8MileBU Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 (edited) Basically all of that modern “Club” music. Don’t even know what that genre is called nowadays. How it’s so insanely popular and folk can listen to it all the time I’ve absolutely no idea. Absolutely horrendous that that sort of crap seems to make up 75% of the charts and what’s on the radio these days. Keep it in the nightclubs and get it tae f**k anywhere else. Despite my leanings toward a certain staunch football club, I cringed right through the Europa League run every time I heard “I’m Feeling It” blasting through the stadium PA and wince any other time I hear it. That song to me is the epitome of that fucking awful type of music and it’s just a fucking awful tune full stop.

Empty It Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Oasis to say they're a mediocre band at the right place right time would be a massive compliment. Two very limited ego maniacs, see also beady eye and high flying birds and that's not even mentioning their weird cult like fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Venom Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Maybe not the right thread now but up until a month or so ago I'd have said all hip hop/rap. I'd have said I cannot get past the misogyny and glorification of violence and such. And lo, since Xmas, I've been listening to NWA and see it in a whole different light; the music and sampling, the conviction in the delivery lamenting the social zeitgeist...just a shame a lot of the content is horrific. I'm now listening to early Nas and can't believe I've found this music at my age as I'd basically conceded I was never going to find anything else that absorbs me and takes me somewhere else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernLights Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Drone, it just sounds like 10 minutes of listening to a band who have just set up and are warming up/tuning their instruments very very slowly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was dragged along to the Stereofunk festival last year by a few mates and I would rather sit and watch constant repeats of the 2012 Scottish Cup Final than go there again.

Girth Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Prog rock - technically great but it’s dull as piss. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest_Fifer Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I like rock/metal, but I just can't listen to the stuff with "cookie monster" vocals. If you've heard it you'll know what I mean. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've heard it you'll know what I mean. Rock/metal is my favourite genre of music and I like a lot of really heavy stuff, but yeah when there’s no harmony in the music and there’s no deciphering a single word being roared, it’s truly awful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velo army Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 On 04/10/2022 at 12:15, BFTD said: I read an article years ago by a guy who founded an American museum about the history of racist tropes. He posited that gangsta rap was essentially the old Buck/Jezebel caricatures updated for the entertainment of modern white audiences. It was a bit uncomfortable and difficult to argue against. I mentioned this in, of all places, the Barclays thread, but I highly recommend The New Jim Crow for this too. She describes modern music as minstrelsy for the same reasons. It's a grim book tbh, but it's supposed to be. Anyway. Back on topic Kendrick Lamar. I think his lyrics are great and I appreciate the genius of the music but I feel nothing. I think a lot of those soft suspended chord just leave me with little to grip onto. I prefer the pugnacity of grime rap, Eminem or Tupac. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burattino Di Calzini Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Bruce Springsteen. I have no idea why, his music is obviously not bad, but his stuff has always been a blind spot for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Jools Holland himself. If he was any further up himself he could lick his own tonsils. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was on Sky Atlantic but maybe now on Netflix. Has lots of good stuff on how NWA came about. Bought Straight Outta Compton on vinyl when it came out ( I was about 10 or 11) and still remember the goosebumps within the first 15 seconds Back on track.. ska, two tone, British punk. Never really done it for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
