There's an immediacy to the personal connection with the artist that you don't really get with any other genre. Yeah, they're often yelling at you, but they're actually yelling at you, rather than just kind of putting their ideas out into the ether for you to grab hold of. I live, breathe, and **** metal, but I still never feel like the singer/screamer is directly addressing me. |
I've tried getting into pretty much everything. Also try to give things a second, third etc. chance, since I initially hated pretty much everything I love now. But some genres, a lot actually, don't do much for me.

something tagged as "indie folk" is likely something I have no interest in listening to.

I try to keep an open mind but find it really hard to enjoy most dance and pop music. Just too energetic and bubbly for me.
Also can't get down with most thrash... and yeah indie folk. Shudder. |
I hate lots of genres, but by "hate" I mean: "there is a VERY VERY tiny selection of songs from this genre that I like". I don't think there's any genre I can't tolerate 100%. (Perhaps some metal sub-sub-sub-genres.)
(This was not the case when I was younger! It took a long time for this snotty-nosed-punk to admit to myself that crappy commercial pop can be enjoyable. (Note: all pop lyrics are stupid. Listen to pop in languages you don't understand. Much better.)) |

Funk, Jazz, Dubstep.
Funk i don't like or dislike but it doesn't do much for me but Jazz bores me and dubstep annoys me. |
Missed a few rock subgenres that I tend to avoid.
Have never been able to get down with any shoegaze, emo, indie rock, or most folk rock, post-punk (unless it's instrumental), and garage rock (although garage rock gigs are a load of fun). |
Other than extreme metal, there aren't ny genres I actively dislike. However, I don't listen to much hip-hop, jazz, blues, punk, or reggae. In fact, I'd say you could divide my tastes like this:
20% folk/folk rock/indie folk/whatever 20% psychedelic rock/psychedelic pop 20% power pop/pop rock/new wave 10% glam rock 10% classical 10% progressive rock 10% other |
