When you say “metal” you have to be a little more specific. That "death metal’ or “speed metal” stuff is terrible but bands like Metallica actually have some great music to their credit and remember that the term “metal” or “heavy metal” was originally applied to bands like Led Zeppelin. “Metal” alone casts a pretty wide net.
When Led Zeplin came out, there was no such term as Heavy Metal or Metal, that I recall, it was coined," Hard Rock." I vote Gangsta Rap as THE WORST music genre, with some Alternative music like Green Day as second. They get on my nerves.
 
Gangsta Rap with it filty words, I have these new neighbors:rolleyes: who blast this garbage and unless it’s Before 9:00AM or after 10:00PM I can’t do anything. Nice:ehh:

No, no, no, no, no, people! The worst musical genre is POLKA! Eeeeeeuuuuuu!
ROTFLOL!!! I’d have to agree to some extent (just don’t tell my great aunt I said that!)

I don’t normally think of it though because down here in the south not too many people even know what the polka is, much less would you hear any (no Pennsylvania Polka type show down here, thats for sure, ROTFLOL!!!)

There is however an overabundance of Country music… I can handle some but… yeah when 90% of the stations are Country and it isn’t your thing… it gets irritating…

of course I have a degree in vocal performance so in general I just tend to have specific voices that I do or I don’t like in some cases as well regardless of the genres… I’m definately too harsh on some musical theater performers, but then thats what I enjoy doing when I go see a show (or watch the Phantom of the Opera movie) I analyse the casting and the voices… after all for years I HAD to come up with SOMETHING to say about every concert I went to, or every album I listened to for a listening report - it was hard to go back to not coming up with tons of responses!

PS I should have added I don’t like real rap either… now if you’re talking old school DC Talk off of their “Free at Last” album - then I like that - but most people would NOT consider that any sort of Rap anymore… but Toby didn’t sing back then so I don’t know what else you’d call it, LOL
 
Gangsta rap

I was a “metal head” in highschool so I still have a soft spot for metal but some of the lyrics are pretty questionable. I never did get into death metal though.

Actually the term was coined by a reviewer who used it to describe Led Zeppelin’s sound.
 
OK, gangsta has been getting a bad “rap” around here, but I must say that I think I would take it any day over most 20th Century 12 tone classical music.
 
Most people have danced to it but does anyone really like it, yep im talking DISCO i suppose there was one or two decent ones.
was there ? 😉 🙂

Worst? Has to be death metal and gangsta rap. How could country be worse then those? common. :cool:

Also, when you say you don’t like country - you need to classify it, because there are MANY genre’s within country music, just like in rock, jazz, or hip-hop.
Personally, I don’t like real POP country, like Shania Twain, or the cutesy boy Keith Urban. But I love Texas sounds, honky tonk, outlaw country, Angry American country, and western folk. It is the only purely American music. Call me patriotic, or a redneck… I don’t care.
Absolutely right!!! 👍

And I just cannot stand “Gansta Rap” or death metal. Although it may just be like the OP said, I’m just getting older. 😉
 
I CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT I AM SEEING! GANSTA HIP HOP! NO SUCH GENRE! ONLY HIP HOP! IF YOUR GONNA DISS IT ADDRESS ITS RIGHT NAME! anyways, the worst genre has to be either country or techno. Techno requires no musical ability, just computers or you know the substitions. For example: instead of piano:keyboard, instead of drums:drum pad,instead of singing:well there is no singing.

Which means you have to know how to play the original instruments to be able to play the digital versions. Hip-hop and rap artists are no-talent clowns. They don’t play their own instruments, don’t write the songs, etc. They sample other artists work.
 
Country music all the way. When I listen to it I feel like growing a mullet, find my female cousin attractive, and I swear my IQ drops 40 points.:tiphat:

Peace

Um yeah - if you think it requires no ability - do you want to come demonstrate my Roland XP-80 synthesizer? I don’t particularly like Techno - but being a rather mediocre pianist I can tell you from experience that the keyboard/synth does not make you any better than you already are - if anything its WORSE because some models don’t have weighted keys (which makes it harder - at least for me - but mine doesn’t because otherwise I wouldn’t be able to carry the thing!), and on top of needing to have general musical ability - if you want to use the sequencer or do any of the fancy functions on the synth, you’ve got to figure out the program (And THEN be a good enough musician to play along with yourself without making a mistake to play the second, third, fourth, etc tracks… yeah - can you tell this is the part where I get frustrated and give up half the time?)

Those that enjoy modern Polka age from 1 year old to death. It is happy music and I am not surprised you burst out laughing. It can do that to you. Modern hard driving amplified Polka has no place at Mass, that I agree with.

Come on Dennis, that is just the kind of stereotypical response I referred to earlier. You obviously have not listened to any of the country music of today. I am not even a country guy at all, my favorite is “progressive” rock, but my wife got me into country through guys like Brad Paisley and if you listen to people like him you will find that your comment is just silly and a little predjudiced.

In the context of most of the posts here it does not require any actual ability because it is mostly sampled and sequenced and is not played live by any musician.

I do not think anyone said there was such a genre. Some have written gangsta / hip hop with the “/” denoting two different genres that share an absolute lack of musical ability.

ok so did you post this shortly after listening to country music? 😉

Come on! I don`t like most country music either, but what I really dislike are stereotypes.
