Most country and western (there's a great line in the Blues Brothers
where Jake and Elmer are playing in a hickey town and they ask "what
kind of music do you play here?" and the owner says "we have both types
here son...country AND western...!"
Opera. I do like classical( instrumental) works and I know I should
marvel at the technical skill etc etc of opera singers but I loathe it.
Whitney bloody Houston. I know shes got a great voice but she so
over-played the high warbling on every single one of her songs that
each time I hear one playing now, it puts me on edge.
Mariah Carey...???

Rap. Though I'm not sure if it can be classified as "music".

Rap is pretty disgraceful all round- the genre's 'artists' these days just rant, don't sing, and use a vast amount of expletives and dubious moral messages. I will always hate the genre, and cannot bear to hear it, but at least can appreciate there was some politics behind it in the 80s. These days it's mindless braggodocio....disgusting.
The insipid dullness of bands like Coldplay, Keane and Snow Patrol, who are always being trumpeted as being 'amazing', whereas genuine rock bands are attacked for being 'uncool'. Sorry, if this depressing, whining rubbish is 'cool' then I'm gonna be 'uncool' any day of the week!
Faithless...- it's dance/ rap for yuppies, meaning it's a dumbed down version of the already tiresome sentiments in the uncensored rap. Horrid.
Soul/rap ballads as sung by Whitney Houston et al. These are truly rancid songs, with some of the most hideously contrived singing you'll ever hear.
'Manufactured' boy/girl bands. I admit, it's fun to watch the TV programmes to hurl abuse and laugh at the knowingly terrible entrants, but the music the winners make is so anodyne and dull, you have to wonder who buys it!

Power metal (As cheezy as it gets)
Rap (I actually feel dumber when exposed to it)

let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword

i don't see which french rappers you are alluding to?!
i find them worst than the american ones (if possible?!)
Anyway, we don't understand what they say...
You can say Punk after 1979, and also before!
