Er, the majority of people who don't litsen to hip-hop seem to be under the delusion that it's about the Rapping, and that the beats are unimaginative, unoriginal trivialities used as a background. Quite to the contrary, the essence of Hip-Hop lies in the beats (just like the essence of Dancehall lies in the Riddims), and the Rapper is merely there to bring it all together, to provide texture and song structure, and cool snippets of lyrics. If you'd litsen to what's going on in the background, you'd realise that modern Hip-Hop is at the very forefront of almost avatgardistic electronica. Who needs The Avalanches when you've got Jay-Z doing the same sort of sampling perfection much better? What electronica can even begin to compete in the exotic minimalism stakes with a well-produced Timbaland track?

1) rap
2) techno, especially german 'happy hardcore'. also, scooter is probably the worst band (?) ever
3) sum41
4) lenny kravitz (boring git)
5) quasi-soul (craig david, r kelly, etc)
6) popsicles (britney, christina, boybands)
7) euro-trash german pop (black man raps, slim lady howls, repeat three times)
8) j lo

all this said, you are lucky you never heard serbian turbo-folk. although it might be interesting to you, kind of over the top extravaganza...

I hate pop, country, pseudo-R&B (the popular sh!t like ****gy, Jagged Edge, R. Kelly, Joe).

I dislike hip-hop that caters to the stereotypical G. I agree it isn't as cultured or full of meaning like other music, but some rap is clever and fun to listen to. I can stand listening to Eminem; most of the rap I like is older, like TuPac, Bone Thugs, Ice Cube, etc. I like some techno, but its got to be more than just thumpthumpthumpthump. I like techno with melody; Paul Okenfeld.

I mostly listen to rock and metal. I like it when bands that are real heavy and dark do a song with meaning. Flaw, System of a Down, Drowning Pool, Nirvana, MudVayne are some of the bands I'm listening to now.

I also like classical, but I really enjoy listening to old Russian Patriotic Operas.

The type of music where the "performers" are not really singing, but just screaming and yelling.

In other words -- heavy metal, and hard rock n roll.
How can anyone call those types, music anyway??

That'll be what I hate the most too...Though on the other hand, I guess opera is also #1 on my hate list of "music genres"...

Agreed totally from the word Radiohead onwards.

Anyway, I don't dislike any genre totally. I dislike bad music. The genre with the highest concentration of bad music is probably nu-metal.

MrFun, don't you realise the power of a good scream?

In general, I hate the over-use of "genres" because they can never replace the personal experience of listening to music and determining if it is good or bad (as we know, these two genres are the only "genres" in existence)

However, I have detected during my musical experimentation that the largest percentage of music I have not liked is categorized to these "genres" by other people:

I. Teenage idol singers carefully crafted by the Huge Evil Music Industry
II. About everything that includes rhytmic poetry (combined with lyrics of the highly idiotical level)
III. Everything the Finnish mainstream radio stations play twelve times an hour. Yes, twelve times.
IV. Most of this so-called dance music that consists of lame effects and bass levels so high that you can destroy cheap computer speakers using it.
V. The utterly evil phenomena called nu-metal.

And Snapcase, 70's progressive rock (or art rock, symphonic rock, whatever it is called) is not crap (with the exeptions of ELP and Yes, which I have never liked for some reason)! My avatar is watching you!

Any music that has synchronized dance moves in the music video. Well of course besides Michael Jackson, that mofo could dance.

Nothing more fruity than a bunch of grown men jumping around in synch with each other like a bunch of ballerina fairies.

Oh, and speaking of dancing, Britney Spears has no dancing talent. She shouldnt even try. She should just push her skirt up a little more. Being slutty looking and pandering to dirty old men in her school girl outfit is all she got going for her.

Yes, but he said:

Ballet dancing is a tremendously difficult art, and to have it dismissed as such, or even equated with N'Sync-style dancing, is offensive.

I'm not a big ballet fan, but I respect the skills behind it (and when very well-done, can be breathtaking, like in The Rite of Spring).
