Music That Is Incomprehensibly Bad To You

Post-hardcore.

I totally hate it, and I can appreciate just about everything.

My neighbor plays in one of those bands. He's a great guy and a talented guitar player. They have a quality singer too, they are a talented bunch, but their music is simply godawful.

They also complain they can't get a steady amount of gigs, which made me laugh. I told them they should do Nirvana/Metallica/RHCP covers and be booked all year round.
 
It's pretty cliche but Bieber's music is truly awful. I had never heard it cause he never really gets radio play, but I figured it would just be forgettable fluff pop. It's so much worse than that. The combination of those lyrics with his voice are just atrocious.

Also cannot stand Cheryl Loyd's voice. Her songs are catchy but her voice is too grating.

Why does it need a deal? I think he's technically proficient, visionary even, creating mathematically complex music that's boring as fuck


What's the deal with people hating Animal Collective though, I mean seriously.

Pretty much.

I never saw the appeal of them at all (most of the stuff I'd heard sounded like sampled pop) and then listened to that album and it's friggin' amazing.

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.

Yeah, couldn't have said it better.
 
EDM or whatever type of electronic music is big at all these festivals in the U.S. all of a sudden. the music sucks, the DJ's sucks, and the fake hippy suburbanite crowds are the worst. saw a lot of this trash at Lollapalooza this past month, it was annoying.
 
Not sure if I posted in here before... but KPOP.

It sucks, absolutely sucks.

The groups are annoying as hell, the fans are the absolute worst out of all fanbases that exist on Earth (OK, baring any terrorist ones), the managers are either incompetent or involving with sleeping with one of the artists (if that suicide note is anything to go by), the over sexualization in the music videos is off the charts!

Also the girls all look the same (Plastic Surgery, but that's a cultural thing, not really K-POP specific).

Each genre has at least some good music - k-pop got none. nada. zero. zilch.

I could find National Anthems that sound more interesting. Heck, I'll go that far and say Beatboxing sounds better - yes, I went there.

I dare anyone that can find a music genre worse than this - protip you can't.

Wow! To me playing Bach can feel like pulling fire from the sky.

You still feel this about the sarabandes from the various instrumental suites? To me these works are some of the most affecting I've ever heard.

Well you've definitely covered every cliché in the book
 
Just remembered going to see a coworker play and the band that opened had a song where the whole thing was a banshee scream "YOU MIGHT BE, A HERETIC IF..."

Was like some kind of death metal teen Jeff Foxworthy.
 
I pretty much like all genres of music, and can even tune out the top 40 and pop country my wife likes.

But one subgenre or whatever that I never liked but a lot of people my age were into in college were all those bands that cited Pinkerton as a big influence. Jimmy Eat World, Saves the Day, Brand New, etc. I couldn't stand it.
 
Lil B's entire catalog is a steaming pile of garbage. He also has a legion of followers who've been fooled into thinking that their in on the joke.
 
I understand if you don't like rap, but people that attack it and say "almost all of it is stolen" are ridiculous. Yes, there are samples used in beats (which is the producer's doing, who is usually not the rapper), but there is sampling in every genre, and most have people behind the scenes either selling their ideas or lyrics to the more well known artists that you enjoy. It happens everywhere.

It's weird because there are a ton of pop songs with samples that play all the time on the air. There was that one that had a sample from "Take on Me" that was crazy popular.

Sampling is really everywhere.

My dad loves Mumford and sons. I used to enjoy them, until I once went on an 8 hour road trip with him and the only discs were their songs.

So many banjos, ugh.
 
This thread seems to have turned from "music that you can't believe people like" to "music you don't like."

While I am not a fan of most top 40 pop, modern country-pop etc, it is not hard at all to see why people like this music. It is catchy and accessible. Whether it is overproduced, inauthentic, or "bad" is irrelevant to the original thread discussion.

If I had to pick music that I cannot comprehend how people like it, it would probably be the extreme noise stuff, like Merzbow or something. I guess I can appreciate the technicality and creativity used to make those crazy sounds, but it just sounds like nails on an electronic chalkboard to me.

I have been getting into more noise-ambient stuff like Tim Hecker lately, so maybe one day I will be able to get enjoyment from Merzbow.

The thing that really bugs me is the endless sub-genres made by people desperate to stand out or seem different then the other 300 bands doing the same thing as them.

Categorising yourself shouldn't matter.

Formalism (or maybe I should say 'formalization') has a certain draw. If you like particular elements that may be present or repeated in various ways, it's fair to want to have a vocabulary so that you can seek out more of it or have words to describe the 'quality' that it has, the latter seems important even in the most general sense because even if you're really broad-minded in your appreciation for music you still need some sort of vocabulary, even if you don't recognize genre as being particularly meaningful categorization in terms of how you consume music or whatever.

But obviously music that abides strongly to genre often seems uninspired, even within a given genre, it seems like those 'venerables' that get mentioned as the big names in their respective genres also have a uniqueness that makes them difficult to classify, or that even trying feels somehow disrespectful to the integrity of their work. Yet at the same time you can see how the genre fits. It's like half illusion, you can see it and use it as a valuable frame of reference, at the very same time that you see its incompleteness or falseness. At least it seems that way to me.
