I don’t mind that people have different musical tastes to me, I’m not sad, but I personally don’t enjoy screamo or metal stuff. I’ve tried I just can’t vibe with it. |

I don’t like the rubbish that my daughter keeps playing. Stuff like One Direction bore me stupid. All the crap from the so called ‘talent shows,’ is just a bunch of tone deaf teens with different pitches of squark. |

There’s a few genres I’m not a fan of. But I find most don’t like my taste in music which is cool. I’m very much a rnb, rap, grime, garage, basement music gal. Not a fan of metal, rock, country, jazz. |

ABBA & anything else with a disco feel/vibe.
Also a Lot of modern R&B is pure ear trash as well, generic sounds, from generic singers, all lacking any individuality, just copy & paste for sale sake. |

I dislike pretty well everything since the millenium.
I have the good fortune to have been around in the 60s,70s and 80s when we had real music played by real musicians. |

Rap turned to utter shit around the mid 90's, there used to be distinct styles and sounds for each person way back, now its McDonalds noise and the ubiquitous look/sound/attitude.
Also, have i ever mentioned how much i fucking detest Queen? |

Avant guard stuff, where the music becomes abstract, structureless and crosses more into "performance art"... sometimes in some genres that's actually not too bad I find, like electronic music (sometimes.)
Funnily enough most people think that's what jazz is, but it doesn't have to be.
For the folks that don't like jazz, have a listen to "koto song" by Dave Brubeck..
I don't like manufactured music.
Anything that Simon cowell is involved with needs to be cryogenically frozen & ejected into deep space. |

I would love to like Tom Waits but I can't stand him. His voice sets my teeth on edge. So many people have had me listen to their favourite song thats bound to change my mind but my mind remains stubbornly unchanged.
I don't think there's any entire genre where I can't find a single song I like though. |

"Jazz, it's a cacophony of noise starting and going nowhere "
Koto song, Dave Brubeck...Paul Desmond's saxophone playing..It's beautiful.
I'm on a mission to turn folks onto jazz..
Sorry. (Again). |

Oh... Mariah Carey too. She has an amazing vocal range but I don't need to listen to 27 note trills while she's singing. Just pick a note! |

Most of the stuff that I don’t particularly like or enjoy listening too, I couldn’t put a name to the genre, because I don’t have enough knowledge of those types of music to be able to categorise them, I just know it’s not my bag, but that’s fine, cos there’s plenty of other stuff out there that I really enjoy. |

Most rap stuff that just sounds like a bunch of blokes shouting.
Thrash metal
I'm not too keen on some jazz either, eloquently described as a bunch of talented musicians all playing a different tune at the same time. |

Most genres have at least a gem inside them, that said if picking a genre pop itself or just club music the type that's just a fucking beat over and over where they maybe wrote a chorus and that's about the just of it. Used to despise rock music as thought it was just people shouting, you actually realise the effort that goes into singing certain genres as you get older though or are into singing yourself  |

Anything that demonstrates musical illiteracy, such as bass lines that basically double the melody line. That covers a lot of the crap churned out nowadays.
Oh, and Philip Glass. I've rehearsed and performed a couple of his works on the basis that there's other stuff I only got after going through that process with it. Nope, still didn't work. You can keep it.

I did like his piano soundtrack for the original candyman horror film though. |

I'm not a huge fan of rap. I feel like a lot of its appeal is in the lyrics and how visceral they can be, but it's just not something I can pretend to relate to. |

Free Style Jazz, Country and Western, Blue Grass Style Soul.
Alot of old people's music like The Beetles, Blue Oyster Cult, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan etc... it's OK but I think it's heavily overrated. |

I absolutely love pretty much all music and love that they’re’s so many different genres you can listen too depending on your mood.
I would never judge anyone for listening to something I’m not keen on as we all have different tastes.
The one thing I really struggle with is Jazz especially heavy Jazz and Death Metal! Death Metal is just crazy and not sure how anyone can listen to it but fair play to those that do. |

There are many aspects of Country that irritate me, and lots of dance/rap is decidedly unmusical... but there are always bits from any genre that are great, so I can't write off any type off music.

People give country a hard time.
I think Trad or the old school stuff gets a beating and maybe fair enough. Still amazing songs like Jolene
I like the modern contemporary country and it’s pretty varied and has some original stuff. |

"All that shite r and b ballix. Also women singers like sade and Whitney. Fucking shite. "
Whitney had one of the most expressive and powerful voices ever.
I can only think of Aretha Franklin that would be in a similar league.
Way way above Beyonce/Christina/Maria Carey etc |

Love the modern/alternative country music stuff that's coming out at the moment. Love a bit of Zach Bryan.
Can't beat a bit of traditional Country either like Kenny Rogers and Dolly! |

Steve Reich is amazing.
I’ve seen his music performed twice - both times everyone around me seemed in a trance from the music  .
I’m with you on jazz, but accept loads hate it. Bad jazz is really bad, but there’s lots of utterly amazing stuff. Not mad, not a cacophony just beautiful, and/or funky as f**k.
I think the problem with all genres is that it’s the bad stuff that people usually get to hear. They then associate the genre with that.
Nost of the well-known hip-hop sounds terrible I think, but there’s amazing acts like The Roots who people barely know - amazing lyricists, producers etc.

Agreed, I'm sure most think of improvisational jazz.
But not old standards by Sinatra or Ella Fitzgerald |

But even that, or Glenn Miller big band style is what people inevitably think & go to.
I'm thinking things like Mario Biondi - This is what you are
Or
Gregory Porter - Liquid Spirit
Or the Kyoto Jazz Mazzive's take on - Love is Everywhere.
Or Izo Fitzroy (newish female Londoner) - Chasing Days
Or Alice Coltrane - Journey into Satchinandana
Or Herbie Hancock - Saturday night
(What a tune!)
Or Donald Byrd - Change
Or Terry Callier - Dancing Girl
None of which youd expect to hear really in your stereotypical Jazz cellar bar

Dire straits- Arrogant prick
Country
Gangsta rap
Some Jazz - don’t get it
80s soul - predictable and boring
However I do understand we all have different taste and do not like the same things.
What floats one boat may not float another that’s what makes life interesting. |

There's a musician from London called Richard spaven (drummer). His music gets classed as jazz, but it touches lots of styles I think.

Zach Bryan has a few bangers. For me it’s Lainey Wilson although a lot of good stuff in the Hot Country and other playlists just now |

The issue I have with a lot of country is the "bending" of sung notes. The way that many singers start a line sing8ng the first note flat and slide up to the right note.... it really annoys me.

I’d say rap, but I like sone artists - Eminem for example.
Even jazz ^above I can get into if I like it.
I’ve never actively targeted a genre to to dislike. Because if I’m tapping my feet, it kind of works for me. I’m a pop music fan for that particular reason. But I would say rap is the one genre I find it very hard to find somebody I like. Whereas all the others I can find many artists can produce music that I would be in to. |

I like lots of different genres, although Metal is the clear leader. So I can find something I’ll love/hate in each of them.
There’s not much that stirs me in Jazz though, and Happy Hardcore doesn’t really do anything for me. |

"Jazz"
I think it's hard to dislike jazz completely, it's such a huge genre. Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simmone, Billie Holiday, Peggy Lee, Ray Charles, Louis Armstrong, Bing Crosby, Micheal Búbblè, etc... are all Jazz Singers.
I'm not a fan of a lot of the more "free form" Jazz, but there's a huge amount of great music too.

I think there's a perception of jazz that it can be structureless, or abstract. (I don't particularly like that style either.)
Can I recommend 2 tracks though that you might like as a non jazzer?
1. If you like the sound of mellow piano playing, try "koto song"- by Dave Brubeck quartet .
2. If you're into a more modern sound, try " Spin"- by Richard Spaven |
