I’d say either Christian pop, R&b, or industry pop

Whatever it is that Cavetown does. I really like comically hard or fast music but have no problems with most songs I deem "too soft" if it doesn't feel dead. When a song is basically a string instrument and some guy singing as softly as possible it is understimulating(best term I could find for what I feel). How bare the song is means there's nothing interesting for me each second which is what I like about listening to faster or harder songs. Most artists also come across as pretentious.

This is tragic because my boyfriend absolutely loves this kind of music.

Rap. No hate to fans, but it's just people saying words really fast. If I wanted that stuff I'd listen to speeches at 2x speed or something.

I like rap, but feel the same way sometimes. It really depends on the artist if it sounds like that I feel like.

While I do like some fast shit I agree that particularly these days a lot of spaces in the genre is oversaturated with people trying to stuff as many syllables as they possibly can into a line with little regard to A) saying something of substance or B) making music that sounds good.

I don't know what you might possibly be into but there are definitely some really good artists that take their time with what they say.

same here, I try to listen to rap music every now and then but I just can't get into it at all. I think I'm generally more into the instrumental part of a song rather than the vocals. And since rap is like 90% about the vocals I just find it hard to enjoy.

spoiler

My best friend loves it so no hate but I just can't get into the whole indie, pop punk, folk sort of stuff--maybe sometimes folk is okay but only if it's made by rural poor people not suburban upper middle class kids. I guess I just don't like suburban whining ("nonono it's SUPPOSED to sound bad!"). Bright Eyes is okay.

There's a lot of stuff I have a very short patience for. Everyone around me right now listens to drill, I like NBA YB but other than that all the flows and lyrics of the scene are really repetitive and its soulfully exhausting. I have to be in a very bad spot or en route to terrible crimes to want to hear drill. Considering its made by killers for killers after generations of being corrupted under American culture that's not surprising.

I also just can't get into old school hip hop or rappity rap.

98% of anything that makes it to the Top 40 these days is just McDonald's music.

I really like some classical and want to get into it but everytime I explore outside of OSTs/modern classical and try to listen to Dimitrille Von Orgenspognan or whoever from centuries ago I find it unbelievably boring and, ironic to what its fans say, emotionless, I can see some stuff just being lost in translation across hundreds of years though.

Modern pop country should probably be suppressed.

[–] big_spoon@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 2 years ago

i'd say salsa...even when i'm from the south, i'm not truly in love with the genre. i prefer to add reggaeton in my personal mix

Basically anything were the music doesn't flow well with or without vocals. There's no specific genre although I would say rap has way more of these types of songs. So much of it feels like an attempt at just talking or yelling to a rhythm while some music plays in the background. Then there are rap songs that flow amazingly well with the music and sounds great.

That being said there are lots of types of genres that do this and also like, sub-genres. Like I really like a bunch of different kinds of metal. Bother ones that are more like hard rock and ones that are more instrumental. Ones that have different ethnic themes etc. But I HATE. HATE screaming and growling metal. I cannot listen to it. It sounds stupid to me. My favorite band has some killer songs, with the best instrumentation and vocal flows, but then half way through some of them they will start the growling and I will just cut to the next one.
