METAL! \m/
I dislike country, but pretty much anything else I am able to enjoy.METAL! \m/
You do know this is about what your LEAST favorite genre is, right? It's just you seemed enthused about your choice so I wasn't sure.
yeahh i noticed that after xD i love metal. I cant stand country and the disney bull shit. Also that "hard core" shit.

I love it too, but I also like the hardcore stuff.
Also, some more stuff I don't really like too much: anime music that's like in all Japanese, classical (like Bach and whatnot), opera, sometimes I won't like oldies or classic rock, but I can enjoy it sometimes too; it really just depends..
As a biracial individual, black/white, I cannot express in words how much I despise/detest/loathe/hate the racial stereotypes that most rap glorifies and perpetuates. For me, this one is personal.
I'd rather listen to Rebecca Black's Friday a thousand times than hear even a second of Crap. >:(

I could not agree more with the first part. "hood life" is way too glorified. I do enjoy some of it though the ones with meaning and not the typical women,cars,money,gangster kinda stuff.
2nd part id rather play russian roulette with 6 bullets i am sorry.
ok no offense to anyone who likes rap, but srsly rap has to be the worst music i have ever heard.

why so hating on the rap? I agree with Miltonius on this. There are different styles to every genre. I like and dislike bands from every genre of music. Like I do love rap, but only some, other artists I cant stand. I love rock. But I cant stand stuff like newton faulkner and nickelback. Some metal I like, but I've never really gotten into it etc.
you don't have "smooth jazz" up there. the closest is jazz obviously, but i base my life on jazz music.
oh, and i picked country cause i think if "folk" was up there, all the american people here would choose it.
i'm also slightly disappointed in the hatred of rap there is here. there needs to be some good rap played on the radio from time to time, then maybe some people might actually think it's decent, because it is. it's a fantastic style of music
Now for some math:
Cupcakes by Sergeant Sprinkles + the sharks from Deep Blue Sea + a sack of manure + family guy= rap.
Thus, rap is scary. And it stinks. And it's insulting.
Obviously not all rappers are white, but rap still comes off as a very "black" thing. There have been white rappers since the beginning, when people were rapping over the instrumental breaks in party records, and words have been set to rhythm for much, much longer. Eminem got popular by being good at rapping, and by filling a niche, though he has outlived the novelty of "white rapper". Rapping shouldn't be about race, though. It should be about conveying your ideas through words and rhythm. It has as much variety as rock or electronica, or any other genres. But like other genres, it's easy to get lost in the top layer, the ones that are easily seen on TV and on the radio, and never look beneath. Not everyone WANTS to look beneath, it's fine being comfortable with what you like. I like looking beyond that, finding layers, interesting new tidbits to enjoy, things that aren't always completely palatable at first.
I feel it was necessary to discuss/defend something I enjoy quite a bit. I'd also defend any other genre, possibly just as much, even if I don't actively listen to it (like modern country, R&B, dance pop). While you may dislike rap quite a bit, you're at least trying to say so intelligently, rather than in non sequitur equations. What you said didn't come off as "I don't like rap and don't have any logical reasons for coming to that conclusion, so I'll try to be cute and silly. *raspberry*" I'm not trying to make people LIKE any kind of rap, just sticking up for it amongst a flood of "Yeah, I hate rap, more Muse/Linkin Park!"
I'm also not questioning your having black friends, or saying that all black people have to love rap. I just like to think outside of race when it comes to personal taste. Someone who says they love all rock/metal could enjoy Metallica AND Living Colour (though Metallica would easily come out ahead in popularity), but they also might be surprised to know the guys behind "Cult of Personality" are all black.
-insert his statement here-Well, I had hoped you weren't saying that; I am glad it came to be the truth. And your philosophy is rather admirable in regards to how you discover what you are interested in. Indeed music should not be about race, as it is free to the world. I agree on the looking beneath as well; hence why I find myself liking Techno and Rock, there's a lot on the bottom and middle layers, as well as the top. But again, merely opinion.
So it should be it's own art form instead of being considered music.I have uttered the exact same words before. Look at where music started; classical music with instruments. Pure vocals is like everyday speech or a poetry recital, just sped up and/or "bassified."
Some heavy metal (not all of it) is also this way: I have to wonder what the point of "singing" (screaming?) is when no-one has any idea what you're saying.Hence why I'm not a huge death metal fan. I stick with Rock music I can understand. Disturbed, KoRn, Amorphis, Symphony X, etc.; at least one can understand the majority of their lyrics.
I also dislike pop not because it's "bad" but because they use the same beats, almost the same lyrics, over and over. And the stations play these songs over and over so you get tired of them quickly.
I can't stand rap because, the majority of the time, they speak so fast I have no idea what they're saying, and they say the same stupid line over and over. Admittedly, some rappers are real poets and their songs have interesting lyrics. But then they ruin those lyrics by getting up on stage and rapping so fast no one is able to take the time to understand. Rap may feature good poets who write good songs, but these poets' musical execution of their songs is terrible. Most can't sing, and most of them can't play instruments. So it isn't really music. It's people writing poems then speaking them into a mic as quickly as possible with a little pre-generated, overused background music. So it should be it's own art form instead of being considered music.

As for what I like, I like hard rock, rock, metal, classic rock, alt. rock, country, lounge, jazz, new age, world, funk, and techno. (some of these styles also doesn't feature people who can actually sing but I like the generated beats).
Not going to counter-argument everything that you posted, so I'll give an example. Kurt Cobain. You can't tell me that you'd understand every single word of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" the first time you heard it. I also bet there's a lot of people who wouldn't understand the differences between the phrases "a mulatto" "my denial" and "an albino", and Kurt says those over and over again.
I think there's just such an overwhelmingly negative attitude toward most rap (especially among people who claim to listen to "understandable" music) that people really don't try to understand the lyrics. Not everything is going to be spoon-fed to you slowly and legibly, sometimes you have to listen a few times, or even look up lyrics online.
Everyone who declares rap "not music" doesn't really understand how broad the term "music" is. Your opinion is one thing, but enough of you agreeing about the same thing doesn't change reality.
Also, I find bands like Korn and Disturbed to be overly, pointlessly angsty, and get tired of hearing "oh, I really like them because I had a dark point in my life where I really related to them". That's like saying "I was hungry for pizza, and I found a restaurant that sells pizza, now it's my favorite restaurant".
You don't seem to be taking it well when someone states their opinion of dislike on Rap music. You're really getting quite defensive, and a little rude, over nothing.
Also, I DID understand all of Smells Like Teen Spirit the first time I heard it.
I listen songs to get into them, not to figure them out. A song is not meant to be a puzzle, it's meant to sound good in your ears and put the words of what the artist is saying into your head. I can understand listening to a song a few times to get its meaning, but I can't understand having to google the lyrics for every song I listen to because it went by too fast. Sounds annoying.
I am VERY glad that you also dislike Family Guy. It's insulting to so many things. But I'm sorry if I insulted you by saying that. I'm not that fond of rap, and I just realized that associating Family Guy with it was very wrong. I'm very sorry.Now for some math:
Cupcakes by Sergeant Sprinkles + the sharks from Deep Blue Sea + a sack of manure + family guy= rap.
Thus, rap is scary. And it stinks. And it's insulting.
Associate Family Guy with something I enjoy, and you've made an enemy of me, good sir.
And I hate throwing wood onto the argu-fire, but everything post-"Thus" comes off as "I'm intimidated by black people and things I don't understand".
(And the same three things could be said about furries. ZING.)
Also, Busdriver. Awesome technical rapper with superior wordcrafting skills and a sense of humor:

Rap/Hip Hop, It's just simply overrated, overhyped, and is nowhere as good as metal.
-.-

I'm rather fond of 80s music myself, and I don't understand why many people around my age don't like it that much.
@Cifero Windtail,
I agree that Family Guy is a bad comedy show, way to many racist jokes, extremely unsettling sex jokes, or just flat stupid jokes. Alot of people don't like family guy. :|
At this time I only be listening to pirate tunes. And good songs they arr!

Creepy music with naked Japanese men dancing.
Warning, might be disturbing to some viewers.
I can stand literally anything but metal. Try me. :P

I'm curious where the line is drawn between metal and anything else. The speed, types of vocals, relative "heaviness", the tone of the guitars? Have you ever accidentally disliked hard rock or hardcore punk, thinking it was metal?
