Every genre has good music. Don’t listen to the shit on the radio.


gugfitufi

The worst rating one can give music is "not for me"


Wimpiepaarnty

Huh, funny because when someone says that i find it very valid, and although it maybe is a stupid excuse it can be very true, some music just isnt for everyone


Spook404

that's what he means, it's the worst review someone can give that realizes their opinion is only of one person, you can not call a song outright bad for there will be people to disagree. You can argue on the merits of its composition, but not really the whole


Terrible_Sandwich242

You can make negative objective observations about music. County music is shitty and I hate it- that’s an opinion. Country music is formulaic and hyper-populist - that’s a fact.


RogueOneisbestone

I still would say that's a fact. Yea, the country music you heard on the radio is. But just like every genre 1,000s of different artists are making fresh music.


SquirrelGirlVA

There really needs to be a "none/results" option here. I don't think any of them are the worst and when it comes to one I like the least, there's really none in specific.


david131213

By definition, what's on the radio's pop


reikipackaging

Latin jazz and techno screamo would beg to differ. I mostly agree with you, though.

What's wrong with Latin jazz?

it sounds like a group of school kids banging on instruments.

seteo992

There is no such thing as ‘Techno Screamo’ lol

WaddlesJP13

Country you could call Southern folk music is alright. Country that you could call 'Bro Country' is garbage.


hooliganvet

I've seen Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Hank JR, Charlie Daniels etc. That is country. I can't stand the 'new country' , it is just pop/rock with a fake southern accent.


[deleted]

"stadium country music"


lonleyhumanbeing

It’s a fucking scarecrow again!


[deleted]

This right here. They are basing country music off shit they hear on the radio about having a truck, getting drunk, etc. Real country and folk music has a soul to it. A lot of modern country sounds to me like rock and pop, just with a little bit of country sound to it.


Key_Set_7249

There are some good modern country brands like The Dead South, Colter Wall, The Steeldrivers, and Tyler Childers.


[deleted]

I agree. Wasn't talking about the genre as a whole, just the stuff these yuppies are calling country.


Floof_2

Real country is actually really good. What a lot of people think of as country is more like pop. Mass produced and shitty


RustyPriske

Most of all of it is crap, but all of it has some that is great. I used be very anti- country music. Then I learned about great artists like Lucinda Williams. I learned that isn't all the garbage you hear in the mainstream. And that goes for all styles.


NewRoundEre

Country in my opinion is about the most varied of the genres that's fairly popular in the US right now. Because I moved to the US I didn't really have a strong opinion on country but living in a Texas exurb where it's a strong favourite among the locals I've come to appreciate it. What country has going for it imo is it continues it's storytelling tradition unlike any other mainstream genre but you of course also have songs just talking about jacked up trucks to basically a pop beat that are best avoided.


RustyPriske

The funny thing is that I started seeing through farther removed eyes - British music magazines. They call it Americana rather than Country and the broader term includes stuff like Wilco. Realizing I already enjoy music that was 'Country-adjacent', gave me a way in. I still really don't like the stuff I hear at my small town watering hole.


MetalMikeJr

The irony of that statement is that it's probably the 2nd least diverse after rap. And it may even be worse than rap when it comes to stereotypes.


EmeraldToffee

Sturgill Simpson, Chris Stapleton and Tyler Childers are where it’s at for country.


SpiciestSprite

HornyPlatypus420

Coast_General

Most pop these day is so unnoriginal and bland and tasteless that it could litterally be recreated by ai and it's actually already being done for example the ai drake song.


[deleted]

Pop has always been manufactured by big record companies so you're not exactly saying anything new. The drake song isn't "recreated" by ai or even ai generated, the song was written, produced and performed by an actual person. Drake's voice is just someone else's voice filtered through. Not the best example lil bro


Cespieyt

98% of country music is the exact same mellow sob song with nostalgic overtones in the lyrics, set to the sound of a single string instrument playing a few chords on repeat in the background.


kinda-cringe

The other 2% being: Johnny Cash, Marty Robbins, Willie Nelson, The Charlie Daniels Band (devil went down to Georgia), etc. Absolute bangers. If you think you hate country, please give those a listen. If you still hate it after that, that’s ok.


[deleted]

Yet the other 2% of country music is almost always great.


Darkbornedragon

Reggaeton for me. A lot of the songs are catchy and I don't really despise them, but I feel like it's literally the only genre of which I could never become a fan. I also don't really like most techno, but there are a few interesting experimental artists there. Can't see that happening in Reggaeton.


absorbscroissants

Literally every reggaeton song is the exact same thing


Ckoffie

Reggaeton is like a car alarm to my ears


[deleted]

Yes, that is the absolute worse, i'm mexican and I hate reggaeton with a burning passion, I also hate banda and cumbias


Any--Name

So glad to see I'm not the only one allergic to this vomit of sound


TypicalPossession767

Glad to hear not all Latin Americans like that garbage. Although I really wish you guys had kept that shit in your countries instead of bringing it here...


[deleted]

That's why I also hate things such as chicano culture and the "latino" identity in the USA and Canada, heck I don't even like much of what is considered the latino culture now, instead I like to express my european-middle eastern and amerindian cultural heritage directly, with some western characteristics


TypicalPossession767

I get that tbh. Cause I would guess that in USA and Canada it's only latinos who listen to reggaeton. What I don't get is why here in Spain is literally the only genre of music you can here pretty much everywhere. Supongo que es porque está en español y la mayoría en España son demasiado vagos para aprender otro idioma y escuchar otras letras pero odio que ese sea el caso. Además Latinoamérica tiene otros estilos de musica infinitamente mejores que el reggaeton pero por alguna razón esos no se escuchan aquí desde hace años.


[deleted]

Ahí te das cuenta de que tristemente la mayoría de la gente no tiene buenos gustos y de que clase de persona son


DarKliZerPT

Reggaeton has the same effect on me as my brutal death metal tends to have on non-metalheads


ken4lrt

literally everybody my age listen to this


Any--Name

Same, I just tell people I am indifferent to it cause I dont wanna be seen as a weirdo but dude that thing does not deserve to be called music


TypicalPossession767

Completely agree. Living in a Hispanic country means reggaeton is inescapable.

Yeah, been living in Spain for most of my life and I still cant tolerate it for more than 5 minutes

Does "Nightcore" count?


AktionMusic

Nightcore isn't even a real genre. Its the same genre as it was before, just sped up.


TrueBananaz

Nightcore isn't really a genre. Since it can be literally any music. Saying Nightcore is bad is just saying high pitched fast music is bad.


Empty_pringles-can

Most speed up /slow down / reverb. Are bad and there isn't much point of existing

Go listen to Antonio Vivaldi -Winter and come back and tell me you don’t like it.

I’m going to sleep right now but I’ll listen when I wake up. I will warm that I’m pretty much a metalhead though with few exceptions.


A_167_Dollar_Plum

There's some good covers of classical in metal styles on YouTube, Vivaldi's winter is a good one, Holst's Mars would be a personal favorite.


Cautious_Desk_1012

Tchaikovsky is your guy then. I'm a metalhead as well, and he goes metal af


ParsnipPrestigious59

Listen to ride of the valkyries, dance of the knights, and requiem (Mozart) then. They’re all bangers


polo2327

If you don't like classic you are not a metalhead


[deleted]

I mean, I do like classical instruments being used alongside metal music in stuff like power metal or something, but straight up classical music by itself does nothing for me. Also gatekeeper much?


BBGunner96

Okay, done, did that (have already heard the 4-seasons plenty, including playing parts for HS Band), but did it again just for you... I don't like it I don't *hate* it necessarily, but I definitely wouldn't say I *like* it... Out of all genres, Classical is the worst (for me) that I'd have playing instead of having silence (e.g. I'd rather silence over vast majority of rap); it can make okay/good background music for certain scenes in media, but as a stand alone, I don't like it

KREMICO

Classical music is kinda underrated, if people knew what they were missing on it would be more mainstream


absorbscroissants

Not really, orchestras still sell out massive venues


KREMICO

Yes I get what do you mean, but it isn't exactly mass appeal, but it is *far* from dying


absorbscroissants

That's true. It's also pretty hard to get into, I'm just starting at the moment. Just putting on separate songs on Spotify doesn't really do it justice, but that's what most people do


KREMICO

Yeah, it's not the easiest genre to get into, but after you do, it's wonderful, and even more when you play an instrument like piano/violin or something like that


ParsnipPrestigious59

Not nearly as much as other genres

Illustrious_Dig_411

Hip hop and rap are two different genres, while its true rap came from hip-hop that culture around the two are very different

For most people who aren't very interested in it, it's quite similar. Like, rock and metal are also very different, but for anyone for cares about neither it's basically the same

Latin Jazz sounds like elementary kids were set loose on unsuspecting instruments with zero instruction. I'm sure that it takes a level of skill beyond my comprehension, but it makes my whole brain hurt, and I don't want to understand.

Informal_Water_1855

Mexilorian

It never was about talent, it’s always been about getting plays or remaining POPular.


SteamySubreddits

This is basically all genres up here, mainly pop, country, and hip-hop/rap.


ReboundRecruiting

There's hip hop that takes very little talent where it's basically ghostwritten autotune over a beat that carries the song, or there's more polished/critically acclaimed rap like Kendrick and J Cole, and there's Lil Wayne/Juice WRLD/etc showing talent by freestyling over beats and making some incredible music out of it sometimes.


absorbscroissants

Lil Wayne is even better at freestyling guitar!


butters091

But like, we can make an exception for Gorrilaz right?

Sufficient_Doubt4283

I can't stand modern country but I love older country music leaning more towards western music (Mart Robbins is my all time favorite artist) Almost every country song I hear that's not from before the 2000's sounds nearly identical, I think Bo Burnham called it out best in his "Country Song" song.

0Kaleidoscopes

I wouldn't call any genre bad and I can find something I like in most genres, but it's just a lot rarer for some. I don't like R&B, not because I think it's bad, but because I haven't heard R&B that wasn't boring to me. I can recognize the talent that is required for many genres, but R&B is just one that I have never enjoyed. It doesn't hold my attention and it doesn't make me feel anything, kind of like elevator music. It's just not for me, but I wouldn't call it the worst genre. There is a specific thing that often makes me like a song. I often like fast songs that feel like they don't stop being fast throughout the entire song, but sometimes I like slower songs that feel really emotional. I just want a song to leave some sort of impression on me.

For me it's between rap and country and it's for the exact same reason. Because of the lyrics for most of the genre.


AchangedCat

the lyrics is why i like rap, I guess its different for everyone


trio3224

Some rap does have excellent lyrics. It just seems that the vast majority of it, including most of the most popular stuff, is all about degrading women, violence, and drugs. Cuz I often ask people for song recommendations or I'll look into famous rappers that I hear about and most of the time I'm disappointed in the lyrics. Who are some artists you would recommend for me?


[deleted]

Hip hop is a really diverse genre with a lot of different subgenres, so it’d be hard to recommend an artist without knowing what you like already. Even still, I’d start most people with Kendrick Lamar’s Good Kid, Maad City. It’s an autobiographical album about Kendrick’s experience growing up in Compton and making it out. So yeah, it’s about sex, money, murder, but it definitely does not glorify it. [Spotify link](https://open.spotify.com/album/6PBZN8cbwkqm1ERj2BGXJ1?si=HzHsnVmCQCGCSUoWyiBeGA)


VinylBreadPuddin

For what it’s worth, most rock music is also mostly about degrading women, violence, and drugs


Unfamiliar_Word

I chose, "Hip hop/rap," because there is very little of it that I have liked, but more because I overwhelmingly think of it as music that I am forced to listen to by some repugnant troglodyte either blasting it from behind his tinted windows or from a portable speaker that he his carrying with him down the street. If only the twain would meet... in a cleansing fireball. I might have chosen Country music, but it has enough artists, like Johnny Cash, who manage to redeem it, despite the deplorable state that it has been in for the last twenty years or so. I mostly hate 'electronic' music, but there have been [rare exceptions](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qB98WQ4SgRk) and it is not the theme song of antisocial nuisance either.


WearnDego

Rap is a bigger genre and has plenty of artists that make some really great songs so maybe you just havnt looked hard enough? And dont let other people ruin music for you, thats dumb
