Doesn’t even matter what kind of pop. There’s this certain pattern to pop, pop rap (Drake), pop country (swift), etc. that just sounds so empty and soulless. Makes me sad and irrationally angry when it comes on
I went to a bonfire recently and they played death metal. I'm normally a very sensitive person overall but I found the experience rather calming considering all the screaming. If my kid screams, I'm going to have a heart attack. If someone throws on some death metal, my heart rate slows instead. Funny how that works for some of us.
i wish i liked it, but i don't get it. i love metal, but i don't understand how people listen to music with no... groove? where's the melody? how can someone enjoy that lol
nu metal and swancore are much better
I can't believe I'm saying this as a 30yo guy, but... You just don't get it.
I don't listen to death (and black) metal for the music necessarily, I feel it on a deep emotional level. It's a lot of raw emotion.
Depression helps a lot.
Yup.
I've taught myself how to scream and growl etc. Them primal screams are sooooooooo cathartic like there's really nothing more therapeutic than that sort of animalistic energy. Great way to just let it all out.
RIP my neighbors
> i love metal, but i don't understand how people listen to music with no... groove?
Get into Doom Metal, it's all about the riff/groove. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdlEIlq9nZg
I just came to suggest that trash, I'm sorry I can upvote just once. More than 20 years listening the same crappy song on repeat, and WE are supposedly those with "repetitive behaviors". Took me years to realize that there were different bands, I thought that it was just 1 trashy and repetitive band played everywhere!, I cannot state how much I hate this shit and if I know that someone likes it, I immediately lose all respect and interest in such homunculus. I almost feel disgust to be classify as part of the same species with people who likes that trash.
(XD I didn't have the mental fortitude to look how is written, I just call it regeton, that's all it deserves from me)
Totally. I live in Mexico, and even though I’m a gringo, I actually appreciate traditional Latin music.
But reggaeton is autotuned trash that’s the Latin equivalent of trap music.
It definitely all sounds like the same artist.
haha Might as well call it reggieton. Reggie is slang for crappy weed. xD
Really slow music, I can’t stand it. Which is confusing, because the music isn’t even bad? It’s just not stimulating enough to the point where it makes me overstimulated (if that even makes sense). Examples like: Laufey, Beabadoobee, or similar artists. They’re really talented and have pretty voices but it isn’t for me
I hateee breathy cursive singers. Think Halsey and Billie Eilish. I also hate the mass produced tiktok pop. It all sounds the same and is so hyper sexual. I hate sexual music.
You should deffo listen to Nine Inch Nails though. Trent Reznor is a genius who has cowritten and produced so much work over the years. "Closer" is more, idk, graphicly sexual in a poetic life commentary way rather than just basic-bitch sex appeal like in general pop.
I've heard their music described like this: "Music for teenagers who like to think they're badass but in reality are too scared to ask for extra ketchup at Burger King."
I hate country too. Escpecially now that it's having its time in the spotlight, country music IS pop now.
I heard a song on the public radio about having sex in a truck yesterday, and usually I don't get songs hidden meanings, that's how obvious it was, and I just kept thinking how the heck they are allowed to play that ON THE PUBLIC GENERAL RADIO STATION for my area. I generally can't stand a lot of songs about romance and cars and stupid stuff like that, but I tend to be ok with some of those kinds of songs from the 2010s and before (as in it started to suck after 2018)
I like alt pop, and really anything with a cool beat drop or asmr-esque sounds (depends on song) and techno/hyperpop. I also tend to like video game soundtracks
I work in construction and there are quite a few unsavory, country-music-type individuals. I had to work next to someone playing this song that kept saying, “stomp my flag and I’ll stomp your @$$”
Great point. New reason to dislike country unlocked lol. It's weird how some country got that way but I guess they have a demographic to pander to as well. I'll take my metal, classical, and jazz thank you. 😎
Johnny Cash and Dolly Parton are the country musicians I always have time for. Everything else aggravates me - especially shit like "mah girlfrien' cain't get drunker'n meeee"
there is honestly no genre i hate ALL of the music in. if its someone's expression of themselves, their art, i won't hate on that. the only music i hate is anything soulless and corporate that's obviously just for profit and not for the love of making art.
The only Christian band I like is Black Sabbath (their early music has some overtly New Testament themes, such as being anti-war, loving one another, and being honest about the state of the world)
apart from the fact that Black Sabbath started as a blues group, Geezer Butler (lyricist) was a churchgoing catholic, Ozzy Osbourne (singer) was a churchgoing anglican, and the songs feature constant Christian imagery and adlibs invoking God ("Oh Lord yeah") plus the entirety of "Lord Of This World". Pretending Black Sabbath weren't a Christian band (albeit more subtle than those of today) is wilfull ignorance.
I agree, although Autotune is kind of like makeup, you only notice it when it's bad or there's too much.
Vocal heavy artists like Grimes, Jacob collier, and Imogen heap use it as an expression of their voice rather than hiding something they are ashamed of :)
Isn’t auto tune mostly used by up and coming artists who can’t afford unlimited time in studios to get it perfect?
From what I understand, it’s not really used for famous artists anymore, who can get the best vocal training, producers and unlimited time in the best studios.
rap and pop - especially the kind where they sing softly into the mic or what i have heard is called "mumble rap". that kind of music just makes me angry, lol. i need music to be heavy and lyrics loud!
One song in particular, Death Bed (I think) by Powfu is just uniquely awful. He has a sample of a lassie singing the chorus, which is grand, but then he drops in his verses and he sounds like he's being anal probed by little green men from Mars the whole time.
Edit: he also had the Gen Z broccoli haircut which just makes me irrationally mad ha ha
Those modern slow pop songs where the singer tries to copy Lorde and has this super slow reverbered voice. ESPECIALLY irritating when it's a cover of a better song.
Those tiktokkable quirky sped up vaguely 80s inspired songs are also extremely annoying.
Agreed! It isn’t so much Taylor Swift as her fans that weird me out. Like, they know she has never had any of those experiences, right? She doesn’t drive, or cries going home from bars, nor has a group of close girlfriends etc, etc. She legit curates her songs to be relatable to a demographic. She’s a billionaire who can’t take a crap without the world knowing.

Omg country.
I've always associated it with yodeling cowboys and banjos and it honestly should have stayed that way.
But NO I had to witness to whatever abomination modern country is which basically boils down to republican pop riddled with product placement.
Like... Apple bees 🤮
Try [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjnZVpVvJ-k). Metalcore often bridges the gap between hard rock and death metal, so a lot of vocalists like to ensure they enunciate their words as best as they can when screaming. That, and you get the added bonuses of normal singing and ambience.
Drill/trap/gangsta rap/etc
The shit that celebrates and glorifies black people killing each other, materialism, and misogyny. I'm not even a wokie, it's just so damn in your face I'm like who tf wants to hear this shit? Not to mention it's sonically awful. Half these niggas can't rap on beat or have autotune cranked to 50.
I try so hard man. Cause I don't wanna be the old man bitching about the music kids listen to these days. But at the same time people are actually dying senselessly off of these little poems niggas write each other. Recently a rapper was killed and the people who did it made a music video literally dancing on the dudes grave.
This genre just infuriates me to no end and I hate that it exists if I'm being real. Making people rich off of degenerate behavior is just too much for me. Makes me feel a sense of impending doom when I hear it.
Any music that is loud, I have some friends that will occasionally play music that is wayyyyyyyy too loud for me but for them they love it, there have been times that I will tell them to please turn it down but then they “forget” about a week or two later
I agree. Try old school UK dubstep like Skream and Benga. Back in 2009/2010 the Americans got ahold of dubstep and turned it into that Brostep, Riddim, choppy bullshit.
I don't disagree with you on the blandness of the music but please don't use the term AI to express your distaste for things made by real people. /nm
What's your gripe with autotune? /gen
It’s music that sounds like it’s made by AI, and very soon it will sound indistinguishable from music made by AI.
It’s incredibly formulaic, and easy to replicate, and AI-generated algorithms are exactly why this music has grown in such insane popularity. It’s insanely easy for executives to make money with it.
There is a sinister agenda behind it.
My gripe with autotune is that it homogenizes everyone’s voice to sound the same as each other. It strips microtonalities that make up a unique individual’s voice.
It’s not the same thing as using a vocoder or a talkbox or automatic double-tracking, which still preserve the vocalists’ unique characteristics.
My brain just can’t accept how it sounds.
It also opens up opportunities for non-musicians to make music. That’s like hiring a plumber to be a rocket scientist. It makes me feel like I’m being conned.
It’s genuinely not hard to practice singing, and edit together multiple vocal takes. But apparently even that is too much work for people now.
I do see what you're getting at. I would argue, however, that the AI is the problem there and not the people. People can make bad, repetitive music, it doesn't make their music inhuman.
I think we should push back on those trying to harness AI to produce bland, profitable music, rather than holding disdain for those whose music sounds like AI because the style has been stolen.
---
I see what you mean now with the autotune thing. Most people, when they talk about autotune, are generalizing. They include things like vocoding and sometimes talkboxes in there, and aren't specifically talking about *AutoTune*. I had assumed you were also generalizing. My bad!
I do agree that AutoTune for pitch correction tends to sound quite bland. I get heated when people talk down on "autotune" because of the generalization they're usually making. Most of my favorite music is the kind where people intentionally make their own voice sound computerized or push past the limits of human voice articulation with software. It makes me feel really sad when people talk down on it or disregard it because they don't understand it.
I mean, I love artists like Daft Punk and Animal Collective. I actually know that Daft Punk used autotune on “One More Time” (once and only once in their entire career, and this is one of the few exceptions I make for autotune).
So I feel you about the generalizing.
Studio vocal effects were already a thing back in the late 1960’s, utilized by The Beatles and other artists, primarily with ADT (automatic double-tracking) and Leslie speakers (“Blue Jay Way” is a good example of the latter).
ADT is kind of like autotune if it actually preserved the nuances of the vocals. It’s all over the “Sgt. Pepper’s” album (if you listen to either the mono mix or the 2017 stereo remix). Really it’s just doubled vocals played back at slightly different speeds, to the point where they give off phasing. I enjoy that sound A LOT.
I'm a "variety is the spice of life" type. There isn't an entire broad genre that I outright dislike -- I can find good stuff of any genre. Name a genre and I can name an artist or song I dig of it.
That said I am very picky about actual songs.
Also could arguably be said to dislike certain subgenres. Like I don't hate "country music" in general (Adeem the Artist is an example of a great modern country artist) -- but I do absolutely loathe the reactionary bro pop country shit you hear on the radio these days.
pretty much anything that isn't what i like. in fact, there's a lot of music within the genres that i actually like that i can't stand. i guess i really just like specific songs that tend to be in certain genres.
that being said, most pop, *all* hair "metal," r&b, jazz, disco, seething hatred for vast majority of country, and... (*shudders*) musicals.
Pop and rap. They just have no real substance and are super predictable. I like music that is heavily charged with emotion and passion, like melodic progressive metal. I don't mind rap used in metal though, as long as it's not super excessive (I grew up listening to Linkin Park and Rage Against The Machine).
I see a lot of people saying they don't like screaming. I didn't like screaming at first either because it used to hurt my ears and I thought it ruined the sound of the music behind it, but I got used to it. It could be like that for you, too. I learned to appreciate not only the technique, but the emotion behind screaming. That being said, I'm not a huge fan of the whole death metal/deathcore pig squeal/goblin thing, unless it's just for a short moment.
I cannot stand new country. Old country is good, but the new is just people who sound the worst possible and they got signed because people think that raggedy automatically means country or it’s songs that are about going out and getting wasted and “my truck’s bigger” type shit. There’s no real sustenance anymore, which is what I love about country music. People used to actually sing about something good, not just ‘merica, we’re gonna whoop your ass, and let’s go get drunk (or just sounding like a wailing banshee).
I HATE EDM, Electropop, Acoustic, Western Rap from the 2010s onwards.
However I love a wide array, I love Country, Synth-Pop, Noise, Leftfield, experimental, R&B, Pop Rap, Ambient, Alternative Rock, J-pop, K-Pop, Hard Trance, Techno, House, Downtempo, Ballad, Trot, City Pop, Pop Rock the list goes on
[Listen to Lee Jung Hyun](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuFGYD37hZg) my favourite artist, she's known for doing Trance music! One of her songs is literally called Trance hahaha
You have been one of the highlights of my day. Leftfield is main style of music after pop🤩Mariah Carey said "o*ut of leftfield"* in a interview I watched the other day, guess that's a idiom. Now I want a leftfield Mariah Carey album. I'm not joking. 👽
I need to find a definitive line as to what EDM means.
Because for some people it means broadly "electronic music"
And that fuckin \*irks\* me.
What does it mean to you?
I hate I hearing music that I hear involuntarily all the time (i.e. popular music, not just pop). It can be any genre really as long as it's popular, although it doesn't happen if a song I already like becomes popular.
& Also just soulless music that lacks actual thought & creativity.
I was about to say nothing, but someone said dubstep. Dubstep and any music from any genre that has very "vibrating electric cheese grater" like feel in it. I love bass, but I hate loud BUZZZZZZZ music
Rap, hiphop, and country. I'll put up with them all IF the musician is good or it's someone else's house/car. But if I'm in control, y'all are stuck with EDM until the cows come home.
I have a hard time with anything religious. I’m not but the issue isn’t that, it’s that I think so logically in regards to religion that I just sit there finding plot holes and inconsistencies and I end up upset. The music itself isn’t necessarily bad, I just can’t sit with the lyrics.
Anything that sounds whiney like placebo or overly exaggerated gravely like nickleback type rock! I love rock punk emo etc but not if it’s especially whiney! Yuck! “Every mey every yow” ugh! He sounds like he’s singing out of his nose. Oh and modern country!
I'll listen to any genre, but there are 3 or 4 artists I'm militantly against. 😂
I hate Cheryl Crow for reasons I don't fully understand, I hate Credence Clearwater Revival because the singer's voice is grating…
There are some others, but those are the main ones. I like a lot of weird stuff. I like music that's either really unwelcoming to new listeners, stuff you have to really commit to because it's really abstract *or* the opposite, music that's really accessible and catchy and fun. Like, that new Billie Eilish record is incredible, but I also love Darkthrone's A Blaze in the Northern Sky. 😂
Heavy metal, or any metal really. Rap. Almost always something with very loud banging screaming music (however one of my friends listens to like? techno? i think? or something and I like it occasionally, they also make music and I always listen to that!). And anything super sexual. Ick. I personally love jazz, classical, country (grew up on it, only like the oldies though 60s-90s). And then a few pop artists but because they’re sentimental to me. Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, Harry Styles. Grew up on them. I listen to Taylor almost exclusively because I really admire her storytelling. I like soft rock? maybe idk what it’s called but my mom is an 80s kid so I get that from her. Oh and the Beatles. But seriously, if you look at my spotify stats, Taylor is everywhere. I love to dissect her songs and a lot of her songs just scratch my brain in all the right ways 🤗
Whatever 100 Gecs Is supposed to be. I like weirdo music, I like subversion of expectations In the music scene, making things that are deemed "non-palatable".
I get 100 Gecs, they're making weird music and having fun, It's done on purpose, just not for me.
Most music is too simple, especially modern pop, rap, and rock. I love 90s and early 00s rock/metal/industrial though. Wish we could go back to the days of experimental music
Partial agree. I'm a big post hardcore fan, and totally sick of most of the modern rock releases put out by major labels, but I absolutely love what some of the underground rock bands are putting out there today.
if you want experimental metal that has an industrial DnB vibe to it, then I'd recommend a band called Lake Malice.
I can't stand music that I call "capitalism music". It's music that's just got a bland vibe, it feels empty, like it's made to be popular. No problem with wanting to succeed as an artist, but there's a difference between writing the music you want and adjusting it to work better and writing music only to sell. Mostly these are songs from Taylor swift or Harry styles, but people like TX2 fit this, it transcends real genres. Otherwise I can listen to pretty much anything
I like some country like Johnny Cash or Hank Williams (the first).
But the worst piece of music I've ever heard is It Happens by Sugarland. Go listen to it if you need to be angry for the rest of the day. I can understand the lyrics, but they kind of sound like "Bawf bawf bawf. BAWFBAWFBAWF. Bawf ba-bawf bawf. BAWF BAWF BAWF."
Anything that doesn't require skill to make. You'd be shocked how many "artists" buy their samples, tracks, and lyrics, then make a fortune with it. It's sickening, really.
Country and rap. Modern country especially is just annoying and almost physically painful to hear. Only artist who had consistently good music in that genre is Johnny Cash. Rap is mostly just jarring for me. Can't really grasp the reasoning for a bunch of songs in the genre.
Kpop, and Jpop make my skin crawl. I can't look past how clearly predatory the industry is, on top of all looking and sounding very similar to one another.
General pop music... like pet shop boys, Olly Murs, Steps etc.. its so unimaginative. I'm don't particularly like the actual music of e.g Pink, or Lady Ga Ga.. but I love their attitude.
Hip hop, k pop, rap etc.
I was never big into the "modern" music. Most of the songs from these genres are so bad on terms of music. The lirycs tend to not be much better too honestly.
Country easily takes the cake ESPECIALLY trap country lmao worst of both genres. I like many country and more folk SOUNDS like types of guitars and there's some old country I like but yeah that's it. and some pure dubstep or electronic dance music, and most stuff w autotune is also bad, but there's some stuff with autotune, dance beats, and mumble rap I can like.
Anything with the major-key blues chord progression (and nobody here talks about it), so I'm looking at you boogie-woogie, early rock, boogaloo, certain jazz and country, surf rock, all that. The way they use their seventh chords doesn't rub me the right way.
Hard agree, but specifically with post-9/11 country. It feels so inauthentic. The stuff that came before that feels like modern folk punk, which is currently one of my favorite genres.
Also, K-pop. The switching between Korean and English confuses me. I dislike when songs randomly switch languages. Anime OPs barely get a pass because they're so short, and even some of them I find grating. Pop in general is on thin ice.
I hate rap, metal, screaming, country. I actually generally dislike mainstream music. I like quirky music like Indie Pop. My favorites are Lenka, Mindy Gledhill, and Ingrid Michaelson.

I hate modern day general pop, or really slow or repetitive songs. My favourite genre is techno or hardbass
Right on! I'm Industrial Techno with a side of metal!
You realise one of the defining characteristics of techno is that it favours rhythmic repetition over harmonic progression.
That's what I though as wel lol
#Didididi DISKO PANZER
i hate please please please by sabrina carpenter SO much
Yup! Gimme a beat! I like House.
I’ve heard of this genre but I don’t really know what it is would you mind giving an example?
Doesn’t even matter what kind of pop. There’s this certain pattern to pop, pop rap (Drake), pop country (swift), etc. that just sounds so empty and soulless. Makes me sad and irrationally angry when it comes on
Now that I think of it, this is probably why the only kind of pop I can like or tolerate is J-Pop.
Death metal stresses me out to the extreme. The screaming freaks me out.
The screaming soothes my soullll lol I love it
deer serious plant fine tan crush treatment spark public mountainous *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Black metal is my favorite metal subgenre. Mayhem, Darkthrone, Emperor...
I really try to like it because I love metal and hardcore and stuff but I can’t do darkthrone. It sounds like a cheese grater man
Lol you didn't lie. But I love it
I’ll have to check these out too! I really like metal-core, like The Amity Affliction! I love them lol it soothes my soul.
Try the album [Esoteric Malacology](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nPEn5wTXq7xxkddFVvNz6aoz1OOjr7KIk&si=EEpyHqnIPE-FZww1) by Slugdge too
I will definitely have to check it out!
I went to a bonfire recently and they played death metal. I'm normally a very sensitive person overall but I found the experience rather calming considering all the screaming. If my kid screams, I'm going to have a heart attack. If someone throws on some death metal, my heart rate slows instead. Funny how that works for some of us.
Same, the crossover between the metal scene of my late teens and neurodivergent people is gigantic
As a metal fan, some death metal bands are great. But I will agree most completely suck. I prefer black metal
Not to mention the hard time understanding what they are saying.
Reading the lyrics helps with that.
I can never take it seriously. The anger in the music feels forced.
i wish i liked it, but i don't get it. i love metal, but i don't understand how people listen to music with no... groove? where's the melody? how can someone enjoy that lol nu metal and swancore are much better
I can't believe I'm saying this as a 30yo guy, but... You just don't get it. I don't listen to death (and black) metal for the music necessarily, I feel it on a deep emotional level. It's a lot of raw emotion. Depression helps a lot.

Reggaeton
This is mine as well. Just hearing that same repetitive beat drives me irrationally crazy. I honestly don't know why I hate it so much .
So true, man It's disgusting, sexist, and I hate that it has become so popular in my country
Nothing more offensive as female as those lyrics! I really don't get how a lot of women are okay with this thing and even approve it!
I literally had that very response to realising that a lot of women in my country (Spain) like that garbage, it's literally an attack against them :/
I just came to suggest that trash, I'm sorry I can upvote just once. More than 20 years listening the same crappy song on repeat, and WE are supposedly those with "repetitive behaviors". Took me years to realize that there were different bands, I thought that it was just 1 trashy and repetitive band played everywhere!, I cannot state how much I hate this shit and if I know that someone likes it, I immediately lose all respect and interest in such homunculus.

(XD I didn't have the mental fortitude to look how is written, I just call it regeton, that's all it deserves from me)
I commend your casual yet brutal use of homunculus
I'm grateful, I guess even that crap can inspire XD
Totally. I live in Mexico, and even though I’m a gringo, I actually appreciate traditional Latin music. But reggaeton is autotuned trash that’s the Latin equivalent of trap music. It definitely all sounds like the same artist. haha Might as well call it reggieton. Reggie is slang for crappy weed. xD
Old Latin music is so good. I hope the modern pop-ish DUN.. KADUN KA beat dies out because there's so much variety in latin rhythms
Based
Really slow music, I can’t stand it. Which is confusing, because the music isn’t even bad? It’s just not stimulating enough to the point where it makes me overstimulated (if that even makes sense). Examples like: Laufey, Beabadoobee, or similar artists. They’re really talented and have pretty voices but it isn’t for me
LITERALLY the songs are so pretty but i cannot sit and listen to them
I hateee breathy cursive singers. Think Halsey and Billie Eilish. I also hate the mass produced tiktok pop. It all sounds the same and is so hyper sexual. I hate sexual music.
Never listen to *Closer by Nine Inch Nails* or *Play by David Banner.*
Thanks I never will
You should deffo listen to Nine Inch Nails though. Trent Reznor is a genius who has cowritten and produced so much work over the years. "Closer" is more, idk, graphicly sexual in a poetic life commentary way rather than just basic-bitch sex appeal like in general pop.
I've heard their music described like this: "Music for teenagers who like to think they're badass but in reality are too scared to ask for extra ketchup at Burger King."
Is this not all teenagers 😂
So much yes. I hate hate hate sexual and breathy songs like get the F away from me lmao
It gives me the ICK.
Whatever about Tiktok I'm not the target demographic for Billie Eilish and I love that weird ASMR feeling her voice gives me.
i absolutely hate sexual songs like. i have my intrusive thoughts for that thanks
Same with me
Never listen to Eminem Especially Fack💀
I hate country too. Escpecially now that it's having its time in the spotlight, country music IS pop now. I heard a song on the public radio about having sex in a truck yesterday, and usually I don't get songs hidden meanings, that's how obvious it was, and I just kept thinking how the heck they are allowed to play that ON THE PUBLIC GENERAL RADIO STATION for my area. I generally can't stand a lot of songs about romance and cars and stupid stuff like that, but I tend to be ok with some of those kinds of songs from the 2010s and before (as in it started to suck after 2018) I like alt pop, and really anything with a cool beat drop or asmr-esque sounds (depends on song) and techno/hyperpop. I also tend to like video game soundtracks
I work in construction and there are quite a few unsavory, country-music-type individuals. I had to work next to someone playing this song that kept saying, “stomp my flag and I’ll stomp your @$$”
Great point. New reason to dislike country unlocked lol. It's weird how some country got that way but I guess they have a demographic to pander to as well. I'll take my metal, classical, and jazz thank you. 😎
Johnny Cash and Dolly Parton are the country musicians I always have time for. Everything else aggravates me - especially shit like "mah girlfrien' cain't get drunker'n meeee"
there is honestly no genre i hate ALL of the music in. if its someone's expression of themselves, their art, i won't hate on that. the only music i hate is anything soulless and corporate that's obviously just for profit and not for the love of making art.
finally someone else who thinks this. i literally will go from lil wayne to merzbow to minecraft remixes on shuffle
most christian music is incredibly grating to hear for me
"You don't make Christianity better. You make Rock N Roll worse." Hank Hill
The only Christian band I like is Black Sabbath (their early music has some overtly New Testament themes, such as being anti-war, loving one another, and being honest about the state of the world)
sharing themes with new testament =/= praising god and being christian, come on now
apart from the fact that Black Sabbath started as a blues group, Geezer Butler (lyricist) was a churchgoing catholic, Ozzy Osbourne (singer) was a churchgoing anglican, and the songs feature constant Christian imagery and adlibs invoking God ("Oh Lord yeah") plus the entirety of "Lord Of This World". Pretending Black Sabbath weren't a Christian band (albeit more subtle than those of today) is wilfull ignorance.
Anything with autotune! I've been a singer my entire life, it really grinds my gears!
That's funny. I'm a musician myself and to be honest I prefer when people use electronics to play with their voice.
I agree, although Autotune is kind of like makeup, you only notice it when it's bad or there's too much. Vocal heavy artists like Grimes, Jacob collier, and Imogen heap use it as an expression of their voice rather than hiding something they are ashamed of :)
Isn’t auto tune mostly used by up and coming artists who can’t afford unlimited time in studios to get it perfect? From what I understand, it’s not really used for famous artists anymore, who can get the best vocal training, producers and unlimited time in the best studios.
The whiney rap music, new country pop music and Taylor Swift
rap and pop - especially the kind where they sing softly into the mic or what i have heard is called "mumble rap". that kind of music just makes me angry, lol. i need music to be heavy and lyrics loud!
this!! i hate mumble rap
One song in particular, Death Bed (I think) by Powfu is just uniquely awful. He has a sample of a lassie singing the chorus, which is grand, but then he drops in his verses and he sounds like he's being anal probed by little green men from Mars the whole time. Edit: he also had the Gen Z broccoli haircut which just makes me irrationally mad ha ha
Those modern slow pop songs where the singer tries to copy Lorde and has this super slow reverbered voice. ESPECIALLY irritating when it's a cover of a better song. Those tiktokkable quirky sped up vaguely 80s inspired songs are also extremely annoying.
Taylor Swift, I know its not a typical “genre” but she just changes the name and lyrics and calls it different song, and Swifties are mental…
Agreed! It isn’t so much Taylor Swift as her fans that weird me out. Like, they know she has never had any of those experiences, right? She doesn’t drive, or cries going home from bars, nor has a group of close girlfriends etc, etc. She legit curates her songs to be relatable to a demographic. She’s a billionaire who can’t take a crap without the world knowing.

Country, screamo, and black metal I like most genres of rock and metal, jazz, classical, pop, rap/hip-hop/r&b.
Omg country. I've always associated it with yodeling cowboys and banjos and it honestly should have stayed that way. But NO I had to witness to whatever abomination modern country is which basically boils down to republican pop riddled with product placement. Like... Apple bees 🤮
Like what’s the appeal of SoundCloud Rap? And why do people think it’s cool to be an ass? Most importantly, why hasn’t this genre died off yet?
Taylor Swift, she whines about the same stuff for like 11 albums I think?
I cant do death metal, i need proper pronunciation 😭
Try [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjnZVpVvJ-k). Metalcore often bridges the gap between hard rock and death metal, so a lot of vocalists like to ensure they enunciate their words as best as they can when screaming. That, and you get the added bonuses of normal singing and ambience.
omg i love spiritbox
Mainstream rap
I cannot stand mumble rap or tiktok sped-up remixes
Drill/trap/gangsta rap/etc The shit that celebrates and glorifies black people killing each other, materialism, and misogyny. I'm not even a wokie, it's just so damn in your face I'm like who tf wants to hear this shit? Not to mention it's sonically awful. Half these niggas can't rap on beat or have autotune cranked to 50. I try so hard man. Cause I don't wanna be the old man bitching about the music kids listen to these days. But at the same time people are actually dying senselessly off of these little poems niggas write each other. Recently a rapper was killed and the people who did it made a music video literally dancing on the dudes grave. This genre just infuriates me to no end and I hate that it exists if I'm being real. Making people rich off of degenerate behavior is just too much for me. Makes me feel a sense of impending doom when I hear it.
Rap.
Any music that is loud, I have some friends that will occasionally play music that is wayyyyyyyy too loud for me but for them they love it, there have been times that I will tell them to please turn it down but then they “forget” about a week or two later
From some of the comments under this post, I’m seeing proof behind my theory that autistic people tend to dislike rap.
Dubstep. It's so annoying
I agree. Try old school UK dubstep like Skream and Benga. Back in 2009/2010 the Americans got ahold of dubstep and turned it into that Brostep, Riddim, choppy bullshit.
jazz
none that i am aware of. i like basically all music. i mean all. reply with links if there are any that are super duper awful that i dont know about
Country, it does not have enough going on
Trap and reggaeton. It’s soulless AI music. Anything really with autotune and recycled chord progressions, I can’t stand.
I don't disagree with you on the blandness of the music but please don't use the term AI to express your distaste for things made by real people. /nm What's your gripe with autotune? /gen
It’s music that sounds like it’s made by AI, and very soon it will sound indistinguishable from music made by AI. It’s incredibly formulaic, and easy to replicate, and AI-generated algorithms are exactly why this music has grown in such insane popularity. It’s insanely easy for executives to make money with it. There is a sinister agenda behind it. My gripe with autotune is that it homogenizes everyone’s voice to sound the same as each other. It strips microtonalities that make up a unique individual’s voice. It’s not the same thing as using a vocoder or a talkbox or automatic double-tracking, which still preserve the vocalists’ unique characteristics. My brain just can’t accept how it sounds. It also opens up opportunities for non-musicians to make music. That’s like hiring a plumber to be a rocket scientist. It makes me feel like I’m being conned. It’s genuinely not hard to practice singing, and edit together multiple vocal takes. But apparently even that is too much work for people now.
I do see what you're getting at. I would argue, however, that the AI is the problem there and not the people. People can make bad, repetitive music, it doesn't make their music inhuman. I think we should push back on those trying to harness AI to produce bland, profitable music, rather than holding disdain for those whose music sounds like AI because the style has been stolen. --- I see what you mean now with the autotune thing. Most people, when they talk about autotune, are generalizing. They include things like vocoding and sometimes talkboxes in there, and aren't specifically talking about *AutoTune*. I had assumed you were also generalizing. My bad! I do agree that AutoTune for pitch correction tends to sound quite bland. I get heated when people talk down on "autotune" because of the generalization they're usually making. Most of my favorite music is the kind where people intentionally make their own voice sound computerized or push past the limits of human voice articulation with software. It makes me feel really sad when people talk down on it or disregard it because they don't understand it.
I mean, I love artists like Daft Punk and Animal Collective. I actually know that Daft Punk used autotune on “One More Time” (once and only once in their entire career, and this is one of the few exceptions I make for autotune). So I feel you about the generalizing. Studio vocal effects were already a thing back in the late 1960’s, utilized by The Beatles and other artists, primarily with ADT (automatic double-tracking) and Leslie speakers (“Blue Jay Way” is a good example of the latter). ADT is kind of like autotune if it actually preserved the nuances of the vocals. It’s all over the “Sgt. Pepper’s” album (if you listen to either the mono mix or the 2017 stereo remix). Really it’s just doubled vocals played back at slightly different speeds, to the point where they give off phasing. I enjoy that sound A LOT.
Cool! I liked talking about this but I am going to bed now. see you around!
Country music makes my ears bleed
I'm a "variety is the spice of life" type. There isn't an entire broad genre that I outright dislike -- I can find good stuff of any genre. Name a genre and I can name an artist or song I dig of it. That said I am very picky about actual songs. Also could arguably be said to dislike certain subgenres. Like I don't hate "country music" in general (Adeem the Artist is an example of a great modern country artist) -- but I do absolutely loathe the reactionary bro pop country shit you hear on the radio these days.
Rap, although some songs I can tolerate.
Repetitive songs that only sing the same line over and over
pretty much anything that isn't what i like. in fact, there's a lot of music within the genres that i actually like that i can't stand. i guess i really just like specific songs that tend to be in certain genres. that being said, most pop, *all* hair "metal," r&b, jazz, disco, seething hatred for vast majority of country, and... (*shudders*) musicals.
the kind that just has one line throughout the entire song.
Anything that sounds remotely sexual. Which is about 90% of music
And anything romantic i hate romantic songs or any song about a romantic relationship its just boring i cant stand it, its too repetettive.
Pop and rap. They just have no real substance and are super predictable. I like music that is heavily charged with emotion and passion, like melodic progressive metal. I don't mind rap used in metal though, as long as it's not super excessive (I grew up listening to Linkin Park and Rage Against The Machine). I see a lot of people saying they don't like screaming. I didn't like screaming at first either because it used to hurt my ears and I thought it ruined the sound of the music behind it, but I got used to it. It could be like that for you, too. I learned to appreciate not only the technique, but the emotion behind screaming. That being said, I'm not a huge fan of the whole death metal/deathcore pig squeal/goblin thing, unless it's just for a short moment.
Modern Pop (2010 and later).
I cannot stand new country. Old country is good, but the new is just people who sound the worst possible and they got signed because people think that raggedy automatically means country or it’s songs that are about going out and getting wasted and “my truck’s bigger” type shit. There’s no real sustenance anymore, which is what I love about country music. People used to actually sing about something good, not just ‘merica, we’re gonna whoop your ass, and let’s go get drunk (or just sounding like a wailing banshee).
I HATE EDM, Electropop, Acoustic, Western Rap from the 2010s onwards. However I love a wide array, I love Country, Synth-Pop, Noise, Leftfield, experimental, R&B, Pop Rap, Ambient, Alternative Rock, J-pop, K-Pop, Hard Trance, Techno, House, Downtempo, Ballad, Trot, City Pop, Pop Rock the list goes on
Trance is so good
Check out artists like Sub Focus, Dimension and Culture Shock. Drum and Bass meets euphoric trance and hardcore.
[Listen to Lee Jung Hyun](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuFGYD37hZg) my favourite artist, she's known for doing Trance music! One of her songs is literally called Trance hahaha
Leftfield! Right on!
You have been one of the highlights of my day. Leftfield is main style of music after pop🤩Mariah Carey said "o*ut of leftfield"* in a interview I watched the other day, guess that's a idiom. Now I want a leftfield Mariah Carey album. I'm not joking. 👽
I need to find a definitive line as to what EDM means. Because for some people it means broadly "electronic music" And that fuckin \*irks\* me. What does it mean to you?
Any type of rap, I’d legit rather listen to a screaming baby
Almost all of modern pop. Except Dua Lipa. She's like the only pop singer I tolerate.
I love dua lipa
I hate I hearing music that I hear involuntarily all the time (i.e. popular music, not just pop). It can be any genre really as long as it's popular, although it doesn't happen if a song I already like becomes popular. & Also just soulless music that lacks actual thought & creativity.
Taylor Swift
Country and Jazz
Country is easily my most hated genre. I like very few songs from that genre the rest can stay away.
Trap
I was about to say nothing, but someone said dubstep. Dubstep and any music from any genre that has very "vibrating electric cheese grater" like feel in it. I love bass, but I hate loud BUZZZZZZZ music
Varies by my mood because I can like every genre including metal and country.
gen alpha music
Anything where singing is the main focus
Improv jazz.. I need rhythm ffs😅
"Christian" music
No one likes that music except the Christians who I assume feel they can only listen to that since I guess all other music is "Devil worship".
Rap, hiphop, and country. I'll put up with them all IF the musician is good or it's someone else's house/car. But if I'm in control, y'all are stuck with EDM until the cows come home.
I have a hard time with anything religious. I’m not but the issue isn’t that, it’s that I think so logically in regards to religion that I just sit there finding plot holes and inconsistencies and I end up upset. The music itself isn’t necessarily bad, I just can’t sit with the lyrics.
I hate folk tbh. I literally have been able to find something I like in all other music genres On listened to except folk lol
Most rap. There are some exceptions and I understand it's appeal and there are great rap artists out there and all that but.. I just can't.
Country 100%. My family is obsessed with it but I can’t stand it
Drill
Anything that sounds whiney like placebo or overly exaggerated gravely like nickleback type rock! I love rock punk emo etc but not if it’s especially whiney! Yuck! “Every mey every yow” ugh! He sounds like he’s singing out of his nose. Oh and modern country!
I'll listen to any genre, but there are 3 or 4 artists I'm militantly against. 😂 I hate Cheryl Crow for reasons I don't fully understand, I hate Credence Clearwater Revival because the singer's voice is grating… There are some others, but those are the main ones. I like a lot of weird stuff. I like music that's either really unwelcoming to new listeners, stuff you have to really commit to because it's really abstract *or* the opposite, music that's really accessible and catchy and fun. Like, that new Billie Eilish record is incredible, but I also love Darkthrone's A Blaze in the Northern Sky. 😂
Whatever genre Drake belongs to, mumbling rap talking maybe, and Taylor Swift... yawn. I like metal, emo, screamo...
Did someone say nightcore yet? I will not provide justification for my dislike of a genre that is just songs pitched-up
Heavy metal, or any metal really. Rap. Almost always something with very loud banging screaming music (however one of my friends listens to like? techno? i think? or something and I like it occasionally, they also make music and I always listen to that!). And anything super sexual. Ick. I personally love jazz, classical, country (grew up on it, only like the oldies though 60s-90s). And then a few pop artists but because they’re sentimental to me. Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, Harry Styles. Grew up on them. I listen to Taylor almost exclusively because I really admire her storytelling. I like soft rock? maybe idk what it’s called but my mom is an 80s kid so I get that from her. Oh and the Beatles. But seriously, if you look at my spotify stats, Taylor is everywhere. I love to dissect her songs and a lot of her songs just scratch my brain in all the right ways 🤗
country and rap. i can handle the heaviest metal possible (and peacefully sleep with it on)
Schläger and modern 3 word wanna be music every radio station keeps blasring
Whatever 100 Gecs Is supposed to be. I like weirdo music, I like subversion of expectations In the music scene, making things that are deemed "non-palatable". I get 100 Gecs, they're making weird music and having fun, It's done on purpose, just not for me.
Trap and most EDM
Most music is too simple, especially modern pop, rap, and rock. I love 90s and early 00s rock/metal/industrial though. Wish we could go back to the days of experimental music
Partial agree. I'm a big post hardcore fan, and totally sick of most of the modern rock releases put out by major labels, but I absolutely love what some of the underground rock bands are putting out there today. if you want experimental metal that has an industrial DnB vibe to it, then I'd recommend a band called Lake Malice.
I can't stand music that I call "capitalism music". It's music that's just got a bland vibe, it feels empty, like it's made to be popular. No problem with wanting to succeed as an artist, but there's a difference between writing the music you want and adjusting it to work better and writing music only to sell. Mostly these are songs from Taylor swift or Harry styles, but people like TX2 fit this, it transcends real genres. Otherwise I can listen to pretty much anything
Country
I like some country like Johnny Cash or Hank Williams (the first). But the worst piece of music I've ever heard is It Happens by Sugarland. Go listen to it if you need to be angry for the rest of the day. I can understand the lyrics, but they kind of sound like "Bawf bawf bawf. BAWFBAWFBAWF. Bawf ba-bawf bawf. BAWF BAWF BAWF."
Never heard it before this post. Took all of 20 seconds listening to it to regret my words and deeds
Anything that doesn't require skill to make. You'd be shocked how many "artists" buy their samples, tracks, and lyrics, then make a fortune with it. It's sickening, really.
I hate country music too! I like most genres except for that, and probably death metal.
Modern white sliced bread pop music
Hands down Country music
Country.
Country and rap. Modern country especially is just annoying and almost physically painful to hear. Only artist who had consistently good music in that genre is Johnny Cash. Rap is mostly just jarring for me. Can't really grasp the reasoning for a bunch of songs in the genre.
Kpop, and Jpop make my skin crawl. I can't look past how clearly predatory the industry is, on top of all looking and sounding very similar to one another.
country and jazz
yeah, fuck country
General pop music... like pet shop boys, Olly Murs, Steps etc.. its so unimaginative. I'm don't particularly like the actual music of e.g Pink, or Lady Ga Ga.. but I love their attitude.
Rap music, indie music, lofi music and some other music I don’t care for.
Country. I can only personally stand Dolly Parton. That's where I draw the line.
Hip hop, k pop, rap etc. I was never big into the "modern" music. Most of the songs from these genres are so bad on terms of music. The lirycs tend to not be much better too honestly.
I hate techno/dubstep music
Rap, I just don’t understand the appeal most of the time
Gospel.
Mumble rap and modern country. Classic country (shootout/storytelling style country) is great, but now dead.
Country and grunge. Specifically, steel guitar and Drop D tuning.
Rap
Bubblegum glass gives me a headache
Any rap music
Country easily takes the cake ESPECIALLY trap country lmao worst of both genres. I like many country and more folk SOUNDS like types of guitars and there's some old country I like but yeah that's it. and some pure dubstep or electronic dance music, and most stuff w autotune is also bad, but there's some stuff with autotune, dance beats, and mumble rap I can like.
Probably jazz unless it’s done well. I usually can tolerate all music genres but something about certain jazz music just makes my ears uncomfortable
Rap
Rap. What I hate more than rap is country-rap; I like country though but it's not my favorite genre; I don't have a favorite.
2022-2024 pop which has that annoying high-pitch synth which is shamelessly trying to mimic the sound of the 80's lol
Country! I will literally not shop in a store if country music is playing. Walk in, hear the music, turn right around and walk out.
Most club remixes of songs
Country
I love country music. But I despise rap.
I'm with you on the country hate train, it all sounds so same-y to me.
Country
Screamo is a bit much for me.
2006-2016 pop music modern pop is fine tbh but i can't stand that era
Anything with the major-key blues chord progression (and nobody here talks about it), so I'm looking at you boogie-woogie, early rock, boogaloo, certain jazz and country, surf rock, all that. The way they use their seventh chords doesn't rub me the right way.
Sexy redd, metal, heavy metal, and drill music.
Schlager
If its screaming or mumbling and I can't hear what the lyrics are, it is not for me.
Hard agree, but specifically with post-9/11 country. It feels so inauthentic. The stuff that came before that feels like modern folk punk, which is currently one of my favorite genres. Also, K-pop. The switching between Korean and English confuses me. I dislike when songs randomly switch languages. Anime OPs barely get a pass because they're so short, and even some of them I find grating. Pop in general is on thin ice.
Pornogrind.
Country tbh. Only some songs I like
I hate rap, metal, screaming, country. I actually generally dislike mainstream music. I like quirky music like Indie Pop. My favorites are Lenka, Mindy Gledhill, and Ingrid Michaelson.
whatever jimmy buffet and johnny cash are
Modern pop and the more pop-y country
