I intensely dislike and will avoid at all costs:

Rap
R&B
Hip hop
Anything extremely dissonant
Modern Christmas music
Never-ending jazz

And, sadly, I've found myself unable to listen to a lot of opera, too. I used to want to be an opera singer, what happened? *sad*

Indie pop
Adult contemporary
Rap
R&B
Free Jazz - I know the musicianship is generally really good, but strange time signatures and apparently meaningless scalar meandering have this synergistic ability to just drive me stark raving mad.

I actually don't know what emo music is. I'm afraid to ask - but here goes - got an example?


Stuff by My Chemical Romance is a good example. Basically, it's a genre of rock that has its roots in punk rock, which often focuses on lyrics that describe feelings of typical "teenage angst". IMO it often sounds quite whiny, and the songs themselves are far too pop-ish and unmelodious for my tastes.


Thanks :) I guess it's whine and chime. <shudder>

Interesting. I have to agree. I listen to smooth Jazz a lot - in lieu of the old school - just can't seem to find it on shoutcast - and lemme tell you - it's like one lonnnnnnng saxophone whinny with dollops of electro rhythms and a dash of latin beat. Ugh ugh ugh. Enough. Can they NOT understand free form? Would that be too hard to achieve?
