What are your least favorite genres, Prog fans?

I don't really have that much knowledge of most genres to choose and anyway, I think most genres have some great artists.

Although there are several genres I don't particularly enjoy (such as modern pop), I can usually appreciate why someone else would like that genre. We have different philosophies about music and expect different things out of what we listen to.

The exception is smooth jazz. No one should listen to that.

I would probably say hip hop or ambient but I am not exposed enough to these genres to know and I might have simply heard the wrong artists.  

But I definitely don't like the whole idea of a female pop diva and every diva I have heard, from Diana Ross all the way to Christina Aguilera.   The songs they sing are usually very boring, their very vocal skills are grossly overhyped and overestimated by the media and, worst of all, they proceed to butcher respectable originals with their masturbatory pyrotechnics.   Ok, I wouldn't say Ross was particularly guilty of the last aspect, but Whitney Houston started it and ever since, it's been a tiresome niche and unfortunately takes up a lot of charting time and shuts out other good pop from the mainstream. 

well

hip/hop and rap - like
trance/techno/house/dance/rave - like
rock/metal - like
punk (post-punk) - like
jazz - like
classical music - like
folk music - like
disney music - like
David Foster - like

country music - respects but mostly cringe and dislike
danseband - the most vile music, dislike

i basikli find myself hard disliking most music, im extremely tolerating and i am grown up with alot of pop musisc before i found prog, and I never say goodbye to things i was into in my the past i mostly  is a hyporcritical prog fan cause i am not haitng comerciality, i love hooks, catchy corouses and singable songs, techno beats and gangster rap

but i also love dissonants, epics, wonderfull chord sequences, modulations of chords, wall of sound,

i can and will never choose to not be fan of comercial music like Pet Shop Boys, Elton John, Disney, Bon Jovi, 80s Chicago,

nor will i ever stop being fan of my prog favourites

but i will never stop listening and lighten up when my favourite trance, techno and house tracks are played on the radio, ( I was trance/techno DJ for 6 years) from 13 to 22

not my love for shamltzy pop songs i burned on four CDs in my teenz full of Cetera, Phil Collins, Diana Warwic, Barbra Strisand, Sting, etc,

I will never forgett that i once was a hip-hop dancer and breakdancer, so my love for hip hop is always strong, 90s hip hop, i can't hide that i can dance and are unable to not dance when any rythem or pulsating beat is heard/felt, my legs outomaticly do dance mooves, becouse i can, and don't look like a fool doing it ( have danced in 4 years in my teens before i found prog, i was a hip hop coreagrofied dancer, like those in Britney Spears videos type of dancing)

I can dance hip hop and DJ trance music so effing arrest me progers, couse im a darn hyppocrite :D

You don't mean Eno and Satie, do you?

ExittheLemming wrote: thrash/hair metal

You say that like thrash and hair metal somehow belong together (when in fact they were pretty much polar opposites of the 80s metal scene).

Anyway, there are a few musical genres I dislike, although there are usually a few exceptions for every genre: hair metal, metalcore, modern hard rock/post-grunge of the Nickelback/Creed variety, certain electronic music genres such as house and dubstep, most upbeat/straightforward hip-hop, Eurodisco/Eurodance, modern R&B, schlager, emo, Christian music -----

wow, listing all these genres makes me feel so close-minded

If it's because of the fanbase, then you don't hate the music.

I can like music from every genre except modern mainstream pop and dance with its subgenres.
