Just wondering.
any band that has no creative input or "cookie cutter" bands is a good way to say it......
i'd say it's about 90% of the bands out there...........
answer your question?.........ha
The thing is, if a band is just bad I have no problem with them. My hatred of a band only happens when they become unescapable. Dave Matthews and Lenny Kravitz are two examples. I don't hate Britteney Spears because I never seem to hear her music, but Dave and Lenny creep into even the alternative stations. Sooner or later they sneak up on me and expose themeselves. It's a nightmare.
I know I might get flamed for this, but I don't like death metal bands at all. If the guy can sing as well as scream I'm all for that, so I like Shadows Fall, and Mudvayne. But I can't stand groups like Arch Enemy, or the Black Dahlia Murder. I'm more into the older metal like Maiden.
you mean aside from pop and r&b groups?-
(this be a long list)
blink 182
simple plan(and anything like them)
limp bitchit
linkin park
poopa roach
evenesance(and all those other bands like them that get some chic with a voice in front and crank out shitty commercial metal type drivlle)
theres about a dozen others that are on regular rotation on rock/alternative stations now that just blow and I can't remember all thier names-
i hate Evanesance too .. but at least its useful, if someone mentions that they like them then you can just walk away without listening to anything else they might say!Quote:

I don't really hate any bands, probably because I never listen to the radio, so I don't come into contact with that.
yea i generally dont listen to the radio but its sometimes unavoidable. im fine with listening to most bands as long as there is meaning behind the songs but rap is just mindless people singing about money bitches and cars
i cant stand boy bands hehe
i completely agree with ya. if your gona be the lead singer of a band youd better sing , any moron with a mic can screech and growlQuote:

Dislike their fashion sense: Any emo band (they all shop at American Eagle anyway, so how do you tell them apart!)
Dislike the actual music: keane (snore), coldplay (double snore), trapt (even their name is stupid)
"The" bands. The Hives, The Vines, the the the... just about any band that has a number in their name, big sign that they are severly lacking in creativity. (excluding front 242 and a few others). Any Christian punk band, those two adjectives should cancel eachother out.and any band that sounds just like any other band, ie bands that try to be other bands (godsmack i'm looking at you).
that should just about cover the extent of it.

Having been one of the morons of which you speak... try it.Quote:

If you can make it through two songs without passing out, lemme know.
It's hard. I've been practicing for a little over 5 months. My voice does go out at times. But I wait a day, and go back to it if my voice is back that day. No serious damage yet. I try to keep my vocal chords as lubricated as I can.Quote:

As is so-called 'hard-core' like Linkin' Park, Nickleback, etc.
I don't like the Offspring, nor GreenDay....
Country is awful and makes me want to die...
bands that came out after the Early 80s that have the word "the" at the biginning of their name
Just about any band after 88' or so. I guess I'm just stuck in the past and radio today sucks bad.
can we all agree that Bon jovi sucks serious shit?
AFI has really gotten my goat. They remind me alot evenesence, in that pop aspect. They seem to me like they are trying to hard to be something they are not. Like they want to be on Uranium or something. Making themselves out to be metal. That just doesn't sit well with me.
hey i loved bon jovi's first tune...*runaway*...and he is awfully pretty...still today even...i love big hair 80's hairband ballads...like cinderella and great white..scorps...etc..etc..Quote:

And it's very poorly informed advice.Quote:

fuck it everything these days is hated by somebody I have listened to it all and I like some and dis-like others but then so does everybody not all artists in a genre our bad just a lot of genres are made so that the bads can make money and be cool.
Any singers that are the siblings of a bigger singer: ashley simpson, aaron carter, etc.
