I don't know what to title this...

[Reply #40 on:]

Suppose to extend my list:
Techno (I can't think of a single good techno song)
Trance (same as above)
99% of all Rap. I've heard a couple good songs, but even those get old real quick.
all Hip-Hop, can't stand it.
R 'n B... Just the same, boring junk.
Kiddy Punk, the kind of Punk that gets played on MTV.
Pop and all its siblings... should be killed.
Mostly whatever is on MTV, I'll hate. 

I also don't care much for most Metal, but that depends. There are good songs, but as with most genres the only popular bands suck and thats what you hear most.

Yeah, reggae sucks.  There's some great music in there somewhere, but it's been ruined by hippies and undergrads.  And street punk is for 16 year olds.  It's abominably bad, lyrically, but it's orders of magnitude better than pop-punk of any sort.  But maybe I'm just bitter about these styles of music because I live in Santa Cruz and I'm surrounded by the worst, most cartoonish offenders in both categories. 

The real good rap is dead.  No more breakers and b-boys.  It's sad.  I was thinking about it watching Luck of the Fryrish on DVD last night.  I want Kurtis Blow back.

Also, I hate hair metal, like Poison, or, say, Bang Tango.  But the real headbanging stuff from the same era is still awesome, and sometimes it's hard to draw the line.  Thrash and speed metal rule too.  I think power metal is amusing, but nu-metal and rap metal, as has been mentioned before, should be punishable by death.

Also, Alanis Morrissette is the worst thing that happened to music in the twentieth century.  Words cannot express any portion of my loathing for her.

Trance.

The "trendy" people in my class insist on playing it in art (which is the only lesson they can get away with it in). It sounds like it belongs in Butlins for god's sake!

• 90% of top 40 (and when I like stuff from the radio, I like it in that "this is fun for a while" way, when you know you'll hate the song by next month")
• I'll probably get crap for this but I really don't enjoy most classic rock. Or all that drug related music like jimi hendrix or that stupid phase the Beatles went through. I'm sorry.

Look, if there's one thing you can do to piss me off, it's to generalize almost everything I listen to with the completely ridiculous label of "screaming music". I was going to go back and edit that post, but I guess it's too late now considering you quoted it.

[Reply #50 on:]

Country music is tolerable if only because it can be damn hilarious. If you don't believe me, get GTA out, and drive the pickup around for a bit.

Hiphop and rap music... well that's not even music. Chart music is where the evil is.

I like my music old and hard, CLASSIC ROCK baby!

Why not? You have to have a good reason for not liking ZZ Top and GNR, even if the rest of the genre disgusts you.

[Reply #53 on:]

I can tolerate most crappy music because I don't have to listen to it but I can't stand Emo because it gets lumped in with all the alt/indie/classic/insane rock that I listen to.

Second!  There was so much good music in my opinion from the era now known as "Classic Rock".  Pink Floyd, ZZ Top, Yes, The Who, early Aerosmith, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Rush, Tom Petty just to name a few.

Do you actually like anything?   

Also I'm annoyed, that is to say fed up with some of the chumps on this forum thinking that most electronic and/or dance music is techno.
Techno is its own genre.

Moving on, I cant stand the pop world of britney spears and chrissy aguilera who to me are really just vocalists and good backing singers stuck into the lime light because everyone loves the adlib they spit out so well, think Destinys child.
But I like music from most genres, although I rarely buy albums; there would probably only be a couple of songs I like on it.
Mind you, I like Nelly furtados new album enough to have it bought for x-mas for me.

Hi! Do you think you could use any MORE curse words? It's helpful when you reply directly to my post because I can go right to the link from the replies box on the front page. It makes it a lot easier to delete your post, alert mArc, ban you, etc.

Please don't do that. I'm allowed to not enjoy a certain type of music.

You must not have read my post before about how I was going to edit it.

But in any case, it wasn't so much what you said, but the way you said it. It has been my experience in trying to seriously discuss music with people that anyone who says "screaming music" has no idea what they're talking about, because a lot of bands scream, whether you can understand the lyrics or not. It's hard to be loud. And "screaming music" encompasses quite a few genres. In any case, yes, the way I worded it was harsh, but really, I can get pissed off pretty easily when I hear those words and I'm not always thinking first.

You know, you're making people who like music with lots of screaming look bad.
I like this music, but don't bother - many people don't, and it's okay. Apparently that's music you either like or not. There's hardly something in the middle.
Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit are not "screaming music" unless you mean that it makes you want to scream, in a bad way. In that case, it is.

Or his uncle is dead. ... Unless he likes kissing dead people and ... no, I won't follow this train of thought any further.

Also, I totally forgot to mention how much I hate techno, trance and similar crap.
Don't get me wrong - I like certain electronic music, but i want this music to be complex, both music- and lyrics-wise. I realize that this is not music you can dance to, so it makes sense that techno and similar stuff is not like that. But that's also the reason why I hate it.
The worst however, is "Schranz". I don't think anybody else here knows what it is. Consider yourself lucky. It's like a faster, harder version of techno, with even less melody and it's even more repetitive. It's rather popular over here despite the fact that it causes irreparable brain damage just by listening to it at normal volume.

Ay Techno aint to bad, try it at a rave or club you never know...  I've never really thought of it as music to sit at home and listen to, drive to for sure but not at home.(Unless I'm mixing.)
As for 'Schranz' I haven't heard of it but saying that its harder and faster then techno makes it sound like Gabba or Gabba hardcore etc.. thats some horrible shite! coming in at around 300Bpms. Nice.

You might be right, techno might be a lot better if you actually dance to it, just like ska. Ska is a lot better if you're drunk and dance ska-pogo... 
But I'm personally not much of a dancer but more of a person who sits down and listens to the same song over and over again with headphones, focussing on different parts of the music, so I guess techno's just not my kind of music.

I know, and I've read it. But I still had to add my 2 50 cents (that way, i'm more gangsta). Also, I was going for some kind of compromise here.
And i saw another opportunity to bash Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit.

I did read it, but the fact remains that you posted it in the first place. Think before you post and then you won't have to edit when people call you on it.

added: i understand that "screaming music" is not a genre, that it spans a lot of genres, and that it probably has a lot of different, professional names that I am ignorant of. I admit this. The fact remains that listening to music which uses a lot of screaming is about as fun (for me, personally) as getting all my teeth pulled out without any drugs. It doesn't appeal to me on any level, but I never said that other people aren't allowed to like it. I didn't curse it out, or rant and rave.

[Reply #67 on:]

Well, the reason I get angry when people call it screaming music is because the vocals seem to be the only thing they focus on. Nobody can just take the music for what it is anymore, it has to have great lyrics and vocals. I don't see what the big deal is, I mean sure, good vocals are a plus but I don't think bad vocals will necessarily detract from a band's sound.

And in the end, isn't that what's really important?

[Reply #69 on:]

In the end, it doesn't really matter...

Anyway, as for "screaming music", I'm not a huge fan, but I do like some of it. Fear Factory for example, some of that stuff floats my boat pretty well.

[Reply #70 on:]

To me, I don't exactly hate certain genres, just various bands and groups that represent them. I usually listen to 'energy music', stuff that gets me moving. So classic rock and country, while ok by me, isn't something I'd listen to on a regular basis. Wow, I'm surprised you hate it too, VF!

I hate uplifting trance, the cheesiest of all cheese music in clubs. And so called UK 'hard house' which ain't hard nor housey at all. Phychedelic trance is more up my alley, it's darker and most DJs are afraid to play it in clubs. Gabba hardcore's all right, as long as it doesn't exceed the 200bpm line.

I don't hate hip-hop, but I hate the artists that are a disgrace to hip-hop. If you do hate hip-hop, chances are you're only watching the spoon-fed crap that MTV likes to give out. "Why is it that every rapper wants to be a M@^$%#^F*$% pimp these days?" You're not looking in the right places then.

To the best of my knowledge Gabba regulary exceeds the 200bpm mark and then some!     I've heard cd's reaching 300bpm. Isn't loftgroover part of the scene?
