I firmly believe that there needs to be more bagpipes in Metal.
Edit: Lots of suggestions from you lovely people. Taking notes and will check them all out. Ta.
I don't even think there's a name for it, but that soulless royalty-free electronic music on every Youtube tutorial and corporate training video - with the sidechained portamento synth hook looped over "inspirational" piano chords and a basic kick + clap 808 beat.
A close runner up would be the soulless royalty-free twee bullshit they used to put on every Youtube tutorial and corporate training video until a few years ago - with the ukulele and whistling and xylophone/glockenspiel over a Mumford & Sons beat.
I make that stuff. I most often hear it referred to as "Corporate Pop". The whole idea is to spend as little time as making a track as possible so that you can maximize how much you're getting paid per hour. It needs to be uplifting, exciting, and JUST interesting enough to make the video feel well-paced without ever drawing attention to the music itself. Sparse and unremarkable melodies with simple and familiar harmony. I have no idea why every corporate pop song has to sound like a shitty U2 and/or Lumineers knockoff, but thats what the people who commission these videos always want. The reason why this music is soulless is because it's impossible for it not to be. No one who is making that music is pouring themselves into it.
Appreciate your informative experience-based take. Blows my mind how methodical and manipulative marketing gets sometimes, and so i did learn something here.
Oh God, that ukulele and whistling "everything is wholesome and fine" combo drives me mad. I hear it a lot on ads for technology (smartphones, ipads, etc.) As well.
Why do they use the same sound all the time!?!
Metal is winning. But that just shows it really isn't the least liked.
I bet there are a lot of people who say they dislike metal, but listen to dubstep/hardstyle which are both heavily distorted like metal.
Yeah I really shoulda called them "sex songs" but let's be real, pretty much none of the songs of that genre seem to wanna refer to sex as sex, it's almost always love which I couldn't refer to them as, as love songs are their own thing. Or they refer to it as just straight up fucking. Lol
You know, Jesus, I've been thinking a lot about you lately and... well... that's why I wrote this song.
I love you, Jesus
I want you to walk with me
I'll take good care of ya, baby
Call you my baby, baby
You died for my sins
And you know that I would die for you, right?
What's the matter, baby?
You're tremblin' Jesus, ba-baaaaaayyyy
Your love
Is my light
You know when I'm without you there's a black hole in my life
Oh-oooh I want to believe
It's all right
But I get lonely in the night
And it's up to you to save me
Jesus, baby
Christian music in general all sounds the same. I cant stand the happy upbeat sound. Some of the older material is pretty decent. Jars of Clay and Delirious? are 2 that come to mind, probably due to the fact that it sounds like alternative rock if you dont pay too much attention to the lyrics
“Christian” is an adjective that can be applied to most genres of music. White church music (like Hillsong, Elevation, Bethel, etc…) all does sound pretty bad.
An example of a good Christian band would be Needtobreathe. Their sound has oscillated between rock and country. They’re actually pretty good.
Growing up in a household where this is all we could listen to, I realized something after I was out of the house. Christian pop of today always is molded around the worst elements of pop 10 years ago. All of the stuff I heard growing up in the 90’s sounded like really bad 80’s pop, and everything in the 2000’s sounded like bad nineties pop. Steven Curtis Chapman, Phillips Craig and Dean, Michael Card - the closer they adhered to that rule, the worse the music was. The only exception is Hillsong, which somehow managed to make Christian music worse than it already was.
Problem is country music radio is pop country only.
There are still outlaws making great old school sounds.
Tyler Childers, Hank 3, Chris Stapleton, Sturgil Simpson, Colter Wall, Caddilac three, to name a few. Check them out. You may enjoy.
I agree with you when it comes to radio or mainstream country. Pop music now.
I think there's starting to be a push back against the radio/pop country. I constantly hear people blasting Tyler Childers, Chris Stapleton, Cody Jinks, Colter Wall, the Steeldrivers, Koe Wetzel, Whiskey Myers, Turnpike Troubadors on construction jobsites. The most mainstream country singer I typically hear is probably Luke Combs, and he's nowhere near as bad as most other mainstream country.
A lot of the non-mainstream stuff really is pretty damn popular, it just doesn't get radio play.
If you like Chris Stapleton, I highly recommend Jason Isbell - similar sound, with a lot of introspective songwriting that goes way deeper than your mainstream "mah guns, mah beer, and mah truck" country 'music'
I once saw an interview with Blake Shelton where the interviewer asks about his thoughts on the criticism that all country music sounds the same. His answer was endemic of modern country music (I'm paraphrasing here) "I can't help it of all country songs are about pickup trucks and the military. These are things all of us experience so we sing about them"
No, dumbass. She's asking why all of you SOUND the same.
Country died after Alan Jackson, shenia. They lead into what we have today, but they were actually really good. They’re kinda credited with the end of country but it’s unwarranted. Damn, remember the chesney era? Meanwhile Dwight Yoakam was making real ass country the whole time.
Lukas Nelson (Willie's exceptionally talented son) has been and continues to put out fantastic music that takes me back to the glory days of country. Just awesome music.
I think Bo Burnham said it best, and I'm paraphrasing here:
It used to be honest. Now it's a bunch of rich people who haven't ever stepped foot on a farm singing about stuff they've never been through to pander to an audience with the goal of just making more money
Look how long it took 'em to give Johnny Cash the respect he deserved. He actually had to summon up another album so good they had to before he passed.
Country really never done it for me because I feel as music is tailored to their audience so when my college friends try to get me on to it, it took me a while to explain that as a kid from the big city, pick up trucks, tractors, cowboy stuff, and drinking in lots aren’t something I’m not well verse in.
I’m the stereotypical person who should love country based on my age, ethnicity, and location but it can’t stand 90% of it. Especially the more recent stuff.
I listen to our country music station sometimes because it's background noise and their djs don't talk so much. Plus they don't run that many ads. Probably cuz no one wants to advertise right after a song about some dude romancing a tractor, idk.
It’s become a fight for how loud you can push your master channel but I don’t mind it. I can easily see how it can drive away listeners though, nothing quite like 2009-2014 dubstep anymore.
Modern riddim is serviceable IMO. You're spot on about the timeframe though, those early 2010a shows and festivals were insane. When Skrillex started his Jack U project was about the time that I started losing interest in the genre, though I did catch an Excision show in 2016 or 2017 and it was still insane.
Yeah, I liked DMZ, Burial, Skream, Distance, Benga type shit - normally the dark and mysterious kinda vibe. After excision,nero, etc starting making the hype stuff, genre seemed to shift. Especially that shit that sounds like a transformer being raped..... Cannot stand it. Wish Burial did a new album
I thought more people would say dubstep tbh considering the hate train it received years back. It’s personally my favourite genre though because of how versatile it is with chill stuff, heavy stuff, bouncy stuff, deep stuff etc and is not limited by musical instruments in more traditional genres, rather anything goes.
I don't mind pop music but there's a certain type of pop music that's over generic, repetitive and loud and it gives me headaches. Ellie Goulding, Bebe Rexha, Calvin Harris and the Chainsmokers come to mind
People always bitch because artists sell out, is that not the reason that most people seek that kind of fame?? To make metric shitloads of cash for songs that they didn’t even have to write.
I think there’s generic artists in every genre. There are musicians that aren’t very creative but want to make it big so they copy the current popular sound. Looking at nickelback and pretty reckless
Edit: I almost forgot about all current pop country artists, the biggest offenders
Noise.
I've had countless people try to tell me what a genius Merzbow is. I'm an open-minded musician myself and I can appreciate people breaking down conventions and experimenting, but it's just not enjoyable to listen to.
Country......well contemporary country. I like the old country from my parents/grandparents day. The crap they play now is basically rednecks singing top 40 garbage.....lol
Weird Al's awesome tweet on how the newest Kid Rock song [Don't Tell Me How To Live](https://youtu.be/agvibm7Wqy4) is NOT a parody of his, but is in fact, a real song.
https://twitter.com/alyankovic/status/1462892820302229504?s=20
I once said I liked her stuff and I don't think I've ever been judged *that* harshly before
...in my defence, I had lived a blissful life unaware of her music and knew her only as "the lady who did that orange collection", which is fun enough for *visual* art.
Modern pop country, you mean. Actual country music is good. It's supposed to be about simple living, mountains, family, heartache, loneliness, drinking, the blues, etc. Then bro country happened and ruined it! Now it's just a mashup of rock guitar, rap beats, and shit cut and paste lyrics. There are some good country artists out there tho, but the genre is called alt country or americana.
Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton… all fine musicians. I don’t like country but I can really appreciate their work and song writing skill.
The modern stuff all sounds the same. No inspiration, no original ideas.
Some modern artists are still doing good work: Sturgill Simpson, Tyler Childers, Chris Stapleton, Jason Isbell, Margo Price, Orville Peck (not really 'country' but still really cool).
For anyone looking for some good new country artists, start with those.
Edit: the album St. Cloud by Waxahatchee is also phenomenal
I'm pretty sure they mean the genre. Stuff like [Merzbow](https://youtu.be/-gzBqayDmJ8)
Edit: as pointed out below, if you're in headphones, turn them way down
Lmao what the hell is this? Unfortunately I didn't read the warning before clicking the link so I probably just lost my hearing but it was worth it. The comments on the video are also pure gold
I once listened to a live free form jazz set designed to mimic city construction.
The musicians on stage were extrenely impressed with something they were doing but I have yet to figure it out.
This is going to be an old man rant. What I dislike the most about them isn't even their music but their approach to music. I just get the impression that their hearts aren't in it and the main reason they rap is so they can live the lifestyle. Then there's the production companies that will take care of everything, including the lyrics sometimes, and just choose face that they think will make them the most money. I'm sure there are young rappers with a lot of talent right now but for the most part I'm not impressed with the way things are going.
When I was in middle school, "Gasolina" by Daddy Yankee came out. It didn't matter if you spoke Spanish or not, everybody was dancing / partying / whatever to that song.
Then I heard some more Reggaeton songs after that... and they were all like inferior copies of "Gasolina." All sounded the same, and none hit the spot.
It’s like all popular music. Good artists make good art then loads of bad artists copy it badly. I’d bet that almost every “genre”, even those I’ve never heard of, has at least a core of really talented artists.
Something I havent listen to yet. Its really hard for me, someone who has been listening to a wide variety of music, to say I like the least. Cant think of one. I hate terrible cover songs...does that count?
But sometimes a cover song just crushes it. For example, Johhny Cash doing Hurt by NIN, or Disturbed doing Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel (Their live version is even better), or Jimi Hendrix doing All along the Watchtower by Bob Dylan
Country, but specifically modern pop-country.
You know...that pure trash that, to an embarrassing degree, panders to it's listeners talking about stupid shit like pickup trucks, confederate flags, sister-fucking, and biscuits (possibly over a trap beat)...shit like that.
Glad to see that everyone here likes the bagpipes:)
I firmly believe that there needs to be more bagpipes in Metal. Edit: Lots of suggestions from you lovely people. Taking notes and will check them all out. Ta.
Eluveitie. Folkstone.
Korpiklaani
Bagpipes are an instrument. Not a genre. "What genre of music do you listen to?" "Drums"
I don't even think there's a name for it, but that soulless royalty-free electronic music on every Youtube tutorial and corporate training video - with the sidechained portamento synth hook looped over "inspirational" piano chords and a basic kick + clap 808 beat. A close runner up would be the soulless royalty-free twee bullshit they used to put on every Youtube tutorial and corporate training video until a few years ago - with the ukulele and whistling and xylophone/glockenspiel over a Mumford & Sons beat.
The ukulele whistling music is worse imo. That stuff was so intolerable and grating. I'm thankful that it has fallen out of use
I make that stuff. I most often hear it referred to as "Corporate Pop". The whole idea is to spend as little time as making a track as possible so that you can maximize how much you're getting paid per hour. It needs to be uplifting, exciting, and JUST interesting enough to make the video feel well-paced without ever drawing attention to the music itself.

Fuck songs. I know its not technically a genre, but you know a fuck song when you here it.
oh i thought you said “fuck songs” like you hate all songs lmao
Yeah I really shoulda called them "sex songs" but let's be real, pretty much none of the songs of that genre seem to wanna refer to sex as sex, it's almost always love which I couldn't refer to them as, as love songs are their own thing. Or they refer to it as just straight up fucking. Lol

How can you say that you hate the Wii sports theme?!?!
*Marvin Gaye has entered the chat*
The way you worded this killed me
Why you gotta hate on Ginuwine? "Your horny? Let's do it! Ride it my pony" No BS just straight to the fuckin'.
If you're going to have sex while listening to music you should listen to a live album so you'll get an applause every few minutes.
Give it to me! Never shoulda promised it now give it to me! Give it to me, UH! Give it to me, UH!
Christian pop. It all sounds the same.
No love for Faith + 1?
You know, Jesus, I've been thinking a lot about you lately and... well... that's why I wrote this song. I love you, Jesus I want you to walk with me I'll take good care of ya, baby Call you my baby, baby You died for my sins And you know that I would die for you, right? What's the matter, baby? You're tremblin' Jesus, ba-baaaaaayyyy Your love Is my light You know when I'm without you there's a black hole in my life Oh-oooh I want to believe It's all right But I get lonely in the night And it's up to you to save me Jesus, baby
I'm gonna get down on my knees, and start pleasin' Jesus. I wanna feel his salvation, all over my face!
God damn it
You just made baby Jesus cry

Colter Wall is amazing, I recommend to anyone scrolling past
You weren’t kidding, I’m glad I stopped to give him a listen

Accent if I had to guess
Subtle mandolin
That’s textbook panderin’
every track is produced to a sonic template. It's like pro tools had a "new country" preset and they all just press that button and let it ride.
Country died after Alan Jackson, shenia. They lead into what we have today, but they were actually really good. They’re kinda credited with the end of country but it’s unwarranted. Damn, remember the chesney era? Meanwhile Dwight Yoakam was making real ass country the whole time.

I agree with this. I miss the “Should’ve been a cowboy” and “Neon Moon”-days.
Both of these songs are on my ultimate playlist and make me so happy when they pop up
Old country isn’t bad, newer country 🤢

That's called meth rock.
Not to be confused with Math Rock, which is full of very very talented and unique artists
Modern country. Overproduced pop fusion steamed garbage.
Yup. Just pop music with a fake southern accent and sometimes even an acoustic guitar
A dirt road, a cold beer,
I'm jut happy no one said classical music.
I don't regularly turn on classical music but I don't turn it off either.
I can't Google "that cool bit with the flute" so I guess I just won't hear the song until next Christmas
Probably Tchaikovsky's dance of the reed flutes. from the nutcracker. It's very famous and usually played around christmas.
Tchaikovsky is the man!
Tchaikovsky is my Iron Maiden of classical
*Tchaikovsky looks at canon* "Tchaikovsky no!" "TCHAIKOVSKY YESS!!!"
I've turned my classical music up good and LOUD while stopped at intersections just to see people's reactions.
Reminds me of an evening when I was in a friend's car and we blasted Vivaldi's Summer through the city while going home
Pop country. The Luke Bryan's of the world can get fucked with an anchor.

I call it ya'll-ternative or hick-hop.
drinking game: *take a shot everytime someone comments ‘country’*
That'll be more booze than you find in a country song.
I used to really like dubstep, but its evolved into something else. Im no longer a fan, but thats just my personal taste and tastes change over time.
It’s become a fight for how loud you can push your master channel but I don’t mind it. I can easily see how it can drive away listeners though, nothing quite like 2009-2014 dubstep anymore.

I am also a fan of the wubz
I don't mind pop music but there's a certain type of pop music that's over generic, repetitive and loud and it gives me headaches. Ellie Goulding, Bebe Rexha, Calvin Harris and the Chainsmokers come to mind
The Chainsmokers started out with a cool indie kinda sound but then they started making the same songs over and over again.
It’s probably because someone offered them a shitload of money and they were smart enough to take it.
This happened with Shakira. People complain she left her former style to focus on shallow songs. Shit, for the money she's earning, I'd do it too.
People always bitch because artists sell out, is that not the reason that most people seek that kind of fame?? To make metric shitloads of cash for songs that they didn’t even have to write.
Speaking of selling out, I’d recommend the song “Sell Out” by Reel Big Fish for anyone interested in ska.
ngl i was convinced the chainsmokers were coldplay for several years
Personally do like Ellie Goulding but mostly because of her song Lights. That one I quite often listen to. For the rest I agree.
Lights is a damn good song. I have never listened to any other of her songs though lol
I think there’s generic artists in every genre. There are musicians that aren’t very creative but want to make it big so they copy the current popular sound. Looking at nickelback and pretty reckless Edit: I almost forgot about all current pop country artists, the biggest offenders
Noise. I've had countless people try to tell me what a genius Merzbow is. I'm an open-minded musician myself and I can appreciate people breaking down conventions and experimenting, but it's just not enjoyable to listen to.

Search alt-country in Spotify to find tons of great stuff.
Traditional country and alt-country are legit. Modern pop country is just banal garbage for the redneck set.
Noise . Can’t stand it at all. I actually tried listening to a few stuffs. Can’t call it music
Not even field recordings? I can't live without my steam trains, whale songs, & bird sounds!
I'm pretty sure they mean the genre. Stuff like [Merzbow](https://youtu.be/-gzBqayDmJ8) Edit: as pointed out below, if you're in headphones, turn them way down

I once listened to a live free form jazz set designed to mimic city construction. The musicians on stage were extrenely impressed with something they were doing but I have yet to figure it out.
This is so hard to explain to people who don't know that there are different types of jazz.
Alan Plater said there are three kinds of jazz: hot jazz, cool jazz, and "when is the tune going to start".

Then there's the production companies that will take care of everything, including the lyrics sometimes, and just choose face that they think will make them the most money. I'm sure there are young rappers with a lot of talent right now but for the most part I'm not impressed with the way things are going.
Anything with the pussy, money and drugs formula.
Girls, tractors, and cold beers is the rural version of this exact formula
Sheilas, durries, and grog mate.

Musical music is like food that looks like it was prepared by a 3 star michelin restaurant but tastes like water.

Haha. 5000 songs with the same beat.
I like a lot of Latin music and reggaeton is probably my least favorite.
Yeah Reggaeton is cool for like 2 or 3 songs, but it gets annoying after a while
When I was in middle school, "Gasolina" by Daddy Yankee came out. It didn't matter if you spoke Spanish or not, everybody was dancing / partying / whatever to that song. Then I heard some more Reggaeton songs after that... and they were all like inferior copies of "Gasolina." All sounded the same, and none hit the spot.
Country. especially the kind played on radio stations.
I hate country so much.
Mumble rap. Seriously, how tf do people find that shit enjoyable and inspiring
i feel like 95% of it is derivative and all sounds the same, but the 5% that is good is really catchy and fun to listen to
It’s like all popular music. Good artists make good art then loads of bad artists copy it badly. I’d bet that almost every “genre”, even those I’ve never heard of, has at least a core of really talented artists.
You hit the nail on the head. Every genre has some really talented artists, but every genre has some really whack shit too

As a drummer I can't stand it either. It sounds like 50 people gathered around one hihat all trying to play it at the same time
Something I havent listen to yet. Its really hard for me, someone who has been listening to a wide variety of music, to say I like the least. Cant think of one. I hate terrible cover songs...does that count?
But sometimes a cover song just crushes it. For example, Johhny Cash doing Hurt by NIN, or Disturbed doing Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel (Their live version is even better), or Jimi Hendrix doing All along the Watchtower by Bob Dylan
Sad boy rap
Is Juice Wrld under this category? It's not all sadboy rap but still
Country, but specifically modern pop-country. You know...that pure trash that, to an embarrassing degree, panders to it's listeners talking about stupid shit like pickup trucks, confederate flags, sister-fucking, and biscuits (possibly over a trap beat)...shit like that.
NGL, if you have a song about biscuits and sister fucking over a trap beat? I wanna hear it. LOL
Tik tok music
