Is There Such Thing as Bad Music...

[Del-Toro]

Music is ultimately based on personal taste.

Even with that, music can be bad. If it's executed poorly, then it's bad. The Mozart's 5th, for example, if played by a school band, will more than likely suck. If played by a professional, or well practiced orchestra, is Mozart's fucking 5th Orchestra and is therefore a timeless classic.

yes there is, and here is my evidence

If pupate is another word for suicide, then I certainly am aching to pu-pu-pu-pu-pu-pupate after listening to that.

yes there is, and here is my evidence

Oh dear.

justlisten to modern RnB and you will realise the definition

While there is no accounting for tastes, there are some aspects of music that I think anybody can agree on.

For example, I can't imagine anybody actually liking music that's out of tune. Some people are better able to ignore out-of-tune music than others, but I think everybody will agree that music sounds better when it's in tune.

well the people who like rap have minds that i will never understand
they are also the most irritaing beings on the face of the earth since they seem to think that EVERYONE wants to here their crappy music and they blast it instead of using headphones
when i listen to the music that in my opinion is good i keep it down so only I can hear

Bad music does exist.

That's nice, but reasons and links?

One song which proves bad songs (in this case terrible songs) exist:


Worst. Song. Ever....Of all time.

Actually, you're entirely correct - I can't think of a single person who would ever say that this is "good" music.

How can you say that? That man is a musical genius!

Do I need to go on a long, technical rant on "musical genius" and musical trash, based off of my classically trained ear?

HOLD ON? WTF IS THIS?

........? Wha...?

Brokencyde and Millionaires. Two good examples of very awful music.

music is just like any form of expression, if you don't agree or identify with the message, or how it's presented, then you won't like it. I'm an advocate for individuality and expression, but I'm also a big fan of collaboration, integration, thoughtfulness, and technology. I'm really into industrial/electronic/drum and bass, also dubstep has a special place for me at the moment, but like every genre, there are plenty of songs in these genres I really don't like, and plenty outside I like too.

For me I just can't stand rap music. I feel it's just a gimmick, and not poetic in any real sense. I also don't feel the image of the band is as important as the content of the music, so I don't really enjoy watching music videos, I'd rather listen to the music and do my own thing (play games). In high-school I would always get this feeling of people just being so fake, and now I'm a little older I see that there's a huge amount of people in this world that put their fake face on every day. I'm comfortable with just being myself, and I try and not be a problem to anyone else. I just can't identify with people who see an illusion in the mirror.

For me there are 3 types of music:
1. Music I understand and enjoy.
2. Music I don't understand/barely understand.
3. Music I understand and don't enjoy.

a.k.a
1. "good" music
2. "strange" music (we've all heard someone yell "turn that noise down!" at some point, right?) Some strange you like, some strange you don't, it's weird like that. New music is sometimes like new jeans, feels strange at first, but then you're home.
3. "bad" music
