ILX : What is The Genre Of Music You Dislike/Hate Most?

Great thread

Well, of course the last option seems sensible. But on the whole, nu/alt/country has little that gives any hope to me that I'd like it, although it's always possible.

Where in God's name is Smoove Jazz?

On the Fast show thread?

Dance

sigh (but at least you didn't put IDM)

whither grime?

Genre itself.

Hippie.

reggae, easy

Dance

sigh (but at least you didn't put IDM)

Told you I wasn't putting sub-genres. Plus in record shops its labelled as Dance and that's the way it's on this poll.
If I put sub-genres for this then I'd have to for others.
There was NO WAY I was putting Electronica, so Dance it is.

Indie, although opera is the only one that I own none of and spend approximately 0% of my time actually listening to.

All this is ok, for me. "AOR"?

Don't hate. such a cop out choice but i couldn't bring myself to vote for any of the real ones.

I guess I don't hate indie, it's just mostly boring to me and omnipresent.

Voted for "Indie/Alternative" but for similar reasons would have voted for "Minimal Techno" had it been an option

Each genre can always have it's own spin-off poll with each micro-genre as an option. Which I think would be the best way.

Other people can start them obviously as I wont be doing so.

blueski can do the "dance" one.

Voted for "blues."

If push comes to shove, I'm going for the most genre-adhesive genre, the one with littlest scope for expansion and innovation..."blues".

Told you I wasn't putting sub-genres.

AOR
Metal
Progressive Rock
Punk
Post-Punk

But blues elements can work in certain contexts, contexts often comprised from other genres listed here. It disappoints me when you can pigeonhole a band into a particular specific movement.

Progressive Post Punk Metal AOR is not a sub-genre it's a way of life! (tm)

That last boring one.

Judging by the Why is The Genre Of 'Metal' so maligned? thread , Metal might runaway with it.

No point in doing a metal sub genre poll as Nu-Metal would walk it.

Louis, I pretty much agree with you re blues.

reggae, easy

Aw... I was just listening to Desmond Dekker on the way to work today.

I picked opera, for the exact reasons Jordan stated. I own none and don't really see myself, ever, picking any up.

Metal will not run away with this poll. In fact, I'll be astonished if it gets more than 3 votes.

*cue for LZBC jokesters to all vote metal*

Louis did you read that other thread?

And ILX is full of Guardian readers and this is what they have to say
http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/music/2007/12/why_is_metal_still_ignored_by.html

Gah, most of 'em were either trolling, or have somehow moved away from ILX over the past 4 years. As for the Guardian thing, ILX's readers often only post commentisfree articles in order to laff at them. There's a good deal of opprobrium on that comment list, but an equal amount of support.

Maybe I should post on that metal maligned thread.

If push comes to shove, I'm going for the most genre-adhesive genre, the one with littlest scope for expansion and innovation..."blues".

people really need to start digging into the depths of acoustic blues, which is full of bizzare insane variety and goodness, before Stevie Ray Vaughan came around and fucked the whole thing up for a generation.

This being said, and knowing that I'm ignorant of the genre, I voted for reggae for exactly the reason you listed above.

I love how 'Classical' is a 'genre'. Great stuff.

Outo of all these I have to choose metal, not because I actively hate it, but because it has never ever done anything to me. In all the other genres listed there are at least some tunes that I really like.

If you'd put opera, I'd have voted opera - but in its absence, I'm afraid that it has to be metal. My inner unreconstructed 14-year-old crypto-Maoist punk rocker has never quite stopped seeing it as The Enemy, I'm afraid... which is a tad unfair, as I reconciled myself with prog and AOR a long, long time ago.

Opera is on the list.

Maybe I should post on that metal maligned thread.

I don't think I've ever seen you post your thoughts on any metal band ever.

You forgot my number one single most hated genre of all-time: new age! My second most hated is acid jazz which I suppose falls under jazz but jeez - I love soooooo much jazz. Then again, jazz FANS are a nasty sort, ain't they? So maybe I'll go that route

Third most hated genre is filk (not folk) but I've never been sure if a genre boundary really needs to be drawn around it. Folk should be up there though, no?

What is filk?

I don't think I've ever seen you post your thoughts on any metal band ever.

never listen to it, don't know any 00s metal except nu-metal hits, have predictable negative views towards it as many metal fans do towards the stuff i listen to most.

i think there was an OPO metal song thread a while back and i said 'Enter: Sandman'

I just looked it up on wikipedia and wished I hadn't.

More people on here hate Metal than Country?

what's the predictable negative views then? (I suppose that should be on the other thread.

What did you think though when the prodigy started getting lots of metal fans at shows and lots of coverage in Kerrang and the like?

My inner unreconstructed 14-year-old crypto-Maoist punk rocker has never quite stopped seeing it as The Enemy

Similarly, my inner unreconstructed 14-year-old metal fanatic has never quite stopped seeing indie as The Enemy.

And my inner unreconstructed 14-year-old techno-is-the-future dance music fanatic has never quite stopped seeing Anything With Loud Guitars as The Enemy.

ilx is clearly the enemy

Opera is the one thing I have never found anything I like about it.
Nessun Dorma aside. I am surprised at the blues hate though. I wonder how much of the hate for any of these genres is for the type of fans they attract rather than the actual music.

Metal and Indie are kind of sub-divisions of rock, it seems like. Hip-hop is entirely different genre.

^let's keep an eye on this one

Has dom done a ban super subway comedian thread yet?

and the roflz keep comin

x-post

Wow. Hivemind much?

not hivemind, just ilx is predictable

Geirbot will be along soon on the subject of hip-hop and metal.

When I first started hanging around ILM, I was more than a bit intimidated.

This poll's results makes me wonder what I ever was timid about in the first place.

words of wisdom from "peepee"

Guitars? Yeah, not a fan. I'm going to see this guy next week, sits on stage with a fuckin laptop, us kids love that shit.

i think that you will add a much needed voice to this board mr super subway comedian

Unfortunately, it's max r's.

Anything with guitars in it 34
Metal 26
Indie/Alternative 26

lolololololololololol gg

don't forget:
Country 9
Punk 6
Blues 6
rock 6
AOR 5
Post-Punk 5
Progressive Rock 4

A total of 127 anti-guitar votes

I Love MusicI Love Synthesizers and Drum Machines and Laptops None of That Stringed Instrument Shit Plz lolz

Thank you for this.

You gotta commend him for being so quick.

"I don't hate any genres of music. There's something of worth in each one. "

LIAR!

"Johnny and 3 other dudes."

=

Grinningest moment today. Awesome.

makes the whole thing worthwhile

37 people who like some dadrock. Now good :)

heard some Dance music with guitars in it once

0 votes for classical and soul is a strange one. Usually people would complain about modern soul but then this is ILM.

Electronic/Industrial (but not dance stuff) 6
Kraftwerk or NIN haters?

Modern soul isn't called soul unless it's nu-soul.

Then will there be post-soul like what happened with metal/nu-metal?

Mariah Carey with Mogwai as her backing band.

math-soul's my bag

I seem to recall xhuck or Kogan dismissing Destiny's Child as "math-r&b".

I look forward to Death-Soul

but not grind-soul

Soulcore

goth soul

emo-soul

Xtian-Emo-Soul

Glad to see that Metal still tops this list!

Too drunk to be silent, can't stay on his feet
With a horrible language he crawls down the street
A pleasant condition, can't hold down the food
Fistful of vomits, he's now in the mood
When he starts tumbling and drops to the floor
It's the sign he awaits, he's got to drink more
Insulting the shorthaired, his arm starts to twist
Their nose bones receives the speed of the fist
He's dirty...he's alone...he's metal to the bone
HARDROCKER
The most incedent back at school, he always skipped the class
Told his teacher to fuck off and stick it up her ass
He'll never fit into the crowd, he'll never lose his pride
He won't allow no shorthaired heads, he would rather die
Shortcut hair in sight, no words are needed to start the fight
All discondance must end in broken bones
Enough to get him pissed, count the teeth you soon shall miss
Footprints in your swollen face shows the way it must be done
Criminaly tough and hard, headbanging where we lie
Whiplash-damage, aching neck, still banging till we die
We'll stand together to the end, ain't ever wimping out
We live and die the metal way, loud is all that counts

Let's ask Lemmy what he thinks

So what's the hot nu-goth-soul band of the moment then?

Shakey, have you calmed down yet? ;)

still makes me laugh

34 ILM'ers hate all genres apart from synthpop and electronica.

(And most classical)

And barbershop quartets

And that thing Hank Marvin did with, like, 20 bassists

and they love Lightning Bolt

The Ghost Of Dave Penis (Big Or Small)

34 ILM'ers were being completely honest and not facetious at all.

I think you're wrong Rev. 34 people read a PEW thread and voted accordingly.

Electronic!!!! It’s so weird and creepy!!!! Some EMO’S are acceptable like FallOutBoy and Killswitch Engage. I think I hate Electronic because it never has lyrics and whenever it does the people sound like robots. I used to like Michael Jackson music but I found out his was gay. LOL. I like rap a lot but I like rock more. I don’t criticize anybody for liking their kind of music though. I criticize people who are SUPER Hannah Montana fans and their older than 18 and I criticize people who like Electronic cuz it’s scary. Some Hannah songs are acceptable. I know less than 5 songs are cool. If you like Kingdom Hearts’ beggining songs you are awesome.

I like all types of music, but I would have to say "techno music" ewwwww. I’m not talking about a mix of pop and techno, its the extreme kind of techno in those gay drug filled clubs. I just hate the people who listen to it religiously: they don’t take showers, they admire those who do the hardcore drugs, and the way they dance is so annoying. They flop around like a fish out of water, while screaming " ECSTASY" at some dumb rave. WHAT A BUNCH OF DUMBASS’S!!!
