I always see people who list their music tastes as "anything but... (usually country or rap). How can you hate an entire genre? The only answer is that you've got some preconceived notions of what that genre is and don't actually listen to the music. No one is that specific. Everyone can find at least one song they like in every genre. (Except for deaf people probably). |

I haven't listened to enough to even say for sure what it is. Google it and listen to a few of the results. Here are some other stabs: I really don't like zouk, a type of afro-caribbean music. Also, if boy-bands are/were a genre, I think I hate that one. |

smooth jazz and mathcore are both subgenres; they don't count. |

But where do you draw the line? Is "rock" all one genre? Are punk, metal, hardcore, rockabilly, adult-contemporary, etc. all one genre? |

| Post subject: | Re: How Can You Hate an Entire Genre? |
generally, some of those are their own genre, but it can vary from person to person. i think when it comes to smooth jazz and mathcore, though, it is safe to say that they are sub-genres. |

But even there, there's a lot of variation irony. Lots of bands have fed on the remains of rock-n-roll in various different ways. |

Everyone can find at least one song they like in every genre. (Except for deaf people probably). There are some REALLY good rap tunes, I don't own any of them but if they are on I'm probably going to turn it up. As for country, I wouldn't say that I "hate" it but I can't name you a single country song that I like. In a word, country music just sounds lazy. I like to have my emotions inspired by music, country is just "meh, okay, thanks for trying....I guess.". Other than country I'll give anything a chance. |

Find a rap song that I like. Because I don't have one. |

I hate any modern country music (early 90's and up). I don't have to listen to it for some obscure artist to catch my ear. I've heard tons of it - it's either super down home and sounds like a toothless preacher wrote it or it's pop dreck with southern inflections. It's mass produced and sounds like shit. There, I did it. I hate an entire genre. |

This is an interesting question. I'm not sure. I dislike rap and the words/messages (seriously, once I listened to the same song three times in a row only to a different beat, "yeah, I went to the club, there was a chick shaking it, we went back to the crib, I'm so rich") That being said, I love working out to rap music. |

There, I did it. I hate an entire genre. No you don't, because Country is country no matter what year it came out. Johnny Cash is country music and so is Toby Keith. It may have changed but there aren't two genres of completely different country. It's like Rock n Roll is one Genre, everything else is a subgenre of that. I can find a song or two in all genres I like. I don't listen to rap much, but there are a few good ones out there. |

Okay, fine - I hate an entire sub-genre. |
