I really tried with Burial. I really persisted...but all I found was fragmented shards of mind-numbing tedium.

Dub-Step!!

Kind of twee indie, acoustic or antifolk music with consciously lo-fi recordings, badly played instruments, self-conscious singing and lyrics about deliberately trivial subjects.

I think it's not so much the music itself so that so many people seem to be doing it at the moment and so few are doing it with any originality, soul or anything to say.

There's so much of it.. and it's all so wet and devoid of any guts. Argh!

can't stand all that self-consciously cutesy stuff, I find it really grating.

Good boy.

Do Buck 65, Clouddead, Why etc fall under "whiteboy rap that middle-class indie kids pretend to like"? I'm not a huge fan of hip-hop, even the avant-garde stuff, but I accept that there's plenty of hip-hip that has artistic merit.

Me, perhaps I'm guilty of what I've just chastised twee_loser for, but I've never heard any Drum and Bass that I didn't think was bloody awful.

FUCKING
BOLLOCKS.

I fail to see how anyone can dislike this song, even if you hate all other screamed songs.

But original, late 1950s ska is immense.

(although I say 'etc', they're pretty much the only two bands in the genre, thank God) I totally agree.

I hate it. Cockney vocals, mischievous brass and just general silliness. Please stop torturing my ears and leave ska to the people who know how to do it. Suggs is the first against the wall. Not only does he continually irritate me with his horrible, horrible songs, but he's nothing but a shameless businessman. He's no musician. I reckon he goes round asking every company if they'd like to use his dirge to sell their products.

But if you mean ska like Toots and Desmond Dekker and Harry J then no soz lol.

The non-twee, non-canadian band?

For example, you've just mentioned two bands that sound absolutely nothing alike.

Health are turd, though.

but I gota defend HEALTH they are awsome.... JoFo to for that matter but they aint really inovators or anything....

I pretty much haven't liked any trane in my whole life but I'm willing to be swayed by any genre relly.

And twee, barf.

Hip Hop and urban are two completely different genres. One of which is good and one of which is less good.

"Its like these guys who get up on stage and DJ, and everyone stands and watches. He's standing there, playing somebody else's music. He isn't creating anything. He might as well be sat there reading the paper, with a CD on that he's prepared."

that was almost funny.
true, a DJ isn't creating live music in a traditional sense, but (s)he is creating a mood, an atmosphere.

keeping an audience entertained for 4 hours at a time is pretty hard work, whatever you think.

at making the sound track to a party they aint there to be stared at by indie boys and girls they are there for the music... Clubs would suck if they were full of bands stoping and starting and playing the odd duff track ect....

IN A CERTAIN ORDER! FUCKING GENIUSES!

usually. its not anti-folk, its just shit.

Regina Spektor and Devendra Banhart are both anti-folk

therefore anti-folk = <3

refering to moreden R&B the proper blues stuff is actualy quite good

the 4th one

terrible

good metal is good though

What makes that video is the two headbangers. True comedic genius!

and your comment "its actually pretty catchy isn't it?" has got me laughing like a bastard

Drones are excellent, sunn O))) is not a fair representation of all music made with drones.

Especially Stars of the Lid.

as the guardian writers have called it. It's pretty crap but by I wouldn't say it is the worst of all genres.

If we can, then I hate ladrock. Also metal. Also The Kooks.

Other than that, seems ever genre has something I like hidden in it somewhere

I genuinely love 'happy' hardcore.

Neo-soul or nu-soul.

And I'll vote for Romo or Norwegian black metal

choir boys singing church hymns?

talentles but the clash are class

it's a brand.

so we're pretty much even.

It always takes an hour for someone to say "yr all fucking twats" or "I hate these kind of threads". Almost exactly.

if we didn't talk about stuff like this.

I stand by my answer. Stupid new london accented indie :(

people disagree with you: http://www.antifolk.net/index.html

It's still rubbish, though.

and are ignorant of/ambivalent toward 'anti-folk'

They're a genre right?

As all the purveyors of lad-rock will be hunted down and shown the errors of their ways. With extreme prejudice.

Any time anyone says this kind of thing, you can just point them in the direction of Straight Outta Compton or all the G-funk stuff, and the argument is null and void.

you can only enjoy Drum N Bass if you appreciate the visceral response from hearing the music. It's supposed to energize, and give you an adrenaline rush...it's quite superficial.

But I really like it.

Sorry, you cannot all play a solo at the same time!

but Reggae sauce is great

Animal Collective but I stumbled upon them on the way out of primavera, lightly under the influence and they were perfect for that state of mind.
They do have the look of baggy era Manchester tho. Well, they did on Saturday night. Perhaps thats why they worked with the drugs... man.

You wouldn't include Rage, Metallica, Pixies, Smashing Pumpkins, Franz within that would you? Surely Virgin Radio Rock would be a more appropriate term. Or even XFM rock these days :( .

has ever come from trance. It's the dance music genre equivelant of Muse.

with such a passion. I can't understand why anyone would want to go home and listen to some 'smooth grooves'.

Happy Hardcore is vile too.

dance.

Then I realised I lived in Bristol and started going to Drum and Bass and Psytrance etc.

-

They have one album.

you have both Kraftwerk and Test Icicles in you liked bands list, though. That about covers electro and nu-rave.

for me, hate anything that describes itself as 'funky'

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=RPiVgWYiB08

especially the ones with their crew all saying "ohhhhhhh" in unison every other second. But their are some exceptions in these genres I really like.

Funky House - way too tanned for my liking

Most modern British folk music, again with some exceptions

White-boy reggae/"world" bands from the suburbs with dreads and Sting/Bob Marley as main influences, spreading the message of world peace as an excuse for their sorry existence.

Beatboxing

1 made of or belonging to the highest quality; established as the best. 2 entirely typical. 3 simple, neat and elegant, especially in a traditional style.

I'd go with definition number 2, stuff that is typical of something always sucks.

Scouse House

Everytime I go out with my friends whom don't like music they always pick places that play this kinda stuff. And whenever I ask someone I know is a wanker I ask what sort of music they like, and this always pops up.

makes me want to die inside.
