The worst music (genre) ever?

[Ruptga]

Yeah, to me music is like women from different ethnic groups, body types, styles, etc. May not want to listen to it all the time, but there is always something I like.

I see what you're saying, but I have a hard time believing you guys have never met a genre you just didn't like.

I did always like this one, and was one of the earliest.

There are always exceptions to rules.

Exception not found. 'Plastic ' isn't any more tolerable than gangsta.

Oh and I pulled those numbers out of my ass purely for the sake of illustration

You pull things out of your ass for illustration? Fail indeed.

Hey, I also do it for an hourly rate 😉

Never heard of "CCM"

I dunno, maybe when I was younger I would limit myself to certain genres, but now I dont care. In my collection I have everything from classical and bossa nova to Indian and Middle Eastern inspired music, and everything in between. Strangely enough, I think the sampling in Hip Hop opened me up other types of music that I wouldnt have normally heard. Once you make the leap from Tribe Called Quest to Bob Dylan, everything is fair game.

I vote for whatever the fuck genre Five Finger Death Punch "sings".

And I still remember when this came out, I was living in Hawaii, and almost got mad at first then I busted out laughing my ass off the first time I saw it the first time when it was brand new......

Japanese idol "metal". I apologize in advance, because here's an example.

CCM = Christian Contemporary Music

Have you people never heard of google?

CCM makes hockey equipment.

I would pick modern country because I hate it all.

Dear lord! How'd we get to this many posts with no mention of jpop or kpop?

I mentioned j(pop)metal. Does that count?

...and if you don't get why I call it that, you'll understand if you watch a little bit of it.

Heavy metal? Their main vocalist is a little annoying, but I don't think they're that bad on the whole. I am partial to metal in general, though.

The Japanese are just plain strange. I have a theory that at least half of popular Japanese culture was created specifically to weird out Western minds. :biggrin:

Rap. It took all of the harmony out of music and turned it into nothing but rhythm. By definition, it's technically not even music.

Correct answer.

Was out before Gansta existed.

I'm not here to hold anyone's hand.

It`s obvious that you are not here to be intelligent!

Sorry Fritzo, I like you a lot, but this is complete and utter bullshit.

In certain circles, sure. As a fraction of all the people you know, how many people do you know that regularly listen to classical? Lindsey Stirling and Apocalyptica don't count.

Some in this forum don't just listen to it often (my mom was an opera singer, my brother played the flute and I the French horn - back then schools had music programs), but also like to write it.

Percussionist myself, I started playing in the 4th grade, even though I do not these days.

Many frown on those but we had guys in out music program back in the 80's in Madison Scouts, Phantom Regiment, and a one that was the Captain at the time went to Boston Symphony at Tanglewood over the summer, it was a pretty serious music program even though I went in the Marines after then became a Journeyman Tool & Diemaker.

I still played with bands later messing about even after for awhile, my old Tama Superstar Cherrywines 7 Piece set just sits in my Florida room and gives me dirty looks these days, forgive me Neil Peart.

Rap (all of it)

 

[Atomic Playboy]

I thought the OP said CCR and I was very confused as to how anyone could label Creedence the worst music of all time. Then I figured out what CCM meant and found myself nodding in agreement. Not that I really "hate" any genre of music, but given my druthers, I'd be perfectly happy never hearing another Christian rock song again as long as I live.

LOL...I'll explain. Music is the interaction of harmony, melody, and rhythm. Rap is almost all rhythm. Try to hum a rap song...can you do it?

Therefore, strictly speaking, rap is incomplete music. It's missing the other components. The beatnik genre from the 50s falls into the same category. Both genres would be better classified as "rhythmic poetry".
