Which Genre(s) Suck(s) Most?

All right, this is how it's gonna go down. No more "What Sucks About This Genre" threads, at least, not from me - they're in danger of taking over the forum. So instead, let's bring this all in under the one thread. Discuss and vote which is your favourite or least favourite genres. Multiple choice in the poll of course.

If I missed out a genre, just choose "other". I tried to get everything in but there are only fifty options available so hopefully I covered most of them. It's more about the discussion anyway than the actual votes.

All of them in some way

I voted for a few that largely are characterized by large amounts of flavorless sludge. It's a positive thing though, since I realized there weren't that many genres that make me sigh and groan when thinking about them.

Voted "other" because the worst music ever is in some of those sub categories of dance music that you didn't include. "Hardstyle" is pure ****ing ****, as a matter of fact. Actually possible the only genre I really, truly dislike to the core.

I usually come off as far more negative about music than I really am, probably. The fact is that I can listen to most bands in most genres and find them harmless enough. It's just that I'm looking for music that is good enough that I would want to buy it and put it on my shelf, which is a test that most music fails.

Man, people really seem to agree on adult contemporary.

2nd most on christian contemporary music, about which I don't have an opinion so I didn't vote on it.
