Trav Le Bleu Posted 26 March 2011 Share Posted 26 March 2011 I've always been a proponent that there is good in all styles of music and I have very diverse musical tastes. But the reverse applies. I was listening to one of my fellow Rogues Radio DJ the other night playing a Country and Western set... and he was playing all the kind of Country and Western music that I think gives C&W music a bad name (the popular commercial stuuf that implies loving your sister, being upset about your mule and lets all dance like a chicken), when there is actually a lot of good stuff. So for me, when Country and Western is bad, it's REALLY bad! Closely followed by Heavy Metal, then probably R&B. I'm not asking which music genre you don't like - it has to be music you would like, but frequently hear done in an annoying fashion. I've not included alternative music in the list cos ultimately alternative music is either alt-pop, alt-rock, alt-dance... just consider it to be part of the main genres. Heck, it might be the alt versions that annoy you! As for indie music, I'll say it for the hundredth time, it's not a genre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajthefox Posted 26 March 2011 Share Posted 26 March 2011 Tough one as I think all different genres can be as bad/as good as each other on a given day but I voted pop because I think chart-type music is probably the worst, and there's a reason for it. With stuff like heavy metal, screamo etc the market is very niche, and I think generally speaking people either like the genre as a whole or don't. If you don't like anything heavy, you'll think it's all rubbish. Whereas with more generic music such as poppy stuff, the market is so much bigger that it's harder for something to appeal to absolutely no-one, and so in a way if it's bad pop music, it's really bad. I hope that makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fosse Boy Posted 26 March 2011 Share Posted 26 March 2011 Dance. Nothing worse than having to spend a night getting your ears bashed in by shite like this. At the top of its game is a wonderful genre of music, but at it's worst it's just awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lillehamring Posted 26 March 2011 Share Posted 26 March 2011 has to be rap music for me - there are so few really original talents, and so much soundalike, egotistical wank. perhaps because it is so dependant on lyrical content a lot of 'artists don't think enough about the tracking and when the lyrics are bad....

"hard to answer.. as there is NO good country music at any time" Not my finest hour granted, but this was intended as a mildy humurous comment as to my thoughts on C&W music and the fact that whether it is done well or badly is mostly irrelevant.

Someone was telling me about it the other day but this is the first time I've heard it. She can't even sing! I used to quite like dance music, but it's starting to do my head in now. Every time they bring out a new Clubland CD it just gets worse and worse. How is bloody N-Dubz, etc being classed as dance music? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lillehamring Posted 26 March 2011 Share Posted 26 March 2011 Can't believe in this thread of all threads she's not been mentioned yet... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CD2LRROpph0 but THAT kind of music is bad on every level, there are no good examples of it.... so it doesn't fit the criteria requested--- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samilktray Posted 27 March 2011 Share Posted 27 March 2011 Rap isnt the genre, its what they do. Hip-Hop would be the genre. Thought I'd just say that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent Posted 27 March 2011 Share Posted 27 March 2011 Not on the poll and it's more of a subgenre, but Dubstep is either good or terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
