holidaywonk · 27/12/2008 16:47

r 'n' b (not proper soul, but that nu-style whoa-whoa-whoa-oooh-hoooo ooh baby vocalising). Gah.

duchesse · 27/12/2008 16:48

American rap. I love French rap though.

MoreSpamThanGlam · 27/12/2008 16:48

cRAP
Hip Hop
RnB

Not all but mainly those that "sing" about killing others, ho's and guns. Repulsive.

And most X factor cheese.

hotCheeseBurns · 27/12/2008 16:53

country

Penthesileia · 27/12/2008 16:55

Crossover classical, or whatever it's called. People like Catherine Jenkins, Russell Watson, etc.

Argh.

It's so, I don't know - dishonest. People call them 'classical' music stars, but the majority of them haven't done anything like the training, nor have the voices, of 'real' classical musicians. Their voices are, on the whole, so weak and awful, but nobody realises! Yuck. Just hearing them warbling and ruining certain songs makes me want to rip my ears off.

And violent rap. Shudder.

holidaywonk · 27/12/2008 16:55

Oh and prog rock. Frank Zappa especially.

UnquietDad · 27/12/2008 16:56

Hip-hop/rap style gubbins without a doubt. It all sounds like people shouting.

Country comes a close second, so I shuddered in horror in 2005 when there was a Number One single which actually merged the genres. I've mentioned this before, but for those that missed it last time...

It was a collaboration between someone called "Nelly" and someone called Tim McGraw. The former presumably has enough bling and "attitude" and stupid sportswear for him not to mind people pointing at him and saying "you've got a girl's name". The latter is one of those people you only find in the American charts, clad in shades and a black hat and sporting a camp goatee. It meanders along for four minutes (although it seems much, much longer) with no vestige of a tune and one or both of Nelly and Tim growling "it's allll in mah hheeeee-d". The video gives away the fact that the two of them haven't even met and probably recorded the thing in two separate studios thousand of miles apart, thus betraying the "song"'s origins as a marketing-man's dream. And it'll probably lead to more amalgamations of the two genres: "Mah Baby Dang Done Left Me (So My Homeez Gonna Fill Da Bitch Wit Lead)" perhaps? Or "You Said Mah Dawg Was Ugly (So Mah Homeez Ain't Gonna Hang Wit Ya Posse No More)"?

that club music where one person shouts all the words whilst it sounds like someone is being electrified in the background.
It's relentless, you can't hear any of the 'lyrics' and seems to be played exclusively by corsa/clio owners, under 25, with blacked out windows, which are open so everyone can hear it.

Nothing like announcing that a sackless fecker has entered the vicinity.

UnquietDad · 27/12/2008 17:01

Oh yes, that too, what Astarte said.

Loads of them have the same thacka-thacka-thacka-WHUMP beat and the SAME FECKING LINE repeated over and over, whether that is "I wanna give ya devooootion" or "Do ya wanna do ya wanna" or "Nobodeh lurves ya lahk aaah do".

Mooseheart · 27/12/2008 17:02

Dreadful bluesy type music always played by bands at weddings. Mustang Sally etc... I feel like an uncool twat whenever I have tried to dance to it in the past so I generally don't bother.

...heavens.

Young persons listen to the most awful, vulgar nonsense these days.

Much of it sounds like the gramophone has become stuck in the groove. It appears to be performed by artistes whose names sound like a wrestling bill...

'MC Rabbit Sucker vs DJ Lazeee Dayzeee' and the like.

Sigh.

...in my day, you could hear the words properly. Like this for example. The artistes had proper names, too. Like Poly Styrene, and Nicky Tesco....

Thunderduck · 27/12/2008 17:06

And rap.

OP posts:
UnquietDad · 27/12/2008 17:06

MadameOvary, you have just reminded me of something I'd tried to block from my mind:

"beeee-bab-a-badda-bah
beeee-bab-a-badda-bah"

aagh!

mediocrebronze · 27/12/2008 17:07

What people call rnb now not what my dad calls rnb which is quite similar to blues and I actually like that.
