I do not have good music taste. My favorite genres are pop, musical theatre, and novelty comedy songs. My brain has been permanently fried from listening to You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, for my entire time on this earth. Even though I have no right to judge music, I still take the opportunity to judge other people's musical tastes. Don't ask me how that works! I hate when people say they like all genres "except rap and country." I know there's a possibility that that's their genuine opinion, but I'm not buying it. It sounds like the ultimate "pick me" opinion. Like yeah right, you hate the two genres of music that are the most popular to make fun of? I'm calling bull on that. I only listen to the most base stuff out there, and even I don't hate rap and country. Redditors came together to discuss their least favorite genre of music, and the answers are more unique than you'd expect.

    Font - Flimsy_Tooth_4443 1d Industry plants are rampant in the music industry in general. There's not very many nothing-to-something musicians who don't have relatives who gave them a leg up, or who didn't come from some sort of wealth that allowed them to foster their talent. Poor kids don't get to play guitar. 43k

    Font - mythrilcrafter. 1d Which is often really funny to me when they sing about that in a music video featuring multi- million dollars worth of tractors, combine harvesters, Monsanto licensed crops, and other things that no regular wage/salary earning person that the music is meant to appeal to could ever afford for themselves. 891
