Bands You Love To Hate

[FallOutBoySucks]

What bands does everyone here love to hate? Mines an obvious (Fall Out Boy) but I also hate Gym Class Heroes, Panic At The Disco, AFI, Simple Plan, Plain Whites Ts, and Boys Like Girls. These are possibly the most annoying and overrated bands I've ever seen or heard. What about everyone else?

[Chocoholic]

My Chemical Romace and The Killers. I never got what was so amazing about them.

[ilovebrownies]

DragonForce, Manowar, and My Chemical Romance.

[Counterfeit Dreamer]

Cradle of Filth - I really can't stand them. Their lyrics are just a bunch of random 'dark' crap thrown together that doesn't make sense.

[Zebbs]

My Chemical Romace and The Killers. I never got what was so amazing about them.

Both of thier new stuff is complete and utter shite.
The old stuff is better.

Also I really hate Girl and boy bands who cant sing without a studio harmonic device.
That and Razorlight, The Kooks, The View and The Fratellis really drive a drill through my skull.

[Ox]

Any band with the name of a season, a month or the word "MY" in their name. Seriously, think about it - there isn't anything good about any band with any of those in them.

Wintergreen:facts:

I don't listen to bands I don't like, nor the radio so I don't have this problem. My brother listens to Eminem a lot though. He's pretty bad.

[Android]

Lionel Richie and Billy Ocean are two of the worst pop artists of all time. I love to hate them, and the hate is why I like them.

[ne3]

Cradle of Filth - I really can't stand them. Their lyrics are just a bunch of random 'dark' crap thrown together that doesn't make sense.
Please explain me, what doesn't make sense? And of course it's "dark" lyrics. It's a fucking dark / black metal band. Sigh....

Anyway, I hate Tokio Hotel so much. Come on, the vocalist dresses like a girl / emo, the guitar player dresses like a fucking rapper / hip hopper. What the hell? And the two last two persons dresses like someone from a 80's band.

[daweydd]

Coldplay and U2. Nothing good ever comes from them.

[Oinohtna]

I think we've failed to mention Hawthorne Heights and Hot Hot Heat. I had never heard of Hot Hot Heat until they came to do a show near where I live. My friend wanted to go so I said why not and went with her. Worst choice I could have ever made. It was a horrible concert in all respects. They can't sing, and their performance is even worse. I did manage to occupy myself by laughing at the people going inside. It was a mix of fat emo chicks and their indie friends. I'm still not exactly sure how that worked out, but it happened.

[Ox]

Please explain me, what doesn't make sense? And of course it's "dark" lyrics. It's a fucking dark / black metal band. Sigh....
They called an album "I Raped The Virgin Mary And Hung The Bastard Christ". That firstly makes no sense as it suggests that they are 2000 years old and that Jesus wasn't crucified.

It's also an obvious "LOOK AT US WE'RE EVIL AND EDGY AND WE DONT GIVE A FUCK WHO WE OFFEND" cry for attention from pathetic metal heads who think anything anti-christian or anti-establishment is cool as fuck.

[Rainbird]

I don't know half the names of all the bands/singers I like to hate. Most of them are black I think (I'm not racist, the music simply sucks).
Mims - This is why I'm hot... NO! You don't ever make a song about why you are hot, that is exactly why you are not hot!
Sean Kingston - Beautiful Girls. Beautiful girls making you suicidal? This guy needs a reality check, and any kind of needles, drugs and hormons removed from where ever he goes. On second thought just lock him up... And make sure he isn't allowed to sing again.

geez

[spaj]

U2, Coldplay, The Killers, The Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Kooks.

I'm quite aware that two of the bands I've listed will blacklist me.

[SLjimbolian]

Fall Out Boy, Black Eyed Peas, Jet, Otep, My Chemical Romance, Panic @ the Disco, Bon Jovi, and 95% of bands that have a MySpace page.

[Ox]

Let me add any band with song titles regularly over 4 words.

Also any name spelled inkorrektlee 4 E-fekt and 2 luk Kool.

[Kazia]

Paramore
Oh my God! No Doubt have disbanded! Quick! Form a band with a punky-retro frontgirl with crazy hair pronto please!!!!

[Tempest]

Panic! At The Disco


Hey I have a great idea, lets give all of our songs names that are at least ten words long. Everybody will love Lying Is the Most Fun a Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes off, Pt. 2 and There's a Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey, You Just ...

Ugh.

[ne3]

Ok ok, agreed there. It's actually just a scene play, CoF are posers. Their old songs are pretty much shit that doesn't make sense and 100% howling.

But if you'd listen to their newer songs, such as Nymphetamine, you might find them quite interesting. So is Dani Filth himself, an artistic person, with a wife and a daughter.

[1AJ1]

I completely agree about all those crappy and tacky American bands.



I can't stand Fall Out Boy; their music and lyrics are awful, and their lead singer... well, is that what singing is called these days?


another band I can't stand is 'MCR'. They suck, so, so bad! I saw them live before, and it is the only gig I have ever walked out of. That is also before they changed from acceptable punk style to this crappy emo rubbish just to suit the popular market.

Gurr.

[SmileEmptySoul]

McFly... Just can't stand those fags.

[CnGy]

Hating music is for the mentally inept.

Hating music is for the mentally inept.

Making sweeping statements like that to imply superiority over a group of people having a discussion is for assholes.

[xJesusx]

There are so many bands that I just cannot stand, some that have not been listed yet include nickelback, disturbed and creed. Hate them so much.

Cradle of Filth, they are not that bad when Dani Filth isn't constantly doing that stupid scream thing he does, which sadly is the majority of there stuff. Even when he is not, it is not the greatest stuff I have heard, but it is bearable. Listen to some live stuff, it is absolutely pathetic when he tries to talk using a scream-y voice, so sad.

[Counterfeit Dreamer]

What Oxtail-Soup said is exactly what I meant about CoF. If you look up their song lyrics, it's generally just a bunch of phrases about "evil" things that make no sense together. They try way too hard to push their image of being super "dark".

That's what bothers me about them, no the screamy-voice.

[Greeny]

I really cannot stand Nirvana, its just boring and simple music.

[Couch]

Pan!c at the Disco, Fall Out Boy, and Green Day.

[I Love Kitties]

I was expecting some of the bubblegum things that only little kids like. Cheetah Girls, Jonas Brothers and the ones with annoying songs like Aqua.

The Beatles are great! I cant beleive someone truley hates them! I can understand it not being your thing though. I'm glad I dont see AAR here!

[Kune-Tear]

I really cannot stand Nirvana, its just boring and simple music.

Finally, someone who agrees with me. I can't stand any Emo music. And even though it's not a band, and if even music, I can't stand High School Musical. Period.

[beermonster256]

My Chemical Romance are the worst band in the entire history of the world. Following closely behind are Fallout Boy, Panic! At The Disco, Coheed and Cambria, U2, Bon Jovi and everything in the charts.

Incidentally, I saw Cradle of Filth live last year and they were truly terrible. I'm not a fan of their music but I can still tell when a band does something well (I saw Black Eyed Peas and was able to appreciate it!) but CoF were just fucking awful.

[PshSam]

For the most part i hate metal music in the entirety. I can stand some emo music, depending. Fallout boy is by far the worst band to ever come to existence. Meh, That and country music. Exceptions to folk singers like Bob Dylan.

[Tweek]

Finally, someone who agrees with me. I can't stand any Emo music. And even though it's not a band, and if even music, I can't stand High School Musical. Period.

Nirvana wasn't emo, they were grunge.
Grunge was made commercial early on, but the "emo" music around recently has been a commercial genre from the beginning.

I hate Creed, Nickelback, MCR, Fall Out Boy, Panic! At The Disco, Eminem, and other similar bands.

[Kune-Tear]

Oh, I wasn't trying to imply that Nirvana was emo. I just don't like it in addition to all emo music.

[jayce]

I hate Creed too.
Part of the reason why is probably because my neighbour used to play their stuff on repeat all the time, really loud. And the Christian rock factor, and the retarded lead singer factor, etc.

Also, a lot of emo bands that have already been mentioned to death.

[Rainbird]

Finally, someone who agrees with me. I can't stand any Emo music. And even though it's not a band, and if even music, I can't stand High School Musical. Period.

In truth, anything Disney Channel has pressed out of it's organs sucked so much, I can't stand High School Musical!

[FallOutBoySucks]

I used to make fun of this one kid who used to listen to Cradle Of Filth at work. He said that Pearl Jam and Soundgarden (my 2 favorite bands) were complete crap compared to COF because they didnt scream and swear all their lyrics (his exact words). A) Chris Cornell is a WAY better screamer than the COF guy because atleast he's understandable and has a brilliant musical vision, not just the same beat over and over again with the same lyrics. I hope someday kids realize that screaming inaudibly isnt music.

[Ox]

Nirvana wasn't emo, they were grunge.
Grunge was made commercial early on, but the "emo" music around recently has been a commercial genre from the beginning.

Emo didn't start out commercial. Emo started out a lot less bitchy and a lot more rock/indie than it is in it's current incarnation. May I direct you to Sunny Day Real Estate and Fugazi for the beginnings of Emo. Neither band particularly famous, nor commercially successful. There are also emo band like Hot Water Music and Jimmy Eat World, who despite having their roots in Emo, I maintain are brilliant - unlike Hawthorne Heights and My Chemical Romance.

[Penis_Captivus]

Anything emo or rap. It's strange because only 1 or 2 people have mentioned rap and rap is utter SHITE!

[Kune-Tear]

You're right. Rap sucks total balls.

[Instructio4]

Lots of people bashing MCR, have to say i nlike their last album, saw them live at a festival this summer and was pretty impressed.

The Killers. They dont do anything, its middle of the road predictable shite.

[El Mojado]

My Chemical Romance - The Shittyiest band ever created and I pray to God that some one will have the dencency to bring the singer down. I will love that day.
Fall Out Boy - The band where they took their name after Radioactive Man's Sidekick, since they could not create anything better. Not to mention they're singer sounds somebody with a speech impedement (No offense people who do)
Panic At The Disco - Bunch of fags that try to act cool, but sing/play like shit.
30 Secounds to Mars - Really just Leto selling out since his acting career is in the shitter.
Rebelede (or RBD) - The girls are hot, but their music plain out loud sucks. They're Soap Opera sucks too. Its just a bunch of Rich guys and Girls calling out for attention.
Mike Jones - Loves to say his name in all his fucking gay ass songs. He can kiss the fattest part of my ass.

More will come

[Mr Nemo]

I cannot stand My Chemical Romance and other such emo shyt. All emos should die! Painfully, preferably by fire.

Another genre I dislike, is J-Pop, to me it sounds like nails on a chalkboard

[Edith]

Panic At The Disco and Fall Out Boy. Absolutely horrible, the voices, song titles, the lyrics. They both sound exactly the same, the first couple of times I heard PATD I thought it was Fall Out Boy. Plus in addition everyone thinks Pete Wentz is so damn hot and his face is plastered everywhere.

Aside from them, there's Plain White T's, Blink 182 and their awful spawn Angels & Airwaves and +44. Also Evanescense. There are of course more but a lot have already been mentioned.

[girlovesoneandall]

Hawthorne Heights.
They suckkkk soooooooo bad!
They make their voices sound way different on their cds and stuff i saw them live at warped tour and they cant even say ohio they say somthing like hawio.

[Derelict]

Cannibal Corpse. Their lyrical prowess is clearly very limited seeing as all of their songs are about rape, disemboweling, or more rape. They're sick for the sake of being sick.
I like a few black metal, or whatever hardcore metal heads want to call it, bands or songs but Cannibal Corpse is just ridiculous.

Andro is going to come after me for this.

Yeah, that's pretty much their image. They're known as the band with the most brutal lyrics in their genre. I personally don't hate them though, some of their riffs are quite catchy.

Cannibal Corpse is death metal by the way.

[xkittenxsocksx]

Bjork makes me cringe.

[halfdemon4life]

almost everything that ISN"T hard rock or heavy metal....some of the stuff out there is ok.....but most of it is complete shit...

[Pachycephelosaurus]

Dumbasses. Who gives a shit what music you do or don't like? Ripping on bands doesn't win you scene points, it just makes you a jackass.

[xJesusx]

Yes Derelict, thank you for pointing out how horrible Cannibal Corpse is! It is a group of talentless people who come up with lyrics just to see how sick they can get. Submerged in boiling flesh? I don't know if that is a song or album or what it is, but this kid at my school had a cannibal corpse shirt that said that on the back. What the fuck is with that! What is appealing about that?! If the music at least sounded relatively decent it would be slightly different, but is sucks.
Also slipknot, another pseudo metal I don't think I mentioned before, sorry if I did. Another totally talentless band that should loose the privilege of creating "music".

It's not about hating bands that are popular. I like as many popular bands as I do unpopular ones. That fact is most of the bands people have posted here really are shitty. Not my fault you have no taste

[Allen]

I agree with Derelict. Cannibal Corpse is pretty shitty. I hate any band like that. Any band that makes music to fit an image. That's just bullshit. Expecially death metal. It's all garbage. Like "look how bad ass we are! We'll fucking rips you apart with our bare hand. You can tell we're fucking bad asses from tue badass fucked up music we make!" Then you see them and they're all over-weight, greasy-haired, shit-for-brains that a middle school girl could beat up.

[DamnDude]

Any band with the name of a season, a month or the word "MY" in their name. Seriously, think about it - there isn't anything good about any band with any of those in them.

Novembre and December Falls are awesome, and really talented, granted alot of bands suck that are named after the things listed, there are still phenomenal bands out there even if their name aint that good.

Other than that I love to hate Megadeth, because of that ridiculous name, and Björk for her... music.

[Con-Con]

Korn and any emo it's just people shouting.
How can you listen to that?:aaa:

[WookieRage]

Yeah, rap seriously does suck ass. I HATE Hoobastank...that song "The Reason" almost drove me to suicide. Ashlee Simpson and High School Musical bite so hard...I have no idea why either of them are popular. Worse part is my friends think I'm a tasteless freak for hating all of the things mentioned above...maybe I need new friends.

[fabz]

How come no one has said Journey? Journey is total crap and I can't stand them. Every time I hear "Don't stop believing" I want to punch the closest pregnant woman and to punt a dog.

You most definately need new friends. Hoobastank totally pissed me off when the released "The Reason". I love their two previous albums. Basketball Shorts, back when they had a saxaphone player and did some funky jazz/rock music, was an awesome album. And their self-titled album was an excellent rock album. The Reason and anything after that is pure shit.

No way man, Journey are a one-way trip to musical awesomeness.

Completely agreed.

Hoobastank are the epitome of what it means to make a catchy song that, instrumentally, is severely lacking. The frontman's voice is HORRIBLE, unoriginal, the lyrics are the lowest form of lyrical skill ever, the tunes are slow and boring. Ugh.

[HappinessMan]

Anything from Disney, Falloutfags, My Chemical Romance, All Rap artists today.

I actually used to like MCR, but now all the whiny kids like it, and the black parade is shit.

[Allen]

No way man, Journey are a one-way trip to musical awesomeness.

Agreed. Journey fucking rocks. I have the Essential Journey album and I listen to it almost religiously. I understand what they're talking about with "Don't Stop Believing", though I didn't until recently that it had become a big trend. I do remember that one day back in 10th grade I kicked in the doors to my old school and started singing "Anyway You Want It", then a friend of mine asked me if I knew "Don't Stop Believing", then the two of us went around school singing it for about a month straight. Next thing I know it's a huge trend at that school. I wonder how many other people had to randomly sing at school for this song to spread like the plague.

[alrightDARLING]

Anything from Disney, Falloutfags, My Chemical Romance, All Rap artists today.

I actually used to like MCR, but now all the whiny kids like it, and the black parade is shit.

To name a few, Ashley Tisdale, Lindsay Lohan, and Hannah Montana (though i wouldn't really consider them bands).

The messages their albums send out: You don't have to be able to carry a tune to have a CD, you just need to be a cute bubbly teenage girl.

Both bands you listed are excellent and also if you enjoy that then Rites of Spring and later Dag Nasty is a must!

I really don't like Metal bands that try to be bad asses, or Punk like The Casualties, who claim to be Hardcore and For the Punx.

[IhaveRedHair]

The music I hate is all the diffrent Sun-Genres of metal, wether it be Black Metal to death Metal, bands like System of a Down and Slipknot and all that other crap just sickens me basically songs that are all scream basically have no melody killing the songs in my opinion. Bands like Yellowcard, No Use For a Name, Sum 41, and Taking Back Sunday deserve all the commerical attention they get.

[master magggot]

I really cannot stand Nirvana, its just boring and simple music.

WTF MAN

[madd hatter]

My Chemical Romace and The Killers. I never got what was so amazing about them.

nouthin they suck along with afi and well most emo bands if not all

[CheesePlease]

I cannot stand to hear the sounds of;
AFI - The lead singer looks like a post-op transvestite and sounds like a fucking golpher.

Fall Out Boy - They just need to give up forever. Everything about their music is horrible.

Simple Plan - This shouldn't even be called music. It's fucking whining with simplistic electric guitar and a drummer who can barely keep a beat.

Any rap artist that talks about 'pimpin dem bitchez', being G-UNIT YO, surviving gang wars, how 'fly' their car is or how big their junk is and how many women they fornicate with is just a massive, ear-bleeding, no-no.

There's also this one song called 'Beautiful Girls' or something and whenever I hear it I just want to kill everything with my bare hands.

[Desert]

All the new rap artists all sound the same. What happened to Run-DMC and Beastie Boys?

[Sica_]

Yeah dude, Rites of Spring are really good.

[ToastmasterAlpha]

How come no one has said Journey? Journey is total crap and I can't stand them. Every time I hear "Don't stop believing" I want to punch the closest pregnant woman and to punt a dog.

Maybe because it's considered one of the greatest bands of all time?

I'm going to skip over the no-brainers like Fall Out Boy and Panic at the Disco. I have a serious problem with The Fray. Their singer has the most grating voice. I hope someone dies at one of their concerts to show that they don't really know how to save a life.

[irockyourmom]

The Jonas Brothers, Aiden, and basically all screamo/emo and death/black metal acts that ever existed. They give rock music a BAD name.

First dude: "Dude, have you heard of I Raped A Nun's new album I Raped a Priest?"
Second dude: "Yeah! Its so fucking awesome. The whole album is about a serial killer killing a priest and raping its corpse. My favorite song is Assrape and Decapitate"
First Dude: "BROOTAL. Wanna go to myspace and tell people how much we like this album?"
Second due: "Hell yeah. We're soo HARDCORE!"

No offense to some death metal fans. The only death metal fans that piss me off are the stereotypical ones. You know, those guys that wear black t-shirts all the time and wear ridiculous spiky wrist band things.

Contrary to popular belief, death metal musicians aren't that good. Sure they can play the guitar real fast but they don't have any decent musicianship.

Woah, 18 months, that's got to be some kind of shitty record.

Speaking of shitty records I hate the one Muse have released over and over and over and over again with a different name each time. Muse suck ass, they have some interesting guitar bits but apart from that Matt Bellamy sounds like a twelve year old girl and never smiles, the stupid pussy emo twat.

Also Red Hot Chilli Peppers. 'Oh, we can play funk rock, excuses us while we shove our heads up our own asses ans suck each other's dicks AT THE SAME TIME over it'. (Don't ask me how they do it, clearly they're only good at one thing, and that's sucking ass). They come across as being pretentious and complete dipshits at exactly the same time, which is pretty hard I guess, but they don't win any points for achieving it. The cockmunchers.

Aiden is the only band that really annoys me. Mainly for the fact that they're fronted by a psychotic wanker. Everything else I just tend to ignore.

[Arthenon]

Whatever everyone feels in completely necessary to blast out of their cars as loud as possible. Of course all the general ones, Fall Out Boy, Panic at the Disco, the like. Beyond that, I can't really stand pretty much any country at all, just don't really like it.

[CoffeeKris]

I really can't stand the Jonas Brothers. They're really just this generations version of Hanson. I also couldn't stand Hanson, so maybe that explains my distaste for the Jonas Brothers. Also, SHAME ON YOU ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE! How dare you put the Jonas Brothers on the cover? You used to have taste! What happened? Is a horny 14 year old girl now choosing your cover pictures?

[Weirdusername]

I didn't mind a few songs out of Black Parade, but for a couple of years my brother played MCR all the time and only MCR so it pretty much killed anything that I did like from them.

As mentioned before anything like Panic!, Fall Out Boy, AFI and other emo-shite.

I like Green Day, but hate the majority of their 14year old emo fans that they have now. They were one of my favorite bands when I was younger, so I grew to like them.

All this growling death metal garbage. If I could train my dog to growl on command, I'd be in that market making serious money.

My brother listens to a bunch of other garbage. I guess it's emo, but not sure. Stuff like Devil Wears Prada, Atreyu, Bring Me The Horizon, From First To Last, etc, etc.

Rap. Only thing I like in the genre is Beastie Boys and I'd say they are more Hip Hop.

Aerosmith. I just don't like them.

I love to hate gospel music. It's not because I'm an atheist, I actually know one good gospel band but here in Finland we have a problem called "bad male singers in gospel rock bands" and it's simply unavoidable.

Also I can't stand emo and nu-metal and I love to hate those bands because we have another problem here, and that's called "emo is fashion and everyone younger than me listens to Tokio Hotel and that metalguy who won Idols two years back". It's heard a lot here, from the mouths of 12-year old girls, "the world hates me because I like girls more than guys".

Some metal bands today I can't stand because nowadays it's 9-year old boys and girls that music has been aimed to. There's at least two talented metal bands in Finland with member younger than me (I'm 17). No problem with that, it's just that... to summarize almost the previous:

I hate sell-out bands.

I hate Aiden. Not because Dave said it. No, I hate them because they're shit. I saw them at reading, (by which I mean I walked into the tent to see what was up, heard one song and was all like 'OH MY FUCK BLAURGH' over some dumbass emo chick). They're fucking retarded. They all look and sound like chicks, their music is so dire it make me what to floss my ears with barbed wire and the whole crowd was doing this retarded 'spin kick and flap about like a spastic but make sure to be spaced well apart so as not to hit anyone' semi-moshing dancing crap or standing around looking moody and gothy and gay. Fuck Aiden.

Let me rephrase what I said. Everyone in my school listens to Coldplay and compares them to The Beatles or Jesus. Gets annoying. And I hear it like everyday.

They're okay but nothing special. It isn't their music that makes me mad, it's the crazy amount of praise they get for being okay.

[antipasto]

And antipasto - that's not fucking post-hardcore. Post-hardcore is Thrice, Thursday...stuff like that.
Alright, then I hate bands like The Devil Wears Prada and Scary Kids Scaring Kids.
Basically anything those stupid little "scene kids" like and do the stupid helicopter-swirly thingie to.

Ahahahahahahaha, no.
Aiden sucked long before Dave wrote the article. Aiden are freaks who attempt to make music, but fail, and the only people who actually do listen to Aiden's music are little pussy emos who have nothing better to do with their time.

But, I love to hate Goatfuck. They suck.

[Duece]

You just regurgitated what Dave wrote in his article... right there.

Nickelback- I don't want to hear about how much you hate everything. The music is just the same rhythmic rendition with different words that say pretty much the same thing. if you really want to impress me write a song about how much you guys suck.

Lil Wayne- I have no problem with Hip Hop, but here's living proof as to why so many people hate rap. You went to fucking college ass clown and here you are spitting all these gangs references, i just don't want to hear it. You're too much of an idiot to capitalize on your education so you rap. Ugh!

[Quadros]

You just regurgitated what Dave wrote in his article... right there.

So? Dave also said 'I like drinking', but me saying 'I like drinking' a year later isn't copying Dave for cool points. Sure a few of us have the same opinion as Dave. That's because it's a popular opinion. It's not like Dave was even the first person to say or think 'wow, Aiden are well shit'.

[hollywood_maggot]

URGH BAND X ISN'T GENRE X THEY'RE GENRE Y. Shut the fuck up hollywood you elitist piece of dick.

I was defending a genre I like by pointing out the bands he disliked were not that genre. Thus he doesn't hate that genre that I happen to like.

But yes, I am elitist. And no, I will not shut up. I take pride in the music I like, and I can respect talented musicians even if I don't like the music. So I'm not as bad as some.

Also, Aiden truly are bad. If you think they're not you're either an emo fag or you haven't listened to them.

Also, ain't nothin' wrong with Metalcore. It's the swarm of poser, copy-cat bands that are the problem.

You can't justify liking your genre by claiming that all the shitty bands in that genre aren't in that genre but are in fact in a different sub genre. You've got to take the bad with the good. Or in the case of Post-hardcore and Metalcore, the shitty with the even shittier. The difference between the bands you posted and the bands antipasto posted are negligible, deal with it.

[hollywood_maggot]

...Not really. I'd say you've never even listened to them to make that sort of statement. TDWP is metal. Which just so happens to not be post-hardcore in any shape or form. These bands aren't the sort that slip between genres, these are ones that are easily labelled because that have that particular sound. The differences are massive, so I'd suggest you shut up.

[exetra]

The differences are massive, so I'd suggest you shut up.

Metalcore:
JUGGA JUGGA JUGGA SQUEEEEEEAAAAL *WAAAAAH MY GIRLFRIEND DUMPED ME*

Post-Hardcore:
JUGGA JIGGA WUGGA SQUEEEEEEAAAAAALLLLL *WAAAAAAH MY GIRFLRIEND DUMPED ME SO I'M GOING TO KILL HER*

Stop pretending the music you listen to is diverse you dipshit.

[Quadros]

Not that I care at all but they're post hardcore, not metal, and if you're genuinely saying that they and Thrice or Thursday are easily differentiated by style then you've either let over-genrefication go to your head or you're clearly insane.

[Trashcat]

Pretty much any band that has heavy music, and then the singer's voice comes out of nowhere sounding like a total whiner. Like Bullet for my Valentine.

[hollywood_maggot]

No, Metalcore:
JUGGA JUGGA JUGGA THROOM THROOM JUGGA JUGGA *RISE UP, SEE THE LIGHT BLAH BLAH BLAH SOME OTHER HOPE GIVING SHIT*

Post-Hardcore:
...well, its not even heavy most of the time. I'm not saying Thrice and Thursday can be differentiated, I'm saying The Devil Wears Prada can be from them...actually, no I take that back. I was thinking of I Killed The Prom Queen. There are similarities, but they're still Metalcore (shitty metalcore though, there IS good stuff though. In fact, most people who hate ALL metalcore but like other metal are more elitist than I am).

[Quadros]

In my experiance any 'genre' with 'core' in the title is a presumptuous over-genrefied crock of shit, as a rule. I like skacore, but even then I take issue with the name. But the brass balances out the core.

[hollywood_maggot]

I guess you haven't had much experience then. And every genre is heavily 'genrefied'. Look at fucking 'indie'. Or 'death metal'. Or 'alternative rock'. Everything is horribly genrefied. Doesn't detract from the music of the good bands (and EVERY genre has them), just means there's a fucking ocean of posers and arseholes making shit.

[Tweek]

Well its cool for me cause I think metal is shit but metalcore is unbearably shit.

[hollywood_maggot]

I'd call you a tard, but too many of my friends feel the same unfortunately. It hurts me personally to know these people can't bear the music I love, but sometimes you just gotta deal with it. Also, I keep telling myself I'm right and they're wrong. Elitism for the win. Makes you feel better every time.

[Quadros]

Patronisation doesn't work when it's also hypocrisy and when I say 'over genrefication' I mean the 'genre' only has like 2 bands in it. Genres as a rule are helpful when taken as a guide as opposed to hard restrictions on what you can and can't like. For example the fact that I think the various 'cores' need to die in various fires doesn't stop me from liking that one song by Comeback Kid. And i don't think 'Oh man, I love ska, so I guess I can't like Brand New'. However, you had to ostracise the bands you don't like from your precious little genre all together instead of just saying you didn't like those bands or defending your genre by saying there are good bands in it (although of course there probably aren't). Here's an example, I'm mad about punk but I don't like the Sex Pistols. I'm not going to try and draw a line in the sand between 'old skool punk' and 'punk rock', I'm just going to say 'I'm mad about punk but I don't like the Sex Pistols'.

[hollywood_maggot]

I had to ostracise them because they WEREN'T post-hardcore. I have a thing about sticking bands in their genres. Yes, there are shit post-hardcore bands. But there are considerably more than two.

But yes, I see what you're saying. I actually agree with you about the last bit, and I didn't mean to come across like that.

[Septem]

MCR, Tokio Hotel, 50 cent (thought it is not a bad), Beyonce, Aguilera, Jlo....

[Oofie]

I really fucking hate Anti-Flag and anyone who sounds even vaguely like Anti-Flag.

[Syzrael]

I really dislike Coldplay. I think Chris Martin is a horrible vocalist, for one. What a pathetic falsetto. The notes he's hitting aren't that high either - he's not close to having a good tenor range. If people knew vocalists like Rob Halford, Roy Khan, or Hansi Kursch, then they'd see just how unremarkable Coldplay's front man is.
And their music in general - I find it boring, simple, generic stuff. Lots of regular chords on the guitar and piano, single notes by the bass, simple beats on the drums. No innovation, no signs of any exceptional talent - nothing special.

[whoadreader]

I hate Coldplay, Red hot chilli peppers, MCR, Tokio Hotel and most rap ( I like a few songs by Lupe Fiasco).

[hollywood_maggot]

Syzrael, if people knew vocalists like Roy Kahn, suddenly most bands they listen to have unremarkable vocals.

[Cakelord]

You still can't deny that Chris Martin is a crap vocalist, as well as a mega wanker.

[hollywood_maggot]

That's why I didn't.

[Cakelord]

I don't think anyone, including Martin, is denying it.

[hollywood_maggot]

That being said, I do like Coldplay. I'm just not going to deny that he's bad because I can't be fucked arguing about it. He's a terrible lyricist, he's a prick in real life, but he's not that bad a singer. Oops, I just denied it.

[exetra]

Coldplay are decent considering what they are. Out of all the cookie-cutter soft-rock sissy-singer bands, they're my favourite :hmm:

Martin's vocals are pretty weak. I mean, I can sing Yellow in my full voice in the original key without too much strain and I don't consider myself to be anything more than an on-par vocalist :indiff:

[Ricamros]

Oh gee band x is successful, I better hate them now. :indiff:

well I'm not saying I hate all sell-out bands, I'm only saying I mostly hate sell-out bands because they usually don't make good music in my opinion. Like Tokio Hotel. Or the winners of American Idol. Or Rihanna. Or british pop bands, or In Flames.


Maybe I should've been more politically correct and say: Mainstream music isn't fitting for my taste and I don't like most of it.

Satisfied? I hate it when my opinions are attacked.


EDIT: most sell-out bands sound the same and that's why they're called sell-outs; they sell their personality in order to gain success. Which I don't respect at all.

[exetra]

I hate it when my opinions are attacked.

I hate it when your opinions are stupid.

The term "sell-out" in reference to recording artists is so fucking dumb. What is it even supposed to mean? That the band is marketed to younger fans? How is that any worse than marketing the band to older people or anyone else? How does being a successful "mainstream" band equate to "selling-out" in any way? I guess all these bands should apologize to you for being successful then. :indiff:

I'm not saying you have to like any mainstream music, just stop calling people sell-outs because it makes you look like the typical sad metalhead who's still holding on to some sort of "metal-pride".

Exactly. People throw the phrase 'sell-out' around entirely too often. To me, it implies an artist who forsakes the original intention of their music for no other reason than to make money.

Just because someone plays a style of music that a lot of people enjoy doesn't mean they're doing it just for cash, it means they're in touch with the rest of society. Believe it or not, most people wouldn't suddenly switch over to playing crazy underground indy shit if money wasn't a factor.

[hollywood_maggot]

You really can't call In Flames sell-outs. This progression they've made was entirely expected, and frankly its what they set out to do.

[Ikin]

I hate music. It's so overrated.

[lolguy]

I pretty much hate everything Rap, and gay pop bands.

Hate is such a strong word for a whole genre.

[Ikin]

I hate it when people say they hate an entire genre of music. Seriously, out of the thousands of rap songs ever made, every single one of them suck? Rap is far from my favorite genre of music, but I respect rapper's storytelling abilities. I'm listening to Lupe Fiasco right now. Open your mind a little.

[hollywood_maggot]

No, the recent history of this thread is you telling me post-hardcore isn't a real genre and all bands linked to -core are shit. Ikin was saying not all artists within any given genre are crap. I agree with that. I never stated otherwise anywhere.

I had to ostracise them because they WEREN'T post-hardcore. I have a thing about sticking bands in their genres.

Way to take the post out of context. If you'd included the whole post it would have been apparent that wasn't what I was saying.

[irockyourmom]

How do metal bands give rock music a bad name? And saying that ALL metal players have no musicianship is just ignorant.

If you go in thinking it's gonna be crap it's hard to accept anything. You have to actually keep your mind open to new things.

You can't stop looking for good stuff in a genre because a very small sampling was not good.

I used to think I hated metal but eventually after looking I found some stuff that appealed to me. It helps to keep yourself open.

[hollywood_maggot]

I meant death metal and black metal... Its nothing but pure ear rape...

You're not listening closely enough. And you will find most of the time those bands have far greater muscianship than any standard rock artist. Death Metal is practically the jazz of rock.

[BassBreaker]

Metallica, sorry, it bugs me when people misspell it.

I have been hating techno all my life. I just can't do it.

[Tweek]

Some drum and bass is really good, like Pendulum and shit.

I know what you mean though, a lot of techno is just the generic sparkly shit but there is music out there with some real character, if you know what I mean. Electronic music is really diverse.

[Sieda]

I meant death metal and black metal... Its nothing but pure ear rape...

Black Metal is meant to be. The entire point of Black Metal is to alienate by being as abrasive as possible. Death metal however is just sonically intense. You will find some of the most gorgeous guitar, bass, and drum work inside of death metal. Especially due to it's 'extreme/push the musical envelope' type of nature, it leads itself very easily into a jazz/prog vein.

[Pelican Man]

Yeah, I seriously hate every motherfucking rap song ever created.
The last time someone told me to "open my mind" to rap, I had to listen to 9 tracks of shit.

You don't have to like rap as a genre, but you can't just dismiss a genre like that. I really don't like listening to techno, but a mate of mine listens to it a lot, and some of it I actually enjoy.

That's like saying Jungle is the Folk Metal of Drum and Bass. You can't use one genre to quantify a completely different genre :indiff:

Still doesn't make sense, since there are plenty of jazz standards that are relatively simple to play :indiff:

Anything britpop, and anything emo. Especially the new emo bands which are popping up every five minutes, which makes me think, what the hell is this place coming to? They all look the fucking same and sound the fucking same...

[Crabstick]

Coldplay, Nickelback, The Black Eyed Peas (since they picked up Fergie), Fallout Boy and Flowrider all make me want to physically hurt myself and everyone around me.

I hate that Lil wayne fella with all his nonsense he calls rapping.

I know right, they had some sweet beats and weren't shite, but they had better sales success when they featured a female vocalist. Somehow that convinced them to pick up a piece of white trash to sing for them and it all went in the shitter.

Fucking cheerleader.

[azunder]

I just got round to listening to Lil' Wayne, what the fuck?

My Hip-hop play-list is pretty scant, I've only really got classics like; Big Daddy Kane, Rakim, Organized Konfusion and a grand total of two modern artists, Edan (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kbfYxaXhPs&feature=related) and Dan le Sac Vs. Scroobius Pip (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcGB7dJY0Vg&feature=related). I've absolutely no clue as to what's new, good or bad.

As for bands I hate I'd have to say Oasis. In the nineties they produced a few good pop songs, but the rest of their work (and all they're recent music) is mediocre at best. They ooze with unwarranted self-importance.

[Clark]

I dont like Lil' Wayne either. You can't understand half the shit that comes out of his mouth. And he doesn't really have any songs of his own either, mainly cause he couldn't pull it off. He can't do shit without another artist on the track.

He had a concert around here recently and I was quite surprised to find that people actually paid to go see him.

[exetra]

I would much rather listen to Lil' Wayne than T Pain, though.

[Raxo]

T Pain's rapping before his singing career was better than Lil Wayne rapping at any point.

[exetra]

Yeah but those fucking vocoders man. You can listen through Lil Wayne's unintelligible rambling but T Pain's vocoders sound like aural knives stabbing my eardrums.

To be fair, I haven't actually heard anything other than his new album so maybe I'm just being a dick.

[Raxo]

Actually you're being right. His whole schtick is vocoder. His other albums are more of the same.

The worst is when Lil wayne uses the vocoder to sing a la T Pain.

[Sieda]

Lil Wayne is actually one of the few rap/hip hop artists I like. Most of the time when someones playing that type of music in my car, I let them get through a few tracks then switch it.

But there's something about his style, flow, and word/analogy choices that really stick out to me when every other rapper is so generic.

[Raxo]

So you don't like your rappers to actually have a flow or have metaphors/similes/analogies that make sense.

That's cool.

[Sieda]

So you don't like your rappers to actually have a flow or have metaphors/similes/analogies that make sense.

That's cool.

His flow is often off kilter and crazy I love it, but when he hits his stride in songs like 'Playing with Fire' it really makes me sit up and listen. For some reason I enjoy the way his voice sounds, and his metaphors/similes/analogies are obscure, quirky, and often hilarious. He has is own insane style, and I really appreciate it.


The only other rapper I can really say I enjoy listening to is NaS.

[Raxo]

I'm a broken record.

Listen to some underground rappers.

[Sieda]

Yeah, I've heard some underground rappers are really good. Unfortunately rap isn't really my music of choice so I've never gotten around to bothering.

I'm not pretending to have an expert opinion or anything. I guess what I'm saying is, as someone who doesn't really get into rap, Lil Wayne stands out to me.

[Raxo]

I was just saying because if you like Wayne's occasional good song out of his tons of crap you would probably like underground rappers.

I know you're no expert and I;m not either but as a hardcore fan I get annoyed when Lil Wayne gets more praise than he deserves.

[irockyourmom]

Cradle of Filth - I really can't stand them. Their lyrics are just a bunch of random 'dark' crap thrown together that doesn't make sense.

agreed. basically all black and death metal bands suck.

[irockyourmom]

You're a fucking moron, have you even listened to any death or black metal at all ever?

yes i did. and i have to say its complete crap. it's all about the badass image, not the music. Tell me, since when is growling music?

I pause for a reply.

I also think Slayer is overrated

You are totally right. I listen to Death metal because i want people to know I'm a badass. Hells Yes Bitches! Little nerdy kid gonna beat the fuck outta you.

Way to stereotype an entire genre of music and those who listen to it. I respect that you don't like it. Good for you. Don't make me out to be some douchebag who acts like a complete dick. kthxbai

[Sieda]

I missed that post originally. But if someone thinks all Cradle of Filth lyrics are just of bunch of 'random' dark crap that make no sense, they certainly lack basic literary comprehension skills.

Say what you want about the shrieking and lame image. But Dani's writing is impressive.

The main problem with Cradle of Filth is the image and dreadful music.

As for rap...I have a tendency to like white rappers. O.o But Lupe Fiasco is cool.

Pardon my double post, but Black Out Band is the shit that is plaguing this planet.

That sure is some groundbreaking stuff right there. :indiff:

Seriously though, forget the fact that this isn't targeted at our demographic, I'd love to know what exactly are the record execs trying to achieve by using the same awful kid band formula that hasn't worked since the mid 90's?

To be fair, when he's older I think that one kid will have a good voice for indie rock. I'm surprised by the lack of autotuning in the chorus cause those harmonies are fucking terrible.

[Shanan]

i don't know the names to the bands i hate i just don't losten to them. the type of music is what you should hate not the band

[exetra]

Yeah cause an entire genre of music can be quantifiably "unlostenable". Idiot.

[Unspoken_Demise]

This man is a grammatical genius. We should all losten to him and learn.

[Ricamros]

I hate it when your opinions are stupid.

The term "sell-out" in reference to recording artists is so fucking dumb. What is it even supposed to mean? That the band is marketed to younger fans? How is that any worse than marketing the band to older people or anyone else? How does being a successful "mainstream" band equate to "selling-out" in any way? I guess all these bands should apologize to you for being successful then. :indiff:

I'm not saying you have to like any mainstream music, just stop calling people sell-outs because it makes you look like the typical sad metalhead who's still holding on to some sort of "metal-pride".

Me? Metal pride? I listen to Disney Classics for Ra's sake!
I guess you missed my point.... I don't mind people doing well in the music industry, it's good for them and it's good for me when I can actually find the albums I want to buy from the stores I visit.... my point was, I MIND when bands sell themselves to have more publicity and more money. I'm mostlytalking about metal because that's the one genre I'm the most aware of. plus it's probably the most noticeable (of course, until now, when everything starting from Green Day is counted as metal.)

I heard about some girls who were talking to each other about metal bands and how HIM is black metal and black metal is such beautiful music, and how you can't be a goth or a metalhead without black hair and black make up. That's why I hate kids who think they know everything from the culture and history of the music they listen to based on one band. Which is usually a sell-out, or just famous otherwise. That stuff is getting ridiculous and I can't help but feel nausious! Stupid king-of-the-world youth of today... man I feel old.

of course I have my own undeniably bad attitude about new bands in general because I've always listened to quite old/underground music and that's something I can't deny. But I don't hate bands without a reason.

besides it's quite stupid from you to call my opinions stupid. at least I don't say I don't like a band because it sucks. (although some actually do, but everyone thinks like that about something.)

[AamyDelemma]

Any band with the name of a season, a month or the word "MY" in their name. Seriously, think about it - there isn't anything good about any band with any of those in them.


Wow, I never thought of it that way...

Hate to break it to you buddy, but EVERY SINGLE BAND EVER does this. Every band has a product and an image to sell, even the lowliest band. Almost every band with even a modicum of popularity will have a business plan. "Keeping it real" is just a ruse.

I guess your opinions are more naive than stupid.

I agree with this. If you're going to be a professional musician, it's a lie to say that you aren't in it for the money. I mean, sure, you could care less about how much you make, but you have to make a living somehow.

My Bloody Valentine is an excellent band. I think Loveless is one of the finest albums ever made. Though, their name is rather off-putting, I assure you that they sound nothing like you think they do (Assuming that you're judging them based on the band name)

As for the topic, I think Brokencyde is the band I frequently reference in terms of music that I think is just fucking awful.

True, although some bands do only what is needed to survive. But they're rare and far between.

I dunno, metal elitism would suggest he listens to metal. I'm going to have to pull out the ol' genre definer and say Green Day are not metal.

Green Day are not metal.

Reading comprehension. Try it some time.

[irockyourmom]

I think you are overrated. What kind of music do you like, huh?

Enlighten me please.

Also, Whitesnake. Fuck, does David Coverdale suck.

I listen to music that doesn't involve growling and doesn't involve lyrics about rape, mutilation and more rape.

And how the hell am I overrated? It's like saying "No, You're the loser" to someone who called you a loser.

What about you? What music do you like?

...It's more just a case of the brain skipping a word or two.

So, what, you gave Cannibal Corpse a spin and decided it summed up the entirety of the metal genre?

Oh, you read one song by one bands lyrics and generalised a whole genre, aren't you just a smarty-arty?
Considering that a large number of death metal bands focus lyrically on philosphy, social issues, personal struggles/issues, spirituality, religion, nature and even humour, I think you're a fucking idiot who needs to get down off their high horse and stop judging different genres of music on one song or what their friends say.

[Metalhead636]

Welcome to the world of the ill informed mate. You have heard the lyrics to one metal band. Also, You did not properly answer my question, what are some bands you like?

I listen to hard rock and heavy metal. You know, smart, technical, informative music.

[Cyan]

Bring Me The Horizon. A guy in my class totally loves them and a mutual friend is crazy about them. He sometimes plays the music during breaks... and boy, if looks could kill he'd be dead.

[daiso6992]

Pretty much Fall Out Boy and Panic at the Disco. Seriously, what happened to the good rock?

[Metalhead636]

It died with John Bonham.

[WongSifu]

Both decent bands that get too much hate, in my opinion.

It died with John Bonham.

Not really.

To discredit an entire genre because it evolved into something new is pretty ridiculous. Not to mention FOB and PatD are hardly rock.

If all rock music would've ever came to be would've been from the 70s, the genre would be incredibly boring and dead. Not to say 70s music isn't interesting, but if rock music stayed the same, what's the point?

[hollywood_maggot]

If you actually went looking instead of relying on the radio, you'd find plenty.

[WongSifu]

If you actually went looking instead of relying on the radio, you'd find plenty.

Yeah, I think that's the attitude that people have towards modern music that really irks me. Back then, there wasn't really a big awareness on the underground like there is now. Essentially, what was popular then was pretty much what was good (Of course, emphasis on pretty much, as I'm sure there are many gems that have gone unnoticed). You didn't really have to go looking for music. I'm sure that someone who loves bands from the 60s and 70s can still find something they really love nowadays if they just search a little.

That said, for a fan of 70s rock I recommend Portugal. The Man - Church Mouth.

[hollywood_maggot]

There was still an underground, there just wasn't the internet to make it easier for everyone. Back then you actually had to put some effort into finding good, underground acts. These days you just need to devote some of your chair time.

[daiso6992]

Well, hollywood maggo, if you have any suggestions of better bands, please tell me any band because all I have been listening to are bands like Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and The Offspring.

[Laurence]

I don't really listen to much of what would slot into the 'rock' genre, but in my opinion the most awesome rock band in recent times is/was Sleater-Kinney (they're on hiatus). Of course, that's based on a fairly uninformed opinion. The lead singer, Corin Tucker, has an incredible voice, unlike any I've ever heard.

[hollywood_maggot]

If you want spectacular vocals in rock, go listen to some Australian prog rock like Karnivool, The Butterfly Effect, Rook, Dead Letter Circus, Jerrico....Australian Prog Rock is where all the stupendously good vocalists are these days.

[WongSifu]

As exetra said, there's already a thread for sites and programs that will help you find bands based on what you already like. Though I also recommend branching out into different genres as well as styles of rock (Which I assume is the genre you most enjoy). I'm not too sure on what to recommend that would be similar to RHCP or the Offspring, but there are several excellent bands that have been huge influences on Nirvana (But you might not like them) such as:

-Sonic Youth (They're actually the band that got Nirvana onto a major label because they vouched for them. After Nevermind when Kurt was writing In Utero, he said he wanted to make his next album "More like Sonic Youth", which resulted in more dissonance in his songs)

-Dinosaur Jr. (Consistently awesome, someone once said that this band is what 'brought back the guitar solo' in the 80s and 90s)

-Pixies (I think Kurt once said that when he formed Nirvana, he basically just wanted to make the Pixies)

[Hats of!]

Australian Prog Rock? What the hell kind of scene is that? I've never seen a single person liking "Australian Prog Rock". Hell, none of those bands are even listed in progarchives.

[Vandal]

Fall Out Boy, Jonas Brothers, 3oh!3, pretty much every single myspace band.
I don't get the hate for MCR. What I do understand is all the hate for their fan girls.

He must be making crap up - Australian rock is in a terrible, terrible state right now.

[ChillaxChick]

I really dislike Coldplay. I think Chris Martin is a horrible vocalist, for one. What a pathetic falsetto. The notes he's hitting aren't that high either - he's not close to having a good tenor range. If people knew vocalists like Rob Halford, Roy Khan, or Hansi Kursch, then they'd see just how unremarkable Coldplay's front man is.
And their music in general - I find it boring, simple, generic stuff. Lots of regular chords on the guitar and piano, single notes by the bass, simple beats on the drums. No innovation, no signs of any exceptional talent - nothing special.

LIES.

I love Coldplay, i went to their concert when they came to Perth they were good. But Im not gonna fight with you over it, so eh.

I really hate the Jonas Brothers my god they piss me off.

[Ziggy St. Valentine]

I really agree with you here, Laurence. The good Aus rock isn't really around anymore. Hunters and Collectors, Cold Chisel, AC/DC etc have all moved on, the only band Australia has going for itself at the moment is Airbourne, and even though they're excellent, they may as well be AC/DC.

Yeah I know. Who do we supposedly have to fly the flag? Airbourne are pretty good, yeah, but if you just emulate AC/DC nothing will progress. Then there's Powderfinger (past their prime), Silverchair (Daniel Johns has gone crazy again), Birds of Tokyo (terrible lyrics), Gyroscope (also bad lyrics and that try-hard singer's voice is awful)... I could go on.

[Pelican Man]

He must be making crap up - Australian rock is in a terrible, terrible state right now.

Karnivool/Birds of Tokyo are amazing. The singer who's in both of those bands is awesome.

[exetra]

None of those bands are really prog, though. Just saying.

Cog are pretty good too.

[Laurence]

Yeah I'm fully aware of that. But I'm not a fan of Cog either, the singer's voice just gets to me. The rest of it is alright, but his voice. Blegh.

And I'm really hating on The Pussycat Dolls right now for massacring Jai Ho, and whoever allowed them to do so.

[hollywood_maggot]

The bands I mentioned are prog, at the very least, they're all classed as prog...and they're all doing Australia proud. Yes, they're not mainstream, but that doesn't make them bad. =/

I've never claimed that un-mainstream music is bad. Most progressive rock is currently underground. But those bands aren't really prog (atl east from what I've seen).

Well, they're not. I was just a little broad with my terminology, as they still fit nicely within that scene of aus rock. Karnivool and Jerrico at the very least are prog.
