Rap and especially 50 cent style is by far the worst.

It's actualy hard to say...
I must admit that some 'gangsta rap' people have some cool grooves... its not a hit but don't rule it out until youve heard the good stuff! what you hear on the radio isn't real rap.
 
Techno is cool too, theres some really cool sh*t... People do amazing things in techno, it's also a genre that's image is destroyed by it's commercial sides... Yes, the comercial stuff is sometimes sh*tty but........ There's some good techno out there!
 
Punk - well... I hate The Ramones, The Clash, The Sex Pistols... I just hate it... it's annoying music... it sucks... but some people define bands like "talking heads" as punk... so just for that I have to say that I don't hate it more than any musical genre... 
 
Pop-Punk and Emo stuff like Geenday and thost chemical people suck too but they ussualy record their music on multi million dollar gear, and they have great sound people, and great mixing people that make them sound really rockin' and stuff...
 
So I have to admit pop like american Idol is my least favorite genre of all....

Rap (50 Cent style) definitely. It's infuriating to see this crap all the time/everywhere, especially since there's actually some good Hip Hop out there, it's just not the stuff you see on the charts.

Just recently I found a contender for the worst song ever: MIMS'  "This Is Why I'm Hot", check out the eloquent lyrics:

This is why I'm Hot [2x]
This is why
[2x] Uh
This is why I'm Hot (Uh)
This is why I'm Hot
[2x] Whoo
This is why
[2x]
This is why I'm Hot


I'm hot cause I'm fly (fly)
You ain't cause you're not (Mims)
This is why
[2x]
This is why I'm hot
[2x]

And sorry, I recognize that Slipknot is not "Death" Metal.

Why isn't Symphonic Power Metal included in the poll by the way?

Yeah, I would choose that...
..but:
pop/punk of course

techno, rap, emo, modern - they'll go sometimes. Death metal is quite boring but nt so bad, or modern rock but i'm not sure what...

pop is quite weird thing, too...

but mostly I hate those glam pop punk rock who try to be modern and retro and popular

OK, I'm going to have to be normal this time (for a change) and pick the one thats most popular right now - rap.

i mean, don't get me wrong, real rap isn't too bad. But the over-commerciallised crap that "rappers" like 50cent, g-unit, snoop dawg and all the rest of these wannabe's is just pure, plain, utter crap. and you can't make crap without the rap, so i'ma tap this post n take a nap...

but yeah, i can handle the rest of that stuff, sometimes. but pop-style-rap... ... ...   Thumbs%20Down

I don't like any of those genres, but the only genre I hate (as opposed to dislike) is rap. By the way, Slipknot is not death metal. It's nu metal crap. I actually like real death metal, at least the more melodic stuff. And I wouldn't say Weezer is a very good representation of modern rock. They're more power pop.

When Porcupine dream and another day unite, we shall awake to find the pain of salvation is but a grand illusion, which will render us comfortably numb and make us remember these scenes from a memory.

I am with most in my dislike for most of the genres listed.  My vote was for rap.  But my least favorite genre is Country.  I actually liked some of the original early rap like Run D-M-C and Tone Loc.  I suppose enough over exposure and the beat sometimes works its way into the brain.  That and I think I might have heard that riff/beat somewhere else before..

Rap...50 Cent style.

There is good rap however, that comments on political/social issues and on black stereotypes. But 50 Cent only fuels those stereotypes and spews garbage.

I'm voting for Emo. I was invited to a band that I thought had nice potential and i was slightly misled that it was gonna be some great classical-oriented rock with emphasis on keyboards.

No, band is a disaster in terms of enthusiasm and the guy who has the least talent is all pretending to be leader and wants us to sound like emo and pop/punk . That alone, made me send instantly a "goodbye" message.

I can't stand emo, it's just awful.

2nd worst place goes to american idol pop, it's so generic and so far from art, it's ridiculous.

I like some rap when they have those extremely lyrics with social content (well, I really like just the lyrics) but the 50 Cent style is something that I can't really take!

You know, every freaking day, my roommate plays some rap/r'n'b whatever really loud, so that I can hear the bass boom through the walls. Anyway, when I open the door, it's always something like "yeah, baby" "you so sweet" "shake dat azz baby" and it really makes you wonder, don't they really have anything else than ass-shaking in their lifes?
