Music that sounds whiny.
Don't get me wrong I can listen to some emo and post-hardcore and I have no problem with love songs. But too much overdramatization and angst gets on my nerves. I really like Enter Shakira. But when I listen to something like Escape the Fate or other "scene/emo" bands I have to make sure it's the right song, because the nasally way they sound in alot of their other songs.
Red Jumpsuit Apparatus "Facedown" , Good Clean Fun "Drug War",and BFMV "Tears Don't Fall" are songs that I would consider emo/emotional to a degree without the whole whiny/nasal factor.
Edit:Oh and really long breakdowns. Find something else to do with that time guys.

Schmaltzy, major-noted Disney garbage. Now I sound like a death-metal loving goth, but believe me, I'm far from.
Music with lyrics that are 100% meaningless, such as "Party in the USA" by Miley Cyrus. I can't walk 5 feet without hearing it somewhere. Okay so you're at a party. Fantastic. Please, tell me more.
I like music that has poetic lyrics, or meaningful lyrics, or tells an epic story. Just anything with lyrics I can tell were written by an intelligent musician. Which today's music is not

Oh my fucking god... The best part is I've been to Portsmouth Ohio and the town is a shit hole, I'm sure this is some of the best live music those kids will ever hear. God dammit that guy looks stupid.dsmops2003 said:
OT: I'm generally tolerant of "yeas" and "ohs" in songs, but when Anthony Keidis is singing at the end of "Under the Bridge", going "oh nooo, yeea yeea, oooh nooo, yeea yeea" it always grates on me how stupid it sounds.

-Any song about partying/sex/etc.
-Any song where the guitar is simple power cords throughout and a singer that sounds like a million other singers with the same guitar.
-Any rock band whose members looks emo and has no facial hair.
-Any corny pop love song.
-Any song that uses nonsense words.
-Any hip hop/rap song that samples other songs, or uses some of the lyrics and replace some words with said nonsense words.
-Any crap hip hop/rap song that mentions or refer to another crap hip hop/rap song.

interesting as, if you dont learn the correct methods, you can permanantly and painfully screw up your throat. you may not like it (which i can understand) but saying it takes no talent or skill is pretty close-minded.Donnyp said:
i just generally get annoyed when screaming vocals are mixed with pop style stuff, i like both on their own but together....no thank yous
Hearing it at all, if I'm not the one playing it/choosing to listen to it. The odds are very good that I will instantly loathe it, because I'm a music snob and people listen to horrible crap with a smile and they like it. Clearly people are, as a whole, phenomenally retarded.
I typically react to the unwanted sonic onslaught by making gagging faces and covering my ears if it's socially unacceptable to just punch whoever turned music on really really hard, otherwise I go with the punching thing.

To paraphrase Strong Bad: songs that use "La-la's, na-na's, and doot-doo's".
Female singers who exhale their lines; it just makes for a god-awful singing voice (in other words, I hate Kylie Minogue).
Obnoxious metal songs where guys just yell into the microphone.

Songs that're going easy on the lyrics, like there's a war on and the government's rationing the words, so they substitute sounds for the verses and just do a chorus over and over again...
Enter Shikari?! Saw them at Leeds festival, thought they were alright until the guy in his stupid shorts shouted "Let's move some tectonic plates Leeds!". No. I refuse.Daystar Clarion said:
Anyway, my pet hate, though its more about bands themselves than songs, is when bands decide to sell out and do mainstream music just to get more fans, ignoring the ones they already had. They completely change their style to fit in with the cool crowd, and more often than not look like bigger dicks to the rest of the world than they did before. Case in point, Biffy Clyro. My favourite band, then Puzzle happened. They're trying to make nice now with Only Revolutions, but I won't forget this betrayal, oh no.
