Country and teeny-pop off the top of my head.

Country is probably the only genre I can't stand period. Anything else I can at least tolerate in small doses.

I am of the belief that there is something good to be found in every genre of music. I used to be close minded and refused to listen to genres such as hip hop, electronic music, indie, etc., and then I stopped being stupid, changed my point of view and dug past the shit pile at the top towards the gold buried below and I've discovered countless new innovative and creative artists because of my expanded taste in music.

That being said, two genres I generally don't bother with are teeny-pop and prog metal that doesn't make an attempt to actually be progressive.

Christian music offends me.


Seriously though, doom anything annoys me. Maybe it's because I'm a drummer and I've auditioned for bands like that and I literally almost fell asleep playing it.

I never really disregard a genre completely. I've found that there is good music in every genre.

For example, I used to not like country music until I found My Morning Jacket. Granted, they're more indie-rock than country, but the country stuff they do they do very very well.


That said, I have not found a single metalcore band that I like. I have given the subgenre a fair chance several times, and I even bought Colors_Live by Between the Buried and Me. I find there is a lot of cool stuff in their music, but a lot of it just does not sit well with me.

Electropop and if anything listenable is ever created in this genre, the world will fall apart.

I'm going to refine my taste of country and say modern country music. The old stuff is awesome, the new stuff is just so..I don't know. Samey is the word I guess.

-Most rap and hip-hop. There's some stuff I absolutely love, but the vast majority of the material I've gone through I haven't liked.

-Some country is really good, but a lot of it I don't care for.
 
-Pop-punk really annoys me most of the time too, mainly because of the vocal style most of the bands use.

Of course, some of my favorite artists come from those genres too.

The problem is that you got Colors. It's about 2% metalcore, 98% sleep medicine.

I agree with this. But I still am going to throw out the -core subgenre. Aside from the small handful of bands I found enjoyable from this subgenre, -core bands are among one of the only metal subgenres that get me completely flaccid.

Also country I found generally unlistenable, rap either bores me or pisses me off and pop music comes off as boring and uninspired to me.

So yes, all of these do nothing for me.

Sorry Sigz, I listened to Ice, tried listening to Saviour but got killed by autotune, and no... this isn't an exception...

I think you've either had bad luck or... I don't know. I can see why someone wouldn't be a fan of doom (I love dramatic/monumental music, so it's definitely my cup of tea), but it's definitely not bad enough to be on the "always bad" list.

Well, according to a recent thread, all progmetal is un-progressive, and every progmetal band that's progressive isn't progmetal, so... :lol

 :facepalm:

Noise.

I was at a point once where I was open to everything but noise and fucking hated it... but, I don't know, as I started to get into more electronic music (such as Venetian Snares an Aphex Twin), I found that when I went back to some noise tracks, they're weren't as unlistenable as before (despite still being much different). Not something I'd ever be a huge fan of still, but it's nice to have in the background sometimes.

Not sure what that has to do with anything, just felt like sharing my thoughts on that genre :P

It's not bad enough to be always bad. It's bad enough to generally turn me off. As the thread title states.

Really, nothing. I can find appreciation in every genre out there.

It's not the genre that turns me off, it's generally the artists within that genre. If there is a good artist, doesn't matter what they're classified as, I like them.  :tup
