the worst style of music?
 

what do you think is the worst style/genre/sub-genre of music?

my choices:

1. funky house
2. happy hardcore
3. gabba
4. mainstream indie
5. dark ambient

Agree totally on funky house - yeech!

jumpstyle.

end of story.

(for those of you who dont know it, its like techno, but it has all these folish melodies and chavs dance to it with passion.


also, serbian turbo folk. whenever i hear something thats in the genre i just laugh. the lyrics are maazing though.

in no particular order since they all suck so much

house
techno
dance
rave
electronica

I will use the larger size type for this, which is rarely called for.
Here it comes.

ZYDECO

Chill Out (I think this is only used on mainland Europe, but I've seen cds with that tag on it in Britain too)
Glitchcore
Opera
Nu-Rave
New Wave Of New Wave

The list could fill three pages or more.

1. Modern Pop-Country
2. Punk you'd find on the Warped Tour
3. Bling Rap (has died down some)
4. whatever remains of Nu-Metal
5. Dentist office smooth jazz

Hey! There's pretty good things in House, techno and especially ELECTRONICA. Oh well that's your point of view.

I'd go with:

Pop/Punk
Neo metal
The Mars Volta
R&B
Heavy Metal

Cue Glice to defend Happy Hardcore, even though we all know it can't be done.

my second post only has one little thing:


MTV.

end of story^

Dont like slating a whole genre, but Funky House = So fucking terrible at what its supposed to do; make you dance. If youre gonna insist on repitition at least do the same kind of repitition each time.

that stupid dance shit is so completely disposable anyway. what's the point?

New Grave
Talking of House music, PROGRESSIVE HOUSE (What's that all about?)
Electroclash (Wouldn't Synth Pop or simply Electro do?)
Handbag House (It's very much Happy Hardcore , but with a different name)
Crossover Metal

Oi.
Ska.
Any combination of the two.
Ringtones. (Sure, it's a genre).
Muzak.
Any house/dance/rave/shit like that... Fuck it all. I don't want to hear "boom ch bah ch boom ch bah ch" all day long, dude. Or at all.
Radio/video rap.

I'm forgetting something...

Ah. Man. That fucking techno/dance/(progressive/acid) house/(happy) hardcore/gabba shit that's regurgitated out.

The stuff that sounds the same and shares the same structure with a few different notes thrown together: a madly deranged chipmunk begs in a sing-song voice for mercy as a merciless fellow man turns on the washing machine that the chipmunk's trapped inside, and they yell in vain as it chugs along while some retarded man in a bobble hat and oversized fleece hits his fists aimlessly against a few keyboards. As far as I'm concerned, no-one likes that stuff. If one of these hack artists released a limited vinyl print at 40£, none of their "fans" would get it, as they only listen to it to fit in, and aren't bothered about paying more than 13£ an album to do so. Clueless polo shirt wearers who see life through the eyes of an ADD-suffering grasshopper.

Any style Helmut Lotti has contaminated throughout his carreer

(edit) also, so called "jock rock"

yeah, electroclash, especially the stuff i hear around these days
english chart-pop music for the last 30 years
loop-station one man psych/noise/folk stuff (apart from fursaxa & alexander tucker)
fx pedal noise groups

1. English "Indie" - Pretty much everything from Britpop onwards, but especially the current Arctic Monkeys / Kaiser Chiefs type stuff. An excuse for drunken student boys to get on the dance floor and have a cuddle.

2. The kind of thing that goes boomboomboom out of the back of a pimped up hatchback full of wannabe gangstas.

"Chanson française néo-réaliste" (French singers like Vincent Delerm or Jeanne Cherhal). They're terrible.

Even Mozart and Wagner ? :confused:

much like these chicks, this thread seems to be burnt out with the whole rave scene.

More like burnt out with superflous words used to describe either the same thing or the adding of one more bleep to create nothing new.

bleep bleep thump bleep blooop thump

these chicks is too drunk to fuck

Those are classical musicians. Don't get me wrong, I know very well the importance that Opera has in music and all that, but I can't stomach it. It's only a matter of taste, I'm not denying its importance, because that would be foolish at best.

Hippie jam band drum circle music is pretty bad.

pop punk
emo
middle of the road fall asleep at the wheel indie ala travis, coldplay etc

1. Mainstream country (I specify "mainstream" because there are several alternative-country bands I like, e.g. Wilco, Old 97's, Son Volt, Drive-By Truckers)

2. Techno. Oh dear god I loathe techno with every fiber of my being.

3. Rap/R&B (although I do enjoy the Beastie Boys and Sage Francis).

4. Heavy metal (the kind where they just scream. My brother likes that kind of music and it drives me crazy).

5. Easy-listening, e.g. Yanni, John Denver, Enya

6. Teenybopper pop, e.g. Britney, Christina, N'Sync

Dude above me, I'm sorry to say, but Tegan + Sara means yr in no position to judge!

I rememberd some... reggae/reggae tone/whatever you want to call it... Fuck it all sounds the same.

modern "R&B"... just lame. People like "George," "Masari," "Sean Desmon..." "T-Pain"... Someone please shoot these assholes.

I fucking rememebred, then forgot again, the other major one...

apparantly neither are you...

1. I'm a girl.

2. So... wait. If I like SY then I can't like Tegan & Sara? WTF? I like a lot of bands.

3. Judge what, exactly?

Christian Rock.

The end.

Totally agree new made for radio american idol country pop - HAS to rank near the top of SICKEST. As in smelly trash S***.

Christian Rock is NASTY too.

1. I'm very proud of ya. That doesn't changer the fact that I call people "dude," regardless of sex.

2. No, you just shouldn't. It was a joke, at any rate, but they totally suck, maaaaan.

3. Judge everything. Again, it was a joke. So, go ahead and judge.

And SuchFriends (knew it was coming), I dare you to find me one reggae song that doesn't sound exactly like another reggae song.
Here's the template, to my understanding:
Steel drum intro
Guitars commence *chk. chk. chk. chk. chk. for the entire song, sometimews with a bit of delay or reverb.
Organ and/or synth plays a couple chords, swelling always.
etc.
I just find it a terribly boring and predictable genre, I'm not trying to offend.

i could not possibly be more in agreement

your sarcasm is amusing but your ignorance does not seem to be blissful, thats a shame.

I wouldn't say ignorance, seeing as it's a prtty apt description, and I have listened to my fair share of reggae music, enough to pass judgment anyways.
And I'm definitely not blissful, bang on with that one.

Agreed, Where is the sex, and the drugs, and the prostitution, and the devil worshipping. Lame.
