One of our fellow users suggested that there's not nearly enough speaking of one's own mind these days. So I thought it would be interesting to give people an opportunity to voice a negativie opinion. Out of all genres of music, which do you dislike the most? For me, there are a few that I really don't enjoy. Pop music is one of them. Dubstep is another. But the genre I would not be sorry to see disappear into total obscurity is EDM. I find it to be music that exists only to promote nightclub life. I like conceptual music the best; albums that tell a story from one song to the next. So music that exists solely for drunk people to dance to is about as far from that as it gets.
But what about you guys? What genre or subgenre would you least miss to see wiped from the annals of musical history?
Rap,hip hop,discordant noisy music, a lot of,but not all,country music,punk, auto tuned vocals
Some rap and hip hop I like, some is really good when you actually listen to the lyrics, look out for Akala and The Hip Hop Shakespere Company, he manages to bring Shakespeare to a whole new audience. One time I saw him he was playing with Nitin Sawney and did one about a young man who finds himself in prison in a bare room with no stimulation when somebody puts a book through the hatch in the door. The book is The Complete Works of Sharespeare, he takes and starts reading it for want of anything better to do, he thinks he won't understand it, it won't speak to him, a young urban black man, but he finds Romeo and Julliet and starts reading and finds this old white dead guy from hundreds of years ago understands his world of gangs, turf wars etc. It's a really good piece of writing and an innovative way of engaging people with things they'd never have looked at. I'm not a massive Shakespear fan, but even I got into this. Good rap and Hip Hop is spoken word poetry to music, like all these things theres a lot of crap out there, but the good stuff is brilliant.
