Your pet hate in songs

[Latinidiot]

weak growls, electric loops, and too simple guitars.

 

[Joens]

Every time someone plays a Jonas brothers song God kills three kittens.

Is there a name for the oversinging style that pervades modern pop? What do I mean? Watch the auditions for a show like X-Factor, or American Idol. The way they stretch every word out by singing it through every note possible. I also hate how words like "you" are sang like "joo".

The instant I hear auto-tune, I have to change the music.
Immediately.
It just grates at my soul.

Usually it does for me to. Until I heard Carl Sagan auto-tuned into a song. I just love that so much.

 

[Julianking93]

When songs talk about how much pussy they're getting and anything sexist.

I can't take that.

 

[milkoy]

Southwestern country music winds me up, as does the generic black woman voice which seems ever so popular [see Leona Lewis, Alexandra Burke, Kelis, Rihanna etc].

Music that doesn't push any boundaries or is simply unoriginal irritates me as well, because as far as I can see, they are doing absolutely nothing; they are just reproducing what has already been done countless times.

 

[Azaradel]

Songs in languages other than english with the odd, english word thrown into them (like Jpop/Jrock), mispronounced and out of place. I fucking hate that. Granted, I don't listen to that kind of music, but it still pisses me off.

It doesn't sound cool, it sounds fucking retarded.

Also:

ALL love songs, that may be because ive never been in love.

Also all pop music,you play Jonas Brother, I Play HammerFall louder.

I agree on both points (and I'm incidentially listening to HammerFall right now)

Gods... love songs *shudder*

I bet you love Meshuggah ^^

Anyway, Autotune and mindless repetitive lyrics.

 

[Nerdfury]

Every song that the cultural retards at my workplace like. Trying to get these rejects to listen to any music that's not rap, hiphop, dance, trance, a remix or someshit is like trying to squeeze nuns from a stone. Just for once I'd like to hear someone at work say "My weekend? I saw an awesome local indie/grunge/rock band! They were awesome!"

 

[The Shade]

Screamo and singers who yell so hard into the mic that you can't understand what they're saying. That, and any song where the instruments overpower the vocals. I actually like hearing what the lyrics are, but a lot of bands now cover their inability to write good lyrics with overly loud guitar riffs and fret slides. That's why I can't stand most "metal," "emo rock," and any of those other made-up genres.

I do not know!

thank you, i will check out some more, but I meant weak growls like Necrophagists compared to, say, Michael Äckerfeldt

The word shawty. Get a new word jerks.

It's my ringtone. The trouble is I just listen to it every time someone calls.

Yeah. I said Meshuggah because... well just listen to the growling in Dehumanization.

I bet you love the black eyed peas.
"my humps my humps my humps"
or
"I've got a feeling..I've got a feeling..I've got a feeling that tonight's gonna be a good night" (repeat through the whole song)

 

[Alphavillain]

When a song has a very layered feel, e.g., drums for eight bars, then an acoustic guitar comes in, then the vocals. Or adding an acoustic in the second half of the first verse. It's another by-product of digital recording.
Also, anyone that rhymes "world" and girl"

 

[Kajt]

Also all pop music,you play Jonas Brother, I Play HammerFall louder.

Same. Except that you'll have to replace HammerFall with Bodom or Sabaton.

 

[Angerwing]

Bad or predictable rhymes. Rhyming 'air' with 'care' should be punishable by death.

"He was a skater boy,
she said cya later boy."

Hold on... OH FUCK YOU AVRIL!

OT: Stereotypical rap, and pointless screaming.

 

[ZeroDotZero]

Mine is quite simple and yet very common; when either the lead or back up singer says "Yeah" and worse when they go "Yeah, yeah, yeah!".

As you can tell straight away I despise "Yeah!" by Usher with the burning intensity of 1000 desert suns.

Bad or predictable rhymes. Rhyming 'air' with 'care' should be punishable by death.

I can't breathe the air,
But I really don't care,
Yeah! Yeah yeah yeah!

 

[Umberphoenix]

I agree with OP, i hate it when bands or singers replace lyrics with woah or yeh or la. Its just lazy, irritating writing.

Five Iron Frenzy's "Superpowers": Sometimes we have a deadline/For writing our songs/Five minutes left to write this one/La, lala, lala, lala la...

I don't like music that really isn't music at all, it's just a bunch of sounds and beats smashed together for no reason. I also can't stand music by Modest Mouse or Okay, they make their voices sound bad on purpose for reasons that I can't comprehend. I also don't like music that promotes having sex all willy-nilly, abusing substances, racism(or -ism of any kind), or killing people.
