Do certain genres of music make you feel uncomfortable?

[RedRalph]

Beyond the fact that you just don't like them. Is there any type of music that makes you feel uneasy? Please do not move this to A&C, it's not a discussion of those.

I don't like it when people play that thumping stuff out their car windows. It makes me uncomfortable because I have real sensitive hearing and it actually is painful if its close enough.

 

[RedRalph]

I'll be honest, snap & pop bass playing has all sorts of connotations and political vibes that makes me feel unwelcome anywhere it's played.

 

[Ajidica]

Not really. I tend to have a less then charitable opinion about gangsta-rap and some of the creepier forms of death metal but they don't make me 'uneasy'. The only times I get 'uneasy' when listening to music is when I intentionaly listen to some specific songs, such as Berlioz's finale to Faust and Listz's Hungarian Rhapsody #5.

Agreed. Especially when it's late at night. Although that's more of just an annoyance for me.

For genres that make me uncomfortable, it's any song that uses foul language and things like that.

 

[RedRalph]

On more than one occasion, early Red Hot Chilli Peppers has made me say "hot damn!", and not in a good way.

 

[Mr. Dictator]

Not really. I only get uneasy when a friend is trying to show me a song they like, and explaining why, and it just doesn't click with me.

Pretty much all music one would classify as "metal" and some country. That's about it. I'm an equal-opportunity listener otherwise.

 

[Skwink]

Heavy Metal makes me feel weird. Country annoys the heck out of me.

 

[NickyJ]

I am also uncomfortable with rock. It's too loud for my refined tastes. (Opera lover speaking here. )

Country annoys the heck out of me.

Same for me for the most part. Johnny Cash is an exception though.

 

[Lillefix]

Christian rock. Not psalms(there are many good ones), but overly Christian rock. It's the only kind of music I can think of that makes me feel uncomfortable if I just sat listening to it alone in front of a computer.

There are many forms of music I don't like, but few that makes me feel "uncomfortable" or "uneasy".

 

[Boundless]

Not really, only if I'm dragged to a gig where I don't know/like any of the music...

 

[Save_Ferris]

Country. Some types of music, like rap and opera, I don't like to listen to but I will if I don't have a choice. Country is unbearable.

 

[EnglishCrusader]

Hmm... let me see, pop, rap, classical, country, dance, pretty much anything other than rock/metal (apart from the monotonous death metal that I sometimes hear).

I don't like it when people play that thumping stuff out their car windows. It makes me uncomfortable because I have real sensitive hearing and it actually is painful if its close enough.

Especially this.

 

[Thoughtful Thug]

Country Music and Christian Rap.

 

[Traitorfish]

Flute and drum bands, I guess? In Scotland they're tied very strongly to the whole religious sectarianism thing, so they have connotations of "bloody idiots stirring up a fuss" for me.

For genres that make me uncomfortable, it's any song that uses foul language and things like that.

Not really a genre...

 

[Shekwan]

Most of the time its disturbing to listen to the lyrics of popular hip hop music.

Nicky J, you need to sort yourself out. There is absolutely no reason why certain words said without context should make anyone uncomfortable.

 

[Cutlass]

I find a lot of Country music unbearably depressing.

 

[Lord of Elves]

Various heavy metal songs/groups seem to carry a conspiracy theorist vibe or are just plain creepy... Most country music is unbearable, but for different reasons.

 

[tycoonist]

I like pretty much all genres, given the right song and artist, so I'd have to say no.
