People like Hip Hop because it makes them feel cool for listening to it.

Mine is: I don't really listen to music

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

That rap is absolute garbage. For reasons I can't explain it makes me unbelievably angry to have to listen to. It probably has something to do with a combination of my anxiety and sensitivity to loud noises, but I don't know. I do like metal, although I don't like it particularly loud.

90% of all radio songs lately have been horrendous covers of old songs, with some of them literally being just that old song, but with a cookie cutter beat under them. The other 10% are just said cookie cutter beats with some generic singer doing an annoying voice over them.

Popular music is becoming more creatively bankrupt than it ever has been.

This may not be an unpopular in the outside world but somehow I bet it will be here, the vast majority of metal is just straight noise and incomprehensible yelling to me. I do enjoy when metal songs are covered by bluegrass bands though

I just don't listen to Ska because never feels like the time. But whenever I've heard it I've actually liked it.

Bands that title their album random symbols (or a series of them) are assholes.

I'm looking at KMFDM (can't even encode "symbols" accurately) and Justice (their first album, often called latin cross). Both great albums that suffer from fucking horrible visibility because of their shit names.

I think that's pretty widely agreed upon - ditto with KISS.

Trent Reznor's original version of Hurt is better than Johnny Cash's version, which is terrible. I strongly dislike him bringing in the religious aspect by changing the lyrics and I just plain don't like his voice.

Yeah, I said it.

Most unpopular among my friends would be something along the lines of "metal is the best music" or "electronic music/techno sux, because it's all the same".

I like to troll a bit with them, but honestly I do like me some metal. It's so variable, there's progressive Opeth on one side, brutal machinegun Cannibal Corpse on the other, insane meatgrinder Mayhem on the third and groovy jumpy Pantera on fourth. And we're only at the beginning. But I get that some (most) people find it all too heavy. Their loss, not mine ;-)

I can't stand Queen, even though I have respect for their skill. (my highschool had an "arts program" and they bombarded us with musicals, Queen, and some sort of Queen musical)

NIN does nothing for me, and I've tried several albums and owned one. It's just.. nothing soup.

95% of music in any genre is garbage, but you can find the 5% gems if you go looking for it.

There is very little bad music in the world, only wrong ways to "music" to it. Some is meant to be listened to, some danced to, some bonded over to, some created and some thought about.

I generally don't have any interest in music... I mean, is fine some of the time, but I certainly wouldn't go out of my way for it. I also don't think it should be allowed as "background noise" in public places. It can have profound effects on your mood without you even realizing it's happening.

IMO, obviously.

Nickleback - Silver Side Up is a pretty decent album. Sure, that song is annoying and extremely overplayed, but I quite like the rest of the album.

I must admit that beyond that particular album I don't know much about them, so if you claim that the rest of their discography is garbage, I'll take your word for it.

SRV is the Steven Segal of guitar.

The Kinks are better than The Beatles
