What genres of music do you dislike, What producers/djs do you find annoying?

[StarOceanHouse]

this is going to get pretty ugly..

stop picking on genres and just fucking LISTEN TO THE MUSIC YOU LIKE NOT WHAT OTHERS BURDEN ON YOU

 

[StarOceanHouse]

^threads like these in this forum don't get ugly. I mean look at the skrillex or deadmau5 threads. I personally think they're kind of fun.

 

[KevinKostner]

All the avant garde shit that doesn't have vocals and lacks a good bassline or melody. Other shit as well.

A short list: deadmau5, all dubstep, sphongle, new deal, disco biscuits, skrillex, the majority of techno.

Poll added.

I don't think there are too many genres that I completely dislike, but there are a few.

Hardstyle/Hardcore/Speedcore/Etc

Just sounds like noise to me. Tends to be dull and formulaic.

Happy Hardcore

I need to be on large amounts of MDMA to enjoy it. Some tracks are not bad though. But it's often a very fine line between good and super cheesy when it comes to HHC.

Grime

UK Ghetto trash

Ghetto Tech

US Ghetto trash

Latin House

Good for hitting on ladies and such, that's about it.

I also dislike lazy ambient - it just sounds boring and uninspired. Formulaic D&B, Dubstep and psytrance are also kinda lame. Did I mention that commercial electro-house sometime reminds me of circus music.

Generally speaking, almost every genre has something to contribute to the world of music, it's just that some genres are just overloaded with uninspired copycats who just play for the masses.

P.S. Let's keep this thread civil guys and girls.

^^pretty much my exact thought, except I have a soft spot for grime

 

[TearItDown]

Can you change it and just make one category for "Bro music"? I'm not too sure what they listen to, but I know it's awful and they need to stop wearing prada and fist pumping.

 

[StarOceanHouse]

^I think bro music would go under:

Hardstyle
NRG
Hard House

or just ask KevinKostner what he likes to listen to.

Damn, well I already voted and assumed "Trance" to be what tiesto is (ive never listened to him before, but I assume lol). I also voted hardstyle because I know what it is and it sucks. Maybe if I liked meth bombs I'd like hardstyle.

 

[StarOceanHouse]

^Supposedly he doesn't do trance anymore. I guess I would have chosen trance but there's some trance that I like.

I find Hardstyle, NRG, and Hard House too cheesy. Hard House is an oxymoron.


I used to like electrohouse. I'm kind of tired of it though. I guess I don't hate it, I'm just bored of it.

I really hate dubstep. That wobble bores me to tears. I'd actually rather listen to any of the other genres I dislike than dubstep. That's how much I dislike the genre. There is some "dubstep" if that's what you want to call it that I like. Burial comes to mind. I wouldn't put it in the same category as all the other dubstep.

 

[Noodle]

I want to vote for Reggaeton, please.

I want to vote for Reggaeton, please.

Is that even electronic, though?

 

[Noodle]

Why wouldn't it be?

 

[KevinKostner]

Why wouldn't it be?

I don't know if the EDM purists would consider it to be so, but to me reggaeton usually has alot of effects like synths and always has a nice drum track, and it's very danceable. So it definitely could be.

You gotta fuck with Wisin Y Yandel and Rakim Y Ken Y.

 

[|>R()|)!G/-\|_]

Hardstyle/Hard House - really, what's up with 4x4 snares?
NRG - Are we at a step aerobics class?
Breakcore - for the sub amateur DJ who likes meth, infomercials, and sample packs
Liquid DnB - 2 kicks away from being gayer than HHC
Schranz - sounds like it wants to hurt me over, and over, and over, and over, and over,
and over, and over, and...
Fidget House - sounds like a carnival with its finger glued to the LFO
Big Beat - all of the annoying sounds of acid and UK hardcore combined with all the \
corniness of commercial "electronica"

Irony , when genre kids (aka psytrancers) call other people's music cheesy . lulz

 

[StarOceanHouse]

^lol.....was that directed at me?

^lol.....was that directed at me?

I think he was trying to say that his taste in music is the greatest and anyone who likes psytrance has an inferior taste in music.

 

[dropsonde]

Why wouldn't it be?

often it uses real instruments i believe, but i may be wrong.

 

[TearItDown]

If you would consider lady gaga to be electronic music and should be somewhere on that list, then so is Reggaeton.
