I'm surprised he is not higher in this list. - ShyChick
Why do people always say he's that bad? I mean, he's not the best singer in the world. But I still think he has a lot of talent. - dipperpinesfangirl618
He is killed the music along with Nicki Minaj, no doubt. - 05yusuf09
It's always obvious he's number 1. - Neonco31

2 Rap
There are many rappers that are better than Eminem and its not too hard to find them so open your eyes. - MLGPoossySlayer6969
One word. Eminem! He's the ONLY reason this shouldn't be on the list! - dipperpinesfangirl618
I hate it, and I also hate that people dislike for opinion, - Harri666
I disagree rappers like 2pac Eminem notorious b.i.g and even some current rappers like Kendrick Lamar aren't that bad I'm not saying rap is the best (there is a lot of bad current rap) but it's definitely better then some other genres (country ) - samanime

3 People Getting Judged On Looks
Madonna was the one who started this stupid trend. She paved the way for mediocre singers to become famous because of their sex appeal and their willingness to create a provocative and overtly sexual image of themselves.
This is one of the absolute worst things.
Justin at Number One? People still make good music, just it does not get popular enough. - 445956
4 Nu-metal
Korn, Disturbed, Soulfly and Slipknot

Though I'm pissed that they did not disband, I think they actually sounded BETTER without zayn...
If Justin Bieber joined 1 direction I would kill myself
The are stupid. Once I said "I don't like one direction" on msp and some teen girl told me to kill myself. - Lunala

6 Greed
Its all about the money, not music - gemcloben

MTV is an American basic cable and satellite television channel which is a part of the "Viacom Music and Entertainment Group" which is the flagship Property of the Viacom Media Networks division of Viacom, of which it is a subsidiary. Video killed the radio star.
This gets my vote because MTV is a Tele-VISION and focuses more on what you see (looks) than on what you hear (music). - Metal_Treasure
Brought us all this glam metal - gemcloben
MTV always cares incompetent pop stars. - 05yusuf09

8 Almost all songs having a reference to sex

9 Pop
Its made with ghost producers and sounds all the same.
10 No More Guitar Solos
They may not be applicable to all genres, but they do take a lot of talent. I don't really see songs that have pretty long guitar solos nowadays. But I'm not saying that having no guitar solos is bad.
The only number 1 songs of the year with guitar solos are thinking out loud and rude. there not really eddie Van Halen. - gemcloben
If you want guitar solos, listen to metal music! - Metal_Treasure
Actually there are still guitar solos today. Killer solos�"its still popular in thrash metal!

Jacqueline Marie "Jackie" Evancho is an American classical crossover singer who gained wide recognition at an early age and, since 2009, has issued an EP and five albums, including a platinum and gold album and three Billboard 200 top 10 debuts . The reality is that the kids who hate on her are intimidated by the fact that a regular, everyday kid from Pittsburgh, who is their own age, has emerged onto the world stage with a historic talent level.
Ruined this site more than music - gemcloben
13 Auto-Tune
If you use this, you obviously have no talent - Kfox101
14 Songs about partying, sex, and drugs becoming popular among the mainstream crowd
I'm sure the song titled "Entrails Ripped from a Virgins C*** " is perfectly okay, because its metal. But if a artist nowadays says any reference to sex, drugs, or money they deserve to be shot. Just because a certain style of lyrics doesn't appeal to you doesn't mean it doesn't appeal to others. - MLGPoossySlayer6969
15 The rumor of rock and metal being the devil's music
Could at least put this at number 4?
Curse the person who spread this stupid rumor. - Metalthomas
This is offensive to people who like rock music - pineliek
It is actually racist. - 445956

16 Posers
17 Screaming Fans
Screaming fans are nothing new; Rudolf Valentino in the 1920's, Bing Crosby in the 1930's, Frank Sinatra in the 1940's, Elvis Presley in the 1950's, etc, etc. etc.
At least it's better than fans who care more about getting likes on Facebook instead of ACTUALLY putting the phone down and enjoying the concert they came there for! - NikBrusk
It may me nothing new, but it is bad - gemcloben
18 Napster
There is better ones than napster now - gemcloben
No one uses Napster anymore. We have piratebay and it's 100 times better then Napster. I support music downloading and if you don't like it tough - Sabbath
19 Simon Cowell
Simon Phillip Cowell is an English reality television judge, entrepreneur, philanthropist, film, record, and television producer.
Simon Phillip Cowell is an English reality television judge, entrepreneur, philanthropist, film, record, and television producer. Simon Cowell is awesome. If you think he's too mean then you'd best not go into showbiz because compared to normal talent observers, he's super nice. - TheEvilNuggetCookie
He is one of the reasons why the Charts is Crap.
The biggest ass to ever walk the face of the earth.

20 Dubstep
I hate dubstep it's so overrated and dumb - Harri666
Worst music genre ever. - 05yusuf09
Sarcasm ahead:
How is dubstep on this list? I mean really, is dubstep not the definition of music? I can feel exactly the anger or joy or agony of the musician when he put together that aaah wubwubwub we hfhfhfhf lo flaflaflafla zien shaaa psh oOOOo weeieieiei wuoiuouw
