Music What’s your least favourite genre of music?

[Cosmega]

Is there a genre of music that you don't like, wether if it's annoying, wether if it's cringe, or you simply don't enjoy?
For me, I guess it's rap. Sometimes is… a bit cringe, specially rap battles, like, it's just people saying rhyming insults to each other, what's the point?
And I also hate funk. It's annoying, really oversaturated in the place I live, and, most of the time, the lyrics of the songs of this genre aren't really… appropriate. If you don't know what funk is, DO NOT search songs of it, it's terrible.

What about you?

 

[Palamon]

I'll listen to anything unless it has the n word in it. I just don't want to hear that.

 

[TrainerJacob]

Country, or at least today's country. (Some of the Classic Country is fine, others not so much)

 

[Starlight]

I would say rap, not really because I don't enjoy it as an artform - I actually grew up drenched in hip hop - but because I just can't deal with some of the toxic lyrics anymore.

Some rock has similar issues too, and I also tend to avoid those groups, even though I'm a rock nut.

 

[Duck]

Probably Brazilian funk.

The lyrics are often just too overtly sexual or toxic masculinity-ish for me to enjoy, and like, it's very much a dance-y type of song, but not really the type of song I'd like to listen in say, the bus or during a walk, you know?

Not the easiest question... lately I've come to the conclusion that there's good and bad songs in pretty much every genre of music, rather than the genres themselves being good or bad, so I'd be sort of wrong even if I listed music I don't typically listen to or enjoy, like trap or noise etc.

But there's one genre that comes to mind, if you can even call it that way... all the "summery", often reggaeton-inspired pop music that we always get on italian radio! Every summer there's a bunch of the same artists making nearly the same recycled song every year just to give people something to dance to on the beach... and yeah that's just not for me, since I never dance to anything~
It's not that... harmful or anything, but it's just repetitive, low-effort music with very blatant advertisement practices and sponsors behind it. You'll find it on the news, TV ads, Youtube ads... so you can't truly escape from it anyways.

Yea right? I don't get why people like it

Country. I have had it forced on me quite a bit through my life since people down here for some godforsaken reason like it, so it plays everywhere. When I had to listen to it at my former workplace, it would stifle my productivity. It was either really irritating, or depressing. I'm one who listens to a lot of depressing music, but Country can be a very special type of depressing in that it actually effects my mood.

I like some genres surrounding country - 70s country rock, country folk, bluegrass. But man, country itself is dreadful.

 

[Zeostar]

The recent trend of combining Country and Rap. I don't think there's a single 'country rap' song I've enjoyed.

 

[The Foogle]

I HATE Country with every fiber of my being. It's ALL THE SAME, always talking about a girl, romance, a truck, the road, south stuff, etc. AND THE DUPLICATE SONGS THEY PLAY ON THE RADIOS. I'd rather go to a boy band concert than listen to Country!

 

[KalloFox34]

Rap, with country as a close second. Contemporary pop music is also a genre I really hate.

 

[RadEmpoleon]

I'm not a big fan of American pop (I guess that's the genre?) 2010's and onward or rap/hip-hop. It seems that most people like to listen to that, but I just never really found it appealing. Of course there are some exceptions every now and then, but overall I don't enjoy "popular" music.

Oh, and country. Not a fan of country either.

 

[TwilightBlade]

I attended a wedding where the DJ literally played country music the entire time. All of the songs just blurred together... Couldn't tell you what the first dance, parents dance songs, etc were. All of the songs sounded the same. I will listen to the country radio station during work commute if I need background noise, but the variety is so lacking. Rap music is a close second, but because of the explicit lyrics, not so much the beat.

 

[Cosmega]

Wow, everybody here seems to hate country lol

 

[Sweet Serenity]

I was never a fan of any type of Rock music, especially Metal. It doesn't really seem to have much rhythm to it, just a bunch of loud noise and screaming.

 

[soulzzii]

Probably Brazilian funk.

being honest, i think i prefer the undergroud funk artists than a lot of the mainstream ones, people like mu450, ramemes, the guys from weird baile, chill baile and hyperfunk are more enjoyable to me because of the experimentation of rhythms they make.
while were on here, i guess i would say sertenajo universatario, i think there is like one musician from the genre that i liked, but often times the lyrics are worse than funk.
brazilian music aside... i guess country? i like all kinds of music, so its difficult to lay down one genre.

 

[The Spectre]

I can't stand pop or country music. the reason being that pop is generally way too upbeat and very obnoxious, country I dislike for the same reason but with the addition of ridiculous themes.
(Granted anybody who knows me a tiny bit already knows this.)

 

[Sweet Serenity]

A lot of people seem to hate country music, but to me, it's not that bad really. I like the rhythm that a lot of these songs have.

 

[Arcaneum]

It kinda depends, I can definitely understand the sentiment of how some of the more 'standard' Country tunes generally revolve around the same sort of theme... however a lot of genres do that. Power Metal for example is a wonderfully diverse genre in terms of content, but you will mostly see the same sort of things present - high fantasy, war, 'epic' and the such.

That said, the newer blend of Country + other genres, or even just the newer style of Country really is such a refreshing take on the genre for sure!

Back to the topic in hand - Noise music is 100% my least favourite genre. Now there are some things I generally don't like listening to (modern rap for one), however there are defintely still bands and artists I can probably appreciate. Noise music however is just grim. For those that (incorrectly imo) say all metal sounds the same, I recommend listening to some Noise and then realising how diverse the Metal umbrella really is, because this stuff suuuuuuuuuuuuucks.

I am also not very fond of rap, very few exceptions.

I especially don't like it when I find a song that sounds really good for the most part, but then all of a sudden, there's a rap verse in the middle of it. Like... it just throws the whole song off, imo. Why do that? ?-?
