This. Also, in Serbia, we have this TURBO FOLK thing. It has nothing to do with our traditional music, but is very good at showing the world we are morons. Look it up.

 

[HammerFist132]

Yep turbo folk is everything in Serbia, that why I do not listen our music xD.

I am little out with my music stile: My favourite is Moving Mountains xD.

Dum clash clash dum bang dum bang clash
I really like ur creativity for not creativity xD.

 

[The Reborn Devil]

For me the worst musical genres are pop, hiphop, rap, trance, techno, electronica, dubstep (these are not listed in any order) and probably some other genres I do not know the name of, but have heard.

I can tolerate everything else. I even like a lot of other genres.

 

[Arcisal]

Mayer's latest album.

 

[Maestros]

Death Metal,Rap.

away of this world!

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

Modern Rap is bad. The "Before" Rap was nice. It didnt talk about girls and their private parts.

ba dum dubstep ba dum

 

[rulerofiron99]

Oh right, forgot to mention Kwaito.

That's a local (South African) mix of house/rap/hiphop. It's terrible. Repetitive unmusical kick-kick-kick of house with all of the "girl girls money my dick is big" lyrics of rap and hip hop. Also Vuvuzelas.

 

[Adiktuz]

metal and modern rap... XD

 

[MortAr]

Justin Beaber ..... oh wait.

 

[NhazUl]

Chalga. Something akin to what HappyTauren mentioned. It's a powerful tool for torture.

 

[Gilles]

Sounds like intense boss music from the 16bit era. Then a guy starts singing. And I closed it.

 

[HappyTauren]

A guy. "Girls" are even worse I believe.

 

[Direfury]

Rap is terrible. So bad it makes me itch with disappointment.

 

[HappyTauren]

It is astounding that there hasn't been a flamewar in this thread yet. Or we all agree the same things suck?

 

[Rui]

Death Metal or other type of really noisy music, it doesn't ever seem to mean anything.

 

[takakenji]

Old Music like Bethotoven Come on Guys be Hip J.B Eminim Chris Brown Drakeis All rage 2day

 

[Lordkoon]

The new style - dubstep - lacking of any attribute a music shoud have. transformers making out at best...

And ofcorse the bulgarian pop-folk also reffered as Chalga.

Oh and the guys with a future severe case of throath cancer - death metalists.

 

[supertoinkz]

 

[Kingz]

I don't even classify dubstep as a genre, more like a composed noise.
Also what HT and Rui said also.

I tolerate rap music but don't like it.

Also hate what is today passed as "music".

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

^ TRUE THAT.

People do love talking about getting wasted, others private parts and drugs.

 

[gorillabull]

hey man dont look at it like that it has good instrument players and singing is not bad me i love all that eastern euro folk music i also like gypsy music what i dont like is 13 year old kids singing about love and partying especially when their voice is autotuned

 

[SA Dashie]

Rap and alot of the pop genre. >.>

 

[w3.player]

I am little out with my music stile: My favourite is Moving Mountains xD.

You, my friend... are my brother in music. Two steps from Hell - Epic; love it.

I don't even classify dubstep as a genre, more like a composed noise.

I tolerate rap music but don't like it.

Also hate what is today passed as "music".

^Agreed, in full.

Also, as my own mention... there is some music called "manele" in my country (Romania); it's music made by gypsies and unfortunately enough it's reached a rather expanded "area of effect" over the country... but i hate it and many do as well...


Then again, going on the other end of this topic: I love old classic music, both things like Beethoven, Mozart, Haydn... but also Abba, Beatles, Phoenix, etc.

 

[HappyTauren]

hey man dont look at it like that it has good instrument players and singing is not bad me i love all that eastern euro folk music i also like gypsy music what i dont like is 13 year old kids singing about love and partying especially when their voice is autotuned

It is a disgrace to music, period. So what if it has good instrument players? So does the majority of terribly shitty rock and metal, and simply playing your instruments well doesn't make your music quality, not to mention those vocals are a disgrace to LIFE. But I agree with you about those newborn R&B 'artists'.

 

[Deleted member 219079]

classical, boring

 

[HappyTauren]

classical, boring

Hah, what classical have you listened to if it is boring? It's beyond me how people say classical is boring and blues is interesting.

 

[May90]

All of them really suck... But I like 'em!

 

[HappyTauren]

All of them really suck... But I like 'em!

That's about the best way to put it, for the most part. All of us are guilty of liking music that is crap. For me it is metal, for instance.

 

[Deleted member 219079]

Hah, what classical have you listened to if it is boring? It's beyond me how people say classical is boring and blues is interesting.

Frank Zappa, Bach and Mozart.
I'm not interested in looking for classical artists. I've listened to Bach and Mozart because I studied about them in school.

 

[HappyTauren]

Ugh... are you saying Zappa is classical? Majority of classical music is far beyond anything modern 'artists' have composed. Of course, there's shit as well, but get this, it was a time when people were born to compose and play. Today, anybody can grab a guitar and compose a shitty three chord song. Not to mention classical has been proven to be healthy, unlike the modern pretentious and destructive music (I can even test it on myself, metal makes my blood boil and takes my heart rate up).

 

[Linaze]

Probably hip hop or rap or something similar (if there's any distinction between them) closely followed by digital pling plong (techno) music.

 

[Deleted member 219079]

Ugh... are you saying Zappa is classical?

Yes, some of his songs.

 

[Swazi Spring]

Definitely rap, but I'm not sure that can even be considered music.

 

[HappyTauren]

Yes, some of his songs.

That's fair, he's got some interesting stuff.

 

[NhazUl]

Classical music is beautiful as a whole and I usually enjoy listening to it. But it's too idyllic for the crapsack world we live in and this dissonance is what sometimes makes me turn off the radio.

 

[Debesh]

The problem with hating an entire genre is that every genre has it's good and bad authors. I never say that I hate rap or hip-hop or pop; generally I don't like songs that fall in that genre, yeah, but I'll occasionally find something that I like. You can't say a blanket statement like "I hate rock" unless you're adamant about hating everything for the sake of the category it's in.

 

[w3.player]

Although you may be right about that...
Most people do not bother listening to a certain genre after they've heard enough to "Hate it"...

Also, there are genres in which all songs are the same, so in that case it is actually possible to hate the entire genre. (example: "manele" from my country)

On another note as well... i believe most people which have said they hate a certain musical genre were referring to most of the songs in that genre. It's just easier to say "i hate genre X" than saying "i hate most of the songs in genre X"... laziness corrupts everyone.

 

[May90]

Hating any music is strange, at least. Nobody makes you listen to it: if you don't like it, simply ignore it. But hating assumes you really feel bad to it, you want to crush it and its authors and so on. Be more friendly, guys! If you don't like something, it doesn't mean it's bad, it only means that you don't like it.

 

[HappyTauren]

Hating any music is strange, at least.

Hate is quite the strong word, I'd say I rather 'despise' a lot of music, though I know why.

Nobody makes you listen to it: if you don't like it, simply ignore it.

Have you ever watched TV, or a movie, or passed by a club? You can't completely avoid it. It also works on a subconscious level, and the worst kind of music is also incredibly catchy, so you can't remove it from your brain, either.

But hating assumes you really feel bad to it, you want to crush it and its authors and so on.

Since I know a lot of entertainment industry is used for brainwash and mind control, yeah.

Be more friendly, guys! If you don't like something, it doesn't mean it's bad, it only means that you don't like it.

This is also true, but however, there's some nice and qualitystuff out there, but it is a huge minority. More than 99% of modern music is absolute crap, since anyone can make 'music' today. Even in classical eras there was low quality music, but it is true that back then it was harder to make music, so people weren't doing it if they didn't really want it and knew that's what they want. A lot of people today play music out of insecurity, for fame, money etc, and to be involved in music today, you require no knowledge, while back then, you were required to know so much that it took years of study and instrument practice.

 

[May90]

I would never say that some song is a crap or something. If some people like it and I don't, that means nothing except that we like different music. Yes, there is staff that is made by highly unprofessional and, sometimes, stupid people. But if somebody likes it anyways, why not then? They like it, they listen to it - and it's fine with me. Yes, sometimes I have to listen to it too a bit, but it is not so bad, it doesn't damage my brain or something.

I listen mainly to jazz and blues and people often say to me that my music is crappy, that I should listen to a "real" music and so on. That's their opinion and they can stick with it, I simply don't care.

 

[HappyTauren]

Denying there is such a thing as 'music quality' is foolish. It is not all about tastes and opinions. I like some crappy music myself.

 

[May90]

If by "music quality" you mean its complexity, used chords and scales and so on, then yes, there is such thing. But if people really like something, I cannot imagine how it can be called "bad" and "crappy". Only assuming that people are "bad" and "crappy" themselves which I simply don't believe to be truth.

 

[Arowanna]

I can’t say that there's much music that I really hate out there, but Swedish "dance band music" is fucking horrible... I can't handle it.

Of course, there's probably more music out there that I can't enjoy, but usually there's gold to be found everywhere, or at least almost everywhere. But I prefer my comfort zone of black- and death metal, ambient, noise and industrial. There are a lot of genres outside of those that I enjoy, but that wasn’t the point of this thread… And I’m already way out of topic.

Ugh... are you saying Zappa is classical? Majority of classical music is far beyond anything modern 'artists' have composed. Of course, there's shit as well, but get this, it was a time when people were born to compose and play. Today, anybody can grab a guitar and compose a shitty three chord song. Not to mention classical has been proven to be healthy, unlike the modern pretentious and destructive music (I can even test it on myself, metal makes my blood boil and takes my heart rate up).

I understand why some people find it "uninteresting", but if you actually take your time an look at the complexity of it, it’s quite amazing at times. But not everyone enjoys that and I honestly understand that (even if I enjoy it at times).

If by "music quality" you mean its complexity, used chords and scales and so on, then yes, there is such thing.

So all noise, ambient and all other "none-instrumental music genres" out there isn't music to begin with..? That sounds weird to me... But whatever, opinions on the Internet are futile anyway.

Edit

This is also true, but however, there's some nice and quality stuff out there, but it is a huge minority. More than 99% of modern music is absolute crap, since anyone can make 'music' today. Even in classical eras there was low quality music, but it is true that back then it was harder to make music, so people weren't doing it if they didn't really want it and knew that's what they want.

Happy, that's very biased and there's very little support for that. If you judge music by complexity, take a look at the death metal genre. You don't have to like what you hear, but observe the complexity; it's not just smashing drums and senseless riffing... And if complex structure blows your mind, take a second look.

And comparing musicians of today to those of the past is also kinda... Irrelevant. People today got a shit load of time were they do nothing, we are extremely bored. Back then a large portion of the people had to work most of the day just to survive, they didn't have the time to think about trivial stuff such as music, but if the times were different, they would've made music as well.

On the other hand though, I do see where you're coming from; an untalented "artist" of the past wouldn't get recognized, but today they will and with all honesty, I don't care. If people want simple, blank and catchy music, let them listen to it. Some people don't want to think while they listen to music and some don't want to be portentous snobs about how smart they are because of the fact that they understand a specific genre that no one else seems to understand... But, I do see were you coming from and you got a point, even if I find it very irrelevant. And to add to that, who do you think "enjoyed" music made by Bach and others? Peasant and beggars? I highly doubt that they even gave a shit about what he was doing to be honest.

How's this relevant? Kings and pompous bastards demand the flashiest of the flashiest, even if they might have enjoyed some simple folk music down at the pub far more than this...

All in all, I find the point very irrelevant, but again... How much does my humble opinion matter on the Internet… And I should mention that I’m writing this in the haze if immense tiredness, if that’s a possible way of “feeling”, or whatever -.-

Edit
I just realized that, "...that's very biased and there's very little support for that.", applies to my of post... Damn, I feel stupid now.

 

[Kingz]

You can't say a blanket statement like "I hate rock"

Sure i can. Dubstep songs are the same thing, every single time. Random bursts of sound effects put together and called music.

I am sorry but i do not like any of those songs, my friends played a lot of them to me and they all sound the same, id rather listen to nothing.
I do not argue with other people tho, they can listen to whatever the hell they want, as long as i don't have to listen to it also.

And i am sorry, but i still think Dubstep is just not fit to be compared to classical and rock music, and never will be.

 

[HappyTauren]

Happy, that's very biased and there's very little support for that. If you judge music by complexity, take a look at the death metal genre. You don't have to like what you hear, but observe the complexity; it's not just smashing drums and senseless riffing... And if complex structure blows your mind, take a second look.

This is extremely ironic, since I actually do play death metal (and have composed some), though I've resorted to different stuff lately. Also, complex 'death metal' has nothing on complex 'classical'. Complex classical music is ten thousand levels beyond anything any death metal has ever created, if anything, due to the fact that it is composed for a whole orchestra, which opens more possibilities and more possible lines at any given time, not to mention that classical composers tend to be way better. And of course, I do not mean the likes of hans zimmer, who create cheesy movie/game tracks.

And comparing musicians of today to those of the past is also kinda... Irrelevant.

It is true that the music industry is music quality's downfall, there's no denying for that.

People today got a shit load of time were they do nothing, we are extremely bored. Back then a large portion of the people had to work most of the day just to survive, they didn't have the time to think about trivial stuff such as music, but if the times were different, they would've made music as well.

Eh, those were some awesome times. No time for spoiled brats!

On the other hand though, I do see where you're coming from; an untalented "artist" of the past wouldn't get recognized, but today they will and with all honesty, I don't care. If people want simple, blank and catchy music, let them listen to it.

The problem is that you or I can't escape it. It is all over the place.

Some people don't want to think while they listen to music and some don't want to be portentous snobs about how smart they are because of the fact that they understand a specific genre that no one else seems to understand...

Genres are irrelevant, there's shitty classical music as well, it is just that modern music's shittiness is completely out of proportion.

But, I do see were you coming from and you got a point, even if I find it very irrelevant.

The fact that times change doesn't change what is true: that classical is, for your body and mind, the healthiest music to listen to.

And to add to that, who do you think "enjoyed" music made by Bach and others? Peasant and beggars? I highly doubt that they even gave a shit about what he was doing to be honest.

Peasants and beggars were mostly occupied with their day/night chores, but since people have a lot more free time today, and information is more available, there's actually no excuse. There's no excuse for me listening to shit music like majority of metal, when there has been quality music for centuries now (though I don't like how most of the classical stuff is played today, too pretentious).

How's this relevant? Kings and pompous bastards demand the flashiest of the flashiest, even if they might have enjoyed some simple folk music down at the pub far more than this...

That's irrelevant. The fact it that 'art' used to be commanded by 'artists'. Today, 'art' is commanded by talentless morons.

All in all, I find the point very irrelevant, but again... How much does my humble opinion matter on the Internet… And I should mention that I’m writing this in the haze if immense tiredness, if that’s a possible way of “feeling”, or whatever -.-

I feel you, I tend to hate everything and everyone once I am too tired. It's just the fact that nothing is good to you since nothing can satisfy you when you need sleep that much.

Edit
I just realized that, "...that's very biased and there's very little support for that.", applies to my of post... Damn, I feel stupid now.

Haha, don't worry, we're all hypocrites. But we must rely on others to make us realize that, it's quite good you understood that yourself. That being said, what the point of my view on this is, that classical IS the best music available, and there's no doubt. However, even then, there's shitty classical.

On the other hand, modern music can be sorted by opinions. For example, I dislike pop but like some of the metal.
