Honestly, I though grtwhygrvty was referring to me...
:shycouch:

Maybe I was.

And then y'all turned it unironically real ****in quick.

- most electronic music
- Hip Hop/ Rap
- Noise
- Drone
- Ambient music

To clarify, oh, yeah, definitely. I like Chula

Oi! You leave my lady alone!
You too pal.
I really really hate you. ;)

Seriously, I would not be surprised for people to say that about me and I would not disagree. When I came here (originally seven years ago but really four) I was into what I was into: Marillion/Springsteen/Chris Rea/ELO/Genesis/Waits/Fogelberg/Tzuke/Aslan --- not chart music but certainly what would be seen as mainstream. Over the years and with some help I've moved a little beyond that --- only a little --- but would still expect to be told I have the most mainstream taste here, or one of the ones anyway.

I was going to defend Chula, but then I remembered that he once gave me a downvote for playing The Belle's "Melvin". Fuck 'em. Lo-Fi vengeance! :finger:

@ Oriphiel - Wait a minute, was I even in Plug last night?

Oh yes, yes you were.

Gimme a quick rundown. Who else was there?

Except for Noise and Drone I like some stuff from those other genres.

Let's try something. How about everyone participating in this discussion list 5 genres you generally dislike and why.

1. Grindcore - Just can't get into that vocal style. Plus, the heaviness is non-stop with basically zero dynamics.

2. Noise - Well, it's mostly just noise, which I don't find musically pleasing.

3. Drone - Not enough harmonic variation. Too monotone most of the time.

4. Hard core Be Bop - I appreciate the talent involved but it tends to be too busy and lacks a firm harmonic foundation.

5. Garage Rock - While I like raw rock and roll I dislike this genre cause it's basically too raw all the time.
