I guessing a lot of us middle aged white guys will say rap or hip hop.....

but beyond that, the one sub genre of music I always hated was that hippie music that came out in the 60's...... Mamas and Papas, The Turtles, Greatful Dead......
 
Not sure what you would call it, to me its "stoner" because you have to be high to tolerate it.

Iron Butterfly, In a Gadda Divida
Some of the weird Doors

Stuff like that......

Psychadellic stoner tunes?? I Dunno

Agreed. The newer Country that's on radio isn't really Country at all. Much of it is spaghetti ballads. :(

When the pedal steel guitar is used as a lead instrument again, I'll call it Country. ;)

Do you really HATE this music, or do you maybe just not understand it, and therefore THINK you hate it?

I admit, I dont understand the allure of the speed metal or death meatal, but I do not hate it.

Do I listen to it in my free time? No.

Do I have it in my music collection and try to stay familiar with the bands and songs? Yes.
 
The only one of those genres that I kept in my music library was the gangsta rap, provided a clean version was supplied by RPM.

If a clean version was not available, I did not play the song. Period. And I even exercised discretion when choosing to play edited songs.

As for the other stuff, yeah, I understand it and I am quite sure I hate it. It's garbage, no matter how much discs it may sell or however many concerts it spawns. Suck city.

(I) ain't gonna play suck city. (I ain't gonna play suck city.) Some anti-apartheid Little Steven there, aka Silvio Dante on The Sopranos, he who wacked Adriana. :sqeek:
 
While there are certain artists and songs from most every era I can't stand, a few result in a quicker "change the dial" response.

60's "psyco" Doors, Hendrix.

Todays rap crap. (gangsta stuff, not the true "old school" run dmc, sugar hill gang)

I also can't stand the "grunge" type of rock. (I think that's what it's called). Yelling into a microphone is not what I consider music in the least.

Fred, ya gotta listen to more Brad Paisley, the guy is cool -- reminds me alot of Roy Clark :sqbiggrin:


BTW, I don't hate any genres, I just choose not to listen to some. Rap/hip-hop, is not my culture.

More power to those who's culture it falls into (just turn the damn bass down when you drive by my house). If not, remember, I have a high roof, lots of watts, and a good version of Sweet Home Alabama :sqwink:

Turn it up.
 
(opinion)...

Today's "new country" is nothing more than 80's rock with a twang.

Heck, Bon Jovi is crossover??? Go figure.
 
Hip hop/rap, death metal, screamo, old time country (sorry Fred), late 60's/early 70's rock (anything except the Beattles), anything heavier than Metallica (cant stand Mudvayne/System of A Down type stuff), Emo
 
Insight On "New" Country Perhaps

I think that the situation of "New" Country is similar to that of what so many people call "Reggae" nowadays.

Just like Reggae, Country has been watered down to appeal more to the masses.

I don't know all that much about Country, so I shall explain by using Reggae as an example.

Why do so many people (particularly in the USA) like Reggae? Because somebody took Bob Marley, overproduced him, and added more guitars and such, so that he would appeal to a wider audience.

Bob Marley is Reggae.

Burro Banton is Reggae.

People love Bob Marley.

Burro Banton?

Something is wrong when somebody requests "Reggae" and then, after you play Reggae, that person comes back and then says, "Could you just play Bob Marley?"

Something is wrong when somebody asks, "Could you play Black Eyed Peas and Shania Twain?"

Now I'm inspired, but I shall stop after one more example...okay...two.

Look at "Punk Rock" today. "Ya, I'm in a punk rock band but my other job is in the IT industry. I studied music in high school."

Not Punk.

Something was very very wrong as soon as music awards were first handed out for "Best Alternative Band". Well, they just aren't "alternative" anymore, are they?

It's all POP...many people do not understand the POP is short for POPULAR music.

Shania Twain. Shaggy. Green Day. 50 Pesos. POP.

Iggy Pop. A walking contradiction.

Music doesn't need to be understood. It needs to be listened to.

I've listened to the aforementioned cRap which is termed "music," and I HATE it. Got a problem with that?
 
I am ssssooo tired of being told I don't "understand" rap. Well, let's see, all the girls are whores, the guys are drug dealing, gun totting thugs who do anything that moves and it requires no musical ability at all to do. Oh wait, I guess I do understand it!
 
Multiple thanks on that one, Patrick!

One correction: all the girls are bitches, not whores... ;)
