Things In Music That People Love or Hate

The Top Ten
1 Dubstep

I can certainly understand why some people dislike it. They've only heard mainstream dubstep. If they try out Electus or Gemini, this may turn them around.

I hate this style of music

I just think its noise

2 Rap

Never understood the hate for Rap. Never was a huge fan of it, but I do like it. Maybe they just don't like the constant profanity (not always, just a lot of times) because of the culture it is in. Oh, well.

I was never a fan of Rap and I probably never will be, and I never liked Rap, but I never for a second thought that all Rap is stupid and requires no talent. There's some rappers that I do like like Chuck-D and Eminem.

It's highly pretentious to me, and even the most seemingly meaningful rap song is full of deception, and is just an excuse to support the ego of the rapper. That I cannot stand.

I listen to rap for about 2 years when pepole on this site talked about Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne I thughted they can't be that bad...It can't be unheard what I heard

3 Heavy Metal Heavy Metal music is a sub-genre of rock music that originated in the late 1960s-70s, featuring more distorted and heavier instrumental work and darker lyrical themes. Heavy Metal broke into mainstream success with bands such as Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden and Metallica.

Other notable Heavy Metal bands include Judas Priest, Anthrax, Testament, System of a Down, Megadeth, Slayer, Pantera, Avenged... read more

I don't mind it but it is too much guitar for me

Heavy metal is great!

Heavy Metal rules :3

4 Pop

I like pop rock (especially Imagine Dragons), I like classic pop (The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Rick Astley), it depends on electropop, and I hate teen pop (Carly Rae Jepsen, Ariana Grande).

Pop is a mixture of different genre so it isn't technically a genre of its own

Coldplay and Radiohead keep me sane

5 Classical

Classical is overrated. But when combined with metal, you get the perfect results!

Appeals mainly to adults, very few children under age 21 can appreciate it.

Its very technical, but boring

6 One Direction One Direction (commonly abbreviated as 1D) were a British-Irish pop boy band based in London, composed of Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and previously, Zayn Malik until his departure from the band on 25 March 2015. The group signed with Simon Cowell's record label Syco Records after forming and finishing third in the seventh series of the British televised singing competition The X Factor in 2010. Propelled to international success by social media, One Direction's four albums, Up All Night (2011), Take Me Home, Midnight Memories and Four topped charts in most major markets, and generated hit singles including "What Makes You Beautiful", "Live While We're Young", and ...read more.

One direction is boring,I'd rather go the other direction

7 Taylor Swift Taylor Alison Swift is an American singer-songwriter. She was born on December 13, 1989, in Reading, Pennsylvania. Swift is best known for writing personal songs and has won 13 Grammy Awards... read more

She's actually better than other "artists" like One Direction and Nicki Minaj.

8 Justin Bieber Justin Drew Bieber (born March 1, 1994) is a Canadian singer, songwriter, and record producer. He currently resides in Ontario, Canada and is Christian. He is the son of author Pattie Mallette. ...read more.

I think this is where we draw a line between sane people and mainstream pop music.

I can't think of one single person who likes him. Really I can't at all.

No way I would buy one of his albums

9 Songs About Sex and Money

It depends in what way its written. Songs like Can't Buy Me Love by The Beatles is about money but that isn't a bad song.

It doesn't really matter what its about, a songs a song

Like 75% of "music" being played on the radio nowadays.

I hate them. they are nasty

10 EDM

I love EDM. There's so many amazing forms of it, and so many addictive rhythms of it, often coming with a powerful set of lyrics. Give it a chance.

Never really listen to this kind of music

I don't really like it

The Contenders
11 Rock

Who doesn't like rock?

12 Metallica Metallica is an American Heavy/Thrash Metal band formed in 1981. The original lineup was James Hetfield (Vocalist and Rhythm guitarist), Dave Mustaine (Lead Guitar), Lars Ulrich (Drums), Ron McGovney (Bassist). The group came into mainstream from their Self-Titled album and the hit single "Enter Sandman".

With their first two albums, Kill 'Em All and Ride The Lightning reaching underground success, their third effort, Master of Puppets has since become one of the most important heavy metal albums ever, as it became the first thrash metal album to be certified platinum. The title track has since become the band's most played song live. ...read more.

Look at my profile pic. it's the best album from the best band

I hate metal and rock. It is the stupidest "music" in the world.

I don't think some people even know of this band!

13 Marilyn Manson

I don't like him a lot. He isn't that great in singing and he is quite creepy -. -

I honesty hate him he himself doesn't know what's wrong with him

I love Marilyn Manson, but he's not for everyone.

14 Deadmau5 Joel Thomas Zimmerman (a.k.a. deadmau5) is a Canadian DJ producer, formerly a web developer, who produces a wide variety of electronic musical genres, such as electro and dubstep, but is best known for popularizing work in the areas of progressive house and electrohouse, along with the genres themselves. Notable songs include Ghosts n' Stuff, I Remember, Raise Your Weapon, Strobe and Professional... read more

People think that he lost his effort, and I don't think that's true at all. True, his latest album is very different from his previous works, but his music has been changing over time anyway. His music is no less imaginative, and no less talent has been put into it. He's always been a great musician. He's even said himself that he's a perfectionist.

People hate deadmau5?

15 Bono Paul David Hewson, known by his stage name Bono, is an Irish singer-songwriter, musician, venture capitalist, businessman, and philanthropist. His original nickname was Bono Vox which means "big voice".
16 Auto-Tune
17 Rihanna Robyn Rihanna Fenty is a Barbadian-American pop singer. Born in Saint Michael and raised in Bridgetown, she first entered the music industry by recording demo tapes under the direction of record producer Evan Rogers in 2003. She ultimately signed a recording contract with Def Jam Recordings after auditioning for its then-president, hip-hop producer and rapper Jay Z.

She isn't someone what we either love or hate, but someone that we both love and hate. I hate her because she is an awful role model but I love her because she has a great vocal range and she makes cool songs.

People are very split about Rihanna. People either love her or hate her.

18 Shock Rock

Many people find it more satanic

19 Demi Lovato Demetria Devonne "Demi" Lovato is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. After appearing on the children's television series Barney & Friends as a child, she received her breakthrough role as Mitchie Torres in the Disney Channel television film Camp Rock and its sequel Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam. ...read more.
20 Black Metal

I don't like it, but there would always be a band who would play black metal music which doesn't have satanic imagery and lyrics.

To hell with those who hate it

21 Grunge Grunge (sometimes referred to as the Seattle sound) is a subgenre of alternative rock and a subculture that emerged during the mid-1980s.
22 Christian Rock

People of any religion could actually like Christian Rock songs.

23 Nu Metal

Nu Metal is still good! Though not as hard as the classics, it's still pretty great considering the music of that time.

I like bands like Korn, Deftones, Disturbed, and System of a Down. But I hate bands like Limp Bizkit.

24 Horrorcore
