I am tired of "singers" talking the lyrics in every song they sing! You are a singer not a talker!!

I am also tired of radio stations playing the same songs over and over again.. I think radio staions are the reasons why certain Good songs are not as popular as they should be!

I'm tired of en masse love songs... I want to hear songs that talk about other things. I mean most love songs I heard are really just about sexing someone up... who needs that on a hour-to-hour basis? Not me. I'd love to hear foreign or dance/trance/techno music and not just on a special designated day because that just paints it as not normal.

I'm tired of so-called Rap. I don't understand why they 'sing' about having hoes and money and how they can get sex when ever they want, blah blah blah.

Tired of songs not making sense whatsoever. I hear the music and I think I'm going to like it, but then they start singing and completely ruin it for me.

Repetitive songs on radio stations is annoying. I agree with you there. I just ended up buying an adapter for my car so I could play my iPod instead of listening to the radio. I'd love to hear some techno/ trance songs on the radio, now that would be pretty cool.

You're only listening to the tip of the iceberg, honestly. Go listen to Flobots, or something underground. There's a whoooole load of things better than most mainstream rap (well wait, Eminem's still awesome).

Anyway, things that get me really tired about quick that are music related, and eventually turn into me ranting:

-Bands who only make music to make money from their fans, or fans of another band.
-People ranting about the radio. There are points that are true, but it all boils down to the fact it was made for popular music from it's conception, just like breaking news is made for popular news. It's only a sign of music changing, not the radio.
-"Emos." I know what real emo is, and it's not MCR/Linkin Park. And I'm dead surprised this trend is still happening.
-People who think Deadmau5 is the only Electronic artist in existence, or on that note think that Techno is the only Electronic subgenre.
-"MEEEEEEEETAL METALLICA ROXX!" No sorry, I may like my metal much so... but I don't enjoy the "metalhead lifestyle."
-Hipsters who won't listen to something, and only listen to one specific type of music because it's popular/obscure. Even though most of the popular artists don't deserve it, that reason alone shouldn't determine tastes. Neither should your religion, going on a tangent from that.

Flobots are indeed worth a listen! Mainstream rap is indeed terrible though. I don't even consider it "rap". XD

Things that get old fast for me:
- Talking about how your women/ex is a "bitch" or that you want to kill, or do whatever to her
- Drinking/doing drugs/partying all of the time.
- Overuse of BAD computer editing or too much auto-tune.


Now, I don't mind GOOD electronic music but bad electronic music just irritates me.

I also have to agree 100% with the Metallica bit. I enjoy metal but get sick of people saying things like that.

The fan base for a lot of bands really makes me not want to be associated with them, which is sad.

Oh and the whole "punk" music thing. Green Day is NOT punk or anarchist, sorry.

Brofist. Sane metal fans unite! XD

Oh yeah, that whole "punk" thing. That fanbase (as much as I hate going by fanbase in music, there are instances) has made me make shifty eyes at almost all of today's punk rock outside of Bad Religion's newer stuff (Graffin makes it pretty clear that he doesn't support that kind of thing with an entire essay). Half of which aren't punk rock to begin with... silly record companies mislabeling genres.

Isn't it usually the fanbase of just about anything that can make or break shit? I can't say that I have a lot of experience in that aspect but I do have a bit. For example, while I may not like ICP, I could probably just ignore them and not get the urge to punch people in the throat if their fans weren't a part of the equation. Add them to the picture and I pretty much start foaming at the mouth. And in the completely opposite direction, I have also had the opportunity to mingle with the fanbase for groups such as GWAR and have had only positive experiences with them. Now if they had driven me batshit crazy then I would be much less inclined to support them in the way that I do.

I'm pretty much enraged over all these mainstream artists with no talent in singing. (Or they just choose not to use it.) It kind of makes me want to smash my face into a rotating fan every time I hear some song that's almost really good; except that the person singing it sounds like a warbling, dying cat.

Also pretty sick of auto-tuning, because most of the people who do it these days would sound 100% better if they would just SING instead of making their voices sound robotic. Especially if it's just a few lines out of a song that they do it on, or something in the background. So again, the song is almost excellent, and then there's this awful sound making your ears bleed. (That being said, I can really appreciate auto-tuning depending on how it's used.)

Which leads me to my rage about songs with poorly thought out/written lyrics. I don't care how good the beat is, how good that artist is singing; I can't stand songs that sound like they were written by child in diapers. Maybe they're all running out of ideas, but is it too much to ask for a little creativity with the lyrics?

Maybe I'm just a little behind the times. Are dead animal noises and robots what's popular now? Am I missing something? I'll admit, I like some of the new stuff, but I kind of feel like something terrible is happening to music. I'm not one of those people who holds on to all the past songs and gets mad when someone doesn't know what some obscure 70s band I like is...but... I think I'm just mostly tired of everything sucking, from my point of view anyway.

I try not to listen to the fanbase of most things (unless I happen to turn into a fan), because I like having as neutral of a perspective on things, but just... ugh. Sometimes it really ruins it for me. ICP is a great example. They seem to egg on their fans a lot with their stuff, and Juggalos tend to follow it almost literally like a religion.

hmmmm.... >w<
I really dislike how many of the singers I hear just talk... they dont sing, they talk. It's like the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. What disturbs me is that singing programs like Vocaloid and Utauloid make voices that have even more emotion than humans. It's just... ugh.... -.-
I also pretty much hate all the mainstream music and artists that think that because they're all cute and glomp-able and stuff, they're automatic rockstars. No offense to the Jonas Brothers fans out there, but honestly, without Disney Channel, they'd still be playing in a dang garage. Rebecca Black is an entirely other story -- that's just a rich kid who wants to make some money, so her parents payed a truckload of cash to get a record thing. All that happened was that the song because infamous for being bad. I just can't stand this stuff....
Also -- AUTOTUNING. That has to just stop. Most people sound better without the autotuning. I can only understand using it if you're trying to make a cover for a song that's by a Vocaloid/Utauloid, because their music is designed to fit the robotic-toned, but still unbelievably realistic voices.
Erm... also... The lyrics that people are using nowadays is just BAD. They're either all about love this, and love that. Or about how some dude wants to kill his gf. OR -- they're just some retarded thing that sounds like it came out of the singer's behind. Creativity would be nice.
There's also been this thing about metal and stuff... like... people always say that metal fans should be all hardcore and act in this certain way and dress like this and love Metallica and blahblahblah. Sorry, I don't like that. I LOVE metal, though, and no one ever believes it because I don't look the part. I look all innocent and stuff, but I love metal... so meh.
Finally, since I'm sure this has turned into a rant, I absolutely hate mainstream rap. It's not that I hate rap itself, I just don't like how all the mainstream rap is about being drunk/having sex/having money/other related things. Um... Linkin Park (which I know is rap/rock) I will agree to listen to (only their old stuff, like Hybrid Theory) because it sounds great and because the lyrics have some deeper meaning.

Well my dear, I consider music to be the closest thing to religion that I'll ever have so I can understand a certain level of devotion. However, not to the point where we lose the ability to think for themselves. Things just become dangerous at that point.

I'm not liking how a lot of new US music is getting whineyer and Whineyer. Everyone is trying to use the emo thing to get money because it is "in" right now when they just sound pathetic. as far as rap is concerned... i tend to listen to the older stuff more than the new stuff and when i say older i mean from the 80's and early 90's.

Yeah I know that its like at first the song is good but after a while when the radio station keeps playing the song so many times it starts to get annoying >_>...

I hadn't really thought about this before, but I think what I'm really tired of the most is the way people argue over music.

For whatever reason, people seem to have to create enemies out of others just because they don't like something that they do. It's kind of ridiculous in my opinion, and I don't really see the point of it. I don't understand why Country fans and Rap fans can't be bothered to get along or why everyone hates (insert your choice genre here) and has to complain about it all the time.

I listen to rap, pop, metal, emotive core, classical, piano, opera, techno, hardstyle; pretty much, I just listen to everything. I'm tired of people freaking out when they find out that yes I like country music, and yes that is metal blasting from my speakers. I've actually been verbally insulted for liking a certain genre. I've been called a Satan worshiper for listening to metal. (Even though I've got my fair share of religious music.)

People argue over the meanings of songs, over stupid things about the singers; they argue about whether or not one song has religious meaning and they BASH people who don't agree with them on it. I've watched it happen online and in person.

It's just stupid and I wish everyone would learn to shut up and just let people do their own thing.

I agree with this. I tend to see this a LOT in many American bands but not all, and I have no idea why. Everyone seems to try a version of "Crawling In My Skin" (even though it was originally about drugs, I mean the meaning people take it for) to at least some remote degree, and people love it. Why? Because of the average teenage population and disenfranchised people. It makes moneeeeeeey.

rap in general to me is annoying if I wanted to hear someone talk with a beat in the backround I woud look for that, music requires actual singing not talking lol, secondly i cannot stand country it literally gives me a headache and im not making that up. it hurts my head apparently for my extreme dislike of it. country is just bleh. Second thing I hate is auto tune ROFL i mean really anyone could do it if you use that crap it takes talent to sing without it.

Thought i'd make something perfectly clear... i never say i hate any genre, because i listen to music from literally every genre. I don't even tend to say that i dislike certain bands because some bands have put out one or two songs that i end up liking. I like ICP, Gaelic Storm, Metallica, Coal miner's Daughter, 2NE1, Miyavi, and various musical soundtracks, and that's just to name a few. I gotta say that i do have to agree with ottersaurus on her points about arguing with everyone about what genre is good or bad. In the end, it is all a matter of perspective. My comment about US music becoming more and more emo was just a thought i'd bounce around because it had occured to me after watching mtv music early in the morning, a few months ago, for a few days in a row.

There's a few types of production I really don't like. Much of the Christian rock and 'new country' has a production sound that really irks me, and I also disliked the trend for awhile of all new so-called 'punk' bands trying to emulate the oldschool SoCal punk sound. There were other types of punk than SoCal punk. I was on the east coast when punk first reared its head and I prefer the east coast and Euro punk styles better.

Im tired of the same things. Like when artists have 5 or so songs that sound exactly the same but with different words.

I'm tired of poorly written and poorly played music becoming popular. I'm tired of singers who can't carry a bucket let alone a tune caterwauling on the radio. I'm tired of good bands being put down and shoved to the side because their image isn't mainstream enough.
Also I'm tired of hearing about K-rockathon going on... The highway is going to be shut down that day because of it and I need to use it. besides the bands aren't all that great anyways.

I'm tired of how it's always the music with the most idiotic and poorly written lyrics that becomes popular.

There are things I dislike when it comes to some music, but it doesn't really bother me because I don't listen to it. I never liked the songs on the radio much so I just listen to my iPod. Its not that big of a deal. The only time I really got irritated/amused was at a guy I knew who was really into ICP. He sounded so incredibly stupid and self involved when he told this one guy how wrong he was for not liking ICP. The other guy got irritated, said a few things that were correct, and dropped it because he didn't want to get into an arguement that wasn't worth it. That said I don't like people who get into one band and think they are better than everyone else over it.

First and foremost, the auto-tuning kills me. Simple as that. Others have covered it much better than me, though, so I'll leave that plain and simple.
Along with that, I hate it when sound effects are overdone and the song just goes BOOMPOWSIRENSIRENCRASH.

Another tiny thing is how straight forward lyrics are. I always love those songs that make you think, "God! I can so relate!" even if you have no idea what it all means when put together. It's always just about a girl or a guy, usually both. Love can be a great topic, but it's hard to do it right.

Oh, and I hate it when people think they're better than everyone else because they listen to -insert band.- No band is awesome enough to place one person over another just because they're a fan. It's even worse when they say something along the lines of, "That's not REAL music you're listening to. Sure, each note's sound waves follow a repeating pattern, as characteristic of most musical sounds and sure, the melody's well put together... but it's not real music. THIS is music because I say so." No one tells me what's music unless they appear insanely wise, probably sporting a twenty foot long beard and stuff.

One more. I hate that so many songs use parts of other songs and generally just ruin whatever the other song was. It's fine if done well; again, I figure it's a tough thing because I haven't seen it done well all too often.

I'd probably hate songs a lot less if radio stations didn't pretend there are only 20 songs in existence, but that's been covered, too.

This is gonna be long:

Radios keep playing the same song over. Audio-tune is a thing now. The singers look like crackheads. They cannot sing and the people who can sing are not even famous! The so called "in thing" today is all about sex sex sex and more sex. Rap isn't really good anymore. Singers are getting paid to talk in the songs. They are fake, (plastic surgery and stuff) I mean what the heck. i am tired of people who can sing not even getting anywhere with it then some fake lady with huge tits comes in and can't sing but what do you know shes signed and stuff. I swear today all society cares about is looks looks and looks. I mean what happened to personality. All I care about is personality. I mean looks are a plus but having great looks isn't everything. If society keeps this up with not only the music industry but modeling and movies and stuff... I think teens like me are going to become more insecure. I think that some music souldn't even be allowed to be played because of the lyrics. I get if you are being humorous and stuff but if you are serious and every line has something about going down I don't wanna hear about that. I also hate hearing how they can f*** you better than anyone else O.O personally i don't wanna know that lol...
Well ima stop before this gets to long..

Actually now that I think about it. I HATE dubstep. Even using dubstep as base music for other songs. The repetitive 'Garage band' sound of it and the "Woah wowowoWoaw!" of it gives me a headache. One of those eye piercing brain rattling headaches. I understand that people do like it and I'm not saying they're taste in music is bad I am just saying that personally, Dubstep is not my cup o tea. And I have to turn the radio off or to a different station when it comes on, just so I can continue to pay attention while driving.
