Let's see... Most rap, especially the stuff where it's a some guy rapping the whole time, never changing tone or having a chorus, over an irritating back beat. The older stuff was easier to hear, and they changed their tone a bit. Still don't like back beats, they tend to annoy me. Rap-metal is pretty cool, except lots of times they still have little dj scratch noises in the background, which still annoys me.
Death Metal. The music is annoying, and a lot of the fans (especially on Encyclopedia Metallum) seem to think that it's the only good kind of metal, and so on and so forth. I describe it as "BLAAH! I so BRUTAL! LOVE ME!" because if you replace brutal with angst and metal with pop-punk, it's the same as Emo. That said, I do like the occasional Melo-Death band. Children of Bodom, etc, although that's more despite the Death rather than because of it.
Singer-Songwriter. Oh GOD I hate this. Warren Zevon is the only one I like, and I don't know if he counts. To me, it sounds like country, minus anything approaching listen-ability. At least you can make fun of Country lyrics* while listening, but singer-songwriters have such bland songs it's impossible to not cry. You know how when you're listening to an awesome album, and stuck way at the end is an irritating ballad to draw in the art crowd, or most likely get a better Rolling Stones review. Now imagine a genre of music that's pretty much only that ballad. It's okay, it makes me cry too.
*Most lyrics (Power metal, holy shit) can be laughed at, their just really easy to hear in country, and there's the accent.

I hate metal. Sorry, but I can't stand it.
You should be dissapointed with your self! Metal is the one and only good genre left in the music industry! Everything else is made through the clicks of a mouse, not acctually practising and playing on instruments.
Plus metal is fucking awesome!

Ladies and Gentleman I present; your average metal fan.
Your last two posts are so hilariously close minded I don't know where to begin...
Now I don't think it's fair to call him average. I like metal, but even my most hated genres just make me want to leave, I don't care if others listen to them or not. Hell, I could probably even date the worlds biggest singer-song writer fan, as long as we both promised not too make each other listen to our music. He's the average metal fan that hangs out at Encyclopedia Metallum all the time, maybe. Or the ones that make youtube comments about the Metal Militia. Most of us don't give a shit what others listen to, and your post claiming that is just as bad as him saying the guy should like metal more.
