misused.

Slipknot!?, Death metal!?
A lot of metal heads wouldn't be caught dead calling them metal at all.
