What music do you hate?

[purpleronnie]

I find it odd that you could hate any kind of music.

I echo this sentiment as I grow older

You know what, I'm going to have to agree.

 

I used to be bad - even on here my music posts were awful (most of you probably know) - but I think I'm more open to learning new stuff than I ever have been.

I don't even think it's about learning about different types of music. I think it's just accepting that people like what they like and not being bothered about it.

Behave yourselves, you two. Who could hate the silky, smooth, dulcet tones and boyish charm of Mikey B?

Eh, depends how you define hate in this context. I can't stand a lot of what I hear when I turn the radio on (Ed Sheeran 90% of the time), because it's just bland, middle of the road guff, catchy enough to stick in your head, not catchy enough to enjoy. Not got visceral hate for it, but if we're using hate to mean dislike, then it's more odd that you wouldn't hate anything.

Hating an entire genre of music is ridiculous - every genre out there has SOMETHING to offer.

 

It's just easier to be ignorant and dismissive than it is to go searching for the good stuff.

 

Even the stuff you dislike normally has some sort of link / history within a genre / style that you do like.

 

It's also a lot easier to like all kinds of music when you stop associating it with style / fashion / stereotypes, etc.

One trend I really dislike is when people are taking classic dance songs and using the beat or the chorus to make their own shit rendition of it.

Watching BBC breakfast this morning I've been reminded that classical makeovers of pop or rock music is almost always very, very, wrong.

And panpipe makeovers of pop and rock.

You should probably stay away from Anarchy Arias then.

Really don't have the energy to hate any type of music, what I do hate is the way the music industry plays to death certain genres and songs, and if something is successful  for one band you get a million similar artists playing sub par pastiches of the current flavour of the month until everyone is sick of it, killing off not only the career of the original but also the followers who if left to develop on their own would have found their own voice and been better artists for it.

[MC Prussian]

I dislike every type of music or musician who has been artificially created and hyped to death in order to feed the need for dough by the music industry.

I dislike "wimpy" music - Coldplay springs to mind.

I dislike the rather bland music of today, I hate how "cheap" music has become, how you can substitute one "artist" for another.

I dislike music without true passion or emotion. You get so many bands who simply lack the drive and energy (and knowledge) to create something much more powerful and interesting.

I dislike music that fails to move me (but that's entirely subjective, of course).

I dislike music that smells of music producers, music that has been robbed of its soul and has been polished to no end.

I dislike most music with absolutely daft lyrics, songs that make no sense at all. And the ones that pretend to have a deeper meaning.

 

I understand, however, that you could probably go back ten, twenty, thirty years and ask people my age at the time and they'd probably come to the same conclusion.

It's a funny old cycle.

 

I am currently going back in time and enjoying the late 70ies/early 80ies, particularly the Punk/Post-Punk/New Wave era (before synthesizers became too dominant).

I am fascinated by the rawness, the energy, the joy, the guitar riffs, how dominant bass used to be, shorter songs.

Pretty much. Even as a Rap fan I tend to avoid the rap I dislike. Even in a relatively young genre like hip hop there's a big generational divide and old hip hop heads constantly moan about modern day hip hop. The Migos and Yatchy get so much backlash and hate but they have a strong audience. They're not my cup of tea, far from it, but people should just accept that people like it.

 

I don't like music by Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Katy Perry etc but I'm clearly not their core target group. I can generally find songs from most genres that I can enjoy.

Oh, I concur with your choice of songs. That's why I said "most music" - there's always room for exceptions.

All music has something in it or should I say genre's

 

Reggae not really a big hit with me but........

 

Rap, another I could take or leave but.........

 

Ska, yet another but

 

Dodgy lyrics  say Hello

 

Country.........

 

Music is the thing that you can debate for hours but there's something in every type that will make you think wow, thats quite good

 

Me I will always have.......

Almost everything that is played on commercial radio stations these days. Boring, bland, emotionless and repetitious as fvck.

A program dictated by the big music production companies, pushing their artists at least once an hour.

The death of the radio DJ some fifteen, twenty years ago has added to the misery.

Most commercial radio hosts aren't funny, nor do they have a particularly interesting character. And good luck finding somebody above the age of 35.

The humor of 20- to 25-year olds evades me.

 

One guy in our office listens to the radio. Every. Single. Day.

The horror when you find out the rotation only changes slightly in the space of four to five months.

[ozleicester]

This one million times.

 

Music with no emotion is pointless to me.  My girlfriend laughs at me because whenever I truly love a band I always say "They MEAN it" when describing them.  It has become a bit of a joke but I believe it to be true.  They have to MEAN it.  It has to be fvcking raw and true and powerful and emotional.  I don't care whether it is simple or complex or angry or sad or fast or slow or heavy or quiet but it has to be a genuine attempt to convey an emotion through music.  As a great man once said......... "First let's hear somebody sing me a record That cries pure and true. No not those guitars. They're too noisy and crude. The kind that convinces refuses to leave, There's no need to turn it up. If it's pure I'll feel it from here Let's make this precious, (I think we probably will) Let's make this precious, (I think we probably will)".  X
