Oh, if we're into posting artists as well as genres now: U2.

Seriously, America gets the scene in The Big Lebowski where they get a big "I hate the fucking Eagles!" moment. I need that over here in the U.K.
 
Mainstream country, it follows the same formula of mentioning either a pick-up truck, red solo cup, dirt road, tail gate. It has to mention one of those before the chorus and if it puts all of those in there, it'll be #1

It's not my favourite (melodic DM is another matter), but the thing about extreme metal is that you need to listen to a lot of it before you hear anything but just noise. It's like trying to appreciate hard liquor, initially everything tastes like shit and you can't imagine why someone would shell out for the expensive stuff. There's also a lot of really shit extreme metal.

For me it's The Yoshi Clan from Yoshi's New Island, one I know a lot of you are familiar with. This one is extra painful, as it comes from a game series that has produced some amazing music..

It's incomprehensible to me how someone could fail to understand that this tune was written to be "intentionally bad" in a way that's meant to be weird and cute. That said, the composer seems to have failed in that effort anyway.

I feel this way about Cradle of Filth and most metal where the lead vocalist just tries their hardest to sound like some cheesy parody of a monster/undead/demon from a low-budget film. I don't understand how people get so into it without just bursting out laughing at how ridiculous it is.
 
I’ll echo the modern country sentiment. It actually makes me angry that people who like it don’t realize they’re actually listening to unimaginably bad pop music with a check list of trigger words. They hear the words God, tires, shotgun, mud, farm, porch, truck, etc etc and so they think they’re listening to country. There is absolutely no art there, no creativity or soul whatsoever. They’re being pandered to and insulted with every song and they eat it up. Its not music they want. They want an image they identify with and don't give a fuck how its delivered.
 
In fact, scratch that last response. I'm not pretentious eough to shit on someone elses music tastes based on a narrow minded stereotypical view.

As a lover of hard liquor, I like this analogy a whole lot. However,some people just don't like hard liquor regardless. It is the same for me and Metal.
 
I have threatened to smash a buddies stereo in his car if he didn't turn from the local rock/metal station immediately. Just utter garbage these days.

Also, Jazz. I cannot for the life of me really get into it.

Funny you should mention them, since their lead singer actually has an awesome singing voice when he isn't trying to sound like a fucking cunt punched banshee. They are like the ultimate example of a great band, with a terrible lead singer.

I get that, but as you said he missed the mark on that as well. Unless the intention of the composer was for it to annoy the player, it's a failure for me. Then again, that game has a few decent tracks, so I don't mean to say he's the worst composer ever or anything.

Haha! I have a buddy from the UK that has pretty much said this exactly.

People complaining about dubstep apparently haven't heard of Speedcore.
Click to expand...

Yeah, speedcore is some bullshit. Everything I've heard of it is just "oh look i downloaded a cracked version of FL studio and i can play samples really fast"

If there's any speedcore song that is different, give me a link, i'm always open minded when it comes to music. But what I've heard of it doesn't classify as such, it's just someone lining up the same sample a few thousand times in a row in Cubase or FL Studio or whatever you DAW of choice is.

Noise stuff. I have friends who are into such music. I try to keep an open mind about music, while I don't like a lot of stuff I can see, for the most part, what appeal some genres have. But noise is just noise to me.




Well, thinking about it some more, I even get why people like noise.

It makes more sense after seeing a live noise performance. I could never sit there and listen to it on my ipod. But if you're in the right mood, there's something cathartic about seeing a dude scream into a mic with static fucked up noise for 30 minutes straight.
 
There's a lot of music I don't like. But for this...

Death Grips. Utter trash. I listen to a lot of hardcore/punk/metal, but I can enjoy the odd hip hop artist or two. But Death Grips is just plain bad.

Also, as a fan of the current hardcore/metalcore scene, I have to say I strongly dislike the whole up and coming band that sounds exactly like every past up and coming band. The generic bands are driving me out of it.

Modern "hip hop" pop music. Lil Jon etc.

So so bad.

"Modern."

You do realize Lil Jon's peak was in the early 2000s? We're talking more than a generation ago with stuff from Nelly, Master P, Juvenile/Hot Boys, Nappy Roots, Mannie Fresh/Birdman, etc.

This is stuff literally from right after the 90s ended. We're in 2014. You're ridiculous.

To be honest, he's had a bit of a resurgence this year with Turn Down For What and Bend Ova.
 
Gabba.

Any Metal where the guy sounds like he's singing Phantom of the Opera featuring the cast of Lord of the Rings. Way too cheesy for me; and I don't mind a bit of cheese, just not when it's taking itself seriously.
 
Crunkcore, hands down. I can appreciate literally everything else, but there's nothing I've heard from this microgenre that isn't straight up trash.

Venetian Snares did a joint album with Speedranch that borders on speedcore. It's still really intense and abrasive but I think it's executed very well.

Also, damn there's a lot of people that are ignorant about dubstep in this thread.

Anything modern techno-pop top 40. Katy Perry, Pitbull, Bieber, etc. Every song is the same 4 chords, or pulls from maybe 5 or 6 musical concepts. Great for concerts when all you do is dance, but actually putting it on a device to listen to doesn't make any sense to me unless it helps you work out or something. Actually listening to the music makes no sense to me, when it's the same ideas over and over again. I try extremely hard to just enjoy the mood of it, but I cannot.
Click to expand...

Yeah, this. It always baffles me when people just enjoy the newest pop stars that are shovel-fed to them by producers and music label execs. "I like music you can dance to". If that is really all that constitutes good music, I feel sorry for you.
 
It's ignorant of me, but I cannot stand modern country music. The old stuff I like, but holy hell at these new people.

Like, all the modern mainstream country I've heard follows one of the 2 same exact formulas:

"hey hey hey I'm country yeeaaaaaaah sippin on beer look at my truck, dirt road yeah"

or

"my wife left me, maybe i shouldn't have beat her, now i'm sad"

With a few lines about Jesus in there somewhere. Maybe I'm just not hearing the right artists, idk.
 
For game music, I'm pretty dumbfounded by how no one ever calls out the clearly out of tune instruments in the first batch of SNES Street Fighter 2 ports. I don't think it even takes a particularly trained ear to notice that.
 
What the fuck is this even? I can understand if you were, say, learning to play an instrument and this came out and you said to yourself "Oh wow! I made a chain of notes that wasn't entirely random!" But to be a fully grown adult with years of practice and learning under your belt, go into a studio, hit record and say "this is music! I like this and want other people to hear it!" is not sane, rational thinking. The fact that four musicians, a producer, and god knows how many suits all said "let's publish this" is amazing to me.
