Least Favourite Type of Music

All kinds of jazz?
I can't stand the rather inaccessible modern stuff like what's on the show Homeland.
I also dislike Philip Glass.

I was at a liquor store a few months ago, and one of the employees said they are gonna play some country music. I thought "ugh." But, it was Shinedown. Not my favorite (I only liked their first two albums), but that sure's not country. But, then again, those like Garth Brooks did way too much to make country into not-country. Over this last summer, there was some awards show or something playing on the TV at at a friends house, and I saw a white raping country honkey. At least when Johnny Cash covered Hurt it still sounded country.

You weren't the only one. I listened to that stuff before. I prefer shaoxing opera in Wu dialect to the ones in Mandarin.
They don't represent all pop music. Britney and Bieber started out as teen pop and then their sound evolved as they got older and trends changed. Beyonce is R&B/pop. Pop is a varied umbrella term for music that has a certain song structure. In the '50s and '60s, girl groups like the Supremes (I personally prefer the Chantels, but that's me) were pop music (that was before the age of Autotune and you actually had to be able to sing, lol). In the '80s, Cyndi Lauper, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Prince, Blondie, the Go-Gos, etc. were pop music. The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Whitney Houston, Bjork, Sia, etc. are also pop musicians. There's also Lana Del Rey, Lorde and Marina and the Diamonds.
So it's a bit silly to write off pop music as a whole.

Taylor was country pop when she started. Now she's dropped the country and is just pop.
An example of "pure" country music:
I can't stand Garth Brooks. I prefer George Strait and Alan Jackson.
It's mostly rap that's gangsta rap or hardcore rap, or rap inspired by it that has sexism in it, since it's a product of street culture. But there's plenty of rap music that doesn't have negative messages about women. There's always been female rappers and some of them don't have nice things to say about men, lol. As for "shallow" and "meaningless", you'd have to clarify. I don't know what sort of rap you've been exposed to.

This! Never been able to wrap my head around a lot of jazz. Some of it isn't too horrid, but most of it, eewwwwwww...
@Luca85 How can one not enjoy classical music? There is certainly some dog doo-doo out there, but there is also an immense array of absolutely dazzling pieces.
Not even Fats Waller, Lester Young, Billie Holiday, Harry Gibson, Mr B, Preservation Hall, etc, etc?
Btw, Canuckistanian music is almost as bad as Chinese opera.....
I don't listen to jazz much (I went through a phase of listening to a lot of swing music, though) but Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday are legendary.

I couldn't choose which single one to mark because I don't know the difference in many cases. Pop or rock — what's the difference? And the list is very Anglo-Saxon. I have a Gal Costa CD: that's música popular brasileira, but would you call it pop? I'd say no to the the whole list except Jazz and Classical.

Pop music is probably my least favourite. I find that the blandest, most vacuous songs tend to be the ones to get into the charts. Rap is a close second. Freestyle rap can be impressive, but it's still not to my taste. I also dislike a lot of the culture surrounding rap.
Favourites would be metal and the epic, orchestral soundtracks you find in fantasy films/games.

It's because it was written by an Anglo-Saxon from Angle-land. Let's not bring the diversity crew into this topic.
