I mean "country " just kills me everytime, I cannot stand the wimpy vocals, the gruesome drumming (yuck) the pedestrian bass and the whole darn' tootin' thang! LOL I mean Dolly Parton I can at least look at , as well as Faith Hill (hunka hunka) er.......oopsy! Censored But  I cringe when I land on a country channel, the drawlin' drivel just gets me heading out the door , on my horse and into the wild blue yonder with a yearnin' for Siberian Khathru, at the very least. LOL Like chili and BBQ , though ! and them there Texas cheerleaders are awfully cute! Star
 
Gonna have to vote "country" on this too.  Or rather, what country has become over the past couple decades.  I have the utmost respect for the old guard - Hank Williams Sr., Johnny Cash etc.  (Even Dolly Parton - despite a few stylistic missteps and a theme park, she's never forgotten her bluegrass roots.)  But country music nowadays is so glossy and regimented - it literally ALL SOUNDS THE SAME!  Apparently the performers have to abide by all these rules regarding sound and content, or they'll be blackballed by Nashville.  (Look what happened to the Dixie Chicks for speaking their minds.)  Britney Spears and all the other mindless pop-tarts sound like musical geniuses compared to modern country!  All those cookie-cutter "hunks in hats" can't hold a candle to the legends of the past.  And Shania Twain and Faith Hill are just pop singers being marketed as country.

I picked alternative. I do embarrasingly enjoy my share of 90's and early 00's alternative rock, but for those people who aren't in America or still in high school and/or don't still have siblings who are in high school, there's a ton of absolutely horrible alternative rock going around that everyone's listening to. They all sound the same. Nasally high non-falsetto voices (sometimes with a horrible vocorder) over slightly distorted electric guitars, with a basic drummer that never goes beyond 4/4, but admittedly compared to some of the other stuff on the radio sounds a bit better.
 
There's this AWFUL band that's popular now called 3OH!3, and honestly it is the most annoying thing I've ever heard.

keep in mind people that country as it is now isn't actually country at all, there used to be some emphasis on song writing
 
I went with Rap even though I don't actually consider it a form of music, it is more a form of throwing words out over the sound of deafening base.  The fact that every white college aged male with a souped up honda civic feels the need to share his choice of "music" as he flies through the suburbs like a true badass gangbanger makes it an unaviodable form of "music" and therefore the most despised.
 
following close behind:
Pop
Alt
Grunge
Ambient (zzzzzzzzzzz)
Dance
World
New Age
New Wave
Punk
Death Metal (any metal really beyond some Motorhead)


Time always wins.

Mildness is far more offensive to me than taking a risk and failing. Every since I started listening to jazz, that saxophone sound and much of the saxophone in popular and rock music makes me angry. While I don't hold anything personally against Mel Collins or the album Red, his playing on that album makes me cringe, and I don't know why.

Oh yeah, and acid jazz is possibly as terrible as reggaeton. For some reason people associate the term with really experimental music, but it's exactly the opposite.

My top 3 are Emo, Pop, and Rap.
 
I think I'll vote Pop being its losing out of my options (though I do enjoy some 80s pop Tongue)
Dig me...But don't...Bury me
I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive
Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect.

Pop used here is such an ambiguous term. Last year some of the long term members were recommending Sloan and their 30 track single CD Never Hear the End of It. Samples were enough to have me buy it and discover the whole is a joy - simply a good collection of 60's style pop tunes with a sprinkling of punk.
 
Never Hear the End of It
Ditto the Lily's very 60's sounding

Went with rap, but I can't stand hip-hop and death metal.

What do Tokio Hotel play? Cause I really hate that too... Is that emo?

I dislike poorly (lazily) composed music, regardless of genre or style (and there are some real turkeys to be found in all genres Wink, even Prog Shocked)
