What are some genres of music that you despise? Just hearing it fills you with intense loathing and discomfort to move you into a violent fit of rage.
Ska Punk/2 Tone. Holy fuck, I hate Ska Punk. Not only do I find the instrumentation obnoxious, the very subculture itself fosters retards. Whether it's the stupid skanking or flatulent trumpets blaring over gimpy riffs, everything about Ska Punk is thoroughly unpleasant.
Personal experience has also led me towards completely hating this kind of music. I went to school with a beta Chad who was boy king of the dorks who shared his taste in popular culture. More irritating was his avowedly socialist platforms as he lived in complete comfort thanks to Mommy and Daddy's respectively lucrative careers as medical doctors. Blonde haired and blue-eyed, he'd also boast of his Venezuelan heritage and routinely tout the success of Chavez's regime. Hypocrisy oozed out of every pore of his body. The bastard wouldn't know what it meant to be working class if the ghost of Emma Goldman shit on his head.
I don't hate this genre, but I haven't been able to get into post-punk yet. I've heard a fair bit, but very little of it sticks. Here's the few post-punk songs I like:
none, i try to be understanding of anything or anyone i come across
Jose Reyes
Chiptune.
It's the most sterile genre in music, listened to only by nostalgic geeks.
I'm waiting for "post-chiptune" to become a thing. I'm making an experimental/dissonant chiptune album myself, and I think it has potential to be another meme genre.
but it's already being blended with other genres listen to Hyper Light Drifter
Aiden Howard
emo
I fucking hate the glamorization of weakness. Glamorizing suffering and sorrow is one thing, but glamorizing emotional insecurity, indecisiveness, self-destructiveness, identity crisis, anxiety and awkwardness, everything that leads you to ruin and prevents you from getting stronger and self-consistent, that shit gets me legit mad.
Asher Johnson
chiptune isn't a genre
Robert Wright

Parker Harris

Ryan James
hip hop tbqh
Jeremiah Kelly
Only teenagers listen to it if that makes you feel better
Camden Bennett
What is this genre
This, I used to be a hip-hop head, but now I hate it. Dumbfuck fans, even worse than Sup Forums kids pretending to like Death Grips
Anthony Ross
I was in a ska band. Sucks coming from punk and having to work with band kids, getting all pissy about smoke breaks and shit.
Eli Wilson
Metal. Im probably just a raging cynic, but I feel like a majority of metal listeners do it for the sake of being edgy and different. The music blows, I don't know how that shit is supposed to convey any emotion (let alone anger, which they try hard at). Not to mention it has the biggest landfill of trash-tier highschool/college bands. I remember I was trying to explore new music a year or so ago, and I stumbled upon Ty Segall's "slaughterhouse" and really dug it. I was told this was sort of metal, but I haven't found any metal like it. If you wanna prove that metal isn't just a meme genre you can start by suggesting metal bands that sound like that.
Brayden Campbell
music i don't like = music i don't understand i don't hate any music but i feel bored and alienated by what most of my friends and most of this board listens to.
Logan Richardson
>I was told this was sort of metal you were told wrong
Blake Collins
emocore / emotional hardcore / emo
it's punks with Beatles haircuts who scream about their friends being douchebags to them
Easton Brown
There are millions of metal genres. I guarantee, you can find the one that you'll enjoy.
Cooper Cook
>bashes metal >"but what's really good is heavy metal influenced garage rock" > why don't you just listen to the older bands ty is ripping off? he's not exactly quiet about his influences. listen to some fucking motorhead or t. rex
Thomas Jackson
I think there's good emo and bad emo good: snowing EP bad: modern baseball
Hudson Edwards
If you don't get how even the lamest, most mallcore Metal sounds angry, then there might be something wrong with your hormones or something.
Andrew Kelly
Lmao, Beatles haircuts. Still don't understand what you are talking about.
Adam Morris
approximately one hundred subgenres yep
Aiden Robinson
lmao "sounds angry" is subjective as fuck. as someone who has listened to heavy music for several years, metal has never sounded "angry" to me in the same way noise rock or other less structured music does.
Joseph Roberts
How old are you? If you're below 20 you probably managed to avoid the emo trend of the early 2000s.
Brody Carter
folk punk I've yet to hear a single folk punk song that didn't make me want to jab knitting needles in to my ear drums.
Robert Parker
I'm 18. Name a band that you hate so I can understand what exactly you are talking about.
Ayden Fisher
I mean I GET that it's angry, but I don't feel the anger. And it's not that I can't feel anger from listening to music, it's just that metal fails to do so.
Anthony Richardson
singing about those things does not mean they are glamorizing it
Nicholas Anderson
Certainly not in the same way, but what do you call heavy? Cause noise rock, to me, doesn't sound very heavy, precisely because it's not structured enough to create momentum and groove. Abrasive sure, but rarely heavy.
And of course it's subjective but guess what: if you're communicating, it means you believe that we can agree on what it means.
Christian Turner
Yeah, I'm sorry dude, I didn't really enjoy any of them
Christopher Jones
Reggae. It's irrational but I can't fucking stand it. I can count the number of reggae tracks I've enjoyed on one hand.
Connor Peterson
American Football, for instance Well it sounds like they're at least trying to communicate those feelings, which is even worse
Ryan Fisher
I can relate to your sentiments about ska, OP.
I myself fucking hate reggae and its subculture. Fuck those dirty retards
Jaxson Stewart
Do you think you could name some bands you listened to? I might be able to give you some that sound good, assuming you don't list them as ones you hated xd
literally nothing wrong with trying to communicate those feelings either
William Rivera
Personally I think Metal is more about creating an adrenaline rush or feeling of aggressive, explosive tension than it is about anger as in "being mad at stuff".
Sebastian Richardson
I agree with you on most of that. I like the math rock instrumentation on it even if the lyrics can get annoyingly bad. However, I don't think most songs are glamorizing it, more as they just go on and on about it.
Ian Jones
Reggae is like bluegrass. It's more enjoyable live. I wouldn't listen to bluegrass in my living room, but if I'm sitting on a blanket in the grass drinking a beer and watching a bluegrass band, it's passable. For reggae, replace the beer with a joint and you got something.
Noah Diaz
>hating on entire genres
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Anthony Stewart
Yes there is. There is something wrong about trying to make people feel weak just because you feel weak. It's one of the shittiest things you can do with art.
Brandon Sullivan
Try Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats, especially their album Bloodlust.
Matthew Cruz
AJJ, Dishwasher whatever something, some band named after a bunny, Johnny hobo something, a bunch of others. Meh. It ain't for me.
Oliver Nelson
How is singing about having negative feelings, emotions or experiences, or "feeling weak", trying to make others feel weak? I'm genuinely confused by what you mean. Aren't they just trying to discuss things which impacted on their lives? Whether that's good or bad lyricism (I don't like emo or the lyrics whatsoever) I don't see how it's an unethical thing.
Thomas Williams
yeah people with depression should just shut up and sit in a corner and never try and talk about things
Tyler Peterson
>wah, i'm a pussy and there's sand in my vagina:the genre
Easton Gutierrez
it feels presumptuous to me to attach specific emotions onto music when music is more like a canvas for projected emotion than a container of emotion imo. metal feels too structured to invoke any kind of aggressiveness or anger for me.
Andrew Richardson
>he can't into Zan-zan-zawa-veia fucking pleb
Jaxson Hughes
No, they aren't trying to discuss those things, they're trying to COMMUNICATE them. To make other people feel them. Emocore, much like the bulk of rock music, is expressionistic, it consists in transmitting your feelings to others through art. It tries to CONVEY stuff.
stuff they should keep to themselves or to their close family.
Josiah Martinez
Yeah but I just don't feel that with metal, I do with other music, but not with metal.
Gabriel Johnson
T. Rex is not metal by any stretch of the imagination
Zachary James
there ya go
Landon Thomas
ABSOLUTELY Depression is not something to be flaunted and showed off like it's a fucking lamborghini. But most of the feelsfags on Sup Forums don't get that, that's why they compare their "depression music" in specifically-dedicated threads like they're having a pissing contest about who's the most crippled.
Ska punk is great, punk can oftimes be overwrought and dreary. The ska element works well for anyone who enjoys the frenetic pace but tires of the hostility, plus the horns allow for more interesting arrangements than guitars playing a few chords. This is my favorite album: youtube.com/watch?v=_Koz0jaS0Ec
Nolan Parker
I think this kind of thinking is ridiculous and close-minded because I think people with issues that make them feel weak or sad are those who need to convey their feelings the MOST, just because it's uncomfortable doesn't mean they should just be quiet about it and keep it to themselves, that's fucking insane man, some of the greatest artists of all time, music or otherwise communicated their feelings and sadness
Evan Gonzalez
that's queer
Kayden Lewis
wingnut dishwasher's union and johnny hobo are both pat the bunny bands, who is someone you also mentioned. I can totally see how that's earsplitting, you could try his newer band ramshackle glory, they're not as cheap sounding anymore: youtube.com/watch?v=Ut7EXvLqiWM
Or the taxpayers, they sound smooth. They also have a decent amount of variety, they're known for a jazz punk record they put out. youtube.com/watch?v=HbIcB4fF6OI
Christian Sanchez
it's unethical if it encourages an unethical mindset it would be stretching, but you could argue that the existence of emo is a bad thing because it allows adolescent boys to not move past the mindset of being entitled to a gf/fetishes a very specific white male sadness. i don't know, i don't think art can really be unethical in any scenario where it's not directly harming people.
Dominic Martin
Zeuhl
Shitty prog with gibberish lyrics
Ryder Campbell
No, no, you don't understand.
Just because they need to do something doesn't mean they have the right to do it.
Just because they might kill themselves if they don't contaminate others with their emotional disease doesn't mean they have the right to spread it through art. And in fact I sorely doubt that people who show off their sadness are really so sad that they might kill themselves.
Jayden Long
ok i didn't imply it was these are literally bands my best friend in elementary school listened to
Owen Gray
yeah he must've been referring to some of ty's other work, specifically his t. rex cover album...
Thomas Williams
Yeah I'd like to see how somebody with clinical depression would feel if they were never allowed to talk about it necause they'd make some retards uncomfortable, holy fucking shit
I mean yeah sure glamorizing depression is fucking awful but that's not what you're talking about here at all
Tyler Rogers
Well at the very least it's a nuisance.
Grayson Morgan
oh okay you're just b8ing, either that or you're just ignorant
i should have known earlier
Asher Collins
>being sad is unethical >muh white male sadness must be stopped
Glamorizing depression is bad because it allows people to spread it.
Liam Morales
it's symptomatic of a shitty part of culture- that doesn't mean it shouldn't exist in the first place.
Dominic Stewart
one fundamental thing you're missing: sad music isn't made to make happy people feel sad, but to make sad people feel happy. sad music is effectively uplifting, you can fucking google this if you're autistic and don't believe me. shared suffering, you know?
Dylan Nelson
Hip hop
Oliver Nelson
You can't "spread" depression, the fuck is wrong with you?
Jaxon Cooper
So you really think that feeling bad gives you the right to make everyone else as miserable as you are? You egotistic prick.
Wyatt Sullivan
weeb music.
all that trash ranging from anime "rock" music to final fantasy bullshit orchestrated crap, all of it, is total shit.
Justin Mitchell
let me rephrase your misinterpretations of my post "making SAD art encourages sadness" "just being a white male and sad doesn't lend credibility to your emotional intelligence"
Charles Morgan
>Waaah i'm a little bitch and can't handle other people being different to me! >fucking mentally ill people ruining society!
kek
Adrian Green
No, it causes culture to be shitty, which is why it shouldn't be allowed to exist. as I said, there's a difference between sad and weak. listening to weak music doesn't make you feel stronger. Yes you can.
James Nelson
>waah waah people don't let me ruin their day with my whining >fucking healthy people ruining my life by not being mentally ill as I am!
l o l
Carson Bennett
>open thread >see this retard I genuinely hope you aren't being serious right now
Wyatt Anderson
is despise all reggae and dreadheads, but dub is pretty cool, because its trippy and doesnt try to evangelize you on jah and dude weed lmao.
Sebastian Mitchell
what the hell is wrong with you what made you think it works this way? i listen to a ton of "sad" music and i'm as happy as one can be
>Yes you can. depression ≠ being sad what did they teach you in school mate
Andrew Thompson
I wonder what's culturally shitty
People with a mental illness being told to fuck off or they'll make other people sad, or
People with a mental illness allowed to express their feelings like anybody else
Hunter White
>the right to create art with a certain message is revocable what the fuck are you talking about? who enforces these rights?
Carter Lopez
as you say yourself, depression=/=being sad emo isn't just about sadness it's about feeling like shit and being impotent and weak. And listening to that shit won't make you feel happy.
Parker Robinson
E D G Y D G Y
Aaron Collins
>No, it causes culture to be shitty, which is why it shouldn't be allowed to exist. I think you're misunderstanding what culture is. You can't just push out the parts of it you don't like.
Isaiah Thompson
I've tried for MANY years to give screamo/metalcore, anything with just screaming vocals. I just can't enjoy it, I legitimately hate it. I don't understand all the praise for incoherent screaming for 4 minutes on every song, every album. They all sound the same, about 15 seconds of ( sometimes actually good) instrumental, an then the rest of the song BLAUGHBLAUGHARGGBLAUGHVYSGVUY!!!!!! literally every album. also fuck pop punk
Benjamin Williams
The latter, I just explained you why. I'm not talking about civil rights I'm talking about moral rights.
Jose Jenkins
Which is precisely why culture is fucked: people can freely use it to spread mental disorders and nobody can stop them because they're "just" expressing themselves.
Charles Williams
>I mean I GET that it's angry, but I don't feel the anger.
this. metal maybe was able to be angry in its early days, but then it became pure posture standing on a formulaic structure. metal is boring and lame, and if you want anger theres lots of other shit far more angry or corrosive or whatever, just take the early industrial music for example.
metalheads are tolkien loving nerds, too.
Jeremiah Bennett
>doesnt try to evangelize you on jah and dude weed that's only roots reggae which was popular for less than 10 years. rocksteady, lovers rock, deejay, dancehall, etc. barely have any of that stuff.
Leo White
lmao, wow
Xavier Hernandez
it won't automatically make you sad either it probably won't alter your state of life at all since it's just music just like listening to nothing but madonna's holiday won't make you the happiest man on earth, listening to sad music won't ruin your life, it doesn't work like that.
William Anderson
I hate the whole 'it's a catchy upbeat song... until you listen to the lyrics!' thing every ska beat seems obsessed with doing.
