A genre that is really starting to piss me off is this "pop-rap", or "contemporary r&b" stuff like T-Pain, Akon, Usher, Chris Brown, Kanye West, etc. It's this really high-pitched singing (though Kanye West tends to rap more), with the occasional rapping. The videos are all the same, too, some nightclub with a bunch of horny girls and these "rappers".

Anything by Nickelback and I'm going to be murdered but Punk Rock after 1982
Don't be hard on country, it's wholesome straightforward lyrics with talented guitar work. How talented is a rapper? Wow, he rhymes well, and has phat beats. Naw, |

I haven't heard a whole lot of Kanye West, but after seeing/hearing that "The Good Life" thing that he did with T-Pain.
Yeah, probably a bad artist to put in there with the rest of them, but he's really popular, and if not stylistically similar, just as bad with the music videos as the rest of them.

It's very difficult to rap, and a lot of people that still do are terrible at it. Also, I don't think that all punk after 1982 was bad at all. A great bit of hardcore punk was of good caliber as well as the definitive post punk (which led to the alternative genre). I'd say that a better cutoff year is 1994, after the last two punk milestones (Dookie and Smash) came out. Aside from Against Me! (who sold out years ago), I've yet to discover a punk rock act of the new millennium that I really enjoyed.

I can't really call any music "the worst". I understand that everyone has their opinions, but no genre in itself is bad.
There are genres (rap, for instance) that are loaded down with terrible (and unfortunately famous) artists, but that doesn't make the genre bad. There are still tons of good artists in every genre, IMO. There is also some music that I just can't understand the purpose of, like Grindcore.. I just think it sounds like the most obnoxious noise ever. That doesn't make it bad though, because obviously people like it. There must be some hidden allure. I also can't understand how people can call classical music bad. If you don't like it, fine, but you try writing a symphony for that many instruments. At least have some appreciation for different styles. |
