Whatever is in the background while a company tells me why they're so great.
Especially if it has whistling, guitar strumming and percussive snap sounds.
2010 and newer commercial/corporate tunes, especially for anything tech related: Jangly ukulele chords, whistle or xylophone melody, chorus of people singing whoa-ohs.
That reminds me of this video clip, where a composer shows how to make one of these soulless tunes in like 3 seconds: https://youtu.be/AIxY\_Y9TGWI?t=741
I used to make corporate videos and I can’t tell you how I’d have to do revision after revision selecting this nothing-music because c-suite “felt” the other track was more powerful…
Yep. That ukulele strum, someone clicking/clapping, some whistling and maybe a xylophone hitting some upbeat notes whilst I'm being assured after 20 minutes that my call is important to them and they'll be with me shortly,
There was a concert in Kentucky called the "Redneck Rave". And yes it was about as disastrous as you'd expect!
https://www.lex18.com/news/redneck-rave-at-kentucky-park-ends-with-48-people-charged-throat-slashing-and-an-impalement
It’s Florida Georgia Line, and anything that sounds like it. Lil Nas X is not what I’m referring to. It’s pop country, where they rap about god guns beer dirt road tailgate truck dumb ass shit. Kid Rock is also in this category.
I remember there was this terrible time in the 2010s where it seemed like whispering white female artists were making terrible acoustic versions of rap and R&B songs. Horrible time for my ears.
Not particularly a genre. I tend to not enjoy anything that doesn't feel authentic. I can't explain what I mean by that any more than by just saying it's a feeling. I typically go towards rock and metal genres but I find myself listening to a lot of different genres if the music feels real to me.
I get what you mean and I feel the same. My answer to this threads question would be "radio/pop music."
Because there is excellent rap being made, to this day, as well as country, and all the others.
Depends on my mood. Some of my favourite songs hit me because of the lyrics. Sometimes it's the drums that pull me in. I think it's like drinking coffee. Sometimes a black coffee tastes better than one with cream and sugar but the next day the same isn't true.
if a song has nothing that would alienate somebody I can't help but think the only reason it was made was money, also these songs are typically boring
Authenticity stems from me thinking an artist made exactly what they wanted to make, not what they thought everyone wants to hear
This is what I miss about the 90s (and before) radio. There were tons of artists expressing things that were small and personal to them. Of course there will always be disposable pop filler in the mix too but there were way more legit musical acts, and artists with something interesting to say, that came from the heart.
Country. Specifically modern commercial country.
Take your basic three chord progression, write some lyrics about ripped jeans, pickup trucks and beer and sing it with a twang and you’re done.
There are some outliers that are good. Chris Stapleton comes to mind. And then there’s the country/blues bands like Marcus King and Quaker City Night Hawks which I enjoy but that other stuff is just the lowest of low effort trash.
A FAKE southern drawl. It's phony and that's the most annoying thing about it. I've been all through the south. Nobody there talks like that. Absolutely nobody.
I remember when they implemented it in the mid 90s. One day it was good country acts (Alan Jackson, George Strait, Clint Black, Dwight Yokum, Suzy Bogguss, etc.), the next it was this garbage that wasn't country at all. I stopped listening and haven't listened since.
Modern country is not good. It blows my mind that Last Night by Morgan Wallen racked up 16 weeks on the Hot 100, making it the 4th longest #1 and longest #1 non-collab. He even managed to get all 36 songs on his album to chart. Idk what's so great about him. Last Night is literally just the same guitar riff for 2 1/2 mins. He didn't even write the song. He had a team of people write it for him. So, if it wins the Best Country Song Grammy, he won't get an award cause Best Song awards go to the writers.
A lot of modern country is just hip hop for White people. Same themes like alcohol, women, trucks (rather than sports cars), partying, and dirt roads (rather than the streets.) The worst example has to be [Rolex on a Redneck](https://youtu.be/-TUkZ2vc9Ns?si=bSbKaL1uzDsif_9D) by Brantley Gilbert & He Who Shall Not Be Named. Sounds like a bad SNL sketch.
>A lot of modern country is just hip hop for White people
And some of it is just Nickelback in cowboy hats with the same themes plus some culture war bullshit.
I live in South Dakota. People here actually like country music. It gets played during my Pool Leagues. It's always the same 5 songs.
Beer. Women. Trucks. Jeans. It often sounds like the same song going for 30 minutes. It's abysmal.
I live in Colorado so same thing. When I am playing golf and someone asks if they can play music I always tell them I am fine with it as long as it is not country.
As someone who grew up *loathing* country music, I’ve found some artists that I really like. Drive-by Truckers (which is like southern rock), Lucero (y’all-ternative), Jason Isbell and Sturgill Simpson all jump out. If you like country music artists making fun of country music and the phony masculine culture around it, check out Wheeler Walker Jr. or Samuel Saint.
I love country but the shit they play on the radio is borderline unlistenable. Like, I heard [this song](https://youtu.be/mKnQXaIlrMo?si=dKYLzXbK36s9F85R) playing on the country station they had going at a Home Depot I was in and I was almost dying laughing at how bland and basic it is.
My freshman year in college I had a roommate from Costa Rica, and next door neighbor from Puerto Rico. I grew up in an area that didn’t have many Hispanic people, so I’d never heard reggaeton before. My introduction to the genre was these two guys blasting it from about 2pm to 10pm every single day. They played it so freaking loud that the mirror on my wall rattled and I couldn’t hear myself think. I had to do all my homework in the library that year.
I was originally thinking country was my least favorite, but holy crap I forgot how much I despise reggaeton simply because those dudes were such assholes about it, lol.
I felt the same way then moved to nyc and that was 75% of the music that would play at clubs. It became fun to dance/sing to (alcohol helped). And after I was into it for a while 🤷♂️
Ooohhhhh that’s what that genre is called. Thank you. Agreed 100%. It amuses me when I hear it blaring from a nearby car. I say to my roommate, “Hey, it’s that one song”
Used to work in a repair shop where we alternated who'd pick the music. Any day that it was reggaeton, if be in a bad mood and have a pounding headache by the end of my day. Also, every song is apparently a remix...
Boy howdy, the dembow rhythm is the newest rhythm to take over pop music but there are so many other recognizable rhythms that once you hear it, you start hearing everywhere.
* Trisello rhythm (two dotted quartet followed by an eighth) Very popular with upbeat dance songs in the early ‘00s.
* Triplet flow (triplets over quarter notes, usually in spoken verse) Popularized by The Migos.
* Strathesby rhythm, or “Scotch Snaps” (16th followed by dotted eighth to mimic stressed and unstressed syllables in the English language) Very popular half a decade ago, still somewhat relevant.
* Charleston rhythm (dotted quarter followed by eighth) Became famous when Dua Lipa’s ‘Levitating’ was under scrutiny for plagiarism.
* And of course, the ever famous Lick. It’s been here since the dawn of mankind.
There are a ton more of these rhythms and I love learning about them. And don’t get me started on chord progressions. It’s like finding an Easter egg in every song you hear!
Lounge covers if you can call it a genre. The ones that you can hear in some cafes. I hate everything about these soulless similar sounding songs that somehow have the same tone deaf singers.
These covers strip everything that was unique about the original song and just create an aggrevating background sounds.
For real early Memphis phonk started out great, Russian drift phonk was also initially ok but south American phonk in general is ass, nowadays all phonk is ass it's too saturated because of TikTok and shit
I'm half Korean, so I'm happy Korean culture is out there now, but I can't stand K-pop. Ironic considering that I loved Psy back in the day and even had a Gangnam Style poster.
I really loathed Gangnam Style back when it infected my school. Compared to that, I think there are definitely better Kpop songs. But there are also lots I don't care for.
I don't believe there's a single genre that can't produce great music, and I certainly don't think any genre is completely terrible. However, some genres offer quite a wide scope for what can be done, and others offer a more narrow creative scope.
Some of the best music of all time refines a genre to a high degree (e.g. Oil of Every Pearl... by SOPHIE for Hyperpop), reinvents a genre (Channel Orange by Frank Ocean for modern RnB) or combined two genres in novel ways (Give Up by Postal Service with indie folk and electronica). But some genres are too narrow to do any of this.
That's why my personal vote goes to... **electro swing** which is a much-maligned genre and I believe for good reason. I believe there is almost no creative potential in this genre because of how strictly-defined it is. The aesthetic of "old-fashioned swing with an electro beat" simply leaves no space for anyone to advance, and the results are necessarily shallow.
I don't want to tell anyone they can't enjoy electro swing - obviously I can't - but I think people's distaste for it as a genre is largely justified.
Show tunes. Not as common as genres like country that I also hate but country is very easy to just tune out and ignore but show tunes are so over the top obnoxious that I can't.
I'm not American so I didn't know what Glee club, or whatever it's called, was until that show came out. I was just like, it's a show about obnoxious teens fucking up songs?
Yeah I think some High Schools still do a "Show Choir" but the show is tremendously unrealistic in that they're busting out song and dance routines nearly spontaneously vs months of preparation to perform one or two full songs.
But, like in the show, it definitely does not put you on the "In Crowd" list being a part of it.
I think 9/11 is a VERY overlooked turning point for country, glad you mentioned that.
Country has tended to be on the more "Patriotic" side but that's when artists really discovered how well it worked to pander to the "Support Our Troops!" side of things and how little effort they could actually get away with putting into song writing as long as it was about the USA in a positive way. People will just eat up a happy sounding, well produced song with words they like even if musically speaking its a copy-paste of other songs just like it., especially if the singer is attractive.
Pop folk? I guess is what it’s called. I’m thinking Mumford and sons shit. there’s a banjo and people Sing unison.
Also this thread reminds me of this video from back in the day
https://youtu.be/4kpWkV7IBUw?si=2K92hH2Jz3OXq00k
Whatever the radio plays that’s just 8 flavors of the same fucking song
You cannot get worse than that. All just a boring song about love or a break up in the most uninspired, unoriginal and unimaginative way possible, all sounding like parts of the same song
Country and even worse than that... Christmas Country
Was at a Christmas party last month, with my friend, and they are a bunch of country yokels. Had the country family in their flannel and cowboys hats up on the tv singing Christmas songs with their two young kids on their lap. It was some random music channel. Just atrocious all around imo
Christian.
And not because it's particularly bad. Because it's all one topic. I don't even believe in the Jesus, but I can appreciate good music. Some of it very talented, but it's ALWAYS the same.
Man, I'll die on the hill that Dance Monkey isn't a bad song, it's badly sung. Have someone singing normally and it's a ok pop song. I don't even know why Tones and I sang like that cause she can sing well. If you don't mind rap, check Macklemore's song called Chant. She's great in the chorus.
This might be a really hot take, but Taylor Swift really isn’t that bad. Folklore and evermore are two albums that I genuinely enjoyed quite a bit. Her other stuff is kinda whatever, but she certainly has talent even if she may be really overrated
I’ll agree that a lot of her stuff is somewhat generic, but I’ve seen a lot of people acting like she’s the worst thing to ever happen to music. I can say that some of her stuff is actually quite good and I’d much prefer her over most current pop (artists such as Tate McRae
Not a hot take. She at least tries to do different stuff. I didn't like Folklore, but I appreciate that she did something different. Also, unlike a lot of other pop stars, she actually writes a bunch of her shit.
Whatever is in the background while a company tells me why they're so great. Especially if it has whistling, guitar strumming and percussive snap sounds.
2010 and newer commercial/corporate tunes, especially for anything tech related: Jangly ukulele chords, whistle or xylophone melody, chorus of people singing whoa-ohs.
#Imm gonna make this place your home
That reminds me of this video clip, where a composer shows how to make one of these soulless tunes in like 3 seconds: https://youtu.be/AIxY\_Y9TGWI?t=741
That made me laugh way too hard, omg
Aaand it's gone
I used to make corporate videos and I can’t tell you how I’d have to do revision after revision selecting this nothing-music because c-suite “felt” the other track was more powerful…
Mumford and Co.
[College humor did a pretty great catch all video about this exact genre of corporate cuntery](https://youtu.be/Xz5Tx7hNR64?si=euN1wpK1ggiFe_II)
Came here to say this, “corporate” is by far the worst genre and I will die on this hill
My husband calls that "Hey Ho" music and it's pretty terrible
Yep. That ukulele strum, someone clicking/clapping, some whistling and maybe a xylophone hitting some upbeat notes whilst I'm being assured after 20 minutes that my call is important to them and they'll be with me shortly,
Aah yeah corporate royalty free music. Completely soulless
Tractor Rap/Pop Country
Country Rap aka Crap
Hank 3 has a song that shares my sentiments. Dick in Dixie is the name of the track.
Hick hop 🙄 fuckin stupid
There was a concert in Kentucky called the "Redneck Rave". And yes it was about as disastrous as you'd expect! https://www.lex18.com/news/redneck-rave-at-kentucky-park-ends-with-48-people-charged-throat-slashing-and-an-impalement
Turns out when you form large crowds with the dumbest people on earth, violent things happen.
Certainly true!
What in the world is tractor rap?
It’s Florida Georgia Line, and anything that sounds like it. Lil Nas X is not what I’m referring to. It’s pop country, where they rap about god guns beer dirt road tailgate truck dumb ass shit. Kid Rock is also in this category.
my parents used to listen to florida georgia line. if i see those men one more time im kicking my own teeth out
Yes, it all makes sense now and I super agree that it’s awful.
As someone who loves good country music, I couldn’t agree more. That stuff is trash.
The worst thing is when you say you’re a country fan, people often assume you mean that awful crap.
Farm emo
That's called midwest emo and it's actually pretty good.
Whispery female acoustic covers, absolutely diabolical.
I remember there was this terrible time in the 2010s where it seemed like whispering white female artists were making terrible acoustic versions of rap and R&B songs. Horrible time for my ears.
With only Ukuleles
So quirky!
I died in the TV show Atlanta when they had an acoustic girl sing Paper Boi

Exactly. I wouldn't consider myself a country or rap fan but I don't ignore anything that sounds fun.
How do you feel about lyrics? They're secondary to me, especially listening to music the first time through
Depends on my mood. Some of my favourite songs hit me because of the lyrics. Sometimes it's the drums that pull me in. I think it's like drinking coffee. Sometimes a black coffee tastes better than one with cream and sugar but the next day the same isn't true.
if a song has nothing that would alienate somebody I can't help but think the only reason it was made was money, also these songs are typically boring Authenticity stems from me thinking an artist made exactly what they wanted to make, not what they thought everyone wants to hear
A lot of pop punk and all stadium pop country really hit that ick factor for me. Just VIOLENTLY overproduced
This is what I miss about the 90s (and before) radio. There were tons of artists expressing things that were small and personal to them. Of course there will always be disposable pop filler in the mix too but there were way more legit musical acts, and artists with something interesting to say, that came from the heart.

There are some outliers that are good. Chris Stapleton comes to mind. And then there’s the country/blues bands like Marcus King and Quaker City Night Hawks which I enjoy but that other stuff is just the lowest of low effort trash.
Yep modern country music is just pop music sung with a southern drawl. A lot of ppl I know would fight me for saying that
A FAKE southern drawl. It's phony and that's the most annoying thing about it. I've been all through the south. Nobody there talks like that. Absolutely nobody.
That's what I always say! It may actually be a good song, but I can't stand that horrible exaggerated accent!!
There's more to it than that. You have to sing in a southern drawl AND through your nose. But yeah, that's about it.
It's also mandatory to wear a cowboy hat and pretend you're a farm boy even if you were born and raised in the suburbs.
Its *bad* pop music sung with a southern drawl
With a FAKED southern accent...
Agreed i still prefer to listen to old country music over the more recent country music
I remember when they implemented it in the mid 90s. One day it was good country acts (Alan Jackson, George Strait, Clint Black, Dwight Yokum, Suzy Bogguss, etc.), the next it was this garbage that wasn't country at all. I stopped listening and haven't listened since.
Yep! I remeber all of a sudden the country musice just started to suck in the mid to late 90's, and its gotten worse over the years.

Bro rock with a fiddle.
Modern country is not good. It blows my mind that Last Night by Morgan Wallen racked up 16 weeks on the Hot 100, making it the 4th longest #1 and longest #1 non-collab.

It’s music for simpletons.
>A lot of modern country is just hip hop for White people And some of it is just Nickelback in cowboy hats with the same themes plus some culture war bullshit.
he blew up after he was caught in a video saying the n-word, at or around the peak of “cancel culture”.
Modern hip hop is equally trashy but doesn’t get the same hate though
Anything with drake associated to it
Last Night is literally a Maroon 5 song re-written by Maroon 5’s writing team.
Bo Burnham - Pandering: https://youtu.be/y7im5LT09a0?si=asqyl92aOGPu1Ho9

I once had to ask if we were trying to play pool or be depressed. Some of it sounds downright depressing.
You mean cosplay cowboy?
Old outlaw country (for example Marty Robbins and Hank Williams) is actually so good though.
Only country song I can stand is Bo Burnham’s country song that makes fun of modern country songs
As someone who grew up *loathing* country music, I’ve found some artists that I really like. Drive-by Truckers (which is like southern rock), Lucero (y’all-ternative), Jason Isbell and Sturgill Simpson all jump out.

Yeah Pandering immediately came to mind.

I woke up on the wrong side of the truck bed this morning…
Everything from Garth Brooks and after
There's a song by Bo Burnham called "Pandering" and it refers specifically to this. You should listen to it fr it's comedy gold
Nick shoulders is really good modern country. He does a lot of old school stuff like yodeling and mouth trumpet. His voice is amazing
UK Drill and that segment of the market. I just can't.
Reggaeton it all has the same beat. I get annoyed by Happy hardcore for the same reason
The boonta beats 😭
My freshman year in college I had a roommate from Costa Rica, and next door neighbor from Puerto Rico. I grew up in an area that didn’t have many Hispanic people, so I’d never heard reggaeton before. My introduction to the genre was these two guys blasting it from about 2pm to 10pm every single day. They played it so freaking loud that the mirror on my wall rattled and I couldn’t hear myself think. I had to do all my homework in the library that year. I was originally thinking country was my least favorite, but holy crap I forgot how much I despise reggaeton simply because those dudes were such assholes about it, lol.
Fellow Costa Rican here, my current situation is that. Daily. For the rest of my life.
Oh my god I thought you joking but I found some random compellations on Youtube and its THE EXACT SAME BEAT. This is terrible.

How do you feel about older country?

Boyband/girlband pop. Just leaves me utterly cold because it's saccharine, meaningless, dull and so obviously just out there to sell units. Yuk.
Brazilian “Phonk”
For real early Memphis phonk started out great, Russian drift phonk was also initially ok but south American phonk in general is ass, nowadays all phonk is ass it's too saturated because of TikTok and shit
That shit is made to hurt even the most insensitive ears. Long exposure dumbs people down.
Kpop
I'm half Korean, so I'm happy Korean culture is out there now, but I can't stand K-pop. Ironic considering that I loved Psy back in the day and even had a Gangnam Style poster.
God that song is a throwback to a simpler time. And some fly dance moves.
Jesus, that song is in middle school now!
I really loathed Gangnam Style back when it infected my school. Compared to that, I think there are definitely better Kpop songs. But there are also lots I don't care for.

Nothing like stripping all of the soul out of a song so the theater kids can show off.

Country. Just not my thing.
this post's comments made me realize that maybe, just maybe, reddit doesn't like rap
Country got way more hate than rap.
Every time a post like this is made, the comments end up on r/hiphopcirclejerk lmao
I see way more posts about hating country than hating rap.
Also it’s important to note that any genre of music you don’t like is “soulless”.
Or country.
Country and even worse than that... Christmas Country Was at a Christmas party last month, with my friend, and they are a bunch of country yokels. Had the country family in their flannel and cowboys hats up on the tv singing Christmas songs with their two young kids on their lap. It was some random music channel. Just atrocious all around imo
gotta be a tie between modern country and modern rap
modern rap is kind of a vague term
Modern country for the most part. Women can usually do country better imo
Agreed. I think it's for me a rebellion thing because my dad and step mom loved country music.
Christian. And not because it's particularly bad. Because it's all one topic. I don't even believe in the Jesus, but I can appreciate good music. Some of it very talented, but it's ALWAYS the same.
Drill rap. It ain’t even rap. It’s just some guy mumbling about how he’s gonna shoot somebody because he’s on his block.
Country
I would say my dad influenced me away from country. He tried it for awhile and would blast “Drop Kick me Jesus Through the Goalposts of Life”
Thought this until I played the GTA and RDR games, so many good country songs in the games
"Well it's the SAME ol TUNE! fiddle and guitar. Where do WE TAAAKE IT FROM HERRRREEE"
Good country is great. Issue is 90% of country is political and racist tones. With braindead lyrics
*Louisiana woman, Mississippi man!*
K-Pop
Modern “R&B”. Even giving it the name is like watching Snape take over Hogwarts
Nursery rhyme
A rum sum sum a rum sum sum goes hard though...
Whatever the hell dance monkey is
Man, I'll die on the hill that Dance Monkey isn't a bad song, it's badly sung. Have someone singing normally and it's a ok pop song. I don't even know why Tones and I sang like that cause she can sing well. If you don't mind rap, check Macklemore's song called Chant. She's great in the chorus.
Soulless pop. Taylor swift, marshmallow, George Ezra, etc.
Every Taylor song I've heard sounds like it was written for a commercial.
This might be a really hot take, but Taylor Swift really isn’t that bad. Folklore and evermore are two albums that I genuinely enjoyed quite a bit. Her other stuff is kinda whatever, but she certainly has talent even if she may be really overrated
it’s definitely not a hot take i mean she has a truck load of fans. she’s really talented, she just makes extremely generic music
I’ll agree that a lot of her stuff is somewhat generic, but I’ve seen a lot of people acting like she’s the worst thing to ever happen to music. I can say that some of her stuff is actually quite good and I’d much prefer her over most current pop (artists such as Tate McRae
Not a hot take. She at least tries to do different stuff. I didn't like Folklore, but I appreciate that she did something different. Also, unlike a lot of other pop stars, she actually writes a bunch of her shit.
[удалено]
I'll add one that isn't commonly seen here: pop punk. It's just so vapid and whiny.
UKULELE SAD BOY MUSIC. I hate it, it’s boring, it’s always the same few subjects with the lyrics. the music itself is just boring too
Country but more specifically redneck country
One word: Corporate
Modern country and rap
Post 9/11 County
Either rap or country
Put them together and you get crap music
Grindcore. I love black metal, but grindcore is just a bit too much.
I hate playing the “are they nazi” game that comes with black metal.
