After getting my first post closed for irrevalency, (which I'm not bitter about) and the embarrasement there-of, I'm going to play it safe and talk about a subject I know in a forum that it's allowed to be in.
Music.
Now, given that this is a massive board (do I remember correctly that there are over 4 thousand registered members?) I'm not going to pretend that it's possible for me to not duplicate a thread already out there, but I'm not going to slog through the entire backlog yet to find out.
Without a doubt, I have as about a varried music taste as they come. Music comes about as naturally as breathing to me. As does rambling on about nothing, as I'm sure you've noticed.
Now, you're saying, what is this exciting topic that I've had to read three paragraphs to find out?
I'll tell you.
What is the one musical expression you hate more than any other?
While I am generally negatively dispositioned against most rapcore and screamo bands, there are a few of each which I can tolerate. Now, Creed and their legion of knock-offs, which I'll call radio friendly rock, I have yet to find anything that causes a less severe reaction than murder.
You don't have to be as specific as I've been. You can just say "country" or "black metal"... or, seeing how this is not a board geared at music fans, you can say "all music."

I'm going to agree with eggs... new country is terrible. It's like bad pop music, but performed by Southern people... or just people who talk like they are. Older country I'm a fan of, but you'd need to go back around thirty or forty years for something good.
Also bad are: 70's/80's hair bands, high school emo bands, anyone performing rap metal, teen-pop ballads, generic rap songs featuring generic R&B singers, people with a good voice who feel the need to oversing everything, Christian rock, Enya and the like, death metal where the vocals sound like someone is burping into a microphone... I could go on, probably.
..for the record, I think rap/hip-hop is in a hair band state right now. And I think that Nickleback sucks.

I'd personally like to kill the person who labelled Beyoncé, R.Kelly and their ilk, "R&B". To me, R&B is, and always will be, Rhythm & Blues: Sonny Boy Williamson, Howling Wolf, Robert Johnson, John Lee Hooker, BB King, and so on...

And you know that, I cant stand this genre purely because it sounds rubbish and all the singers are nothing more than glorified backing vocalists.  1) R&B - the new kind 2) UK garage or 2-step - trying to be to Britain what HipHop was to America. 3) Commercial dance music and I mean commercial such as Fragma or Sash! and recently Faithless , Ian van Dahl and all the other DJ so and so's churning shit out every other week.

I agree about the whole new R&B thing. 1)UK Garage - They play this crap in the common room all day. How is it music? It's just ... noise! 2) Boy bands. I don't think I have ever liked a boy band (by this I mean buy their albums and stuff). Blue, Westlife, etc are all just clones. Busted recently tried to shake off the boyband image by throwing a TV and a toaster out of the window. I still hate them. 3) Euro Dance music - Say 1990, dance music was a "new thing" then. Now it just sucks ass. It's the same thing over and over again.  |

As a fan of the Blues Brothers, I think it's a crime that this modern stuff be classed "R&B". I don't hate the music, I just don't think it's Rythem&Blues at all. Rap I do like, if the lyrics are clever and interesting, but there's a lot out that isn't. Garage: F'eh. Lots of dance music I don't like. Lots of wannabes in there. But there are a few I really do like. Pop's mostly annoying. But perhaps the worst offender is Boy Band Love Ballads from about 1989 onwards - such pathetic excuses for songs.  |

In all honisty there is good music in all styles. Even drum and base. I just listed some types that have a high percentage of drivel (about 70% I would guess).
(Also hip hop rules (most the time), you foo!) I agree 100% with that post. except about the hip hop.

RnB/Rap/Hiphop - I bloody hate it especially when I go and see my mum and dad, my brother always put Hip Hop and crap on TV and we have to put up with it. That is why I always have arguments over the TV. Even my mum and dad won’t tell him to turn over. I’m not being racist and stuff but why is Hip Hop full of black people. We only got one white rapper and that is Eminem. Pop – you got to hate pop but sometimes you started to like one or two pop songs and that is annoying. BoyBands - They all suck apart from Phixx in which I think that they ok. Why don’t they bring back Take That? ------------------

- MTV's Hip Pop and R n' B- that's not what either of those genres really is. There is a lot of great hip hop around, it just doesn't get any airplay or screentime. Hip hop is not about booty and bikinis. It's not about "bling bling" (a word that should be killed on sight- it shouldn't exist). I am pretty sure hip pop today is all about who's been shot. Seriously, Fitty' Cent, the absolute bottom feeder of creativity, gets all his so-called street-cred becuase he took nine bullets throughout his years. He's 100% devoid of any kind of musical talent. But his videos have hoohoos, so he's gotta be great, right?
- And assembly line pop. The stuff that gets released by Britney, Atomic Kitten, Holly Valance and all boybands. What gives it its appeal? This baffles me endlessly. And the girls scream, weep and swoon whenever they see the boyband casanovas. This is even more of a mystery to me. Because we all know that a guy is a marvelous wonder whenever he has the God.given ability to sing other people's songs while giving every girl in the crowd the eye and pointing his fingers sensually. Which is another thing I don't get- How can you point your fingers sensually? I don't know, but they do it all the time.
- P!nk- she's not a fucking rebel, dammit! She's just fond of showing her teeth in photographs. And alcohol.
And of course there are others. Avril Lavigne has been inexcusably mislabeled. GC should just come out of the closet- "we're a pop-rock-ish band with tuned down guitars". Crazytown should just die. Now.
..and then some.

And I think that Nickleback sucks. i couldn't agree more with this post. let me add everything "punk" that also airs on mtv on a regular basis and also especially nu metal (although that could be what you call rap metal) which, as you can already judge from the name, is the 1337 version of metal, and that's no compliment. and then of course generic pop (and sometimes rock). examples of this genre can be seen by turning on mtv, assuming they're not airing the osbournes: 9821th season or dismissed or other crap like that.

1) Reggae. I absolutely fucking hate it.
2) Death metal with gross out shock lyrics(ie. Cannibal Corpse, Dying Fetus, Skinless, etc.). It shames good metal like Cryptopsy and Starkweather.
3) Forgot this one before: street punk. All those bands like the Casualties, the Virus, Lower Class Brats, and even shit I can somewhat tolerate like A Global Threat and Defiance all have nauseatingly bad lyrics about "being punk" and "rebelling" by wearing demin vests with 500 million studs and spiking your hair with dog shit...and if these guys are as poor as they claim, it's probably because they spent all their money looking fashionable.
PS: Most underground rappers are white. Necro, the guys in Non Phixion, Powerbar Ernie(aka Copywrite), they're white guys. The only underground rap I've heard that isn't white guys I know for sure is Dead Prez. Very intelligent group there.
And I bet there's funk metal out there. I've heard people call Primus funk metal. Primus rocks.
