Pardon me if it's already been asked as this thread is on it's fourth page and I haven't been keeping up, but why does rap have such a bad rap?
I voted for country only because that's a close to despise I can get when it comes to music, but the term "I don't care for" the most is really more fitting. Edited by Slartibartfast - March 04 2009 at 20:18 |

Sometimes you are forced to listen to things. Where I work the radio is pretty loud and well... if I hear Shine by Take That once more in my lifespan, I may turn emo myself. I would walk round with my fingers in my ears, but how am I suppose to rearrange clothes racks with no hands free? |

I don't 'despise' any kind of music - I save such emotions for things (or people) that have done something bad to me. If I don't like a band, artist or musical genre, I don't listen to it. That simple!

I must be far too eclectic because I dig at least a few artists from all of those genres...

Most music that is commercially released these days is absolute garbage and it's not getting any better.
You have to dig deep for the good stuff these days but it is out there if you look.
To me Rap is the worst excuse for music ever presented to the public by the fat white pant loads that run the music industry.

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

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? Edited by June - March 04 2009 at 06:03 |

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.
Ditto the Lily's very 60's sounding

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 )

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.
. . . . . .Enjoy your Kenny G, I guess. 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.

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)

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.

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.
