Genres of music you could never get into...

Post by skwiggo » Wed Feb 02, 2011 12:57 am

Everyone must have at least one genre of music they could never ever stand no matter how many tries they have given it. Mine may piss a lot of people off but I've never got DnB. I can stand some old skool amen jungle stuff and the autonomic stuff is good but thats about it.

Whats everyones least favourite genre. People should also post videos to convert non believers haha :D

Never really had whole genres that i can't stand as i can usually find at least one tune i like in any genre... Deal with stuff on a song by song basis, it's the best way

also trance... fuck trance

I still love trance although I don't play it much anymore. It seemed with trance there was 95% shit tunes and 5% amazing tunes which were incredibly hard to find.
For me its been pop music, that donk shit, and indie
seriously hate indie.
so much

Donk is real enough to hate? i just assumed it was one or two songs that got popular and it died.

Whiney singer songwriters like bright eyes and shit like that. Just grating, why would you want to hear someone whinge about their life to music.

What they call "indie" music these days was definitely something i could never get into. I've recorded loads of that style of music as well lol.

I saw 'one of the best' free-jazz bands from London a week ago.

Utterly abysmal. I can handle 'difficult music' and quite like some stuff I've heard under the 'free jazz' banner, but they were so bad and pretentious I couldn't handle it.

Fumbling with their instruments, dropping them deliberately as if to make some sort of statement, playing vuvuzellas and the most idiotic beat-poet I've ever heard. The musings of a 'rAnDaumZ' 14 year old. All of this being played to a room with 10 people in it, all chin-stroking and applauding.

Piss off.

i've found with indie, that large amounts of it is bland unoriginal wank, but there are a few bands who are actually writing decent tunes and pushing their own sound but they get lumped in with the rest because people seem to think everything needs a name and that any band with guitars that isn't metal is clearly indie... pretty dumb really

True, it just seems so dull and lifeless to me.
But I suppose like you said, I obviously haven't found any diamonds in the dirt, only heard the shit on the radio and the stuff my mate sings when he's mullered

ECM and Rune Grammofon release so much stuff that sounds life what you just described, they do release some beautiful stuff as well though.

its definitely become a catch all term for crap non-heavy guitar music in general especially the generic top 40 stuff you hear on radio and that hipster wank that pitchfork salivates over. Some of the the proto-indie from the 80s i enjoy very much though - the smiths, the cure, orange juice, the associates etc.
