Whats the worst kind of music.. that you just cant stand!

[azzaman333]

Nice display of familiarity. Akon is a singer not a rapper.

He said hip-hop, not rap. Please learn to read, thankyou.

 

[Hygro]

And he said mainly he hates it because they don't sing. And Akon sings.

 

[aaglo]

So, I must have mixed it with someone else.

 

[Heretic_Cata]

E-TYPE!!!!!!!

I like that.

Rap isn't music? Since when?

Sure, many people don't think it is 'good' music, but since when have they been the ultimate opinion above all others?

I listen to a bit of free jazz, and other experimental music. It doesn't have a beat, it doesn't have a melody, its just sounds placed over time to some creative effect. I can call it music if I perceive it to be, and you can call it junk if you want to.

I don't see why we're getting all offensive/defensive here.

I voted Rap, but I ought to clarify.

Personally, I think as a style, Hip Hop (get with the times lads, nobody calls it 'rap' anymore) has massive potential to be a great style of music. Unfortunately, so far it has been a chronic underacheiver.

I've heard a few hip hop songs I like, but it seems to me that the vast majority of it is little more than a continuous recycling of the same old cliches and lingo. I know I'll soon see a massive response that well every genre is like that, but hip hop is by far the biggest offender, except for one other which I will get to in a moment.

I'm a little more moved when it comes with a social statement rather than the more common arrogant wanker bragging about himself, but even then, some new themes other than life in the 'hood' would make a refreshing change.

Now for the other type of music I hate, which is "grunge" and all of its white boy whiner rock offshoots. Here's another genre of recycled cliches, it's not 1993 anymore people, let this rubbish die already!

Isn't it funny that rap/hip-hop/breakdance music/whatever you want to call it was invented by a white pop singer from the 70s?

Can you really claim that a genre of music was invented by a single person? Every form of music is a product of its context, both cultural and musical. The evolution of certain genres of music from harmonically-oriented composition to rhythmically-oriented composition was pretty gradual, and something that no one can claim to have 'invented', as such.

Man, you're a killjoy. I was more or less just teasing rap fans, though it could be argued that Blondie did indeed have the first rap song.

 

[skadistic]

The man from mars was eating cars.......

Did Blondie go mainstream with Rapture before Sugarhill Gang did with Rappers Delight?

 

[Left]

Wiki says Rapper's Delight was released in '79 and was the inspiriation for Rapture, released in '80.

 

[skadistic]

All hail the Mighty Wiki!

 

[bhsup]

Alright, I admit I was only eleven/twelve, so I could be off in my memories.

 

[skadistic]

I'd still say the hotness know as Blondie did brig what was a relitvely unknown into the ears of a much wider audience.

 

[Gingerbread Man]

Man, you're a killjoy.

It's what I'm here for. To ruin everyone's fun!

And I hadn't heard about the Blondie thing. Then again, I don't listen to rap, or Blondie, so I wouldn't have a clue either way.

 

[Phyr_Negator]

Rap for sure

And rock, country, metal and folk, all essentially white music were poached from black people.


BTW, I tend to hate remixes-there are a few that are truly stunning, a certain remix of Barber's Adagio for Strings, for example, but the other day, I heard a remix of Jefferson Airplane's Somebody To Love, and it was awful! Pure sacrilege!

 

[Panda]

Out of those listed, rap got my vote. But you can add hip-hop and all related shite as well.

 

[Mirc]

I think most genres have redeeming factors, even if it's only a single song. I'd be hard pressed to find a genre of which I don't like a song.

You really didn't listen to any "manele" in your life if you say this.

You didn't really watch it did you? Don't even bother responding if your not even going to attempt to look at my point.

It was removed due to copyright infrigement. I wanted to watch it, but I couldn't.
(and yes, I know you weren't talking to me)

Eh, nearly all musical genres contain some stuff of merit. I don't even mind rap anymore after playing GTA: San Andrea.

There's one genre with absolutely nothing to recommend it, however: The Scandinavian dance band. My fellow Scandos know the horrors of which I speak, the rest of you can consider yourselves fortunate.

Dancemusic do you actually know how irritating Sven-ingvars is...

I have to join my fellow Scandinavians in detesting dansband music...

This is a presentation of a dansband album, and seems to be quite represenative of the genre; a mix of country, soft rock and cheesy ballads.
