Music genres you can't stand...

Post Reply New Topic

The type of music that I can't stand, is silence. I have to have music going, at all times.

That's cool

I can't stand any music for more than 15 minutes, and the tolerance reduces to zero for all pop music.

Country
Oldies
Christmas carols
Ice cream truck themes
Nothing else is blanket hatred, there's usually some redeeming pieces even outside of my favorite genres. ObGeek has the right idea there, keep an open mind. I hated rap for a long time but got converted and now I like some of it as much as my treasured hard/metal stuff.

Oh and silence is AWESOME, and is about 90% of my playlist, and I hereby shake a fist at all you silence-haters.

I have to have something on usually as well. When I go to the kitchen for a light snack; I sometimes spend more time channel surfing before I eat it to have something on for background noise than the time it takes for me to eat the snack. When things are really quiet; every little noise I hear can distract & startle me. Having TV or music on helps me focus & kinda helps keep me from zoning out to. Maybe it's related to ADHD somehow; I divide my attention or switch back n forth really fast between things so I don't completely lose focus Like other Aspies thou, environments with a lot of noise can really overwhelm & confuse me.

The ones with distractions: Heavy metal, rap, some of trance..

The reason I don't include rap is because I don't consider it to be music. It's closer to poetry or even storytelling than music

I enjoy all genres!... except for modern pop.

I mean, even in the 80's pop was good, like Michael Jackson's Thriller. But what happened? Popular music these days is, pretty much, crap... and un-musical. The "art"ists don't give a toss about art, it's all about money and business.
I mean, money and business is a definite factor in music - how else could you make a living off of it? But people have turned music into something where it's the only factor in music. Generic, mass-produced...

The sad thing is that the general public listening audience doesn't even care, and that might just be the problem. I'd like to use Lady Gaga as a reference here - she knows the deal:

She has actual talent, which is clearly evident there- classical-based improvisation, singing while playing such, and not an ounce of autotune, but you won't see this in any of her popular hits, because that's not what sells music and puts food on the table.

I mean, even the topic of autotune - so many pop artists are dependent upon autotune since they lack the talent to sing correctly otherwise, and yes, nobody cares, people still buy it. Case in point.

But... I'm talking about popular music here. There's good music out there today, I'm not going to say there's no good music anymore. I have quite a few favorite bands that are pretty modern, but they're not popular these days, like Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd were popular in their heyday.

Sorry for the rant... I've got to stop doing that >.>
