if theres one genre that should just die

[Extra Cheese]

it's that dance, freestyle, club, bullshit. that music is just completely worthless. i only know the names of a few of the artists, TKA and coro, but it doesnt really matter cuz every single one of those type of songs sound exactly the same. its that really bad music they play on KTU for those who live in new york.

[likeOMG!]

Techno makes me want to kill myself

[Mr.Right]

I wouldn't mind if Techno died a slowly, painful death, this "music" is crap!!! :mad:

[Los Para Noias]

I like it

[A. Remin' D.]

Country, it completely sucks besides Hank Williams and Roger Miller.

Also Freestyle Rap, it has no feeling, and it is just random stupid bullshit.

[Trimm Trabb]

A lot of techno music sucks ass, but so do a lot of rockbands.
You just have to find the right kind and then you'll be dancing your booty off all night.

[DroppinScience]

I like electronica, but a good 95% of whatever is called "techno" is worthless.

maybe, but that's no reason to dispose of an entire genre.
I'm just trying to say that every style of music has it's good and crap varieties and if you are willing to look a little further than the mainstream and are open to it, you will find things that are really good, even if you didn't expect it to be.

I'll agree with you there. But for me, there's gotta be some pretty fan-fuckin-tastic techno, because most of what I hear is pretty unlistenable. I dunno, raver type stuff just doesn't do it for me.

Anything under the "dance" umbrella (and there's plenty of different styles that get placed in that category), I'll usually like if it's got the word "alt" or "indie" in front of it. ;)

[ms.peachy]

Eh, with the right combination of chemical stimulants, almost anything can sound fucking beautiful.

[DroppinScience]

I hate R'n'B.

'50s, '60s and '70s R&B is good (not to mention one of the backbones of rock and roll). But it's been pretty worthless as of recent.

[aenema]

I was just about to post JAZZ, but I love the 'Chicago' soundtrack, therefore self-contradictory.

Hrm. Forget it, I'll post it anyway, 99% of Jazz is POO.

I agree. How did the term that used to describe some of the best music ever made come to apply that that gargling-up-and-down-the-scales overwrought sack of shit stuff, anyway?

Heresy! You clearly have not had enough Chet Baker in your life, child.

[aenema]

I was raised with Jazz bands playing in the next room to the kitchen, they are quite rubbish, sorry Peach :(

*has a heart attack* How can you SAY such a thing?

That's it. I'm heading to England and forcing you to listen to my John Coletrane, Miles Davis and all my bossa nova artists (Stan Getz, Astrud Gilberto, Joao Gilberto, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Bebel Gilberto and such). Oh yes, I'll also throw in some Sinatra for good measure! :D

*ears bleed*

[ToucanSpam]

Country is my kryptonite. Seriously, if you want me to die instantly, throw me into the sun, or play country when I am within an earshot.

[tdot04]

I wouldn't mind if pop/r&b just disappeared right now. It angers me.

Only drawback would be that grade eight dances would become extinct. Think of the children!

[Documad]

There is nothing as horrible as bad arena rock.

[afronaut]

why hasnt anyone said ska?

[RaZoRbLaDe KiSs]

Uh.. bad pop like Xtina and Brittney spears.
Gangster rap
Techno thats just beats
Japanease Techno
Music like Bjork and Yoko Ono
sappy country thats all about how the dudes wife left him and his dog ran away..

[Junker]

Also Freestyle Rap, it has no feeling, and it is just random stupid bullshit.

So, you saying that Koe Moe Dee and Busy B are bullshit?

Are you a fan of Bossa Nova?? I'm Brazilian and i feel happy to hear that.

[aenema]

Oh my, yeah, Reel Big Fish and No Doubt are just some of the ska crap my sister listens to. It does my bloody nut in. Die!

[Leonie]

i don't really like metal, apres ski, classic

apres ski is music that can only be hits in holland and germany

[ProfJIM]

Corny country.

(not the good stuff, the cowboy bullshit ect.)

My girlfriend Katie made a hilarious comment about country yesterday while we were waiting for food at the DQ

"ooo let's hear another song about holding hands on a bridge again!"

[ProfJIM]

Music like Bjork and Yoko Ono



WTF, bjork and Yoko Ono arent even in the same galaxy

You listen to H.I.M, shut up.

[Matt]

I can't stand 95% of pop. and most stupid "Punk-pop" bands that pride themselves on being ironic (Bowling for Soup, NOFX, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes)

And jazz is the last recourse of the untalented. Its what you do when you can't get a gig.

[RaZoRbLaDe KiSs]

Maybe if you wer'nt such a cunt you'd realize that wether they be in the same galaxy or not, I dont give a fuck they both SUCK (n)

and you've probably never even listened to him so shut the fuck up.

[A. Remin' D.]

So, you saying that Koe Moe Dee and Busy B are bullshit?

At least not Kool Moe Dee, I've been a fan of him for quite awhile. But their freestyles, well, the lyrics are just kind of meaningless. ("you ain't shit", stuff like that)

[tdot04]

Freestyling is some difficult shit. It's nearly impossible to flow off the top of your head and think of meaningful lyrics while doing so. That's why battle rhymes are used; most are cliched, but if you can think of some good shit on the spot, you'll get the crowd on your side.

Oh no, I totally suppressed this one...!!!

[alexandra]

i agree with most of you, heart attack "music" a.k.a. techno gotta go. and what-ever-genre-Slipknot-and-look-alike-bands-are.

edit; 99% of Jazz is POO.
CHLOE! *slaps*

you'll change your mind one day, MARK MY WORDS.

[afronaut]

Yeah, Coltrane or Mingus or Davis have absolutely nothing on Interpol, man. Like, nothing, dude. Interpol have really pioneered music, dog. And they can really fuckin play their instruments like a motherfucker. I mean, they've totally revolutionized the role of reverb in rock music, bro. And they've totally created and pioneered like multiple new forms and styles of music. Shit, has Davis ever done that? Heck no, man. Heck no. Interpol are art, mandude. Totally original and revolutionary. Jazz is just cheap bubblegum music that talentless hacks go to when they cant get a gig. Right. Exactly.

Okay Lexy, fine, I'll check out some of the Jazz names here, if it means that much.

But in all seriousness, though be it a gay reason, I think it's psychological. I grew up in a pub where jazz bands would play and it'd keep me awake. Bear in mind I was about six years old. It's a naff excuse, but I think I link jazz to plain fatigue as a result of it keeping me up.

Now I live in a house, I'll give it one more shot. :rolleyes:

I still maintain that ska sucks hard donk balls though.

[Sandinista!]

The new kind.

[Gareth]

i'm not sure what you all mean by techno but i take it no one has been to a carl craig gig?

[alexandra]

Okay Lexy, fine, I'll check out some of the Jazz names here, if it means that much.
i highly suggest Fats Waller. there's no dixie and shit in his songs.

[Rancid_Beasties]

I enjoy two of the three punk-pop bands you mentioned (NOFX and Me first & the gimme gimmes). They are great live and occcasionally put out some good songs. However, I do hate the more obvious punk pop bands that i'm sure you neglected to mention because its a given that you hate them. ;)

I also wish that techno, boy bands, pop divas ala britney spears, ashlee and jessica simpsons, christina aguilera (yes shes just another one of them) and most modern day R&B acts would self implode. Add to that list most modern day gangsta rap, crunk, really really obscure indie rock that you occcasionaly get on the local stations here that just have no tune whatsoever and rely heavily on experimentation.

I also appreciate, and occasionally enjoy classical, country and jazz....so I would rather that remained contrary to some of your views.

A LOT of underground hip hop contains House and Trance which both are considered dance music. I think you are thinking of Gay Techno (an actual genre of dance music). By the way, a lot of what I heard on Hello Nasty could go under the dance catagory.

Oh my, yeah, Reel Big Fish and No Doubt are just some of the ska crap my sister listens to. It does my bloody nut in. Die!

Both of these bands could barely be considered ska. If you want to hear some good ska you should hear The Slackers. I assure you they sound nothing like Reel Big Fish.

I can't stand 95% of pop. and most stupid "Punk-pop" bands that pride themselves on being ironic (Bowling for Soup, NOFX, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes)


Bowling for soup and Me first and the gimme gimmes are not pop punk. Neither is NOFX really, except for a few songs. C'mon, do you really think Bowling for soup has any elements of punk whatsoever to be called pop-punk? The only reason I go out of my way to say this is because there are actually good bands like Dillinger Four that are pop punk, not shitty pop like bowling for soup.

can you name some the underground hip-hop that contains house and trance? and hello nasty is not even close to comparable to that freestyle club stuff.
