Top 10 Music Genres People Either Love or Hate

The Top Ten
1 Pop

Obvious on TTT. Though I'm quite indifferent on it. What? Sometimes they're catchy, and some artists are talented in pop too!

Some pop is meaningful actually, but you guys look for the wrong songs

2 Rap

I don't really consider myself a huge rap fan to be honest. Not because of lyrics about drugs, sex, and women, but because I think rap is too extroverted. I like my music more introverted, but that's just me.

Rap is my favourite

3 Country

Country music is great

4 Dubstep

I can certainly understand why some people dislike it, and fact is, it's not for everyone. One has to be selective with it, and one finds that, given a lot of factors that differentiate mainstream millionaire DJs from the actually hard-working musicians with a smaller audience, some of the more understated dubstep artists are actually the best ones. My favourite artist under this category is therefore Electus, one of few modern artists who can really be called a multi-talented musician, and one who is constantly coming up with original and haunting material unlike anything he will have done before it. Skrillex should take a look at music like that, and see how the genre of dubstep should be done.

5 Nu Metal
6 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
7 Death Metal

A lot of people hate Death Metal, yet it also has a devoted fanbase (I'm personally inbetween). I might not be a fan, but I highly respect Death and Chuck Schuldiner and I've tried bands like Amon Amarth, which I was able to enjoy somewhat thanks to its music. While its vocals can be hard to get into, there are instances where they could be appreciated.

8 K-Pop
9 EDM
10 New Wave
