Your Music pet peeves

[Vault101]

Rap/Hip-Hop haters (very common) are mine.

Mainly because I haven't met a single one who has been able to explain their hate without sounding like an ignorant, condescending ass. If the extent of your knowledge about hip hop ends at 50 cent and pitbull maybe you should stfu and admit you don't know shit.

But hey that's just my opinion.

EDIT: Just realised unoleian and a few others beat me to it. Least I know i'm not alone in hating haters (yay).

agreed, you can tell when they imedietly follow the term "rap" with "guns/hoes/bitches/gangstar/talentless" its one thing to simply not enjoy the sound, its another to make stupid generalisations

Whistling. It makes me want to kill them.

hahahah

sorry couldn't help it

Katy Perry syndrome. You know, like how Katy Perry seems to have the controversy of Pink but none of the edge. But maybe that's just my dislike for Perry coming out. Either way, the people who seem to be imitating a certain band/performer, but softened up.

Other than that religious references. I don't mind if songs have a religious undertone, I just don't like it when it is shoved in my face, like when half the songs on your album are titled things like "Stay with me Jesus" or "Jesus and Mary"

The music just doesn't appeal to me, I've always preferred the sound of guitars to loud bass. I enjoy rapping when it's in other songs, like Linkin Parks earlier stuff, the Gorillas, etc. Or when it is inherently comedic like the Lonely Island.

I also don't like the electronic dance music like black Eyed Peas but I love this song (nothing to do with that crappy hot girls have problems song.)


Not really sure why

 

[Chefodeath]

I hate it when a song gets to the end and plays like 10 seconds of a bitchin' outro before stopping. It really rustles my jimmies, I'm getting into the grove and it all just suddenly stops. Charles Mingus' "Devil's Blues" is the worst where they start playing this kickass swing thing towards the very end and then just stop after 7 seconds of it.

Yeah, songs like Raise Your Glass, Funhouse, and Dear Mister President are so edgy and controversial. Perry and Pink are both very tame, even at their raunchiest. Perry, from what I've heard, sounds like any other recent top-40 pop lady, I wouldn't say that she's attempting to copy Pink.

1.The fact that metal band names these days are ripped from a gothic 16 year old's poetry book.

2.The fact that some people are stupid enough to listen to any sub-genre of electronic music and go "WOW DIS DUBSTEP SUKZ LOLOL. SKRILLEX FTW."

Edgy - Having an intense or sharp quality.
Pink herslef tends to have a very intense or sharp quality to her. Fucking Perfect raised controversy, as did Stupid Girl and So What

I kissed a Girl always came across as controversial for the sake of creating controversy.

Oh and no need to be a dick about it, you can challenge someone's opinion with out the attitude. (having so in italics reads very dickish)

Pink isn't so much sharp as grating. She is, at best, immature and obvious, and at worst, unlistenable garbage. She either sings about things that everybody already knows about and agrees with, or she sings petty fluff. Perry is pure manufactured controversy, I agree entirely, but let's not pretend that Pink is some hard-hitting artist with no compromise.

Igor Stravinski started a riot with Rite of Spring. He didn't need massive media coverage and gaudy videos, the music was enough. During a performance of Four Organs, One woman walked down the aisle and repeatedly struck her head against the stage. 'Stop, stop, I confess,' she said. The riot sparked by Daniel Auber's music is often said to have signalled the beginning of the Belgian Revolution. Pink upset a few prudes and went out of her way to make an offensive video.

Sorry, but whenever someone makes a post including "I kissed a girl", I need to post this.

<youtube=1r_h4pFl2Mw>

Sorry Ive heard that song before when I said to people I didn't like Coldplay, It does absolutely nothing for me still and sounds like a mediocre Porcupine Tree track, on the plus side of the song though the bassline is not as boring as other songs but still isn't great.

Like it or not, my point was it doesn't fit many of the qualifiers you noted. I've long since learned that actually trying to convince people to like bands they don't like is a very exhausting process, not much worth the effort.

 

[LittleThestral]

I'm not very good at putting my finger on what annoys me about some music and not about others. Sometimes I despise the "chipmunk voices" a lot of pop seems to have, but then I'll turn around and listen to an Alvin and the Chipmunks cover. I also hate excessively "PARTY PARTY PARTY" music, but I really, really like to listen to The Wanted's "I'm Glad You Came". It's no pinnacle of musical effort, but it catches my ear.

*ponders* ...I think it's safe to say, though, that Chad Kroeger annoys the ever loving crap out of me. Always.

Why stop there?!

Whether you personally like her music or not, is not the point.

She either sings about things that everybody already knows about and agrees with,

You greatly overestimate people

I never said she was hard-hitting

Just because someone else sparked controversy a different way doesn't take away from the other people who have created controversy. It's not like there is only a limited amount out there and for another person to get some they have to take it away from what someone else had. Just because other types of music, and other performers have caused different reaction doesn't take away from other artists.

The Rite of Spring riot was a fight between people who enjoyed the music and those who didn't, nothing extraordinary about that. Beyond that it wasn't that the music was special it was the on stage depiction of fertility rights and the dance that started everything, which could be argued as the "gaudy" videos of the time.

Four Organs, the people at that show wanted the piece to end

Sadly, there are people who are like that. =(

As I've stated before, not a fan of Dubstep. I prefer melody over bass every day of the week.

And, even though this spans practically all genres, there are people out there who are also like that about Deadmau5. Don't get me wrong, I think his music is ok, but the artist himself is a real dick.

These may not be his exact words, but what he basically said was that "DJs are not necessary". You can imagine how fast his customer base dropped because of that comment.

 

[thebobmaster_v1legacy]

Random rapping in songs. Case in point, "Lighters" by Bruno Mars ft. Bad Meets Evil. I love Eminem's rapping, but his rap verse did not fit into this song at all.

Also, sampling something unrelated to the original song. The biggest example of this is "The Time (Dirty Bit)" by Black Eyed Peas, which sampled "(I've Had) The Time of My Life" by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes. The original is a great song that did not deserve to be attached to the atrocity of the B.E.P. song, and had nothing to do with the song, other than sharing the words. Another example of this is "Watcha Say" by Jason Derulo, which samples "Hide and Seek" by Imogen Heap. The words fit, but the context of the songs are total opposites. The Imogen Heap song is basically tearing down the guy for cheating on her, while the Jason Derulo song is basically from the cheater's point of view trying to give forgiveness through...less than ideal lyrics.

Basically, the samples have the same subject, but opposite views on the subject. I have a feeling Jason Derulo only sampled it because it was popular and fit his title.

What does an edgy artist do, if not hit hard?

Just because someone else sparked controversy a different way doesn't take away from the other people who have created controversy. It's not like there is only a limited amount out there and for another person to get some they have to take it away from what someone else had. Just because other types of music, and other performers have caused different reaction doesn't take away from other artists.

By that principal, a stick is as sharp as a razor.

The Rite of Spring riot was a fight between people who enjoyed the music and those who didn't, nothing extraordinary about that.

Then surely Pink, who has never moved anyone so far, is less than even ordinary.

Beyond that it wasn't that the music was special it was the on stage depiction of fertility rights and the dance that started everything, which could be argued as the "gaudy" videos of the time.

However it happened, it got a greater response than anything Pink has done.

Four Organs, the people at that show wanted the piece to end

To be fair, I do get that feeling whenever I hear Pink.

Snippy-dippy-doo-dah-day.

Pink makes very safe music. If ever she targets something, it's something easy. Dubya Texas Ranger. Unhealthy standards of beauty. Douchebags. All easy targets. Her music isn't groundbreaking, her image isn't new or exciting, her business model isn't revolutionary, her lyrics aren't fine art. Look beyond your bias and you'll see what's right in front of you. On the edgy spectrum, Perry and Pink are right next to each other.

No, but that principle, even though a razor is sharper, a stick can still be sharp

My bias? I don't even like Pink. You are the biased one, you let your distaste for Pink, color your perception. It doesn't matter if topics are easy or hard, or if the music is ground breaking, or any of that. What matters is that she is edgy and controversial (even if you don't think so there are plenty of other people who do) and Perry is controversy with no edge

 

[Reginald]

Damn these blunt objects, slicing stone as though it was but warm butter!

As you say, a razor may be sharp, but so may a stick. Hence, Perry is edgy. And, since the level of edginess in one thing doesn't degrade the edginess of another, Perry is just as edgy as pink. This conclusion has been brought to you by the reasoning you've been using to refute it.

Are you deliberately misinterpreting what I am saying? You conclusion is flawed, you have never made the claim that Perry is edgy 'till now, so you cannot suddenly conclude that she is, and even if you decide that Perry is edgy I never said that a stick was as sharp as a razor, so your conclusion that Perry is as edgy as Pink is also flawed.
