+300 It's strange how people say, I like all music except <genre here> because, there are so many different songs, artists, and styles in that one genre, that there has to be an exception. People can't justly pass off a genre of music as 'bad' and really should keep an open mind about it, amirite?

Some people just really don't like/understand a particular genre. I am personally not fond of heavy metal, because it is far too loud and brash and I prefer to be able to sing along with the lyrics.

And it's equally strange how people say they don't like any music that wasn't made in the '70's or earlier.

I personally dont like country music... of any kind, I have heard a lot of different kinds of country songs and singers and it just doesn't appeal to me at all. And even if there is an "exception" like you said, it doesnt mean you like the genre, just that one song or artist.

if there is an exception, sure it doesn't mean you like the genre but you can't say "i hate ALL country... except Carrie Underwood... and the Dixie Chicks... and ..." It's the same thing as liking a genre. You say that you like the whole genre but there are songs that you don't like in that genre too. It's about not grouping genres and completely excluding types of music because you don't like the mainstream version of it.

This is how I used to be. I wouldn't listen to ANYTHING country or rap. But then I discovered cool little country sub-genres and older rap music. Now I'm open to anything.

I see your point, but I very much doubt that there are any screamo "musicians", if you can call them such, that would ever appeal to me.

New Rap is total crap, but Old School Rap isn't bad, so don't go saying all Rap is bad. (Coming from a metalhead)

I have an open mind for most music, but I will never listen to polka. I don't like the style of that genre in general. Anything else is fair game.

Well, it makes me feel better when I'm mad :P and any other time, honestly. But that's probably just me, I'm odd XD

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Lol, I think that's why a lot of my friends say they listen to it too. You're not odd, as far as I can tell. Just when I'm mad, I don't like to feed my anger, I like to move on asap

I have yet to come across a rap song that I like.

It's not that someone simply passes off a certain genre as "bad", and refuses to listen to it. It has to do more with what a person's taste in music is. You can't honestly say that you love EVERY genre, and listen to them all on a regular basis. There's always that one that no matter the artist/song, you're just not into. I, for one, don't really like country. I don't think it's "bad", I just don't particularly love it. I can tolerate most songs/artists, but it's not exactly my cup of tea, you know? But that's just my opinion. :)

heavy metal, and country are two genres w/ no exceptions for me.

RAP IS CRAP! ;) haha... but no I'm good on some Polka. Accordian's just don't quite do it for me.

I'm not into a good majority of Rap. I have a few random exceptions, but not many, so it's easier for me to simply say that I don't really listen to it. I don't even like all the songs from some of my favorite artists.

Actually, nothing good has come out of the rap genre.

I find it especially amusing when people say 'I like all kinds of music' and you could sample tons of music to them, and nine out of ten times, they will not like what you show them. Hypocrisy.

You probably haven't heard 'manele' then.Good for you.

I absolutely hate rap and screamo, no exceptions. I don't like a single note from either genre

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Just because you don't like something doesn't make it "bad" it just means you don't like it. I'm sure there are some merits to rap and metal, but to me, it sounds like a garbage disposal with a spoon stuck in it. But other people like it, so they can listen to it as long as they don't force me to.

I will never be attracted to Metal or Screamo, end of story.
