music genres i DON'T like

[lauralh]

I've got the right balance of uppers and downers in me right now to prevent panic attack AND passing out. Anyway, without further ado:

• bluegrass
• country music after 1930
• jazz after WW2 that didn't come out of new orleans
• soulful r&b
• anything with "smooth" in the description
• southern rock/alt country
• "bling" rap
• skater punk
• speed/death metal/industrial (unless it's more electronic than instruments)
• Tool
• folk music, or just any "singer/songwriter" with a plinky guitar
• glitchy IDM without a beat
• psytrance with only a beat
• french hip-hop
• nerd rock

It's funny that you give Tool its own genre.

[herbaliser.livejournal.com]

I'm not really sure what genre to put them in, since I hate them.

[thesadpunk.livejournal.com]

I knew there was a good reason I liked you.

[chris.livejournal.com]

I think I listen to almost all of those :D

ADMIT IT
YOU LOVE THE BLING
DRINKIN' CRISTAL

hey, hennesy and ecstacy is a great track

[herbaliser.livejournal.com]

yeah i like some of that stuff, but really i prefer the down and dirty west coast dead-friend shit.

[chris.livejournal.com]

I think with most of these the problem is a saturation of artists that are crap and bring down the whole genre. except that sort of applies to any kind of music.

[hotcrab.livejournal.com]

while i agree with much of this list
i would classify much of what you listen to as "nerd rock"

[herbaliser.livejournal.com]

that was just shorthand for They Might Be Giants

[bitchness.livejournal.com]

They Might Be Giants kicks ass. Especially for karaoke. I have had Bitdhouse In Your Soul sang to me twice in the last couple of weeks. I like it.

There are a couple of other genres in there that I like, but I agree with a lot of them.

I dislike most of that too, except I like speed metal and Tool, and some country from the 40's and 50's. And TMBG is okay in very tiny doses.

[herbaliser.livejournal.com]

like, Flood.

[janietrain.livejournal.com]

What does that leave, exactly? Indie Rock, New Wave, Electronica and... Christian Funk?

[herbaliser.livejournal.com]

yeah, man, i loves the christian funk with its no mentions of sex

[aefirpo.livejournal.com]

I happen to occasionally like bluegrass.

But yeah, other than that, almsot perfect. I'd add 'System of a Down' in next to 'Tool', however, since they also display a sort of musical talent that doesn't lend itself to any real genre, and sucks.

southern rock/alt country has really been growing on me recently. Drive By Truckers totally rock. I really like Ryan Adams and Whiskeytown. I find myself listening to Swinging Doors on KEXP and liking it.

[herbaliser.livejournal.com]

reg makes me listen to that shit, and I hate it.

[patrick.livejournal.com]

I hated it at first, but it's grown on me like an infectious disease.

[vileinfestation.livejournal.com]

Good man, he's trying.
