for me, it's post-hardcore, breakbeats, easy-listening and phil collins.
TERRIBLE.

by the way, i meant post-rock
not post-hardcore.
RAGGA
Speed Reggae
.
Metal
Jungle...
definitely.
hahahah
jungle just reminds me of getting the coach to school when i was 11, and how all the 16 year olds who'd sit at the back would make us listen to this non-stop jungle mix every day.
BOOYAKAH BOOYAKAH!
I wish there was jungle on my bus
I have to put up with happy-hardcore. That is THE worst genre.
Funky house
No
reggae actually
no you were right first time
it is definitely funky house. I lived with a funky house DJ last year. That was certainly not a "funky house".
Very good
Opera
philistine!
But Verdi is terrific
hippy techno,
trad folk and smooth jazz.
opera or jazz
Not my bag, daddio.
jazz
probably, personally anyway
gangsta rap
or actually liquid funk
gangsta rap
is one of my favourites.
i dislike guns and the silly image
some of the beats and production is wicked good, but it gets spoiled in my opinion
youre such a gay
i meant post-ROCK
not post-hardcore! :( don't hate me
i love post-rock
and post-hardcore, why do you keep making that point?
because post-hardcore isn't as bad as post-rock.
furry muff...
why not?
and by that i mean why don't you like Post -rock?
because it's boring
and every band sounds exactly the same.
oh yeah, so it does...
much like
every hardcore band sounds 'the same', you mean?
yes.
but at least in hardcore, all the songs are actually good.
1. post hardcore is harder to type than post rock. thus its what you really meant, obvs
2. breakbeats can be great. depends on your definition
3. easy listening can be great. depends how its done
4. phil collins played on Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy)
1. i'm not THAT keen on post-hardcore.
are atd-i post-hardcore?
2. breakbeats is awful. it's like on the verge of being good, then it just descends into fatboy slim and badness.
3. easy-listening will always be bad.
4. phil collins is the enemy of music.
ZING!
atdi are pretty close to the definition of posthardcore
posthardcore = post punk but more rocking.
thus the best genre ever, obvs
Dont dismiss breakbeats - Fatboy Slim is not a breaks DJ (I dislike him immensely)
Try other acts like Ils, Evil Nine, Adam Freeland, BLIM, and tune into BreaksFM....
GARAGE
and most disco/funk. i just... get bored of it after a while.
oh and r'n'b ballads.
Chas n Dave
HARDCORE
you know the score
Hardcore
or HAPPY hardcore?
Or Hardcore techno?
bloody hell
erm - not happy hardcore... it's advertised on the telly - something like XTREME HARDCORE - basically versions of regular pop songs played at 180bpm for the benefit of people dressed as aliens. *is old*
this...

Ha ha, from the customer reviews:
"This item is good if your first getting into hardcore dance, blatantly the greatest form of electronica music.."
^^^
as posted by Mr. Iain Craig "Hardcore Mole" (Dundee, Scotland)
What is a hardcore mole?
Modern r'n'b & swing
also speed metal/death metal/most metal
Opera/musicals/classical lite
yuk!
i want to know how
'post-rock' just turned out to be quietLOUDquietLOUDPEDALPEDALPEDAL.
doesn't seem very 'post' anything really. apart from post-interesting.
you wouldn't say
Slint were post-rock then would you? :P
Soca
Ska Punk, Punk-a-Billy
PREJUDICE-WALLOWING! I hate it!
As if you can write off whole genres like this. It shows a really ignorant and closed-minded approach to music.
Can someone define "Easy Listening"? It's not really a genre, is it? It's just a term that means record shops can lump a vast variety of diverse styles together.
Phil Collins is a genre? Don't flatter him!
To say that trad folk is one of the "worst ever" musical genres ever is just insane.
i don't think it's really serious.
although i've never found any merit in 'Scouse House' before.
I know
it's not serious... :D :D :D
...But I think it clearly reveals genuine prejudice against massive amounts of music of which they know little or nothing about.
Fullerov is absolutely right - there are no 'bad genres'.
Or maybe I'm mis-interpreting things...
there aren't really any 'bad genres'
but i bet you've never been too fond of any Dutch Hardcore Gabba.
:D
ok...
but really - X-TREME HARDCORE? it's just an opinion but I can't see any merit in it whatsoever. prove me wrong!
There are no bad genres
and Post-Rock is awesome.
i knew there would be a post like this.
i quit the internet :(
Break beats are fantastic. Agree with the rest, tho...
Cheesy Euro house
Ugh.
Tell you what is good though - ragga. I've only recently decided this.
Wishpig!
Can you define "easy-listening" for me?
yes, but i don't feel like it.
HAH!
Indie music
rubbish, rubbish, rubbish
yeah i only like major label stuff too
sorry i meant to put
indie AND major label music
rubbish, rubbish, rubbish, rubbish
and rap
you can't spell crap without rap
yeah!!!
you can't spell Cumin without Cum
but it's still my favourite spice
*Abandon reply*
i prefer Geri
im off to rearrange my spice rack
so it says "Cumin Ginger"
vocal house
with'uplifting' lyrics, possibly sampled from some crappy 80s song which doesnt have a banging enough beat anymore. the sort of stuff that fills the charts weekly
post rock!!
Post rock is not a genre, it may be a critical description but genre no. I guess it has become seen as a genre but thats lazy journalism for you.
Remember at all times that nothing is true and everything is permitted.
I feel that all genres may have something worthwhile going on in them - except TRANCE I totally hate it, soul-less dance music with no funk at all yuck.
you needs to gets yourself down to a good psy-trance night
the thought of that
makes me feel a bit sick, I have endured it in the past it makes me angry, I really like alot of dance music but that shit is beyond bad
happy hardcore
acid jazz
reggae lite
its not really a single genre but...
whatever the hell it was that french radio stations were playing me most of last week is the worst music in the world.
its not just my opinion.
its a fact.
it's true !
It is a fact !
Christmas carols
Acid Jazz
is up there I reckon
But New/Neu/Nu Rave is a good contender
Oh and Nu-Metal
Progressive Rock.
'Yes', eh? more like NO THANKS! LOLZ.
ska.
the most annoying genre ever.
Ska is ace!
Well, the late 70s version is with The Specials and people like that.
Prog rock is actually the worst thing ever.
there's nothing wrong with a bit of prog
in the right place at the right time.
What's good then?
I'm quite* hasty to dismiss things.
*very
hmm
try a bit of Babe Ruth, King Crimson, Soft Machine....
of course
not forgetting Mars Volta, but they're not strictly prog rock, they're just heavily influenced by it.
*Steps gracefully onto Soapbox*
prog metal < prog rock
SO TRUE AND YOU KNOW IT
you dont like the specials?
me and homesick_alien
are going to killer you.
i just think ska sounds unbelievably naff.
the specials annoy the shit out of me.
So you don't really listen to music then
"Ghost Town" is rather good.
It's gotta be
ACID JAZZ.
Bad.
That
was a made up genre - it was pretty bad
bf
for me- Math Rock, Post Rock etc...
any kind of music that comes from the brain and not the heart...by definition, has got to be bad.
I don't get why people pick the absolute worst examples of a genre to prove why the are allowed to dislike said genre.
Also kinda amazed at the number of votes for reggae, etc...I can't say I'm a big fan, but I can appreciate great murky Lee Perry stuff when I hear it...Lo-Fi, right- indie fans should dig that
yer
people who dismiss reggae (or any genre) are idiots, frankly.
except people who dismiss metal, who are actually rather perceptive.
Agree.
People who dismiss reggae just have no idea...
I see value in all types of music really, ok apart from ska punk.
I haven't found any house music I like, ever
I reckon with every other genre I have.
Ska Punk
without a doubt. Poor use of brass, almost ruins the trumpet for me. How many Ska Punk versions of Take On Me do we actually need?
rock n roll
Ska. And Metal.
Wank. Complete WANK.
how is this thread so long
when the word "ska" would sufice. Propagandi were right.
uh
rap-rock?
mmm, linkin park-core
the world would
be a worse place without fred durst
?
justifiable how? fred durst < everything else ever. in the history of ever.
