Something in music you wish was gone
 

If you could eliminated one thing in the general category of music, what would it be? It could be anything you wish like a musician or their influence, an certain instrument, types of fans, an genre, or anything you can think of related to music. Personally, I would like the accordion to disappear.

Go to hell with the accordion thing. The accordion rules for one reason:

And, to answer your question: Auto-Tune.

I forgot he played that. :o

I was going to say auto-tune but it's use has become laughable to me so I can't hate it. I hate indy music fans. I don't mind indy music but the fans are pretentious pricks.

Justin Bieber

Whiney rock like "Alexisonfire" and anything that sounds like Tom DeLonge

Have never heard Alexisonfire but in my mind they sound like something Tom DeLonge fans would like

Also, what is so bad about Justin Bieber? Seems like everybody hates him for no reason. Never heard any song by him but just seems like a pretty normal tween pop star

And worst of all, his music is so forgettable. It's not good, but it's not bad. So why is he treated like the spawn of Satan?

I'm guessing 4Chan.

Anyway, I'm going to go with Protools. While it has some legit uses, it's mostly used to make shitty people sound "good."

Seriously, Milli Vanilli were more honest than the folks who process their shit through Protools, and they're still mocked. Though they're slowly getting forgotten.

Just one? Here is a few things that I hate off the top of my head.


Nickelback
Just about every metalcore band
All reggaeton
Akon
Justin Timberlake
Everybody that sounds like Boyz 2 Men/Usher
Soulja Boy
Britney Spears
Everybody that sounds Rihanna/Beyonce/TLC
T-Pain
All disney/Justin Beiber tween pop

Die, die, die!

everything that's played on mtv/the "popular" radio stations. it all sounds the fucking same

and my geodude pic is greater than yours

I agree with you except for R&B

Like Justin Timberlake and Rhianna tbh. Obviously it is mostly disposable pop, but it's really really good pop. Same w/ Lady GaGa. Just very good pop music, nothing more really.

I think most ppl just hate the idea of these people more than they hate the actual music.

I don't have a problem with the people themselves- I just can't stand the music they're associated with.

I don't like that pop-country is so popular, I'm not really talking about Taylor Swift either, who is actually okay... more along the lines of Keith Urban and Brad Paisley or whatever. These people are not supposed to be real celebrities,they are suppose to be more like "fringe celebrities" kind of like wrestlers or hockey players or something.

^ Never heard of them tbh. Ignorance is bliss.

Why would I hate it because others do? I hate it because music like that makes me dislike music. It's so sappy and the topics are annoying most of the time. And the beats/music aren't interesting enough most of the time.

And I'm not even close friends with any metal heads. When I had more friends, I probably was but other people have nothing to do with my taste in music. I always hated that kind of music.

If I had to decide at gun point or something I'd rather listen to bad rock like Nickelback and Limp Bizkit over stuff like Rihanna if that says anything.

People who shit on other people's taste in music. Not singling anyone out, mind you, it's just a pet peeve of mine.

D Mac is the exception tho. I mean, Creed?? Come on now

:y::y::y:

Justin Timberlake is the man. Don't like his "music" at all but he is such a "cool dude". Huge mancrush I guess

I don't really care about anything in this thread and I think everything about it is really stupid but I will say METALLICA /M\

^ I saw him on a talk show where he talked about Pink Floyd years ago, he did seem cool/laidback guy. I just don't like his music.

Or the idea of pop in general. Though I don't really like Timberlake (Can certainly admit he's got talent, just don't like him) and Rihanna (strong voice, don't like much else about her music), pop isn't bad by itself. But there's a strong counter-culture deal that goes on. Whether it's good or bad, it's still pop.

To be fair, it's D Mac. The dude should just be mocked in general.

I would eliminate Metallica, just to see how D Mac would react.

You want to see someone kill themselves, go to 2Chan.

every form or derivative of rap every created, ever.

Shitty indie bands
Kanye West
Lil Wayne
R&B

I love this man, and the accordion because of him.

Excessive use of Autotune. Minor pitch correction is fine. The occasional autotuned bar or phrase can be effective. Entire songs of robot vocals = fail.

This or the aforementioned Tom Delonge/Green Day vocals. One of the few things that truly offend me as far as music goes. I'll tolerate bad music, but I will stab you in the throat if you play this around me.

X Factor
Pop Idol, et al

Wiggers
Techno and general club music.

auto-tune in metal, WHY?!

The sensitive guy playing acoustic guitar....you know who I'm talking about.

James Blunt

Arrogant/Ignorant music fans.

A guy I went to college with is totally into metal (stuff like Slipknot, Lamb of God etc), but whenever he meets a girl he'll tell her he's into all sorts of music, I guess just as a way of not puting her off straight away by saying metal. Of course as soon as we're alone and I'm playing anything that isn't metal, he'll be all like 'what the fuck is this shit?', and then go on to play Slipknot etc. :foc:

Also, pretty much all arrogant music fans. Metal fans are usually all 'YYYYEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHH metal is real music, fuck all that crappy pop shit!!!', whereas all those club music people still think metal is just 'distorted noise' and act like it's not real music at all.

Obviously we all have our own tastes, but jeez sometimes I wish people could be more open-minded.
