Top 10 Music Genres You Respect Without Being a Fan
Good music here. This genre will give you what is the meaning of that "old school" thing and relax. I do really enjoy jazz especially if it's so old and so 50's
I didn't expect to find Jazz here. Thank you for adding it. It's my life and I appreciate it's not the most popular genre on this site.
I'm not an avid fan--although I do really enjoy cool jazz--but the musicianship is incredible.
Regardless whether you like it or not, you can't deny the complexity and the influence it had in history
It's strange how classical music fans never call themselves "fans" with a few exceptions.
Some people still respect this genre even though they find it boring.
I respect genres that take a lot of talent and are not easy to make.
Everyone has to respect the difficulty of opera
My second most favorite music genre
I do respect it and I also love a subgenre that is close to it - Symphonic Metal.
Blues is good.
Without rock, a lot of the artists you hear today wouldn't even be here.
Good genre but get more than enough respect.
Yeah, I do respect rock.
My orchestra days have given me both a love and dread for chamber music. I'm also proud to say I have the sheet music for the Gravity Falls theme song and it sounds pretty awesome with a chamber group.
I'm sorry...I'm sorry! I just can't like this. I've heard twenty seconds of this genre. It's twenty seconds of my life I'll never get back.
Come on, Britgirl, this isn't THAT bad...
Well, I'm a fan but I added this for other people who are not fans but may think metal deserves more respect for its complexity and talented virtuoso musicians.
Come on, you can't deny that metal guitarists and drummers do mindblowing things at really high speed. Besides, more and more metal singers have qualities of opera singers - many of them are even classically trained.
This one is not so respected for the rest. Some people respect it even though they are not a fan but some people doesn't respect it for being a noise and anti music.
I feel this might be a little high. Metal is one of the most condemned genres of music. To the majority of non metal listeners, anything too different from iron maiden or Metallica is "worthless noise".
This genre is far from being respected. Most people I know in real life hate metal with a passion.
You don't have to like metal but at least respect the artists for working hard by writing complex music and lyrics, for practicing their vocal skills, and for not actually being satanic (unlike most of those cringey black metal bands who actually are satanic).
Jackie Evancho sings classical crossover. My point here is:
1) Jackie Evancho is immensely talented
2) it's better to listen to Jackie Evancho than to N. Minaj, Miley Cyrus, Rebecca Black, Britney Spears, to name a few.
I like classical crossover but I prefer it sung by an extremely good male voice.
Art rock is a subgenre of rock music with influences from art music (avant-garde and classical).
I'm a huge fan, but I feel the genre as a whole is underappreciated.
I hate country. If you change the radio station to country, a few things might happen to you:
I slap you and tell you to change the station
I will change the station again and yell at you
I will assume that you want to troll me and will kick you out of the car/house
Pretty funny that as of December 12, 2015, nobody has even nominated Rap as something they respect even a little bit!
Even the worst country music is still better than the best rap ever made.
Nope! Cannot stand country music, and can't say I ever will tolerate it.
Not a massive fan of contemporary Folk, but I've found out that I do rather have a fondness of 60s 70s Folk artists.
In the 60s, folk music was a force of influence for the future of music and culture!
As a rock fan myself, I decided to try listening to more rap other than just the horrible modern mainstream stuff. Now, I still can't say that I'm a fan, but I respect rap more, and I do like some rap songs.
Nobody had bothered to add this until it was pointed out.
Think about if any rapper is more repsected than Johnny Cash- the answer is no.
Definitely not the modern stuff, but old school I can see people respecting.
This one is no since most people here hate this genre.
I respect the summer sounds of reggae.
Olly Murs
Busted (Who made a reunion)
Robbie Williams

You calling Pop crap? Well you are very narrow minded.
Who respects this crap
I guess I do respect gospel music.
