From other threads, I'm guessing a lot of people have various musicians they can't stand to even hear mentioned, like Morrissey, Good Charlotte etc...
So who are the people that make your blood boil with frustration for their very existence?
Mine are...
Athlete - the only band I've ever heckled "Hi, we're Athlete" "No, you're shit" etc...their blandness offends me
Starsailor - They whine...SO badly, and the sound of James Walsh's voice makes me want to curl into a tight ball and systematically yank every hair from my head.
Taking Back Sunday - I tried listening to them, as I was curious, and I swear I have never heard anything so self indulgently, simperingly awful.
Share! Vent! It's part of the healing process...
-
Morrissey
BINGO!!!
-
I <3 Morrisey.
I can't think of any (indieish) bands that I really hate... loads make me go 'bleh', but that's about it.
-
The Zutons >:O
-
The Bravery - Its been done, Its boring...
The Others (& all the other bands in their little libertine reject circle, Thee Unstrung, Paddingtons etcetcetc) - Just, well theres no words... and no talent!
& I'm REALLY sick of all these supposed new uk bands who are the best thing ever, ie. everyone on the nme tour this year how exactly are they 'the best bands ever' when all they do is re-release the same singles over and over... Its tired, Its lame.... Get a new song!! x
-
Pretty much any band that go around saying/other people go around saying they're emo or metalcore when they're either rubbish indie, rubbish middle of the road rock, rubbish pop or rubbish metal. I hate them all so very, very much.
-

-
Yeah, that band are very much on my hit-list. Bad, bad music.
-
I said it in the Ozzfest thread, but Eighteen Visions, Avenged Sevenfold and Atreyu are all bands that deserve at the very least a punch to the face.
I also dislike a good number of all power metal bands who substitute all ideas of coherent songwriting with 6-minute ego-wank solos. The worst ones are the local bands. Oh, how I hate the local power metal bands. I don't want to listen to your fucking 8 minute songs about epic flowers and epic sands.
-
Good Charlotte.
Simple Plan.
Nickleback.
Slipknot
It's not just the music of the bands that piss me off, its the fans aswell. They shit me to no extent.
-
tough guy straightedge hardcore. fucking gah. the only throwdown fans i've seen are skinhead-esque bastards who punch everyone around with their sweaty muscles. go avay i do not likes yous.
-
A lot of the silly-haircut brigade love Throwdown too. One Life Crew make me a lot madder though. Bad and dodgy politics... urgh. Hatebreed and Born From Pain are also irritating, although in their cases purely musically.
-
Good Charlotte.
Simple Plan.
Nickleback.
Slipknot
seconded.
-
fake jam bands make me cringe. they're just like "here, let's take a perfectly good 4-minute pop song and make it last for 11 WHOLE MINUTES! aren't we SO ROCK?!"
*shudder*
like many a northeastern high school, mine was flooded with dave matthews/john mayer/jack johnson obsessed freaks.
<- is proud to have made it out alive.

Hmmm...where is my LIST.
Breathe in. I'm intolerant and full of hate. Most of you on this forum WILL NOT LIKE a lot of this list:
Mainly Music:
Biffy Clyro
Blink 182
The Books
The Dillinger Escape Plan
The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster
Franz Ferdinand
Good Charlotte
Greenday
HIM
KoRn
Limp Bizkit
Linking Park
The Locust
Loads of other Mathcore bands I haven't mentioned (I can just about tolerate some 'The Number 12 Looks Like You'. That's about it.)
The Offspring
Poison the Well
Propaghandi
EVERY SKA-PUNK BAND I HAVE EVER HEARD. Ever.
Radiohead
Slipknot
'Straight Edge' bands. "Let's stop ingesting drugs (or coffee, or meat) and start HITTING PEOPLE. This will solve all the worlds problems"
These are bands I simply can't tolerate more than one (or sometimes less than one) song of live without getting really aggravated. Many of them are favoured by my school fellows and played too much (ie, at all in most cases) on the common room stereo. Others are just shite.
I've probably forgotten LOADS. Pretty much all straightforward nu-metal and pop-punk will appear here. Not really because of any musical snobbery, simply because I hate pretty much all of them.
-
'Straight Edge' bands. "Let's stop ingesting drugs (or coffee, or meat) and start HITTING PEOPLE. This will solve all the worlds problems"
To be fair, that's just hardline bands.
-
Well, most bands that sing about 'their edge' or about veganism or w/e piss me off. I don't mind bands who are straight edge as much as straight edge bands.
Are Propaghandi Straight Edge? Or do they just dislike everything? 'Cos they piss me off.
Not as much as Earth Crisis though. Fucking hell, those guys need a good dose of crowbar to the face.
-
Nah, Propagandhi like a drink. They are vegan though.
-
'Straight Edge' bands. "Let's stop ingesting drugs (or coffee, or meat) and start HITTING PEOPLE. This will solve all the worlds problems"
The funny part is that most of the sXe people I've ever hung out with are doing some sort of drug behind everyone's back or are so pretentiously full of shit no one would want to hang out with them anyways. Case in point: I was in a decent hXe (HELMET & Quicksand sounding) band for a while and left when they went sXe. Two weeks later I was at a park with half the band dropping acid.
As for bands:
Linkin Park cause they seriously suck twenty donkey asses. Your dad/mom doesn't love you, I get it... now do something else.
Morrisey... why didn't he quit after the Smiths?
Most if not all pop-punk crap. Someone, a long time ago, did something good with it and now everyone is trying to copy it unsuccessfully.
The Used. Seriously... why?
-
The Used. Seriously... why?
Hell yeah.
Also, rap. And all that similiar stuff. All of it. I've tried, I really have, but I just don't get it.
Except the Star Wars rap. That's cool.
-
The Used. Seriously... why?
Also, rap. And all that similiar stuff. All of it. I've tried, I really have, but I just don't get it.
Oh man... I can't believe I forgot to mention that! I don't get rap or most hip hop either. I just can't listen to people talking about ho's, forties, killing, bling, etc. I just don't get it.
-
Dave Matthews Band
The Darkness
Any Rock/Rap Crap
Sum 41
-
The Rasmus
Richard Ashcroft
The Offspring
Avril Lavinge
Bloc Party. Well, it's not a hate, just a slight annoyance. I can't really see what all the fuss is about.
And Muffy. The Athlete thing? Spot on. I personally put them on a Keane level of dullness. Actually, same with Starsailor.
-
i can't stand kasabian, the bravery, or any of these awful new order rip-offs popping up all over the place all of a sudden. or the legion of losers riding on franz ferdinand's coat tails. it's rubbish.
oh, and limp bizkit. no other band on earth deserves to feel the kind of scathing, destructive rage i feel towards those guys right now.
-
Morrissey and all that "come away from the scary music that needs an ear to listen to and solos are the work of Satan and make you go blind and your bits fall off" stuff.
Oh and Jeff Buckley is never getting any love from me ever.
-
Morrissey and all that "come away from the scary music that needs an ear to listen to and solos are the work of Satan and make you go blind and your bits fall off" stuff.
So...you like technical death metal? Or not?
-
Love it.
-
Woo!
So, what was all that tirade to say you hate then?
-
Avril Lavigne - So this one isn't all that 'irrational' because anyone with half a brain cell hates her. But she deserves a mention.
-
But Dued, shE's so Hawt, and sHe's Tr0u PUNK RAWK !!11!1!2
-
Hmmm...where is my LIST.
EVERY SKA-PUNK BAND I HAVE EVER HEARD. Ever.
.
damn you to hell mofo.... Aquabats own my pilum
anyway, my list consists of bands such as....
The Killers.
god i hate that band
-
Woo!
So, what was all that tirade to say you hate then?
Ahh, that's my crap wording, sorry. I mean music that's anti that idea. That's all soft and stuff, yet hailled as brilliant playing etc. The whole idea that loud muisc can't be good and that solos are just wankery and only for "stupid prog" fans, etc.
If you get what I mean better now.
-

Very much. We're in the territory I normally categorise as 'all that shoegazer and post-rock crap' right?
-
Some of it, yes. More so all that singer/songwriter stuff and bands like Coldplay and Keane moreso.
Mainly because there's a few bits of Post-Rock I like and I love Drone as well.
-
I hate bands that work harder for their image than on their songwriting.
Also a few to top my list:
Evanesance -- the band that really showed me how retarded the 'gothic' scene was
Nickelback
Creed
Godsmack
Good Charlotte
Oh, and KharBevNor, yes I do disagree with a few of your choices but we all have our own musical tastes. There is a lot of stuff you listen to that I don't like and I don't expect you to like everything i listen to.
Kudos for being able to bring the conflicting point of view to a generally indie forum. :)
-
The Zutons >:O
I hate them too. I have never heard their music or anything dealing with them but i want to fucking kill them.
Also, muse.
-
Evanesance - One thing I will never forget is one of their 13 year old fans asking on some board "Has anyone heard the new Evanesance, 'Claude Terranova'"
Claude Terranova being some Jazz artist and Evanesance being the album name. Sigh, says it all really.
-
Kudos for being able to bring the conflicting point of view to a generally indie forum. :)
OoooOOoooh, Kudos. Can I exchange that for scene points anywhere?
-
I have an irrational hate and love simultaneously of Ol' Rubber Nose: Mortiis
-
Opeth
Dillenger Escape Plan
Meshuggah
Slipknot
Lamb of God
Shadows Fall
God Forbid
My Chemical Romance
The Killers
Modest Mouse
Bright Eyes
Dashboard Confessional
Pretty much anything else that's emo, indie-rock, pop-punk, nu-metal, metalcore, or hardcore.
I hate a lot of music.
-
Well, I don't do hate.
I just don't get why Sonic Youth are still considered great. Granted I haven't heard the Nurse album but the last couple (something Leaves and NYC something something or other) didn't do anything to impress me and grew annoying after awhile.
-
Any cock-rock band that has been in existance or is, especially Guns and Roses and Bon Jovi, other than that most mainstream music nowadays, cali-"punk" etc.
oh and most metal, Slayer and the lot, I just think that it is sad, even more so with Slipknot, I mean guys go see a therapist ;)
Opeth for being boring to an extreme though I tried to get into it. The irony of it all is that I am listening to Tool right now, though they are apparently not metal, they are the closest to metal I can endure.
and a little cheap shot: as good as every band that has ever participated in the Eurovision Song Contest, is it me or is it getting worse than hideous..
-
Hey now, Slipknot aren't even Metal either, just a bunch of wannabes.
But with Metal, the more people know it, often the more likely it is to suck or start sucking. Like most things really.
-
Blink 182, Simple Plan, Sum 41, Creed... although I wouldn't call my dislike of said bands as irrational. Can you say insipid?
-
Keane (although the lead singer is cute X3)
Lindsay Lohan. (the chick can't even sing!)
Kanye West
50 Cent
My Chemical Romance
Alexisonfire
And I'll end this with a word from Kanye:
JEE! ZUSS! WALKS!
God show me the way, cuz the devil's tryn' ta take me down!
JEE! ZUSS! WALKS! WITH ME!
-
Simple Plan, Bon Jovi (I know i'll take some flak off of that one.) The Killers.
People I hate
Sting, Courtney Love, Bono , Ryan Seacrest, Bob the Builder (I hate that guy!) and don't forget about Prince Charles ( Hes got frigging elf ears.) and Jason Newstead. ( I just don't like his attitude thats all.)
-
I must confess, I enjoy a lot of the new wave of NME-pimped indie bands that many of you disparage, but I'm not going to say the're the best things ever.
That being said though, I have a violent and utterly irrational disgust over anything and anyone involved with The Libertines or *hack* Babyshambles. This is due in so small part to NME drooling over them like the Second Coming, as well as their constant idolisation of Pete Doherty who is, in my mind, a moronic skaghead who'll whinge to the papers just to buy another gram. Frankly I can see him being dead in a year unless attitudes change. Him taking heroin does not make him some romantic poet, it makes him a fucking fool.
As I said, utterly irrational. I don't *want* to like him or his music, or that of the Libertines. Any other band I'd give half a chance, but not them.
And again, paradoxically I like bands wherein several members have done drugs or died of drugs, it's just Doherty's situation and the media's treatment of it that I resent.
Or something...
-
Also, I hate black metal rabidly, and anyone who wears corpsepaint on stage needs to be shot in the goddamn face. Preferrably with a low-caliber weapon, so they don't die immediately.
-
Hmm, this thread seems to have potential to be silly and pointless. Hardly constructive or anything like that.
-
I too hate The Killers, that fucking single is so awful that I can't even enjoy Mr. Brightside. Nobody gives two shits if he heard about a dude that looked like a chick and was dating hi.... (brain dies)
-
Of course it has no point, but we need to sprea the hate! And besides, if we focus it on bands we're (likely) never going to meet, it saves us from being bitchy to each other...at least, that's my skewed logic.
i can't stand kasabian, the bravery, or any of these awful new order rip-offs popping up all over the place all of a sudden. .
Dude, I'd forgotten quite how much I despised Kasabian. One of the most soul-suckingly boring gigs I've ever been to. See, they have this one song, which goes like 'ah aha ahhhhhhaaaaaaah', which is quite good. Then they have the one that goes 'naaaaahaaaa ahhhh ahhh' which is less good, andd then they have the one which goes 'aaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaahnyuuuuugh', which is pretty bad. And the rest all sound like that. So I hate them, rather passionately. And, the fact they use 'fag' as an insult and think Oasis are good makes them ain to demons in my eyes.
And Khar - I agree with much of your list, but I feel I'm on my own when I say I will defend 80s Matchbox to the hilt, solely on the grounds that they're nice people and Psychosis Safari was an immense tune...
-
I don't think I'd have any real specific objection to 80MBBLD if this one guy at school didn't keep putting on this one album of theirs. Over and over and over.
I also think their songs sound pretty samey tbh.
-
No, that's pretty fair, I'm fully aware that my bias is entirely personal, and if I'm totally honest, the first time I saw them live, they sucked ass. But they've improved since then, and as one of them was down the pub with us tonight, I feel the need to defend the honour!
Also, Laura - I share your hatred of The Others. I saw them live, and between every other song, Dominic Masters was virtually pleading with the audience to buy the album because it was bombing so badly...and they're guitairist is Brighton's biggest scenester twat. Ever. He looks like Jo Brand, too, which clearly doesn't help..
-
One Life Crew make me a lot madder though. Bad and dodgy politics... urgh.
What's that Charles Bronson song? "One Life Crew Goes on Slimfast" I think. I've actually never heard that band, although I've heard Pitboss 2000, who weren't bad, but weren't particulary good either.
I fucking despise, DESPISE, Dave Matthews Band. I cannot tolerate it, even a little. I'll tolerate bands I dislike, there are a lot of them, but DMB makes me want to crush, kill and destroy.
Generally, I don't like much of anything that's on the radio (classic rock excluded). Beyond that, I love music, all forms of it, and I'll listen to anything once, so I can't generalize too much. I won't lie though, a lot of indie rock I don't find enjoyable, and yes, I realize that's a terrible thing to say in this forum.
Oh, one generalization, Rock Against Communism (racist rock). This extends, naturally, to NSBM. Fuck Varg Vikernes. Suprisingly many of the bands (RAC and NSBM) are quite musically adept, but I can't listen to or support that crap.
-
I have made a pledge never to actually buy an NSBM album. But some Burzum is really tempting. The fact that they're now distributed by a Resistance record subsidiary holds me back, but some of the early records are just so 'effing good...I really did pass Burzum up because of VV's politics until I bought 'Fenriz Presents: The Best of Old School BM'. I was just listening to it casually and 'Ea, Lord of the Deeps' came on and simply blew me away. If I ever do succumb to temptation it'll be the version of the self titled that comes with the Aske EP, and nothing else. Burzum never actually pushes a neo-nazi message in anything but the most stupendously obscure of ways anyway.
Plus, there are some fucking good Burzum shirts. Theodore Kittelsen is a brilliant artist, but people will think I'm a nazi! Maybe I should buy one just to wear under my jacket covered in anti-nazi badges...Irony eh wot?
-
The Doors. Meaningless stoner pseudo-poetic bollocks.
All "emo" bands in the Dashboard/Brand New/Taking Back Sunday vein. Mainly because of the people who think it's something other than soulless, unoriginal guitar pop with crap lyrics and bad fashion sense.
All NME-touted new-fangled rock-n-roll bands, except The Strokes because they're quite good. I haven't actually listened to a lot of those bands, but all the ones i have heard I've hated. Scratchy-guitared indie fashionista disco nonsense.
Dullard indie boy bands. Athelete, Starsailor, Keane. Coldplay are okay because they write some good songs and don't make me feel sick.
Crappy third-wave ska bands, because they detract from the public perception of all the fucking awesome third-wave ska bands. I can't really name many, but I mainly blame Reel Big Fish for most of them.
Oh, and anything that KharBevNor listens to.
-
Oh, and anything that KharBevNor listens to.
Did I do something to you in a former life? o.o

Dashboard Confessional
there's nothing irrational about hating dashboard confessional.
-

That's the one. Man I love the Bronson, they make me wish I was still a bit chunky so I could fit into their t-shirt. They had so much wonderful hate within them.
Pearl Jam. One of the most boring bands of all time. Possibly even more boring than recent Hatebreed, or AFI. Now that's an achievement.
-
Isis...fell asleep standing up watching them once...literally...I don't know, I think I just did not like the singer himself...something about him...or other factors but that's all I remember then...and when Mogwai played I was wide awake...
k, so not exactly hate but something bugs me about them just not sure what
-
Jet.
-
Nothing irrational about that.
-
Throwdown-You guys fucking suck...I am sorry when all you can think of lyricaly wise is "Throw your hands in the air, Dance the Fuck Up, Drug Free" or "For Myself, For My Family, For My Friends, Forever...STRAIGHT FUCKIN EDGE" you just fuckin blow
Taking Back Sunday
Thursday
Good Charlotte
Simple Plan
Morbid Angel
Cradle Of Filth
All Death Metal
All Pop Punk
Most of Emo.
-
For the record, I'd like to state that my hatred of Morrissey is not irrational. He's a whiney, mopey tosser - why wouldn't I hate him?
-
Well, most bands that sing about 'their edge' or about veganism or w/e piss me off. I don't mind bands who are straight edge as much as straight edge bands.
Carcass are vegan, do they piss you off? Cos, man, they're fucking Carcass. "Arbeit Macht Fleisch" is one of my theme songs.
-
Carcass are vegan, do they piss you off? Cos, man, they're fucking Carcass. "Arbeit Macht Fleisch" is one of my theme songs.
Totally different thing, really. I love Carcass, and Cattle Decapitation. That kind of nihilistic self-disgusting veganism is a totally different kettle of fish to, say, Earth Crisis.
-
Haha this is bad... The first part of my list is gonna get run out of the forum, I know, hehe. Ok here goes:
For the longest time I couldn't STAND The Flaming Lips. I have since revised my opinion of them and am actually starting to dig them, but for years I HATED them.
The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The White Stripes, 99% of all bands with 'The' as the first word in their name that came out in the last 5-10 years...
Beck
Dave Matthews
Radiohead
REM
Smashing Pumpkins
Phish
Anything Metal
Most of anything MTV will play
Pink Floyd
Cypress Hill
Moby
Oasis
Can't think of any more off the top of my head, but there's more. It should be noted that I'm actually starting to get into the 'Indie' music stuff, thanks in large part to QC/this forum.
-
I fully blame Korn, Slipknot and every no longer Metal sellout band for making people not like Metal. And then I'm glad of it.
-
Radiohead is probably my biggest hate, next to all the obvious choice (Sum 41/Blink 182/Korn/Slipknot/etc) That aren't worht mentioning.
-
my list goes as such:
most hip-hop/rnb - it's such a soulless fucking scene i have no idea how anyone in their right minds could listen to it - though granted it alright to dance to, albeit rarely... also, strangely enough i'm a fan of rap music (at least any rap music that goes a little further than 'i've got more hoes than you, fuck you, etc)
"Dullard indie boy bands. Athelete, Starsailor, Keane" - yeah - can't stand them either - but i do like coldplay (in moderation)
Death metal - well, thing is, i don't mind them musically (i like metal in general), it's just the two factors that really put me off, a) that high-pitched-whiny-screaming-modulated voice that seems to define the genre, and b) the whole white makeup-death tinged obsession...
um... yeah, that'a bout it i guess. i'm sure i'm missing something, but that's the general idea
-
Uhmmmm, Death Metal has nothing to do with Corpse Paint and all Death vox should be low gutteral growls.
Must be thinking of Black Metal.
-
I've heard Coldplay very aptly described as "bed-wetter's music."
-
I'm noting that down for future use.
-
I believe they were described thus by a British reviewer - not sure who, though.
-
that high-pitched-whiny-screaming-modulated voice that seems to define the genre
Death Metal isn't the one with the high pitched whiny screaming (I hate that too, so.) Death metal tends to have a much darker, deeper voice.
-
That voice doesn't feature a lot of black metal either actually.
-
Whenever I think of the high pitched voices the genres "Hardcore" and "Screamo" come to mind. In other news, what the hell kind of name for a genre is Screamo?
-
It something that wants to sound hard even thougn it's Emo.
-
Emo:
"Boo hoo!"
Screamo:
"WAAH WAAH!"
Hardcore:
"GRRR GRRR"
Mathcore:
"kijKFPOSFPOJhwshfsjfhosfHEIHBADGERSTORM"
-
Three Of A Kind (the members should all be shot twice. Once for Babycakes, then once more for the accompanying music video)
Hoobastank.
3 Doors Down.
Etc.
-
Fond memory from my radio-listening days - this joke was reportedly told off-air by Bob Geldof to two of the D.J.s on Triple-J here in Australia:
Q: You have Sting, Rod Stewart, and Bryan Adams in a room, and a gun with two bullets. Who do you shoot?
A: Bryan Adams, twice.
-
I have made a pledge never to actually buy an NSBM album. But some Burzum is really tempting. The fact that they're now distributed by a Resistance record subsidiary holds me back, but some of the early records are just so 'effing good...I really did pass Burzum up because of VV's politics until I bought 'Fenriz Presents: The Best of Old School BM'. I was just listening to it casually and 'Ea, Lord of the Deeps' came on and simply blew me away. If I ever do succumb to temptation it'll be the version of the self titled that comes with the Aske EP, and nothing else. Burzum never actually pushes a neo-nazi message in anything but the most stupendously obscure of ways anyway.
Plus, there are some fucking good Burzum shirts. Theodore Kittelsen is a brilliant artist, but people will think I'm a nazi! Maybe I should buy one just to wear under my jacket covered in anti-nazi badges...Irony eh wot?
NSBM is actually some of my favorite music. Nokturnal Mortum, Gontyna Kry, Graveland, Kataxu, Ohtar, Veles, Kristallnacht. . good stuff. I don't really consider Burzum NS because he doesn't really express these ideas in his music.
Now, I'm not a Nazi, though I am fascinated with them, and sometimes it's funny to joke about being a Nazi and piss people off. But when it comes down to it, I don't hate anybody because of their race. In fact my fellow bandmember is Chinese, his parents came over from Hong Kong, and he speaks fluent Cantonese, and for a while we also had a drummer who was Mexican. Doesn't give me a lot of room to be racist before you guys start accusing me of such because I like racist music.
I just think it's possible to listen to and appreciate a certain type of music without whole-heartedly agreeing with their message. I listen to bands that praise Satan over and over and over but I'm honestly not a Satanist. I don't even believe in Satan. (though I certainly am very anti-Christian, but that's not the same thing) Music is about art, and you don't have to agree with everything an artist thinks to appreciate his or her work. Hell, my bassist Wallace (the Chinese guy) loves NSBM.
In fact, I think the racist ideals serve a positive purpose in the music. Black metal was always about struggle and conflict. Black metal is not a genre of music based around "fairness" or "accept everybody." Such ideas are a very Christian way of thinking, which is the polar opposite of black metal ideology. Let me emphasize again at this point I myself am not racist, though I do understand a racist viewpoint and can appreciate the art that comes from it.
Anyways, a lot of NSBM has a really epic feel to it such as Nokturnal Mortum, Gontyna Kry, and Graveland, which are my favorite NS bands.
KharBevNor, I know you like Ancient Rites so you should check out Nokturnal Mortum. . try getting ahold of Weltanschaaung, Goat Horns, or NeChrist. All three are amazing.
-
I wouldn't say acceptance of everybody was much of a christian ideal. It's a fairly judgemental religion, like most are.
But you're right that listening to Nazi/racist music doesn't mean you hold those ideals yourself. I find it interesting that someone will get attacked for listening to NSBM but if another person was to mention reading TS Eliot or Ezra Pound they wouldn't bat an eyelid.
-
sometimes it's funny to joke about being a Nazi
No, not really.
-
Ahh, so rare to read something decent about NSBM. And of cours, as it's been said, just because you listen to those views, doesn't mean you hold them yourself.
-
Does Hillary Duff count?
-
No. It is not irrational to hate Hilary Duff.
-
Emo:
"Boo hoo!"
Screamo:
"WAAH WAAH!"
Hardcore:
"GRRR GRRR"
Mathcore:
"kijKFPOSFPOJhwshfsjfhosfHEIHBADGERSTORM"
Death/Black/Most metal:
"GRHOHHHHHHHH"
Garage rock a la the Vines:
"Huhn no na whuh huh"
Heh, that's fun.
-
No. It is not irrational to hate Hilary Duff.
Very true...
Well then I suppose I can't post here because I don't think I'm capable of irrationally hating anything, heh.
-
i... used to like taking back sunday... as recently as a month ago.
i still have a t-shirt. i'm too lazy to get rid of it.
*weeps quietly*
....any band that has ever taken a picture of all the members sitting around looking disinterested, with at least one member wearing converse.
-
That pisses me off too, especially since it's like, 87% of purevolume, but that's not irrational.
-
I haven't really listened to some of the named bands enough to truely hate them. But I do hate one in particular, Rush. I think it all started when I heard "If you chose not to decided you still have made a choice." I remember slamming my head into the dashboard yelling "No Fuck." It's so painfully obvious, and that's why no one thinks about it.
-
Death/Black/Most metal:
"GRHOHHHHHHHH"
Garage rock a la the Vines:
"Huhn no na whuh huh"
Heh, that's fun.
70's Punk:
"FUCKFUCKBOLLOCKSFUCK!!"
Post-punk:
*sigh*
Goth rock:
"eeeuggggghhhh..."
-
Emo:
"Boo hoo!"
Screamo:
"WAAH WAAH!"
Hardcore:
"GRRR GRRR"
Mathcore:
"kijKFPOSFPOJhwshfsjfhosfHEIHBADGERSTORM"
Hahahaha, thats gold. I hate hardcore and math rock bands. So much. So many times have i been forced to go with my friend to these types of shows. If she wasnt cool, I'd kill her.
God. I hate country too. But most sane people do, so no surprise there.
-
Post-punk:
*sigh*
You forgot: *sudden, soaring, climactic vocal*
-
Another description I heard -
Punk is - 'I fucked your mother. Deal with it'.
Emo is - 'I fucked your mother. Why won't she call me back?'
-
eminfuckingem
It's like a marriage of emo and gangsta corporate rap. Two wrongs do NOT make a right.
-
I dislike that I cant listen to my dood old indie music no more on campus without some ECB sorority girls coming up and saying "OMG THATS LIKE TOTALLY MY FAVORITE SONG IN THE WHOLE WORLD"'
And I'd say Nickleback too but thats not irrational, I have very good reasons for that
-
I wouldn't say acceptance of everybody was much of a christian ideal. It's a fairly judgemental religion, like most are.
But you're right that listening to Nazi/racist music doesn't mean you hold those ideals yourself. I find it interesting that someone will get attacked for listening to NSBM but if another person was to mention reading TS Eliot or Ezra Pound they wouldn't bat an eyelid.
Alright, I admit it, I like the Skrewdriver album "Hail the New Dawn." It's good, and they were still a punk band when they made it. And I like Arresting Officers. And Skullhead. However, I still do not support RAC or NSBM as genres, although I agree that people can listen to whatever the hell the wish. I really don't care. When you have a shaved head like I do, you gotta be careful admitting to shit like that because you've already been judged.
Funny, I've been accused a Nazi many times, but never once a Communist, despite my love of Brigada Flores Magon.
-
That whole skinhead = racist thing is so fucking dumb it's ridiculous. It always seems like Antifa et al have more skins than morons like the BNP. It amazes me that people will still judge you like that.
-

Well, you're in Britain, I'm in the US. Here, skinhead = Ed Norton with a swastika tattoo. When I tell people there are more anti-racist skinheads than fascist skins they are shocked.
-
Queen, just because everyone round here won't hear a word against them.
Nirvana, because nobody can see what fakes they were
-
i also hate nirvana. all that angst and fucking testoterone
jet
70s punk
early ska/reggae
ska/reggae
dance music
jet.
the datsuns.
the casanovas.
jet.
i really hate jet
-
for jet...hmm, not irrational
-
To be honest, I can't really get into any indie bands, I really dislike most of it *ducks and waits for the verbal/physical abuse to start*
Also...50 fucking cent, what the hell is that about? The guys been shot what 9 times...take a hint dude, people want you DEAD
-
Queen, just because everyone round here won't hear a word against them.

Only thinh worse than Nirvana is listening to Mudhoney fans complaining about Nirvana apprently ripping them off.
And sliding up and down the B string is no a god damn solo. I think even Indie "solos are evil" Kids can see that.
-
Also...50 fucking cent, what the hell is that about? The guys been shot what 9 times...take a hint dude, people want you DEAD
that is... beautiful, I almost cried with joy ;)
-
I really dislike HED PE.
Hardcore + Rap + Obnoxius lyrics = pile of shit that has no right being on Headbanger's Ball.
-
I fully blame Korn, Slipknot and every no longer Metal sellout band for making people not like Metal. And then I'm glad of it.
Reminds me: I can't stand like 90% of the metal that's out there. I just can't stand it. It all seems to be self-indulgent, nihilistic, down-tuned musical wankery supported half the time by a guy who sounds like a dying bear, about 2/5ths of the time by some guy who sounds like he'd fit in perfectly with a castrato choir, and the other ten percent are supported by a girl or a person of indeterminable gender.
-
Man that's some conflicting views on Metal. But then it's a very music driven genre...just what part of the music drives it can vary A LOT.
I dunno what stuff you've actually heard, but hey if you like even 10% there will probably be a few more bands you'd like. Give into the good stuff.
-
Metal is such a HUGE and multi-faceted genre with tons of subgenres and subgenres of those subgenres. I'm sure there's some kind of metal you can get into no matter who you are.
-
Axl Rose. And Guns and Roses.
Jon Bon Jovi as well.
Grrrrr
-
Hating Axl Rose is not irrational. Infact, it's just the opposite. I have the samw effect with Ted Nugent.
-
I don't think I dislike any bands that aren't very obviously atrociously bad (Blink 182 types that don't warrant mention). All those borderline/interesting but not for me type bands/intelligent, or creative but a little annoying bands... I usually end up liking while I am in the process of putting them down.
"I hate that band."
Listens to tracks to prove theory.
"Nevermind. That was dope."
There's more "like" (not love) in me than hate.
-
Morrisey
Antony and the Johnsons
Secret Machines
The Killers
Stellastarr*
Underoath
Wolf Eyes
Fiery Furnaces
Joanna Newsom
And prolly some more that I can't think of.
-
poor ol' Fiery Furnaces...I loved them live but the first cd, not the latest one which I have not heard, well that one before...meh, not like them live at all
-
i hate to agree with the ataris (and boy, do i hate it), but ben lee does kinda suck. which is a shame. so many of the famous aussie acts are just shit, when theres so much good stuff down here. i also hate killing heidi, jet and pete murray.
-
Franz Ferdinand. I swear if i hear them again. I mean, I will swear if i hear them again. Loudly.
Whats wrong with Stellastarr*? Good music, mental singer, hot bassist. What's not to like?
Anyone think NME bands are similar to 80's hair bands (Bon Jovi etc)? They're hyped way beyond their talents, dress like mongols, sound just like eachother, and are strangely popular. Man, I hate Bon Jovi. Prick.
-
I used to have an irrational hatred of the Shins because my best friend talked about how great they were ALL THE TIME. However, now I'm just as bad as she is.
-
Whats wrong with Stellastarr*? Good music, mental singer, hot bassist. What's not to like?
Liking a band because the members are "hot" what are you, an 8 year old girl? I want to find the person that started this Indie music of boring = good and beat them to death. That's my main problem with Stellastarr*
-
The "hot" comment was a joke. Thanks anyway.
-
I'll give everything a chance but I've generally disliked anything that I've heard from HIM, The Rasmus, and Jack Off Jill. Apart from that there's either something that I've heard and at least vaguely enjoyed from any given band, or I might have not heard enough for a balanced opinion.
-
Jack off Jill pwn HIM and the Rasmus with a +10 used razorblade of owning.
The Rasmus suck. HIM I have a feeling I might quite like but for those fucking heartagrams everywhere, and all those stupid fucking girls drooling over Ville Valo*.
Nergal from Behemoth is clearly much hotter.
*They are still quite boring though
-
I have this promo copy of Demigod, and the photo on it features Behemoth doing their best poses, and Nergal is such a total hottie.
-
The one where he's on his knees, in makeup?
That picture makes me wet. The one where he's in the throne too. ^____^;
-
I think that's the one, yeah. Also, the idea of you doing one of those anime-type smileys makes me laugh like few other things.
-
Man, I hate Bon Jovi. Prick.
Soooooooooo seconded. Wow, I can't believe I forgot them. I mean wow- they're crap.
Forget what I said about not being hateful enough.
-
I am prepared to get verbally berated for this....
Metallica
*hurls*
Perhaps it's partially because they are the untimate music sharing Nazis, or because I think it's a disgrace to call it metal. And I am certainly no metal mafiaso, I only like a little bit of it (Acid Bath, In Flames, The Gathering, a few more) But I don't think anyone who likes metal should claim Metallica. All the time I hear "oh well they are sellouts now, but their older stuff is good"
Ok, hardly. Enter Sandman and Whiskey in a Jar are 2 songs I can think of that I like, but for them supposedly being the best metal band of all time, they are so highly dissapointing I never want to have to listen to them again!
-
Acid Bath
Big big big big big <3. Acid Bath are one of my favourite bands ever.
I totally agree with you about metallica. They produced some good albums, and one or two very good songs back in the day. Then they released the black album, which was an ok album with a few good songs. Then they released a load of crap, which was at least 98% crap, though occasionally they churned a decent rocker out.
Lars Ulric really is a humongous turd-burglar though.
-
Poke, most Metalheads know Metallica sucked. Master of Puppets = Average at best.
Dark Angel where are FAR better Thrash band.
-
Anyone think NME bands are similar to 80's hair bands (Bon Jovi etc)? They're hyped way beyond their talents, dress like mongols, sound just like eachother, and are strangely popular. Man, I hate Bon Jovi. Prick.
Agreed, with some exceptions (Franz Ferdinand, Bloc Party, The Futureheads). Bon Jovi make me angry.
-
Sum 41. Fucking hacks.
-
Sum 41 is not an irrational thing to hate at all. In fact, any band that sounds like they conned their name from an AIM chat room is pretty hatred worthy.
-
I never thought that Metallica were the best metal band ever or anything silly like that, but they had a great sound on Ride The Lightning that still sounds fresh - if anything, Ride The Lightning sounds a lot less dated than 80s albums from (good) bands such as Iron Maiden and Mercyful Fate. I am fairly indifferent about them other than that, though, and I get the impression that most metal fans are too - if I were to go for a metal album in 1984, I would still pick Celtic Frost's Morbid Tales over Ride The Lightning.
That said, if you were to round up any fifty people into a room and make them listen to Ride The Lightning and Morbid Tales I wouldn't bet on Morbid Tales coming out of it too well.
-

Might I say that I love you, Kai, and I hate Sum 41 to a degree that mere mortals could not understand. Their name does suck like none other.
I shall now sacrifice a goat to the gods that control good music and other happy awesome stuff.

Mars Volta.
I can not STAND these guys. The singer annoys me so much. He practically swallows the entire mic live.
UGH
-
i like their song "the window" but i dont like the way they look or the video that much... but yeah i am into the punk/emo thing but i hate simple plan b/c they are sell outs and my friend likes to call them MTV whores for a lil show called damage control
-
That said, if you were to round up any fifty people into a room and make them listen to Ride The Lightning and Morbid Tales I wouldn't bet on Morbid Tales coming out of it too well.
I dunno, depends on the people. I could probably find a fair number of that fifty that do/would love Morbid Tales. Because Celtic Frost are awesome.
-
The White Stripes.... I'm not sure why... I guess that's why its irrational... they just seem to be 30 years late.
-

Ride The Lightning has much more of a mainstream appeal than Morbid Tales.
As for the Mercyful Fate comparisons, listen to Kill Em All, it's pure MF worship/ripoff.
-
I really can't stand Tool!
They just don't ROCK! Nice if you like songs about nebulii. Uhh.. Nebuluses.
Also Kenny G!
~ B
-
Good Charlotte. My hatred of them is very rationalized. It's not just their music, but it's also their fan base and the image they put out to the mainstream about being punk.
And The Rasmus. I don't hate them; just the fact that their image doesn't match their music.
Otherwise, I like all other bands, some more/less than others.
-
I have grown to hate Nine Inch Nails. Everytime I hear "Closer" (and trust me, I hear it a lot all of a sudden) I yell at the person who is playing it. It's not that they suck or anything, it's just that I'm really really tired of hearing that song, and that cascades into their other work.
-
Why are you people not saying Evanescence?! The need to be dragged out into the street and kill'd.
And, as much as I hate to say it, Modest Mouse. I tried, really I did. I tried long and hard. Not a fan.
-
I've never quite understood why people hate Evanescence quite so much. They always seemed pretty inoffensive to me, if dastardly poserish (but if that was a criterion I could compile you an insanely massive list). I suppose it could be to do with the fact that they hardly get any air-time over here, a situation which I guess may be somewhat different in America?
-
I'm also in the irrational dislike of metal boat. I tend to place too much focus on lyrics and vocal talent (which isn't helped by the fact that I don't play an instrument.)
I dislike Evanescence because I don't like the lyrics or image. And since I don't like metal (esp. "goth" metal)... it's just a bad combination if you're trying to get on my good side. Which they're clearly not. And that's respectable.
-
Evanescence aren't metal. Or goth. But that's quite beside the point.
-
Simple Plan and Good Charlotte, or any of the new pop punk bands. I mean, damn, I'd like to be more open midned, but they just look and sound like idiots.They just sound way to friggin' pop(ish), it's like someone formed a boy band, but decided to give them instruments to.
-
Post-dead Mayhem.
awful, awful stuff. Only saving grace is Hellhammer's masterful drumwork, but niether Atilla nor Maniac were ever good vocalists.
-
It's not often you can say that the scene literally killed the band...
-
aerosmith. i even hate the songs of their's that aren't bad, if that makes any sense.
-
Metal-Emo Metal-Punk Grind-anything pretty much all metal fusions with other music. Used an excuse to sing like shite while removing what makes either genre good.
-
Evanescence aren't metal. Or goth. But that's quite beside the point.
Very true, they aren't either of those but I do have an irrational like of them. My ex and I even went to see them back in 03 and it turns out a friend of my bfs was at the same gig so they can't be that unpopular (though the number of 12 year old girls dressed IDENTICALLY to Amy Lee was quite pathetic but it was the same with the 12 year old boys at the HIM concert I went to last year)
-
I think Evanescence are okay. Their singer is quite good at singing. That guy with the beard who plays guitar is annoying though.
-

I hear a HIM concert is just like a sea of heads that come up to your chest, gently bouncing.
I also have no real objection to Evanescense, though I don't think I'd choose to listen to them or buy an album. They strike me as a more mainstream Lacuna Coil. And Lacuna Coil are pretty good, I've seen 'em live.
-
The HIM concert did kinda look like that but I went for the music not the audience and I was on the balcony. Evanescence, I prob wouldn't have bought their album but my ex bought it as a guilty pres for standing me up one day and I kind of ended up getting into them. I dout I'd see HIM again, as I was one of the eldest there and at the time I was 16 S
Edit: whats the best Lucana Coil album, my b'days coming up and one of their cd's is on the list but I don't know which one..help me :) This is off topic so PM me with the answer or this'll end up lock'd
-
Ryan Adams.
I don't know why. He's just not appealing.
-
I guess I have an irrational hate of speed metal or any other metal with screaming. It's weird because I like albums like Irony Is A Dead Scene and Chaosphere, but most times anything with screaming I'll skip.
-
U2. I just hate them so much. Now I respect some of the work that Bono has done for the world but their music just sucks and annoys the crap out of me. Bono and that entire band is so false.
-
I guess I have an irrational hate of speed metal or any other metal with screaming.
....What? Speed/Thrash stuff uses Clean vocals. Might not be the best in the world and some might get a little high, but contasting screaming isnt a straight Thrash thing.
Chaosphere...which one? There's four Metal bands called that as far as I know.
-
Chaosphere...which one? There's four Metal bands called that as far as I know.
Considering that 'Irony Is A Dead Scene' is the name of the Dillinger Escape Plan/Mike Patton collaboration CD, I think he meant the Meshuggah album named 'Chaosphere'.
-
Sorry...really wasn't paying attention to the rest of the post....bah.
-
I will probably get lynched for saying I don't like the lead singer's voice for The Shins on the stuff I've listened to.

Yeah I meant it like speed metal and any other metal with screaming.
And yeah, I was referring to the Meshuggah album.
It was a very vague post. My bad.

*Agrees with Driftwood*

I despise conor oberst. I don't know what it is about him, not really his music, just him. I was either born with an irrational hatred of him, or I have become obsessed with the idea of fighting him. I want to fight him, I think it would be hilarious.
I think it would be funny to fight Billy Corgan too... but I really like Siamese Dream, so I probably won't do that.
And just to stay on the topic of fighting musicians, I would relish the opportunity to face off my crew against My Chemical Romance. Not only is their music horrible, but their appearance... GOD!!! The first time I saw them I thought the were a joke (thought they started their band and did their make up that way as a joke). Ever since I found out my assumption was incorrect, I have wished for their demise.
a brawl between Avril Lavigne, Ashlee Simpson, the girl in the white stripes and the donnas would be pretty awesome too, but only if all of them were injured to an extent that prevented them from ever performing "music" again.
ok, that is enough of that. I am going to stop listening to Radiohead now.
-
First off I would love to slap Conor Oberst like the little bitch that he is.
I would also love to kick the crap out of the guys from Sum 41.
And after the new single someone needs to beat up Jack White.
-
U2. I just hate them so much. Now I respect some of the work that Bono has done for the world but their music just sucks and annoys the crap out of me. Bono and that entire band is so false.
I totally agree, except some of their early stuff was decent...the latest one is complete crap though.
Other band that I disdain.....Tokyo Smash....not sure if anyone on here has heard them, they are "Hardcore"....as much a joke as that entire "scene" is, everyone in my state seems to love them even though the singer sounds like a bunch of cats in a burlap sack being flogged with a board full of rusty nails.
-
GAH! WHY DOES EVERYONE HATE CONOR OBERST SO MUCH?
-
Probably because he's turned into a teen idol and just about every girl on the face of the planet is going " OMG HE"S SO HOTT!!!!111!!" though, I don't have anything against him, I don't even listen to his music.
-
Anyone actually that horribly depressed would have killed themselves years ago. It posuer crap. Made to sell records to socially uptight kids, and those trying to appear "in touch with their emotions". And the fact he looks like Wynona Ryder.
-
*grumbles*
It's not poseur-ish, it's story-telling, it's just that all the stories happen to be bloody miserable...
I'm gonna lose this one, I can feel it.
I'll quit while I'm not that far behind ;)
-
Disturbed.
I'd like to swing from Davey Draymand chin rings till his jaw rips off.
-
My Chemical Romance.
These guys really annoy me, especailly because they spring to mind whenever I think of My Bloody Valentine(a good band by the way). It's probably something in the name, you know romance - valentine, i don't konw.... they just annoy me.
-
MCR were way better when they sung songs about vampires and murderers and shooting up liqour stores. I picked up their first album year and a half or so back, and thought it above average for an emo band, especially in the amount that I liked them. I even went to see them when they swung through my nearest city on their first European tour.
Now they're on the front of Kerrang more than Slipknot! And their new album also happens to be very cliche and suckerific. I don't know how people can honestly bring themselves to listen to 'I'm not Okay (I Promise)'.
-
Post-dead Mayhem.
awful, awful stuff. Only saving grace is Hellhammer's masterful drumwork, but niether Atilla nor Maniac were ever good vocalists.
Haha, I for one love Atilla's work. He's such a weird bastard.
Maniac though is quite an annoying bastard. I'm glad Atilla is again in Mayhem, though I'm guessing he won't save them.
-
1) Khar, I highly disagree. MCR's new album puts them in the same league as moneen and Alexisonfire, in that it's so far, musically, past emo as to almost be a genre unto itself. Their first album was crap.
2) Conor Oberst is awesome. Yes, this is coming from a guy. I will hear no words spoken against his lyrical (though, admittedly, sometimes cliched) prose, nor will I hold any trucks with complaints about the actual music, which tends to be awesome and inspired to the point of being heart-rendingly cool. And as far as the "depressed" thing goes, well, nobody ever bought a Morrissey album or Dylan's Blood On The Tracks expecting sunshine and flowers, but they's still good.
-
I'd like to agree with Alexisonfire and MCR being far away from emo. I'm not really sure you can say they have their own genre though, as I remember MCR sounded like bad pop-rock (I hasten to add, I have nothing against pop-rock per se), and my flatmate played me an Alexisonfire album and it was very 'metal band with wonky singing bits and a lack of originality no.100689'. As my friend Ewan says: 'I like metal, and I like cheesy pop. But I don't see the need to combine them'. Maybe I should give MCR another listen though, perhaps I've had them all wrong if you reckon they're so ahead of the game.
-
I don't know how people can honestly bring themselves to listen to 'I'm not Okay (I Promise)'.
Heard it once, couldn't find the remote to turn it off...by the end of it I wanted to try to kill myself again :S
-
nobody ever bought a Morrissey album
Well, not until recently at least :)

MCR first album = cool
Secpmd album - uncoool

-
Oh, Khar...
I have a feeling that going through today's messageboard may be like seeing your friends for the first time after a hugely messy party and having them remind you how many of them you drunkenly pulled/were sick on...
How's your head feeling?
In other news, I have to add the Suffrajets to the list of bands I can't stand - I picked up a single of theirs for 25p as they had a fun name, and it was terrible - kind of like a 4th rate Kittie, who I can't stand anyway. Now the bird who left Babyshambles has joined, everyone's excited about them again, and they're still utterly shite.
-
hey now, no raggin on U2. they got about half a dozen songs on the irish top 25 of all time. and damien rice got two, or three i think. the point is, no raggin on U2 OR damien rice. but feel free to pay the shit out of incubus. those guys suck.
-
hmm, well I won't say anything more but can't take anything back
-
I just can't listen to....
The Red Hot Chilli Peppers
and
Bon Jovi....
OK, the RHCP is irrational.
but I have always/will always loathe intensely anything from Jon Bon Jovi, he/they makes my insides wrench, and my skull cave in.
Uhh, I can't believe I had teh strength to type that combination of letters to form the name.
-
^ Lucky I didn't read that when I was pissed :p
I don't have a hate or dislike of them. I find them a bit over rated is it.
This is an awesome use of Immigrant Song though. (http://users.wolfcrews.com/toys/vikings/)
-
I have a dislike of Zepplin, and an intense dislike of "Stairway."
Call it irrational if you will, but I've got my reasons.
I also dislike the Doors.

U2 did some nice stuff in the 80s, but those memories have been pushed to the back of my mind by images of Bono prancing around in those stupid glasses, and all of those dreadful singles in the late 90s that polluted the airwaves for months at a time.
-
i guess so. ive only really listened to their stuff these past couple of years, because im quite young. a lot of my friends are into them as one of the real landmark rock bands of the 80s
-
*man.. i hate the fucking eagles*
beatles. cant stand them, rather rip my ears off.
eminem, the only reason he's not better of dead is because he'd be a fucking martyr or some shit like that... nirvana, hate nirvana to.
-
Whoa! Avatar flash-back!
-
I have to second KharBevNor's comments on MCR. Their first album fucking rocked. Songs about vampires and pieces of skull falling on tongues like pixie dust are awesome. The new album? Pure crap. They cut out most of the sweet imagery (and meedly-meedly) from the first album in order to become more like the other pop-punk filth that the kids buy these days. Bad choice guys.
As far as irrational hatreds go: Dashboard, Bright Eyes, Saves The Day, Brand New...I could go on but it would be pointless. There's plenty of music I don't like.
-
The Kaiser Chiefs, for finally tipping over the faux new-wave into incomprehensible rubbish.
-
Awwww..there are worse bands than the kaisers, even though they're really getting on my tits now, so I see where you're coming from.
I think I hate pretty much every band in existence at the moment, I'm just getting sick of every guitar/haircut combo EVER...
I think this is what's known as becoming jaded.
Plus, it's the Wednesday ritual of reading the NME, so that depresses me as it contains approximately no bands that I like.
-
Maybe you should stop reading the NME. You'll probably feel a lot better about the world of music. Don't worry too much though, every time I get jaded with things a new band will fall into my lap who get me all excited again. You just need new tunes!
-
I've tried to give it up, really, honestly I have, but then, every Wednesday morning, I find myself drawn to it in the local spar. It's like smoking, I know it's bad for me, but I ...just...can't...help...myself.
You're right. It'll be the death of me if I don't stop.
-
The NME's like music journalism crack. They sent me one free a couple of christmases ago, and despite my distaste I found myself reading it from cover to cover. I poured over what Kurt Cobain's top 50 albums had been, and I never even liked Nirvana when I was a kid. I'd been clean for years and I thought it was rubbish even when I was 14, but it'll always be there under the skin, waiting for its chance to sprout again...
-
Wif regards to the NME issue: Is it so wrong to like bands other people like?

Not in the slightest, and I like a lot of hugely popular bands like The Strokes et al, it's just the way it's presented in that magazine - it's like 'Oh, this band is ok, but they smoke crack and have really cool hair, s you should probably buy their album' -
I think it's because the NME is for people who like to be told what they should be listening to, and can't present a band without presenting a fad to go with it.
The Heat magazine of indie, if you will.
-
Yep, that pretty much sums up the NME. Also, the quality of the writing is appalling. I remember cringing at it even when I was a kid. I like very little that's popular myself, but that's just because of my personal tastes. When a band I do enjoy like The Futureheads gets huge I couldn't care less apart from the fact that it'll now cost me a lot more money to go see them.
-
I would like to slap these bands (and personel), I hate lots of the uberhard straighcore bands even though I swore to sXe...
My Chemical Romance
The Used
NO/FX
Tim Armstrong (though I like Op Ivy)
FallOut Boy
Creed
Silverstien
Ateryu
Metallica
Lynard Skynrd
Motley Crue
All American Rejects
The Killers
MOdest Mouse
No Doubt
Courtney Love
Nirvana
Pearl Jam
Taking Back Sunday
P.O.D
Blink 182
Sum 41
Cannibal Corpse
White Zombie
and all other mediocre pop/punk bands, mainstream emo, and christian rock.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for someone finally mentioning P.O.D.!!!!!! I fucking hate them and Linkin Park
Why does everyone hate the Killers?
-
i love the killers. but i hate hanson...
.I'll mmmm bop them the little bastards
-
Why does everyone hate the Killers?
The dude's voice drives me nuts most of the time, and the lyrics are shite most of the time as well... they're hit or miss, and that to me is somewhat annoying :P
-
Eh... irrational hatred.... I guess I have an irrational hatred of every peice of crap rap song I had to hear at my junior prom last year. Who did that "Tipsy" song? I'd so love to strangle him. I guess that's it. I'm pretty eclectic with my taste in music, hell, I'll even listen to Christina Agulara in small doses.
-
You know what's actually the worst? Whatever nitwit recorded "Someone Left the Cake out in the Rain"
-
URRBUDDY IN THE CLUB GETTIN' TIPSY
I hate crunk in all its forms, another thing I forgot to mention.
-
URRBUDDY IN THE CLUB GETTIN' TIPSY
I hate crunk in all its forms, another thing I forgot to mention.
Imagine how I felt stuck in an uncomfortable dress listening to that crap for hours. I wanted to rip the DJs throat out and feed it to him, then take over for him (although I probably would have got heckled for playing the Time Warp XD)
-
cant believe no one mentioned limp bizkit yet. also, jimmy eat world. and DMX while we're at it. what the hell is up with barking into a microphone? thats gotta be a sign of mental illness...
-
Crash Test Dummies.
singer's voice doesn't match up with the music too well.
-
cant believe no one mentioned limp bizkit yet. also, jimmy eat world. and DMX while we're at it. what the hell is up with barking into a microphone? thats gotta be a sign of mental illness...
What's sad is I used to like both Limp Bzkit and Jimmy Eat World (I had horrible taste in music when I was in middle school x_x)
And DMX is possibly one of the most annoying rappers to ever get played on MTV... wait no, I think that Lil Jon guy beat him... but I don't know, I stopped watching MTV when they stopped playing Daria (yes, I watched Daria when I was younger, I have an awesome aunt and we'd sit down and watch it together ^_^).
-
heh, daria was actually a pretty great show. I also liked sifl and olly, the andy dick show, and the maxx when it was on... not to mention the my so called life reruns. you never see that anymore though. I think thats what pisses me off about mtv the most; that they have the potential to show quality yet they choose to play crap all the time.
-
Why does everyone hate the Killers?
Because every other band in the genre does it better then they do.
-
lol.
Living in the world of the metal undergound, as it were, My estimation of a bands hugeness is so much less than most other peoples. For example, how many of you here have heard of Marduk, Carpathian Forest or Immortal? I would have said all those were massive, I mean, hell Nattefrost of CF can even make a living off his music alone! But of course, this is no note of what a tiny, tiny, miniscule drop in the ocean a lot of what I listen to makes: Even the hugest of the huge modern metal bands like Nightwish and Children of Bodom are only recognised half the time by people who are actually into the music or the subculture in some way. The other things I listen to can often be even more obscure.
What it really means is though, simply through my own tastes, I don't really have to worry about my favourite bands 'getting huge'. I doubt I'm ever going to wake up one morning to see Forefather or Korpiklaani plastered over the front of NME or Kerrang!, unless I've died and gone to metal heaven.
-
I hate Phish. I hate everything associated with Trey Anastasio. Talented or not, I can't stand him. Living where I do, up to my neck in hippies, you get real sick of Phish real fucking fast.
-
Hmm what about Maroon 5, is that irrational? I don't know, when I first heard that one song I thought it was catchy I must admit, maybe it was too boring of a day when I did, but was wary about it then suddenly after I have this intense hate of them and whenever I see the name I walk the other way...
-

argh! yes! i'm from rhode island, so we get all the phish-freaks here too. love their ben and jerry's flavor (phish food) but HATE that band.
jam bands in general.."let's take a perfectly decent 4-minute pop song and make it 28493928393920 minutes long! why? cos we can! cos we're rawk stahs!"
*gag*
-
Funeral For A Friend. It's not like they're worse than any of the current crop of not-emo bands because, well, those bands all sound exactly identical. I just loathe them. :o
-
Hehe...my mate tried to get me into Nightwish a couple of years ago by telling me that they sounded 'a bit like garbage'. Needless to say, he was terribly wrong, and also, not my bag, but hey. He tried.
I also have a really good friend who keeps trying to get me into Children of Bodom and Meshuggah as payback for him coming to the indie nights I do and having to put up with loads of terrible indie shite, but that hasn't worked either...
-
Nigthwish are an average band anway. And there's no way your Indie brain is gonna understand Meshuggah when it's harded wired to think that complex is bad.
-
Or maybe the problem's that Meshuggah are a bit dull really.
-
Sorry, lack of 4/4 makes it sort of hard to be dull.* EDIT...didnt actually look at who posted that reply. But I dont think there's anything dull about it. Even "I" isn't dull, just messed up. The new album might be through, from all reviews.
*Why, no that isn't a serious technical comment, have a cookie.
-
I'm rather chuffed that the simple fact it was me merited an edit :)
Meshuggah do try hard and it's always nice to see a little effort being put in, but for some reason they just wash over me and produce a big 'meh' effect.
-
And there's no way your Indie brain is gonna understand Meshuggah when it's harded wired to think that crap is bad.
-
Oooohhhh . . . Nice work, Johnny!
-
THE MUSIC POLICE ARE HERE FOR YOU COMRADES. JAZZ TIME IS YOUR ALMIGHTY OVERLORD.
TO THE RIFF MINES WITH YOU!
Really though, there's plenty of stuff in non 4/4 that I find pretty execrable.
-

You're from Rhode Island, do you also have a hatred of the Met Cafe being closed and Lupos moving to the fucking Strand? I have such fond memories of the Met. At least the Living Room is still around, but lets be honest, that place is a dump. The Green Room is really good too, haven't been there in a while. I'll end this goofy little rant about RI venues.
-
I happen to really hate Meshuggah too.
Just annoying and doesn't catch my eye. Just because they play in 27/16 or whatever doesn't make them good, in my opinion.
-
Fall Out Boy . . . I didn't really have a reason before. I usually just hated them because my girlfriend was insane about them. But now I have a reason . . . they ruined a Joy Division song.
-

in all honesty, i don't frequent the providence venues. i was at the living room and the grow room on okie street a few months ago, but the people were obnoxious, and really reminded my why i don't bother with the shows.
and yeah, the lupo's move was pretty lame.
-
apoptygma berzerk. avril lavigne. evanescence.
do those count as irrational?
-
I hate Phish. I hate everything associated with Trey Anastasio. Talented or not, I can't stand him. Living where I do, up to my neck in hippies, you get real sick of Phish real fucking fast.
I hate Phish as well, but not as much as I hate Dave Matthews. And I live in Madison, Wisconsin, which is like the hippie capitol of the world.
-
I'd love to know: What do you all think of The Get Up Kids?
And if you hate them: rejoice. They broke up.
-
whenever I think of The Get Up Kids, I get emogame flashbacks to Steve Tyler ass-raping them in funky technicoloured pixels.
Haven't heard the music, though...
-
Wif regards to the NME issue: Is it so wrong to like bands other people like?
Quiet you...
-
I can't wait to Astruge starts listening to only limited edition vinyl and burning everything anyone else hears.
-
Neither can I.
...
..
.
Get off my music.
-
See, competely Black Metal. Remember, kill a random stranger, so they'll never guess.
-
I thought it was "eat your guitarist's brain so you can steal his power?"
-
Psssh, like that wimp Euronymus actually ate Dead's brains. It was more 'Take a picture of your guitarists shattered skull and get it put on a bootleg cover to increase our notoriety'.
If you were just joking, gape now.
-
No, I've heard that one before, you told me to search for it.
In a completely unrelated note, you promised me awesome metal tunes in another thread. Where they at? C'mon man, share the love*.
*horrible murderings
-
I posted that Finntroll tune up for you.
-
the get up kids' early records were great. and there cover of alex efiel by the pixies is totally awesome.... all and all, i <3 the get up kids.
i also <3 dave matthews, and lots of other jam bands...
-
Dear god what's wrong with you.
Also, I just went to check out that Finntroll song. what are they, Folk metal, what?
-
I liked the early Get Up Kids stuff, but they should have split up years ago.
Sweet pop songs: yes.
Boring MOR toss: no.
-
Dave Matthews - I just don't see the appeal. He's like Bob Dylan without the lyrical genius.
The Smashing Pumpkins - Freshman year college roommate listened to them nonstop.
Almost all hip-hop/rap, especially "gangsta". I see videos with this dude in a mansion with palm trees, wearing a heavy fur coat in the hot tub, surrounded by women in bikinis. Thing is, it's his first album. Where'd he get the money for that? I can't wait for that fucking genre to fall into the sea of obscurity, but I'm afraid that after it does, it'll be back in 20 years as "oldies".
-

Yeah, I went out and got 'something to write home about', and that is a great album. They can rock it out when they want to.
But when I went back to sample some other GUK's stuff, I was dissapointed. They just kind of gave up on rocking, and took a crash course in suck.
-
Dave Matthews
Rap post 1992
The Tragically Hip
Zwan

All stupid emo punk shit like good charlotte and simple plan.

Cradle of Filth
Cannibal Corpse
Dance music from the 90s that I used to love...I have turned against you!
to be honest, I like avril lavigne and Blink 182.
I'd never buy they're albums, but if it's playing, I can appreciate the music, because, for some bizarre reason, Avril's lyrics sound like they really are things she's felt/thought about, despite it all being cheesey teen drivel (but that's her audience anyway? who gives a shit?) And Blink 182 used to be awesome, then they sucked, now they're...interesting, but not good. So, I like the spirit of old Blink182, before they turned into THE BAND of 'skaters'....and while I'm ranting, what is up with skaters? They're all about grafitti and crud now, apparently, and from what I remember, grafitti was all about hiphop...the world is changing.
-
Damn, I didn't know so many people hated the smashing pumpkins. They were my favorite band in the world when I was like 14. I even got to meet Billy Corgan this year (I worked at the studio where he was recording his new disc). It was rad!
Now I'll wait for some smart ass to reply with "haha".
-
I saw Zwan play...and I liked smashing pumpkins and still do but I just have found so much better music, can't even remember the last time I listened to one of their songs *shrugs* Zwan was a great idea, it was almost a complete reversal in attitude to something positive where this icon of young people's melancholy could maybe have some influence on young people to not get further into dreariness...whether that was their goal or not you can't change the times or the angst of teenagers. Also over all the quality fell short. Everything I said is debatable but there's my opinion from off the top of my head.
-
Hate Simple Plan, U2, Dashboard Confessional, Avril Lavigne, My Chemical Romance, The Used (INCREDIBLY over-rated around here, and I have NO idea why), The Darkness (late 70's called, they want their shitty music back), Dido, Enya, Hootie and the Blowfish, Junior Senior, Justin Timberlake, Maroon 5, Matchbook Romance, Senses Fail, Story of the Year, The Cure.
Others I just kinda dislike :
Evanescence...meh...I think Amy has a good enough voice to be doing something better than singing with that band...and the band itself does some really neat stuff (listen to "Eternal" from the Origin album)...but Evanescence as it is really sucks.
New Found Glory...I used to be too annoyed by them to listen...the guys voice was just... blegh. But I got to see a live recording and they sounded almost as good as an album recording...and the music video for "All Downhill From Here" was awesome, so they get SOME points for that.
Sum 41 used to really piss me off, but I thought they were on to something good with a few songs from their new album ("Chuck").
-
Irrational hatred?
How about that f--king Milkshake Song by Kelis. I HATE THAT SONG AWRHSDHFAS!
Any dance club song like that.. just sucks.
ie. Beyonce, Destiny's Child, Usher, just anything they play on MTV every 23.5 seconds.
Ooo, my biggest pet peeve group of all time: Bone Thugs n' Harmony!
Hooooooooooooly fuck are they the worst group ever!
Even better: Three Six Mafia! I had to listen to these numbskulls EVERY DAY because of my roommate. So so so very bad.
-
I cannot stand Madonna. I do not think it would be such a large hatred if my dear friends would not continually tell me how she is such an inspiration/ strong and powerful woman/ better than any other person alive/ allowed women to do so much more/ was contravertial for the benefit of society. Dear lord if that woman went away, my life would be so much happier.
-
Yet another area obsessed with the Used here. Of course, emo seems to be the new, er, ...
-
Alkaline Trio.
It actually started because the first song I heard by them had a line that I just plain didn't like (not going into it, because it's really quite stupid), but every since then I can't force myself to listen to them.
-
Yet another area obsessed with the Used here. Of course, emo seems to be the new, er, ...
Thing which people keep calling bands that have bugger all to do with it?
-
I hate Linkin Park. I remember trying to explain this to someone once.
Person: You don't like Linkin Park?
Me: All their songs sound exactly the same! You can't tell them apart!
Person: So?
I hate anything ghettoteck. I hate 80's pop, even though it's hugely popular around here.
I hate evanescence, although I will give them a point or two for their name.
I also hate Breaking Benjamin, Good Charlotte, and Rascal Flatts.
-
Also, I just went to check out that Finntroll song. what are they, Folk metal, what?
Folk metal/Forest Metal. Troll Metal basically.
-
Hmm what about Maroon 5
I actually like a song by them, it's called "The Fog". It's not on "Songs About Jane", I heard it on an episode of Judging Amy and looked it up. It's very pretty.
-
Boy bands
girl bands (like spice girls et al)
The Cat Empire
Any band/artist that has been produced/popularised by (insert Country name here) Idol shows, X factor or some other rubbish'
Bands that all they can do is whine ( I think Bill Bailey says it best " how can i feel pain when you're being so supportive?")
A1 - The band that defiled Take On Me and replacing it with a crap boy band cover
and again, boy bands
-
Any band/artist that has been produced/popularised by (insert Country name here) Idol shows, X factor or some other rubbish'
Actually "Nasville Star" (kind of like American Idol for country singers), is actually good. They require that their contestants be songwriters as well as singers, which, in my opinion, is the reason they get a better caliber of contestants. I'll actually watch that one if there's nothing else on.
Every single person who got a record deal from American Idol should be shot though. They all suck my mom's ass.
-

Your mum must be pretty busy as there are WAAAAAAAYYYYYYY too many of those bands out there.
-
Out of all the nimrods, My Chemical Romance first, I have an actual irrational hate for them.
I would like to mention that though I hate them now, My Chemical Romance used to be my actual favourite band, the first album was so fucking rad, I was even enthuisastic about their second coming album, until I heard I'm Not Okay, the most sorriest excuse for a pop/punk wine ever...now I can't escape my shadow, (I make my own T-Shirts, I'm not sure if its illegal...), all these people, (I live in a small town in mid-Texas) are like, hey your that guy who likes MCR, me too! WE should be goth-buddies. I have to express my musical frustration...They where such a sincerly good band, who kicked major ass, (sort of indie-ish might I add) but then these fuckin' retards had to sign to Reprise (worst label ever..), now neo-death music is dead to me.
I have a feeling the man is also planning to ruin Flaming Lips once and for all, or so I've heard.
-
Damn, I didn't know so many people hated the smashing pumpkins. They were my favorite band in the world when I was like 14. I even got to meet Billy Corgan this year (I worked at the studio where he was recording his new disc). It was rad!
Now I'll wait for some smart ass to reply with "haha".
I just can't stand Billy's voice...and his lyrics don't really interest me.
In other news: I also hate Evanescence. I loved the version of 'My Immortal' which featured no guitar or drums...the one with the orchestra, and then I heard the album, and the whole thing was immitatey woopdedoo shit. nothing new.
Also: I am probably going to get lynched for saying this, but I HATE Nirvana. Most overrated band ever, apart from Led Zepplin. Jeepers...
Nirvana's the new excuse to scare you parents. 'Hey look, I listen to Nirvana and wear black all the time, clearly I'm going to kill myself, Just like my beloved and beautiful Kurt, who died when I was 3 years old.'
Mind you, there are probably a lot of legitimate Nirvana fans out there, but...I've never met any.
-

Man, I actually like Evanescence. It's one of the few bands that my friends and I agree on. Amy Lee has one of the most beautiful voices I've heard in a long time. And she sings in her range, which makes her better than quite a few female vocalists out there.
Then again, it seems I like a lot of stuff people here say they hate. So maybe I just have crappy taste in music in your eyes.
-
remember, they're irrational hates. :)

While I love Nirvana (of what I've heard -- I'm not a fan, as all I've listened to is Nevermind and the singles) you do have a point. These kids are running around with Nirvana shirts, and they probably know what, four songs? It's the new rebellious thing, and yet what they probably don't realize is that their parents are probably more into it than they are...
-
Jandek.
Gang Gang Dance.
Joanna Newsom.
What the hell, people?
-
I hate Tim Mcgraw, Martina Mcbride, Reba Macintire, and that bitch who sings "red neck woman", it's a stupid anthem advertising their retardedness.
-
Keane (although the lead singer is cute X3)
OMG, HOW CAN U HATE KEANE. sorry for shouting but thats like the worst thing anyone could ever say, those guys have inspired thousands to do better in life and they have hundreds of thousands of fans. if you can hate keane i dont know how you can like anything else, and whoever said they hate the zutons, now thats just crazy too. sure they may be a bit depressing but they are a good band and i dont think anyone should diss them.
sorry for my opinions, i'm not going to talk about music anymore XD
-
Shut up.
-
You are being sarcastic right? [marc_penny88]
-
no im not, ever since i heard keane i have loved them, and no i wont shut up, wots wrong with all u people, i have a right to my own opinion and just because someone tells me to shut up doesnt mean i have to.
edited by marc_penny88 because he is such a supid fucker :P
-
What's wrong with us? You like Keane! Jeez!
-
But do you have the right to rape and murder the english language, then shit on it's corpse while "Hopes and Fears" plays in the background?
-
Hate to say it but....
SO BURRRRRRNEEED!
-
look guys, if this is the way everyone on this thing is then im not gonna bother posting here, i have my opinion, u have urs, lets just keep it at that,
everyone's so fucking morbid on this place
-
If you took a few minutes to spell most of your words right, maybe people would be more civil.
Anyway, back on topic.
I fucking hate New Found Glory!!!
-
It's not so much that we're morbid, it's just that some of us devote the majority of our time on cultivating our musical snobbery, so that when someone comes along with an individual opinion that in someway is out of line with our inherent beliefs that certain bands are terminally shite, we naturally react rather badly as it shatters our fundmental ideas to the core...
That, and a love for the English language, maybe caused some of the outrage towards the earlier post...
-
okay, i get it, i will spell properly from now on :$. but how would i spell grey? or colour?
anywho, i agree about the whole new found glory hatred thing. their vids were funny the first time but then they got boring, then annoying, and now i fecking hate them
-

okay :( sorry. i'll be good from now on, i wont talk about music
-
Feel free to talk about your musical tastes. But then again, I'll feel free to skewer them.
-
That's ok, Marc, when I speak, it's normally with my tongue placed firmly in my cheek. It just gets stuck there sometimes...
And on topic - I hate too many bands to speak of right now. I think I'm gonna stop listening to any music made by skinny indie kids with guitars unless it comes from Omaha.
-
how would i spell grey? or colour?
Hopefully you will spell them 'grey' and 'colour'
-
Feel free to talk about your musical tastes. But then again, I'll feel free to skewer them.
he he, okay, i see how this is going :P. Skewer away my friend because this guy likes what he likes (but my course tutor at college says i'm not entitled to an opinion because im 16 :()
-
That was possibly the least fun "you can have any opinion you want, but we have the right to speak against it, but you can defend it, etc" trade off I've ever seen.
Theater of Tragedy....Death/Doom...that works. Goth Metal....that works...but they sound horrible doing any of it. And now they're a techno pop band and sound like Ace of Base and it's all so vert wrong from a band that should have been at least average.
-
I quite enjoyed it, actually
-
Cradle of Filth
Ugly singer.
Irritating 'guitaring'.
Screeching like some kind of bird of prey.
Athlete
Yes, that song was about his kid, but that doesn't stop it from being absolute shite.
Green Day
Don't wanna be an America-OH FUCK OFF.
Pretty much all of the 'emo' genre. (FFAF, Dashboard, Bright Eyes, whatever)
Yes, you're depressed. You want to shred your wrists into little pieces because your girlfriend dumped you. Go be more original.

Cradle of Filth

fUCK OFF! Cradle are great, at least before Damnation and a Day, but man, they were so rocking. Fuck you! Screeching rules, it comes from the heart and fucking soul, not some whiny boring shitty fucki9ng little fucky shitting droning shit. Just listen to fucking Queen of Winter Throned or fucking Princile of Evil Made Flesh, FUCKING OLD SCHOOOOOOL!! That's the way to do i, which is why Illnath are a way vbetter band nowadays, imo.

Yes, you're depressed. You want to shred your wrists into little pieces because your girlfriend dumped you. Go be more original.
If you're going to slag off a whole genre, at least have some idea what bands constitute it. Funeral For A Friend? I mean really, get a clue (http://www.fourfa.com/).
Oh, and much as I like screeching Dani's is rubbish and Cradle are really dull musically. But apparently they're all thoroughly lovely blokes, so I'm always quite happy they've done so well.
-
I can't believe I forgot, and haven't seen mentioned, bands like Staind and Incubus. That one song by Staind "it's been a while" or whatever the title actually is, made me want to scream and pull out all my hair while lighting my feet on fire.[/i]
-
I've got one that, knowing me, is probably already in this list somewhere :S. but its Placebo, the singers voice is just soooo annoying i swear if i knew how to edit his voice it wouldnt be in their songs.
-
If you're going to slag off a whole genre, at least have some idea what bands constitute it. Funeral For A Friend? I mean really, get a clue (http://www.fourfa.com/).
No, these lyrics are not emotional. (http://www.plyrics.com/lyrics/funeralforafriend/juneau.html)
But anyway. I used them as an example. There are many many bands I could name.
@Khar: I bet you'd hate most of the music I listen to. All of friends love Cradle of Filth so I have been subjected to years of listening to them. The only songs I remotely like are 'Mannequin' and 'Amor e Morte', but otherwise I'd be happy to destroy every CD they've ever published. Yeah, they probably are lovely blokes/their music is 'from the heart' and whatnot, but that doesn't mean I have to like them.

Such as? My point is that Funeral For A Friend are not an emo band, and from what I remember of seeing them live a few years ago neither are Bright Eyes. Yes, those lyrics are emotional (and appallingly bad). So? Lots of bands who aren't emo sing about their emotions, it's probably the most common lyrical subject. And contrary to popular belief, singing about your feelings is not a prerequisite for an emo song i.e.
I can truly say I don't give
A fuck about your money
Because it means so much to you
And all your money
Why does it mean so much to you?
You speak the land of greed
I'm talking a world of need
Money has nothing to do
With the value of life
But that's just common sense
You call me up and talk
About money
I don't want to hear anymore
About money
Embrace - 'Money'
That's an emo song. Part of one anyway, I couldn't be bothered to type out the rest. It's about greed, not love, heartbreak or anything like that. And Orchid spent more time singing about philosophers than they did getting dumped, like:
I was born in 1968
I was born in '68
And I'm born again!
Fresh face for the stencilled walls
Debord is always right here
And get scared again - cause I'm reborn
I am reborn red! red! red!
Orchid - 'Victory Is Ours'
-
Well, Linkin Park fills me with pure disgust, but perhaps they are so commercial everybody on this forum dont even count em as a band. What do I know ^~
-
Cradle...lovely guys....Danni is one of the biggest twats out there. It's the reason why he's banned from pretty much everywhere in his hometown.
But Khar's a cool guy and I can forgive him for liking the one band like Cradle.
-
@Khar: I bet you'd hate most of the music I listen to. All of friends love Cradle of Filth so I have been subjected to years of listening to them. The only songs I remotely like are 'Mannequin' and 'Amor e Morte', but otherwise I'd be happy to destroy every CD they've ever published. Yeah, they probably are lovely blokes/their music is 'from the heart' and whatnot, but that doesn't mean I have to like them.
Yeah, I was drunk. Thing is, those aren't even particularly good songs by them. I mean, have you ever heard any of their earlier stuff? The two songs I mentioned above are prime examples, but 'The Black Goddess Rises', 'The Forest Whispers My Name' and 'Haunted Shores' are other particularly good ones. Even later on they'd churn out the occasional killer like 'Scorched Earth Erotica' or 'Lord Abortion'. Cradle only became musically dull on about half the songs on Midian, and then totally on DAAD. As for Dani's personality, big whoop. Unless it really comes across in the music what does a bands personalities etc. really matter? It's the music they make, and you can't disagree that, at least until the recent semi-dumbing down, he wrote some of the best lyrics in the genre. Finally, I can always respect him and cradle, because they did work pretty hard to get where they are: they pretty much built the bandwagon that everyone else jumped on as far as Gothic Black Metal goes. If anyone should be disrespected it's obvious Cradle clones such as Illnath, but as 'Cast Into Fields of Evil Pleasure' was superior to pretty much everything Cradle's done in the past five years, they too can be forgiven. The only manufactured band in metal is Dream Evil, a fact everyone seems to forget and indeed, totally forgive. Because DE rule. I'll stop now before another tangent gets me.

AC/DC
If I'm stepping on a few toes I'm sorry, but the fact that all their songs sound nearly the same drives me nuts.
Guns 'n' Roses
-
Fuck you and die. The reason a lot of AC/DC songs "sound nearly the same" (though I'd argue songs within genres "sound nearly the same") is because this is a band who has distilled rocking and kicking ass into a purer form than other bands, then they use this to their advantage by rocking and kicking ass.
-
What the fuck is wrong with you? Just because somebody doesn't like AC/DC you have to tell them to die? You intolerent fuckwit. Again read the warning on the forum, don't be an elitist snob.
-
The sarcasm fairy misses her mark again. I'm clearly being 100% serious when I write such literary marvels as "this is a band who has distilled rocking and kicking ass." I should work for pitchfork.
-
Sorry the board has just been a tad bit intolerant as of late. I just don't like rudeness. If you were joking I'm sorry.
-
People misunderstanding me on the Internet, hrrm? It's a risk I'm willing to take. Oh, and good on [Revenge_Therapist] for being big and apologizing.

It's my humble opinion that Cradle of Filth reached their "gothic black metal" pinnacle with Dusk.. And Her Embrace. Everything since then has been downhill (Some small steps: Dusk.. And Her Embrace --> Cruelty And The Beast.. But also larger steps: Midian --> Damnation And A Day)
If CoF would have kept a steady lineup, taken themselves a little more seriously, and kept singing about vampires then perhaps this wouldn't have happened.
As for Illnath, well, I haven't heard them, but I do happen to like Hecate Enthroned - a band whose first few albums could be considered "COF clonage." Perhaps you should send me some on MSN sometime, Khar.
-
The first thing that comes to mind is Modest Mouse. I dont know why, but every time I hear them, I just want to smash whatever speakers they happen top be spewing out of.
Followed quickly by Britney Spears, who deserves to have her large intestine pounded by a howitzer, and then be shot into deep space.
-
Britney doesn't have a large intestine, or indeed a small one.
Just a really long cervix.
-
If you're going to slag off a whole genre, at least have some idea what bands constitute it. Funeral For A Friend? I mean really, get a clue (http://www.fourfa.com/).
I've entirely given up arguing the whole "that's not what emo is" thing, it's really gone too far for it to be worth it.
Interestingly, I listened to some Rites of Spring and I didn't think it was very good.
I like Sunny Day Real Estate though :)
-
I don't mind too much about the misuse of the term in general, I try to just ignore it, but when people bash the entire genre when they blatantly haven't got any idea whatsoever about it it pisses me off more than it really should do.
-
And that's why Metalheads get like they do. I might get off my ass at some point and check out "real emo" but that's at some point. Probably when I need a laugh.
-
You might find the harsher end of the genre appealing. A lot of my mates who're really into grind are also into stuff like Love Lost But Not Forgotten, Orchid, Three Studies For A Crucifixion, Union of Uranus, Reversal of Man and To Dream of Autumn. If you ever do feel like checking it out, start with that stuff.
-
Noted and thank you. I doubt I'll ever like the soft stuff, as I wont be ambient or technical instrument driven for my liking, but heavy stuff close to Harcore should be ok.
-
Since By Man are a great screamo band.
-
hehe...there's a band called 'union of uranus'.
hehehe.
OK, I'll quit with the Beavis and Butthead 'humour'.
Because, not everyone in the whole world would have made that joke, at all...
-
Noted and thank you. I doubt I'll ever like the soft stuff, as I wont be ambient or technical instrument driven for my liking, but heavy stuff close to Harcore should be ok.
The brutal end of screamo is about as harsh as hardcore gets, Reversal of Man's 'This Is Medicine' is a pretty unrelenting blast, although it's rarely very technical. There's often quite a grind influence in a lot of this stuff, and Orchid have a big metal influence in their guitar sound sometimes.
I'm with you on the Since By Man Revenge_Therapist, one of the few good things on Revelation these days. They're playing round my way soon with some decent UK screamo-type bands Whores Whores Whores and Seducedwomandead (who I haven't heard much by, but what I have piqued my interest). Ought to be a good show.
-
I've said it before, but I don't care.
I really fucking hate Antony and the Johnsons.
-

Agreed on that first count...Illnath are not so much like early Cradle, but more an image of what Cradle could be like nowadays if they had musically progressed rather than just stultified and sold out. Not black metal by the estimations of most, but more extreme, BM-informed gothic metal with interesting guitar, varied vocals, tasteful keyboard and pretty decent lyrics. I'll send you the great title track 'Cast Into Fields of Evil Pleasure' sometime, though I'm not sure if it will mesh with your musical tastes.
And yes, Hecate Enthroned are for the win.
-
My Chemical Romance. And... oh GOD!! KEANE!!! I want to fucking rip out that guy's vocal chords and replace them with some real brit pop. ARRGHHH!
Okay, I'm done now. :D
-
oh GOD!! KEANE!!! I want to fucking rip out that guy's vocal chords and replace them with some real brit pop. ARRGHHH!
Can I help you with that one?Man they annoy the shit out of me too.
-
Also...50 fucking cent, what the hell is that about? The guys been shot what 9 times...take a hint dude, people want you DEAD
i soooo agree with that. Everyone is saying how amazing it is and how lucky he is to be alive. Me, I'm thinking to myself, WHY WON'T YOU DIE!!!!!!! The world does want him dead, and he should honor our wishes lol. Well, as long as he will stop making albums, he doesnt have to die, just never rap again. That'd be ok.
I think this goes without saying but gah, i could severely injure Hilary Duff. I hate her so much. Everytime i hear one of her "songs" i scream. She cant sing to save her life and whoever gave her a record contract should be shot. ughhhhhhhh *breathe*
-
and she molested a The Who song, there no excuse for that, not only did she "sing" it, she also change the lyrics because they were too extreme....what the fuck!?
-
she did???? What song?? Even more reason to hate her....geesh
-
I think it was My Generation and she changed the part where it says he wants to die before he gets old, apparently that was too much for the bitch..
yeah I called her a dog, you've got a problem with that?
-
BOY GEORGE
he seems like such a pompous prick! his stupid face make-up thing! don't ask me why it irritates me so, it just does.
oh, and KYLIE MINOGUE. OMG. if there is anyone apart from shane warne or John Howard that i don't want representing our country it is her. I understand that it is sad that she has breast cancer, but i don't like the way they speak of it like it's some massive tragedy where thousands of people have died, when really it's one woman getting surgery. there are so many idiots that are like -*sob* her 'show girl' tour wont go on! my life isn't worth living! *sob* -
grr. and yes, this thread is a good way to vent the anger :P
-
Brand New
Funeral For A Friend
Taking Back Sunday
and many other emo-pop bands that a sister of mine incessantly plays at full volume.
-
All of the above apply.
Also, I just listened to some Hawthorne Heights.
Any band that includes lyrics about wrist slitting and sings them in that nasal whine that trademarks the shoddiest of emo bands deserves to have their insides pulled out through a hole in their neck, doused in petrol and then be made to ingest them again.
When will I learn to not listen to random bands that I find under the section named 'emo'? They only ever make me angry.
-

Jeesh. I've always been against capital punishment, but I'm starting feel it might be justified in certain cases...

BRIGHT EYES, the Zutons, Death Cab for Cutie, The Killers, Story of the Year, Hellogoodbye.
-
These Arms Are Snakes
the musics fine, they just have a stupid fucking name
-
What about Yourcodenameis:Milo? not only do they have one of the most fucking awful names in the history of rock, but they suck too.
-
Britney doesn't have a large intestine, or indeed a small one.
Just a really long cervix.
HOLY SHIT! I just sprayed beer out my nose and all over my computer desk! That's the funniest thing since your Libertines comment! You're fucking amazing!

Amen! Here's me and my good man Oliver's current line-up for how Conner Oberst should be killed (I also muchedly hate all the other bands except thte Zutons who, by your other choices, I'm sure I'd hate):
Step 1: We shave his head.
Step 2: We put him in a KKK robe.
Step 3: We sell him to a "rent-a-honkey-to-beat-up" shop in Crenshaw.
Step 4: We save him just in time.
Step 5: We feed him to sharks.
The only problem with this plan is that it's impossible to hold down an emo-schmuck during an attemt at a haricut. They will not let you touch their hair. Also, I don't think Oliver and I would be able to go into Crenshaw and come out again alive...
Of all the artists ever, I hate Eminem most. Have you ever heard him talk? He thinks he's black. The dilluted motherfucker thinks he's black. That, and he can't rap for ass-bagels. That, and he's a fucking redneck.[/b]
-
Step 1: We shave his head.
Dude, I don't think he'd survive to see the other 4 steps.
-
Why not just give him some prozac and expose him to direct sunlight?
-
um... who is he? brief explanation needed. to be honest i don't mind death cab or the killers, in fact i like them... but then to take offense i'd have to be an idiot.
-
Conor Oberst is the man behind the music of Bright Eyes. He needs to chill out, cheer up, maybe listen to some Architecture in Helsinki, and stop looking like Winona Ryder.

Fuck, that's brilliant. I've been saying for months how I'd love to shave that guy's head because of his patently retarded haircut. I just hadn't thought of the other four steps, you see. You're way ahead of me.
Also, another band that I forgot to mention: Sex Pistols. I detest the Sex Pistols. Some people were influenced by them and ended up making okay music, but "okay" is a stretch. Nobody in that band had any concept of what a "song" constituted. At all.
-

This will have me chuckling for many a days. I guess I'm just lucky that all the "emo" kids I know aren't the terribly whiney kind.
I hate one hit wonders. I hate it when a band puts out a really good cd, or song and then drop off the face of the Earth. It's such a dissapointment.
-
*whines*
Do we really need a Bright Eyes Hatred tangent every few pages?
Is he really that bad?
Oh.
Ok then.
I'll just go back to my little emo world and sulk, you horrible, horrible people... ;)
-
I dunno if he is really that bad because I haven't heard very much of him, but when I first heard him several months ago, I seriously thought it was a joke. My friend put the CD in and I told her to quit fucking around. =/
-
I gotta get my hair cut this weekend so dont joke a bout shit like that because hair is a fucking awesoome thing. Without it we'd all be bald fuckers,
And man,m at least the Sex Pistols had a fucking attitude. At least they shocked. When was the last fucking time ANYONE stuck it to society and the fucikinbg man big time?
-
Skinny Puppy, Psychic TV and G.G. Allin shocked. The Sex Pistols were wuss' too doped up to amount to anything and expired before that anything could even come.
Oh, and to vent, I've been hating My Chemical Romance more and more.
My friend insists that Helena song is the best thing since squirty cheese.
-
The Sex Pistols stuck it to the man? Nah. Now calling your band Millions Of Dead Cops, that's a fucking statement.
-
My friend insists that Helena song is the best thing since squirty cheese.
Wait, is that meant to be some kind of an endorsement? Because I don't know what squirty cheese is, but it sounds revolting.
-
And man at least the Sex Pistols had a fucking attitude. At least they shocked. When was the last fucking time ANYONE stuck it to society and the fucking man big time?
A gimmick to advertise a store named "SEX"
+ childish, misrepresented politics
+ badly written lyrics
- ability to play instruments
=/= sticking it to the man.
-
I really don't like Deerhoof. Or any math rock. It just irritates me. Pick a tempo and stick with it!
-
maybe i just like more things than everybody else.
e.g Conor oberst's haircut. it aint THAT bad. but then, i like The Vines
oh, and Deerhoof. "milkman" is awesome.
-
I love Deerhoof, but math rock pisses me off. What the hell kind of name is "math rock," anyhow.
-
mathematicians who play rock?
I don't know...
-
the Sex Pistols may not have 'Stuck it to the Man', whatever the hell that means, but they scared the everliving shit out of a lot of old tories, bought punk into the popular consciousness, helped spawn a massive wave of oft superior new punk bands and did occasionally spin out a decent tune. I don't see why it's so, well, almost fashionable to hate them. I can accept that, if you're in to punk, they're probably the ultimate poser band to like, of course, but still...
-
Or any math rock. It just irritates me. Pick a tempo and stick with it!
Considering how Math stuff is written, that isn't gonna happen unless someone cocks up the formulas. And hey, they probably stick to boundry limits at least.

I'd never consider someone a poser for liking the Sex Pistols. Or any other band come to think of it. I think a lot of people hate them for the same reason there are a large number of people who hate Nirvana, because there's a lot of hype about the band and therefore people who don't enjoy them react to that.
I can see how all the tempo changes of math rock could grate on a lot of people. Personally I like music that jars me, but since the whole point is that it isn't easy to listen to I guess the fact that a lot of people dislike it means that it's doing its job.
-
Saem thing goes with kvlt Black Metal, that near unlistenable sound is just another part of it. I dont think Math stuff jars me, or if it does, it's in a way I like to hear.
-
When a song throws time changes about in a good way it has me skipping around in my chair or dancing in a way that has my friend Chris telling me to 'stop being so mathy' and sticks a massive grin on my face. Hella are good for that. But the way it does that is that it's challenging my expectations and isn't giving me an easy ride. Grindcore, when it's done well, has much the same effect.
-
I don't like math stuff really myself at all. I love a bit of grind though, and I eat ultra-kvlt BM for breakfast.
-
Pack, ever tried listening to Spiral Architect? Not math but hella crazy tech stuff. I could see a lot of people hating it real bad.
Oh, and because the guy across from me has been playing them a lot lately...Gorillaz. No, just no.
-
No, but I've heard the name about. Firing up the old soulseek now.
Edit: Just got the song 'Spinning'. Musically this is good, but I'm really not liking this guys vocals.
-
Hehe, if it's not Death/Black vocals people hate, it's Prog/Power stuff. Gotta respect the fact it's a bunch of Black Metal guys showing off their skills though.
-
Yeah, I just don't tend to like them, as well as a lot of guttural stuff. Cephalic Carnage are spoiled for me by the vocals as well. Shrieks, screams and 'normal' singing are what I tend to prefer, although guttural stuff usually sounds great if used in small amounts. Mind you, sometimes they grow on me. The first time I heard 'Among The Living' the singing bugged me but I got attuned to it after a while.

I guess it always just annoyed me that people put the band's image before the band's music. That's rather true of most bands in, well, the whole damn universe, but something about the Sex Pistols always annoyed me intensely.
Math rock is kind of stupid, but as long as a song's good I momentarily forget that there are a bunch of fuckwads calling it "math rock." ;)
