I would say Rap, but it’s not really music so I don’t think it counts.

Im not sure I can say this for sure. I do not like rap and country/western. In some ways they are sorta the same to me. I like a lot of complex melody and varied instruments. That being said there is so much variety and crossover that there are songs that are considered in the genre or elements of the genres in songs that I like. Further there are songs that I don’t particularly like but they still have meaning enough for me to. mmmmm. I dunno. respect them for the art type of thing.

Country music. I can’t stand it. The twangs make me cringe.

Johnny Cash and a couple Dolly songs are about all I can enjoy

Country in the past 40 years.

I can’t stand nu metal and metalcore

I love black, progressive and melodeath metal, I love psytrance, techno, d&b, I like a few rap artists, but I can’t stand those two.

Rap. Can’t sing, with shitty stupid lyrics.

Christian Rock.

Contemporary Country.

R&B.

I, for one, like reggaeton. Although I first got to listen to it at a dance school that taught how to dance to it. Which arguably, is the way to experience it first. There is a difference between say, Bad Bunny’s “Moscow Mule” and Don Omar’s “Dale don dale”/Don Chezina’s “Tra tra tra”/Wisin & Yandel’s “Mayor que yo”.

I think Rosalia’s Motomami is relatively easy to enjoy although it’s a sub-genre (neoperreo). I think it’s hard to enjoy if you start with the top albums on Rateyourmusic. Don’t get me wrong - Plan B’s “Love and Sex” is a great classic, althought you need to be a bit further down the funnel (“brainwashed”) to enjoy it.

I don’t think there are any inherently bad genres of music. There is only bad execution of a genre.

Take modern country, for example. A lot of it is absolutely terrible, but even within the genre there are great artists and great songs. Reba McEntire and Dolly Parton are obvious examples. Every genre has its own defining sound, and every genre has performers who demonstrate just how good that sound can be when it’s done properly.

That being said… there are definitely genres and styles of music that I have very little patience for.

Anything labeled “easy listening.” Elevator music. Modern commercial pop. And, especially, mumble rap.

A lot of it sounds like lazy, formulaic music that has been meticulously overproduced to be as commercially marketable as possible. It feels less like someone had something they wanted to say and more like a committee designed a product that would generate streams.

And that’s ultimately my problem. I don’t dislike a genre simply because it isn’t my taste. I dislike music that feels like it was made with absolutely no artistic ambition behind it.

Honestly? 99% of rap. Also reggae and reggaeton, and dub. Also not a fan of much R&B or Hip-hop.

Sorry.

Commercial pop from the early 2010s. A horrible time for anyone who listened to the radio.

Think Katy Perry, Usher, Pitbull, all that tasteless garbage that still gets repeated 3 times a day on some stations because they dont want to buy rights to other songs.

And that really unoffensive “summer vibes” style edm that was really popular in 2020.

Any boy band music. It’s all just so cliche. It feels like none of them have actually lived any of the things they’re singing and so just make up the most generic lyrics imaginable. There’s no detail, no specificity, no iota of the people behind it in my ears.

Another for reggaeton. It drives me out of stores.

I can’t vibe with anything lyrics-centered. So rap is almost entirely out for me, and most pop and indie-rock too.

Velvet Underground is the only band to whose lyrics I actively listen or read them. Lou Reed had a particular style of writing, with very simple words and imagery, that works great for me. E.g. ‘Candy Says’ or ‘I’m Sticking With You’. Nico, who sang for VU on their first album, also has some great songs: e.g. ‘These Days’ and ‘The Fairest of the Seasons’, both written by Jackson Browne (and the latter also by Gregory Copeland).

“smooth” jazz.
