Seconded. It's either screamo or rap. So what if you were poor and now you sold yourself out to get the bitches, bling and fast cars.Deathleaper said:

What would you classify as 'Screamo' though? From people I've talked to they think of that as some ambiguous term that covers every band that has a screaming vocalist... sigh.Deathleaper said:
OT: I can't stand Deathcore, or anything with breakdowns for that matter, whether it be Suicide Silence or Parkway Drive.
Another vote for rap/hiphop. It all sounds so shit to me, I hate it. Same goes for dubstep, really, it's just slightly less shit than rap.
[sub]BTW, you know what happens if you play a country song backwards? Your wife returns, your dog comes back to life, and your truck fixes itself.[/sub]
I'm sorry, man, I listened to the video you linked and I tried a couple of the others you mentioned in your post, and I hated all of it.WouldYouKindly said:

Country
Pop
Metal
I'd add rap in there as well, but recently I've taken a liking to Limp Bizkit and some Japanese group.
Some elaboration:
Country: Twangy guitars, whiny violins, reinforcement of southern stereotypes as subject matter (angry dad shoots daughter's boyfriend, over-frequent divorce, general negativity). I find it hard to admit this, but I don't like hearing the southern accent in music. I don't mind it at all in standard speech, but the sound it makes just doesn't appeal to me in song. The New Zealand accent: heck yes, especially with female singers.
Pop: We have two pop stations locally. My workplace plays both of them. The modern pop-ish style doesn't sound good to me, and it seems that the quality of a singer's voice goes down as the popularity of their songs on said local stations go up. That song, Firework: I hear it about three times per day, working anywhere from six to eight hours every weekday. I hate it. The melody doesn't sit well with me, the repetition of the "ah--ah--ah" syllables is annoying, and I've never liked Katy Perry's voice to begin with.
Metal: I went through a stage when I was 14 where I loved metal and everything to do with it. My parents were disgusted with me, and now I see why. Ironically, I think that screaming in a song actually sounds good--IF IT'S DONE WITH EXTREME MODERATION. If the feel of the song is angry or aggressive, a buildup and a screamed note or verse--or even an entire stanza, can sound cool. I just don't like it when the entire song is screamed anymore.
I like a few given elements from each of the genres I hate--except country. From pop, I like the upbeat feel, and from metal, I like the instrumental bits. Symphonic metal and production music are my favorite genres in general, and they both have metal elements. Rock has some pop elements in it, and I like about 75% of rock songs. (Or does pop have rock elements?)

Metal, it all sounds the same. On top of that, it's incredibly corny in both its lyricism and sound. All of the songs are about satin or some kind of suffering (oo, so deep) and the singer sounds like he's tryna drop a doose. I actually feel kinda bad for people who listen to it, but I guess I can't be too harsh; the vast majority of people who even listen to metal are pre-pubescent long-haired "emo" kids, I'm sure they'll grow out of it.
Depends on how broadly you define individual genres, for me.
I don't like most hip-hop, but there's still plenty of it out there that appeals to me... but nothing in gangsta rap. (to those who claim to hate rap, look up Busdriver [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpP-8tJ-9Js] and Aesop Rock [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrWNpjJU4kk]. I won't guarantee they'll change your mind... but they certainly break stereotypes)
I don't like most country, but I enjoy quite a lot of bluegrass and old country western. Modern pop country disgusts me, though.
I don't like most modern pop, but there's the occasional power-pop or pop-rock stuff I like.
I don't like a vast majority of emo I've heard, but there's some of it that sticks closer to either its punk roots or its alt-rock roots that appeals to me. Also, there's the occasional bit of screamo that actually qualifies as decent metal in its own right.
I'm a huge metalhead, but there's a lot of simplistic, repetitive death metal I can't stand.
So... complicated question. I'd say there's no entire genre of music that I hate.

I cannot think of a whole genre that I hate, unless you get into the sub-genres than I suppose Crab-Core, because why the hell not?
I used to really hate Nu Metal, but it's really not as bad as I thought it was.
That being said, country. Every song I hear sounds the same! It's always about beer, trucks, and women.

I'd like to set you straight on this one, seeing as Blind Guardian has an entire]/i] album dedicated to J.R.R Tolkien's "The Silmarillion." They also have a song about Raistlin Majere, I could go on, but I'll pass.Jasper Jeffs said:
OT: Personally I'm not much fond of rap. I just don't like the sound of it.
Mainstream rap and R&B. To me, the rap half seems to me like it's all about how awesome the artist (thinks he/she) is and R&B all about wanting the artists significant other back (almost without fail). It's just very repetitive.
Also, to a lesser extent, metal. I'm sorry, some bands have extremely talented musicians, but if I can't understand 99% of what they're saying, I just can't get into it. I like lyrically brilliant music first and foremost.

Just metal in general. The music is WAY too heavy for me, and it sounds like mindless yelling half the time.
uhh as much as i hate to be "that guy" i cannot stand rap and or anything thats over played the over played stuff has reason in its self but with rap i just cant see any creativity in it theres no "symphony" about it every example i have heard could be compiled with a thesaurus and the electronic beat you can get from a 20$ toy piano. i can handle country to some extent and for emo music i would rather pierce my nose with a blunt pencil (IT IS NOTHING LIKE HEAVY METAL)
Just like to point out to all the people defending genre xxxx; think of it more as people saying it like "I could gladly continue living in the same if not better state/disposition without genre xxxx" as opposed to just a vague "I hate it cuz it's baaaad".
But my token hate is gotta be rap. Just because it doesn't sit right with me (Being a punk rock lover). Most rythems, tunes, lyrics, the rappers themselves and the fanbase; I just don't like and yes I'm just being very general and I bet if I listened to them all and talked to errybody in that genre, fanbase and all, I may like some of it. But the ends are not worth the means. If it disappeared the tomorrow.
