Music genres you can't stand...

Crunk and country

It seems a bit hypercritical to completely discount an entire genre's status as music. Many subgenres of it are heavily influenced by and multiple elements of classical music, do you consider that to be music?
Judging from your comment you must have a narrow scope of the genre.

An example that may better display the type you seem to be familiar with that includes the influences mentioned above would be this:

There's a huge distinct difference between black metal and power metal. We can't really expect people who've never listened to it before to understand this. Though, they shouldn't stereotype. Kamelot's technically classified as metal and their music sounds better than most of whatever you'd see on television today anyways.

I disabled BB code in this post because of all the videos. Didn't wanna freeze up some people.

My three most disliked genres are country, heavy metal, and rap.

Every genre has something to enjoy in it, even if it's not immediately noticeable at first.

You should really proofread your posts because after you wrote this, you went on to list very specific genres.

I'm the same way, as in I have my tried and true who deliver a particular sound consistently. Like what you mentioned though with Chris Liberator (and Dave The Drummer, et al in the 'avin it acid genre) They've had incredible deep dark sets that I loved and then they've had some sets that just sounded like really bad house. Adam Beyer doesn't disappoint too often, Mark EG genre jumps a lot but his darker acid techno is great and the way he spins the deeper/duskier trance, kind of like another guy who's great for that as well - John '00' Fleming. Jungle IMO is a lot more stable - yeah you had a lot of the guys who were doing dark back in 1997/98 go clownstep and even with dark re-surging in the last four or five years they've stuck to the pop, some of the newer guys though seem like they have every intention of staying true to it though - and I think there's always new ground to explore in dark, much for the reason that Noisia in an interview indicated that they like it - you have the most sophisticated sound engineering and collage of concepts/atmospheres/emotions; the first generation perhaps engineered it but, the second generation grew up on it, that's the difference.

Mostly mainstream.

I don't know why but I seem to like the kinds of genres that're either not popular or hard to find.

I listen to most genres of music, save mainstream music and most country today.

I'm not very picky with music, but what I can't stand is...

hardcore rap.

Normally, I'm not that into Rock, but this is brilliant.

Is it hardcore rap??

Mainstream Pop Music
Bands and musicians that have sold out COMPLETELY!
Modern R&B + Rap
Artists that sample already sampled music
Ripping off lyrics and stuffing them into choruses (IT'S NOT TALENTED)
Manufactured, Boy/Girl Bands.
Teen Heart-Throb Sensations.
Nu-Metal/Metal about love wa-wa-boo-hoo bollocks
UN-TISH UN-TISH TECHNO UN-TISH MUSIC!
Talentless s**t.
WRITE YOUR OWN SONGS! FFS!

I'm VERY picky with my music, to be honest. End of rant.

EDIT: There are obviously some exceptions to this angrily written list.

Pop music sucks as you can't hear the music.

Classical music just enrages and stresses me out

Manufactured teen bands/musicians (basically anyone from the Disney/Nickelodeon ilk)
Classical music (boring)
Most mainstream pop (with the exception of Adam Lambert)
Whatever the brainless, annoying-as-hell bubblegum s**t they play in preppy mall stores is (Old Navy is the worst for this. I greatly prefer Hot Topic, but my aunt occasionally gives me gift cards for Old Navy.)
Country music (I've lived in a rural area my entire 17 years and I'm tired of the s**t; besides, many if not most of the songs have strong Christian undertones and I am an open agnostic.)
Christian music (I am an open agnostic, so to me this is like listening to Wizard Rock.)
Kidz Bop and other things in that general vein (I have no problem with the idea of maybe censoring words here and there, but these absolutely ruin the whole concept of many songs. I find it especially irritating when they cover songs that are already appropriate or or even aimed at kids - Move Along, The Middle, Fireflies and Sk8er Boi are just a few that come to mind.)

I don't care for most of the current rap music (Rap was so much better in the 80s and 90s, IMO.)

Although it's not so much genres as a whole anymore that I can't stand, as specific artists or bands.

Beyonce, for instance, I HATE with a smouldering passion.
I dislike Justin Bieber and the Jonas Brothers.
And although I've not heard much from out of the metalcore genre, I can tell you that I hate the band The Devil Wears Prada (especially their drummer Daniel Williams. And if any of TDWP's fans here suggest that they think Daniel happens to be an Aspie himself, I'm gonna barf )

Tim (aka the Slipperman)

I like everything. Really, I just can't see why people let the barriers of genres prevent them from finding amazing music.

My favorite genres to listen to right now have to be among the likes of

Early Jazz
Trip Hop
IDM (Stupid term, but I'm not really sure how else to describe the sounds of artists like Aphex Twin or Boards of Canada.)
Grunge
Instrumental Folk
Baroque Classical
Gangsta & Old School Rap
Singer/Songwriters with similar stylings as Ray LaMontagne, Amos Lee, or Van Morrison

I guess that covers some of the stuff I'm listening to right now. I'd have to say out of all the tracks I've studied in the last month or so, this is probably my favorite:

You'd hate my music collection cuz I have a lot of that I like a wide variety of music thou. About the only genres I've been exposed to that I really dislike are blues & jazz. My dad's from New Orleans & about the only music he likes is blues & jazz & he almost always puts his music on in the car. His definition of jazz mite be different than the mainstream thou because he does not like the two jazz stations on the XM satellite radio & when people are listening to jazz in movies or TV eps; my dad says it's not real jazz. Maybe I should of said I do not New Orleans music
