What is the biggest turn-off for you in music?

Are there any aspects of music that just bother you so much, that keep you from enjoying the rest of the music?

A particular sound,vocal style, guitar playing that you simply cannot stomach for whatever reason?

For me, I absolutely cannot stand that pop-punk guitar playing style or the vocals. They instantly bring to mind terrible teen movies and MTV loving, skate-boarding, punk poser surfer dudes who worship Bam and Jackass.

Equally annoying to me are those whiny emo vocals and the lyrics that come with.

What about you?

It depends on the kind of music. I don't like growling and death grunts in metal, but I can accept screaming once in a while in certain circumstances.

I hate when the singer sounds like they're about to start fucking crying. Go to hell, Bright Eyes, you faggot.

Yeah, Emo vocals are just...very pathetic and stuff.

I like Black Metal and Death Metal vocals though!

lol

Punk Rock vocals irritate me greatly.

Vocals in TRUE punk rock, or in that poser Pop-punk garbage?

Verify please?

OY OY OY OY


punk4evr woot

That's Oi punk biotch, and not all Punk is like that

I don't like that retarded crap either.

Nickelback. Shit sounds like Country mixed with Rock...wtf.

Wait, wut?

You consider Nickelback as "music"

I don't even dignify it that much!

My biggest turn-off in music is hard to understand lyrics. I mean when I do listen to a song for the words, I'd like to be able to understand what's being said. Thus the reason, I don't care for much rap. They tend to make words up.

A lot of lyrics in songs are complete rubbish in my opinion, unless they are trying to narrate a story like in Bal-Sagoth or something.

Just my opinion though.

My biggest turn-offs are crappy vocals, or just vocals that don't appeal to me like death vocals. Also, horrid lyrics, repetitive beats (i.e. rap), repetitive themes throughout songs (with exceptions), and slow and somber accoustic guitars (i.e. some country) are annoying. I'm sure I could go on but then I'd be getting to specific in genres and not just things about any music that can turn me away.

Wait a minute...you dislike Death Metal vocals, yet you can tolerate the pseudo tough-guy Hardcore vocals by 3 Inches Of Blood's secondary singer?

Not trying to pick a fight, i'm just saying...

lol, alright, you have me there, but I much prefer their lead singer over the background vocalist. I guess the main reason I can tolerate it is because he only comes in at certain parts of the songs and doesn't sing all the way through.

LOL true...but that 2nd singer guy is terrible.

I like Death Metal vocals, but HATE Hardcore tough-guy shit like what that guy does.

I hate that grunting shit they do in certain metal genres. It's like...grow a voice box, freak.


But I mean...that's just me.

Hey, you are certainly entitled to your opinion just like the rest of us

Tis cool regardless!

Other people get to be dicks about voicing their opinions. Why not me, rite?

Hey, you aren't a dick!

A dick would be all like "everyone who doesn't like MY musical taste can go to hell!"

"Everyone who doesn't like MY musical taste can go to hell!"

j/k :p

I don't really have any turn-offs...except for when the music I'm listening to has absolutely no melody

Umm, of the music you haven't liked still had melody in it.

You just can't seem to look past certain vocal styles or raw production or whatever.

I'm fairly certain that Gorogorth had no melody to it. It was mono-pitched, vocally. What I meant, and I can't believe I have to further expound upon this, however, is that I don't like music that has LITTLE to no melody and has no relation to me as a person. I like melodic music that I can relate to...and I can't relate to this metal nonsense. My tastes in music changes with the season

Dude, stop fucking bringing up Gorgoroth!

I don't even like them much, and I never reccomended them to you

There is so much variety of music out there, even in metal, and you just seem to not like Metal much in general.

But hey, that's your choice.
