Favorite: Metal - I just like the heaviness, the lyrics, the technical skill, etc

Least favorite: Pop - It's just the same crap over and over and over. Overplayed, might I add?

I usually just take it as someone disliking a genre in the most general of ways. I can't say without a doubt that I hate every rap or R&B song, but they are by far more miss than hit with me. Thus, I don't like those genres. A few songs here and there don't really change that. However, I'm sure there are some genres out there that I'd be able to completely write off without hesitation, as appealing to my taste would require deviating from said genre's defining style far too much. I haven't looked hard enough to find such a genre, but I'd wager it could be found deep within the sub genres of metal.

Favorite: Classical, Hard Rock, Punk Rock

Least Favorite: Rap, Screamo

I dislike both because the creativity you need to create Screamo is just mashing your head to the keyboard. Rap today just svcks.

Hmm... I'm not really sure what kind of music I like. I guess a mix of Folk and Soft Rock?

Type I cannot stand: rap. I'd even rather listen to country than listen to rap. Runners up: country, pop, techno, metal, hip-hop. I don't like the sound of them - literally, the music has a lot of dissonance, or it is extremely repetitive, or the music just sounds bad to my ear. I'm also picky about the vocalist's voice (example: I don't like guys that sing falsetto or nasally or that sound like girls), and lyrics.

I like music where the different melodies and stuff play off each other and are intricate and really stimulate my mind to listen to them and are pleasing to the ear. Where the instrumental component is rich to listen to, without the vocalist part.


Hey, I know! Someone help me find what genre of music I like! Here are the songs on the radio I like:
Yeah, it's a small list. There aren't a lot of songs I look forward to on a the radio. Mostly it's just songs I tolerate or songs I dislike.

i like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsMHVvpZ3Wg. also http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBrzEVJwYFg and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24pOo5htg9E.

i write a lot of music in a lot of different styles and over the years i've found my enjoyment of most styles of music has diminished, due to either my believing i could do much better than what i'm listening to, or my believing that what i'm listening to is so far out of my league that to hope to write anything on that level would be a waste of time. i don't know if this is pretentious or what but.

i mean i can and do still listen to pretty much every style of music under the sun (though i find a lot of harder electronic music pretty boring, and i can't stand anything that identifies itself as Christian music but doesn't actually do anything interesting or original musically), but the majority of what i listen to nowadays is noise, stoner doom, or hip-hop.

also i generally don't like music that takes itself seriously, unless it's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKcQdPdD1_A&feature=related, or music that's depressing unless it's an interesting tone of depression. i like fun music and music with a sense of humor.

My favorite would be death metal and it's various forms. And why? Because death metal can be simply brutal, but also complex beyond almost anything, and as well quite beautiful music. It's nearly boundless.

My least favorite is a hard one cause there are so many genres I despise, since I'm such an ignorant [censored], but genres I dislike;
Black metal - too many bands use silly satanic imagery, corpsepaint, and they all sound alike (guess that's ironic), and some use silly costumes, examples; Gorgoroth, Dimmu Borgir, Emperor.
Techno/hardstyle/trance or whatever the [censored] it's called - just doesn't appeal to me, it svcks.
Nu metal - it's not metal, it's similiar, but it's not metal.
Metalcore - it's not metal, it's similiar, but it's not metal.
Deathcore - it's not death metal, it's similiar, but it's not death metal nor any form of metal.
There's much more I despise, but I'll my rant now.

Most definitely. Much larger thoughts than in modern music (that I've been exposed to.. I'm probably missing out on some good stuff)

I like black metal and indie also. Black metal because I grew up thinking it was cool and now my ears are accustomed to it sadly .. lol. There's different sides to it though. You have the uber dark side, which just makes me all tingly and sometimes legitimately afraid, and then you have the "black and roll" side, which just reeks of badassery. :rock: I'd call black metal my favourite genre despite hating 90% of it. Indie because it can be pretty interesting sometimes and very calming.

Plenty of other genres and artists that barely fit into any genres that have those qualities ^ and other qualities I like, but I don't feel like making a really huge post

My least favourite genres are probably dubstep, country and deathcore type bands. Country and deathcore because they're both unbelievably boring and don't really seem like the most creative genres out there. Dubstep... well dubstep simply because everyone seems to think it's so cool nowadays and that fact and the music itself just irritates me. heheh

Genres I find a prominent amount of my favourite bands/artists to be in:

Industrial Metal
Industrial Rock
EBM
Aggrotech
Electro-Industrial
Futurepop
Synthpop
Heavy Metal
Progressive Metal
Symphonic Metal
Power Metal
Gothic Metal
VGM

In one fell swoop I will describe the music I like from these genres -- music that focuses primarily on instruments and not vocals, however there are times where vocals complement the music heavily which is always a plus. While some of them have prominent vocals, I don't consider them "in the way" of the music, where it becomes so loud or noisy or irritating that I just want the artists/bands to die in a fire. Surely, plenty of what I listen to tries to send a message of some sort, but at least I can enjoy the music free from becoming inundated with it. Music can be inspiring, I'd rather it be for my own reasons and not for someone else's. It's why I can listen to Christian synthpop artists like VNV Nation, or Christian Death Metal bands like Demon Hunter, while being agnostic, and not feel like I'm listening to religious propaganda, or listen to anarchistic anti-government/uprising despite being.. whatever the hell it is I am, without feeling like this is my own personality and like I'm being culled to another's agenda.

More specifically, most industrial has a certain pounding sound to it, or certain electronic riffs, that are quite favourable to my ears, the same with non-classic type metal (example, progressive) where bass is more prominent than usual instead of mainly electric and virtually silent or non-existent bass.


Genres from which I find music I dislike/can't stand:

Pop (too much similarity, too little originality)
Rap (I don't consider talking to be music, and the creators of the beats involving rap songs, even if taken tend to not be done by the rapper)
Hip-Hop (similar to rap)
Country (awful, depressing music)
Black Metal (horrendously low-pitched vocals, or high pitched screeches, music too loud about an agenda of hatred, racism, agony, satanic themes, emo-crap, and/or elitism, the latter of which for no logical reason whatsoever)
Screamo (see black metal -- music becomes an annoyance when vocals become too much a distraction and not something that adds to the music)
Emo (again, annoying vocals, annoying themes, normally I don't care about themes of music but emo makes me, and in a bad way.. like black metal goes into my "die in a fire" category)
Gospel (obviously, music inspired by religion, and bad music at that.. I don't like it, another "die in a fire" type of music)

Favorite
Metal in almost all it's forms. Except for rap metal. Also video game music if that counts as a genre.

Least Favorite
This used to be rap but I've developed a taste for a few select pieces of rap music over the past few years. Most of what I despise falls under the category of hiphop. My friends also have this fascination with listening to alternative bands with lead singers who's balls never dropped. And Radio Head. Guy sounds like he started recording five minutes after dragging himself out of bed.

No genres. :shrug: You might as well ask me what color of movie I like best.

Is it Orange and Teal?

Mostly Gothic , European & Mexican scene .
I don't only follow Gothic music but also literature , i guess because i live in a hot and sunny country dark cold things have an exotic appeal to me .

Whatever is on my iPod. And whatever my ears like. I am trying my best to do a lot less bashing against different forms of music, even if I think it svcks. Sure is hard to be less ignorant when it comes to music.

Everything as long as it sounds good.

But should I have to choose then I'd go for... Hardstyle and hardcoe

Favorite:hip hop
Eminem:the G.O.A.T. He's truly something special a master wordsmith and a genius storyteller.

Lupe Fiasco:extremely intricate metaphor and wordplay(one sentence having multiple meanings)

Tupac ,slug, kanye(pompous and egotistical but still cool. A bunch of good hip hop you just gotta look.

LeastFavorite:hip hop

its considered hip hop , I call it hip pop or [censored] hop

Stuff like anything from cash money ,pitbull,gucci mane , all those other fake G's

I also donte like anything screaming 'cept rage against, country boring and uninspiring, rnb just lame,techco sounds like randomly sequenced synthetic noises, pop it makes me feel dumb ,its fine if you like it but if you like it and don't see whats wrong with it than your dumb and deserve to listen to it .
