Artists/Bands you friggin' Hate

Busted & McFly and everything like that! - teeny, nice, pop-rock bands with stylists, pretending to be all rocky and edgy. - fuck them all..

Nickelback

Creed

LMFAO

Lady Gaga

Lil Wayne

Chris Brown

The Spin Doctors

Otto von Schirach

Rusko

Tiesto

Kaskade

Bon Iver

The Killers

She & Him

Crystal Castles

Phoenix

Grimes

Laurel Halo

Jack Johnson

John Mayer

Deftones

Fever Ray

Dream Theater. Prog gone completely horribly wrong. FUCK DREAM THEATER

Also, any of that bullshit pseudo-jazz with a singer trying to be all sophisticated. Kind of hard to explain but basically any jazz trying to be jazz but completely missing the point

I don't hate him, but I think FlyLo is tremendously overrated. He just seems like a more psychedelic version of Prefuse73, not that there's anything wrong with that but it's just kind of boring.

Also Com Truise is like a bland, emotionally blunted version of VHS Head.

Haven't heard anything from Animal Collective that made me want to listen to it again.

And I doubt I would miss any of these smarmy indie rock bands that I can't even tell apart.

I also dislike "buttrock" or "glamrock" or "hair" "something" and I think metal is both bland and obnoxious, although it's fun live.

I don't hate any of it though. I just wouldn't choose it. I don't even know that I would ask someone to turn it off unless they were playing the same thing over and over.

animal collectie aphex twin squarepusher

everything ever

Actually I do hate the kind of music that gets used in Apple commercials, but mostly because I feel like they are trying to get me to feel warm and fuzzy about an overpriced computing device. I don't really have a problem with Apple's products, some of them seem really nice and I would love to have a MBP or that new retina display notebook dealy (so pretty). But I fucking hate their marketing and I hate the cult of mac, and I hate the music associated with it. Ever since that first iphone commercial with that terrible twee xylophone music.

I'm too old and mature to really hate any music, but not mature enough to not condescend in a thread devoted to catharsis.

one band i truly, truly hate...

Fun.

i'm with sweepstakes on Com Truise, and "the cult of mac". definitely.

ABBA & Merzbow are great (even if quite different..) !!!!

And how could anyone hate ABBA, seriously, you need help.

Agreed on all accounts. What's up with hating ABBA?

Also I've probably listened to more Merzbow this year than any other artist, but that's largely due to the fact that he was more material to dig through than literally everybody, and I like to be thorough when I'm into an artist.

Puddle of Mudd, Theory of a Dead Man...

Does anyone hate any really old music, like 30's, 40's, 50's era shit? I find even the shmaltziest dreck from those eras to be enjoyable on some level, or at least inoffensive.

Anyone that's not Ceephax.

McFly

They were in a movie with Lindsay Lohan and the drummer even dated her IIRC.

They may be pricks but one has to respect such achievements.

They didn't date, Harry from McFly went to her hotel room after their days filming and they french kissed. No respect for that achievement whatsoever.

Rubbish bands are:

Mumford & Sons

The Killers

Mark Ronson and his band

Example and his band

Professor Green and his band

Basically anything that i see on these iTunes Festival highlights shows

And i hate cockrock, ie. Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Flaming Lips, anything like that is unbearable.

It's cool if you hate them, but Flaming Lips are one of the least cockrocky bands in existence.

Yeah, i just kinda lumped them in with cockrockers because they wear those costumes on stage. Although, so do Super Furry Animals and I don't mind them at all.

Lol (?)

GTFO.

I also agree that example is a massive dick!

and Prof Green is just laughable.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

(1) Older people are too mature to hate newer music, contrary to the popular impression created by everyone's observation ever that older people really fucking hate newer music; and (2) WATMM hates ABBA but apparently nobody bothers mentioning National Socialist Black Metal.

Interesting, watmm.

Edit: Still, fuck P Diddy. Also, fuck NSBM. Also, I'm old and everything is turning to shit and what are you doing on my lawn, please get off.

Nelly Furtado

Owl City

Aphex Twin for wasting his talent and somehow, year on year, becoming more petulent and immature and less appreciative of the luck he's had which allows him to make muic all day and not have to offer anything to the music world. Which could be the stance of a struggling musician but I'm not one of those, I just don't think like some that 'he doesn't owe us anything'. He doesn't, of course, but I thought he released music to offer something to the world, not please people, or make money, which is what he says is the reason.

I don't see the point of him anymore, I went to see him live and he didn't play any of his own tracks, only remixes (of his tracks) and average techno other people would play. I like musicians and artists who have a love and desire for their art and want everything they do to be outstanding, and whom are also able to do this without thinking 'more outstanding' means diluted and more mainstream. At the moment I enjoy as much following people like Sufjan Stevens and Animal Collective as I do their output. Sufjan in particular put on a live show with his Age of Adz tour that was far beyond anyone in the audience was expecting, at the end everyone on stage looked totally taken aback by the huge applause they received. Animal Collective are also prolific, they release additional solo albums, visual albums, eps and don't tend to treat either making music or releasing it as such a huge chore. I just heard the other day that Sufjan Stevens is releasing another christmas album box set in November.

The most Aphex Twin does as a treat is put up average acid tracks onto Rephlex which sound like similar and alternative versions of tracks released 5 years ago. His couldn't care less attitude was attractive when he was actually releasing music. Before people realise it'll be 10 years since The Tuss and then 20 years since drukqs. When I wonder why film directors go such a long time before making another film the reasons are usually because they were researching, trying to find a story they believed in, or mostly having immense trouble with financing the project, so as frustrating as it is it's at least understandable. I think he needs a near death experience to remind him that he's mortal and should not waste any more time.

And Muse for thinking little of music and being offensive.

New Kids On The Block, Vanilla Ice, Milli Vanilli, MC Hammer..
