Top Ten Least Diverse Music Genres

Just for the record, I'm not saying these genre's are bad, I'm just saying they're repetitive. Enjoy!
The Top Ten
1 Pop

Honestly I just voted to say I think this whole list is dumb. It is just a place for people to hate on a genre of music that they can't get into. It's fine to not be into a certain genre, but judge it based on your surface level knowledge. If you actually listen to any genre, you will likely find that there is tons of nuance within it.

I bet people vote to a certain genre they hate and not to tell the monotonous sounds. You may hate pop but pop can be diverse too. Compare old pop to modern pop.

Pop song themes:
Love will find a way
True love
Not caring about haters
Self empowerment
Anti-bullying
Female empowerment

Artists style:
Boys-appealing to girls
Girls-appealing to boys

Instrument:
Autotune

Some pop isn't that bad. Fly by Avril Lavigne is not that popular but it's pop. It's not all booty

2 Hip-Hop

Despite the fact I dislike trap and mumble rap, hip-hop is a pretty diverse genre, you just have to look deeper.

Listen to 2pac biggie smalls or Wu tang clan and come back and say hip hop lacks "diversion"

Wrong! Old School, New School, Horrorcore, Trap, Reggaeton, when it is mixed with Latin music etc. Artists like: DZK, RATM, Lauryn Hill and Slincraze also sound quite different from each other.

3 Metalcore

Really high pitched vocals, screaming, double bass pedals, and that's about it. It's good but it gets old fast.

4 Dubstep

Completely disagree. Dubstep spans some heavy drops, some mellifluous, some not so much, some with metal and classical samples, and some in a chillout beat. It's a very diverse genre.

I agree it's all electronic sounds with some weird vocals in the backround with some bass drops, and the loud or softness decreases and increases every now and then

Electronic noise and bass drops with distorted vocals (if any).

5 Country

How to make a country song:
1. Dress country
2. Find some girls bigger than your refrigerator to prance around
3. Sit on a tractor
4. Start playing guitar
5. Sing about beer and how redneck you are

Though I don't like Country myself, it's more diverse than what everyone thinks actually.

6 Contemporary Christian

Electric drums, minimal guitars, and repetitive, droning lyrics! I'm not saying all Christian music is bad (heck, a ton of my favorite bands are Christian) but this particular kind just sucks!

7 Black Metal

The black metal you've all heard is probably Burzum, Mayhem, Immortal, Gorgoroth, etc. There are more progressive, older black metal bands out there. Such as Celtic Frost, Emperor, even Opeth were considered progressive black metal on their first two albums.

8 Reggaeton

This is the least diverse genre ever. Almost all the songs sounds the same. I really hate this genre at all cost.

9 Chillstep
10 Punk Rock Punk rock is a subgenre of rock music. It usually has rebellious lyrics and down stroked power chords played on guitars. Bad Religion, Sex Pistols, and Green Day (actually pop-punk, which is still punk in a way) are a few punk rock bands. The subgenre influenced thrash metal because of it's down stroked guitar playing and other factors.
The Contenders
11 Hardstyle

I enjoy some hardstyle every now and then, but I'm not entirely sure if I could sit through a whole DJ set of nothing but hardstyle. It's great hard dance music, but there is still a lot of it that sounds similar. That distorted kick drum would probably get really repetitive after awhile.

Is this really a genre?

12 Glam Metal Glam metal is a subgenre of heavy metal that features pop-influenced hooks and guitar riffs, and upbeat rock anthems.
13 Trap

They are all the same. Should be first

14 K-Pop
15 Boogie-Woogie
16 Deep House
17 J-Pop

Oh wait! If you don't know much J-Pop then don't put it here. J-Pop is not just one genre. It's something which undefinable as it is combination of various genres of music. It's more diverse than what most think of it.

18 Emo Emo is a style of rock music characterized by melodic musicianship and expressive, often confessional lyrics. It originated in the mid-1980s hardcore punk movement of Washington, D.C., where it was known as "emotional hardcore" or "emocore" and pioneered by bands such as Rites of Spring and Embrace.
19 Classical

Why is classical and jazz on here? To rank either of them among the least diverse genres is ridiculous. I think you need to do your research and actually learn about what you're talking about if you think so. Both genres are very musically complex and both have such a broad range of different styles. They have numerous periods that are often feel quite different from one another in a lot of ways, and tend to have so much variety in musical characteristics like form, rhythm, texture, harmony, orchestration, dynamics and so on. Whereas a genre such as rock adheres to a more basic set of rules with much less overall diversity in musical characteristics.

The only reason classical made it on this list is because people don't take the time to understand how much talent and intelligence goes into it.

Classical has no lyrics so it is not so diverse. It is symphonic, fast, slow or chaotic. The end.

Seriously? I bet nothing can be more complex than this thing.

20 House
21 Minimal Electro
22 Gospel
23 Indie Rock
24 Death Metal

Whoever voted for this better be joking.

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

Listen to Nirvana, then listen to Sound garden then try to say it "lacks diversity"
