Top 10 Countries that Make the Worst Music
Indian music is something so many of us have grown up with but as a youngster I didn't know that its an industry that hates people like me, a Muslim, or a Pakistani. Until today, Bollywood puts subliminal messages in their movies which strengthens the already-strong hatred India has towards Pakistanis. In Raazi, for example, or taking it back to old days, you have Border. India has also plagiarised countless Pakistani songs/music. Recently, one of bollywood's music companies got a copyright claim order from a famous Pakistani qawwali group. Which is something that Pakistanis should have done from day one, at least once it had become possible to do so. India has lost my respect and I'm not just talking about plagiarism.
Let's face it, Canada...a lot of what comes out of your country just doesn't quite make it. There's certainly a few really interesting, original acts up there...but their efforts get outweighed by the MASSIVE spew of either overrated or second-string acts that have emerged from the Great White North over many years. Maybe if your government gave up on its weird 'canadian content' regulations so that more outside influence would get in, then there'd be a lot more cross-breeding of ideas going on, instead of the Canadian music scene being a self-enforced backwater/circle-jerk.
I don't think it's fair to generalize the whole country for making crappy pop music because I'm pretty sure South Korea has great singers and bands that are overshadowed by their manufactured pop music. I used to listen to kpop when Baby V.O.X were still around (Yes, I'm older than most kpop fans today). Then, I got tired of it because the groups produced the same, mediocre crap over and over again, except with new faces in the scene. It's like if Steven Moffat wrote songs for them or something. I'm kidding, but in the kpop industry, looks come first before talent. I know most labels will deny it, but it's mostly true. I don't see girls who look like Susan Boyle in kpop. Even if they hired one, they will pressure diets and surgeries on her the most and it's sad.
Most kpop fans I've encountered today are vain. Even more so than jpop fans. Why? It's because they valued their appearances more than their music. Most I've seen on social media are unhappy with themselves because they wished they looked like their favorite airbrushed/surgically enhanced kpop idols. Many of them actually traveled to Korea just to get surgeries done trying to reach kpop's unattainable beauty standards. Others I know are struggling with eating disorders. You guys may disagree because I'm "generalizing" kpop and their fans, but that's their reality.
Of course people will criticize it for stupid reasons, but my reasons for disliking kpop is valid.
Sri Lankan Music is good for Murderers, Rapists, Gangsters, Drug Addicts, Sexual deviants, Lunatics, Psychopaths and Idiots! You can't even call it 3rd Class because 3rd Class Music is a million times better than Sri Lankan Music. You need to call it 4th Class or the Class of the Hell!
Shiver me timbers! How can Sri Lanka be in this list? Ah coconuts! I like my country' s music. Billions of blistering barnecles! Sri Lanka should be in the best music. Barnecles! Sri Lankan music is good for good people
Crackers! Sri Lanka has best music
I will not be surprised if half of the votes come from ignorant people who think cheesy anime openings defines Japanese music.
Anime music is not real Japanese music! Listen to the REAL stuff like J-rock (and I mean good j-rock, not crappy oshare stuff). Real, not-anime-related Japanese music is a blessing!
I think anime music is annoying and I hate it, though I kinda like anime but not the music, real j pop is much better.
One would have to listen to what plays on National Radio in N. Korea to hear their stuff. So bad its amazing. Such cloying tripe is hard on the ears!
I didn't know North Korea had music. But then again, there's probably no such thing as "music" here anyways.
The music in North Korea is the best music in the world. Most of the people who heard it are dead. It has a lot of mixing sounds like bang, bang, bang, and BOOM! Some lost their hearings because, they cannot resist the beauty of its sound. Some are shouting and running and screaming... No wonder. The very best of its kind. Better try it so you would know.
Ok. One, flamenco is awesome.
Two, Spain is home to two of the greatest metal bands: Mägo de Oz (folk metal; has the best album of the decade, Ira Dei) and Stravaganzza (gothic/symphonic metal; has one of the best singers of all time, Leo Jimenez).
I gotta say, I hate my country's music. It's everyrthing Flamenco or Pop. I wish it had some variety. And even that variety is small!
Sorry Spain even though your language is fun when I speak it, I hate your music.
I agree mexico should be higher having to listen to Mexicans playing their music most of it isn't good. Most Mexican music is very similar and sound the same. And this guy would listen to Mexican rap music and play on a very loud speaker glad I don't work with those guys anymore don't have to hear their music ever again. Please mexico make better music and not all sound the same.
It's nothing against Mexico, but I have some bad memories associated with Mexican music. Now whenever I hear it, I remember the times of being alone, surrounded by people who have no manners, and don't care one way or another for you because your white. It was a very lonely time for me. And when I thought I found somebody, they turn around and backstab me. All of this while they listened to Mexican music.
German "pop" music is cringy, nasty, shallow and plain out horrid. Every song sounds the same, and the language is just not fit for art in any way. There are some exceptions of good german contemporary music, like Kraftwerk, Rammstein or some former GDR bands, but they - in no way - make up for the hideous monstrosity that is german pop music.
While I gotta say, that germany had some awesome classical composers, it makes the terrible modern "music" even more shameful.
Not only do they make cringy, terrible, soulless, stale, recycled pop, dubstep, techno crap, repetitive and overall just overwhelmingly unappealing music. The Germans themselves seem to have a terrible taste in music in general. German rap is just the same song and their selection of pop songs generally have no life or meaning. Nice country though.
China deserves to be number 1 on this list! I was born and raised in China but my father and I grew up listening to Billy Joel and Freddie Mercury and western music. My mother grew up listening to Cantonese Pop, but none of us were stupid enough to listen to Chinese pop music, especially the ones created in the 21st century. They tend to have chiche chord progressions and DISGUSTING PITCH BENDINGS, which can not handle properly like they way Queen did. Anyways, there hasn't been a single "good" Chinese song released in like twenty years.
How stupid is a country that brought Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, Ariana Grande, Rebecca Black, Fifth Harmony, Carrie Underwood, Toby Keith, Florida-Georgia Line, Ted Nugent, Ke$ha, Meghan Trainor, all these emo bands (Black Veils, whatever), and more. How stupid can Americans be to make them popular?
How is this music good? Is ONE song without profanity, bad references and offensive themes to much to ask for!? Take a look at America's celebrities and you can tell why their music is messed up. DRUGS! That is why!
And they don't get in trouble for using them either.
You guys don't even know what the hell you're thinking. There classical music is awesome. Somebody just plopped it on here.
If you watch all those Car Accident videos on You Tube, you get the feeling that those poor people are killing themselves because of the awful pop music. American pop music has basically been garbage before and after the Sixties, the only time in 300 years that it was any good at all. But Russian pop music doesn't make it sound better, just less offensive. It sounds like an out of tune violin next to a Fart.
Communists always thought that good lyrics meant good music. This is where they failed miserably. And what is India doing here. I have heard Hindustani classical music and it was just great. Nowadays Indian musicians have become copycats, but if you go back to the 60's, you can really feel the emotions in it. Musicians like salil chowdhary and Shankar Jaikishen were simply Prodigy.
It borders Norway to the west and Finland to the east, and is connected to Denmark in the southwest by a bridge-tunnel across the Öresund. At 450,295 square kilometers (173,860 sq mi), Sweden is the third-largest... read more
What does sweden does here? You must be kidding guys! Opeth, bathory, meshuggah, bloodbath, hypocrisy, draconian, Marduk, Amon Amarth, dark tranquillity and many many more! You must be kidding they are the best metal country, I think!
Norway makes way better music than Sweden. Norwegian accent is way more beautiful than Swedish accent.
Swedes are not talented singers at all. They don't even know how to sing properly.
Yea, what black metal bands do is bad.
Let's talk about the music, though. We're not talking about what music scenes do.
And you know what? I don't like black metal music.
I don't like how the quality is always bad. Is it a rule that in order to be a black metal band, your songs has to sound like it's going through a toilet bowl? The lyrics are also pretty bland, and it's mostly just unoriginal.
This is MY OPINION, so please don't take it too seriously. I'm just one guy.

L;DR version: Make the sound quality better, and it will be (sort of) better.
Daft Punk...
Best in Europe for RnB, RAP, soul, rock, beat, rock psyche, garage rock, pub rock, mod revival, underground mus.
...Chopin
From classical to the most up to date music (e.g. Shaka Ponk)
Really sucks. Like the government there.
All their music sounds like a goat.
Most of Serbian music is dominated by hooting owlish pop folk, the rest is some type of brass orkestra music that sounds like the love child of Mexican Banda and Turkish folk... other balkan countries managed to keep there slavic musical heritage mostly pure or blended there oriental influences into something tasteful (for example Romania, Bulgaria, Macedonia and have wonderful folk styles) I don't know what happened in Serbia though
Serbian music sucks... Turbo folk artists have zero talent, even "rap" sucks... The artists are promoting alcohol, smoking and drugs as positive things and the production is crappy... Songs from Serbia should be no. 1... I think no country has music that actually promotes drugs like Serbian music does... Especially new ones...
"My parents listen to traditional Vietnamese music all the time. I want to die"
Here are some great artists: The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Queen, Pink Floyd and Jimi Hendrix! Play that music loud and enlighten your parents to great music, instead of letting them listen to that garbage!
If you don't think they'll like it, though, put on a pair of headphones if you own one and listen to any of these artists mentioned above, to escape from music that you hate so much!
by the way, you're not wrong, I don't like Vietnamese music either!
I just don't like mainstream Filipino music that is all about love, especially those sung by actresses who are trying hard to be singers. So obvious that they are in auto tune. Eraserheads, Parokya no Edgar and some other bands are good, but Filipinos have to admit that the instrumental almost sounds the same for these bands. As for Filipino rap, even if you say the late Francis Magalona is good, I personally find every Filipino rap trying hard rap and for the the general mass. The general mass are in lower middle class and below. Folk music is very trippy and definitely better than Filipino rap.
I don't like the current Greek music scene and I'm Greek. :-P In the past we produced better songs. Nowadays only if you sing a bad song you will be popular here with few exceptions of course.
This is most pointless music ever!
When I was in greece, I heard greek radio. It's was torture for my ears.
They try to make songs like they traditional music, that is just pointless guitar.
And yes it's very repertive and boring. Ultimate strike to ears!
It's a trash, not music or I'm don't get it.
And why it's so low? Please, get it higher! It's awful!
Disco polo is probably the worst and the most lame music genre ever. Surprisingly not only peasants listen to it but it's a popular club music!
