"I hate you, and I hate the bands that you like." - Simmons

[wolven7]

Question brought about by seeing [a comment which I misinterpreted as] hatred for one of my favourite bands, from unexpected circles:

What bands do you hate, and why?

Comments

[not-hothead-yet.livejournal.com]

REO Speedwagon
Air Supply
Huey Lewis and the News

they must all die

But... But... It's Hip to be square....

[unknownbinaries.livejournal.com]

Who hates whom?

50 Cent. He glorifies everything I can't stand in society, and is terribly arrogant about it while not being anything spectacular or creative.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

I misinterpreted something I read. Not actually an issue.

And completely agreed about "Fitty."

[primal-sweets.livejournal.com]

Creed

Because Scott (what's his last name?: Shithead sounds right) is so arrogant and is blind to his arrogance. Plus I find the music lame.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

That is extremely poignant and synchronous to the quote used to the subject of this post. :)

[primal-sweets.livejournal.com]

Sweet. *bounces* details?

[wolven.livejournal.com]

If you've never seen the show "Red Vs. Blue," I absolutely and completely recommend it.

wasn't sure what to write,
but mr. primal sweets solved dilemma for me
creed is disgusting

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Agreed.

Will I be crucified if I say Abney Park? The members seem to be really nice, from what little I've spoken to them. I just really dislike their band. =(

[wolven.livejournal.com]

I won't crucify you. I've never actually heard their music, even this weekend. Too much background noise.

What's their music like?

[mastergode.livejournal.com]

Their music is kind of like everyone else's music. There's really nothing to distinguish it from any other goth/industrial music, except that it's about airships and whatnot rather than internal pain.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Ah. Well that's kind of weird. And yeah, I definitely didn't get enough of a listen to hear any lyrics.

[mastergode.livejournal.com]

If you have a free moment, you can check out their MySpace. They have a number of tracks from their new Steampunk stuff on there.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Cool, thanks for the heads up.

[mastergode.livejournal.com]

No problem. Let me know what you think, once you've listened to them.

[ellenore.livejournal.com]

You know my feelings for Cruxshadows.

They seem very nice- I just wish their lyrics did not have music attached.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Gotcha.

[elioraceit.livejournal.com]

phish.

mostly because you can mistake any jam band from that era for phish. and they don't even have original followers. phishhead, yeah it's like deadhead he he i get it, but not and 25 years late, and stupid.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah. Right there with you.

[necrophonic.livejournal.com]

Morrissey - He's a prick and his music is whiny like a 15 year old myspace page
U2 - Because they're pricks and their music all sounds the same (not that it sounds bad, so to speak... I mean, it's not intolerable. Some of it's catchy. Mostly it's just the Bono is a prick, and anyone who goes by the name "Edge" beyond age 9 is a prick)
REM - Same as U2, but with a different guy
Creed - The same. Decent guitarist/drummer, shitty singer
Limp Bizkit - Good guitarist/bassplayer/drummer, shitty singer...

It's hard to hate entire bands. Most of them are just ruined by one douchebag.

Except Sugar Ray. That's a band everyone can hate. I don't like throwing the phrase "sellout" around very much, but... Seriously.

And yeah, fuck 50 Cent/Snoop Dogg/Kid Rock/blah blah everyone that is willing to glorify a degenerative societal archetype.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Actually, I have to respect the way In Which Sugar Ray sold out. Their third album was entitled 14:59.

They knew exactly what they were doing, and threw an ABBA cover in there, for that very purpose...

[plantyhamchuk.livejournal.com]

I don't care enough to hate, but I do deeply dislike being subjected to Queen or Oasis. Both give me headaches.

hooray apathy

[hametsunosaturn.livejournal.com]

Heh, after I posted I realized we had similar answers. At least, in regards to not caring enough to hate a band, essentially.

[hametsunosaturn.livejournal.com]

Well, KMFDM sucks.

We don't like Michael Jackson.
We hate Depeche Mode.
We don't care for Madona.
Or Kylie Minogue!

(ps, we hate all music and especially rap)


And while we're at it, Green Jello sucks.

Oh! And hang the blessed dj... 'cause the music that he constantly plays, says nothing to me about my life.


Real answer: I'm not certain that I actually hate any particular band. I may really hate a song they do... like that one Blink song with "voice inside My-yead" and other ridiculousness. But when it comes to a whole band, I'm more likely to just not care about / generally dislike them, rather than actively hate them.

[sadistic-apollo.livejournal.com]

Ace of Bass
Limp Bizkut (whatever) (but only because of fred durst)

[halafax.livejournal.com]

Creed: because they really make goth music sound happy. ...

Most rap, because it just glorifies all that is bad in this world.

Im sure there are others...but I avoid listening to them...

[thenowhere.livejournal.com]

No Doubt and/or anything involving Gwen Stefani. Bleah. The *instant* that 'WOOhoo, WOOOHOOO' idiot song comes on, or 'Ah'm jest a GURRRRL---whoooooooaaaaaaa' or 'SORREH AH'M NAT HOMRATNAOAH'MWALKININNASPAHDDAWEB' VOICEWOBBLING BULLSHIT AAAAAAAGHAAREHKHSKGJShkshgkjhgekrhgerkjgher

...sorry. I just... bleah.

Anyone who does rap music glorifying the 'thug' life. I find that I love rap. Love the beat, love the way the words fit together, love the structure of it and the way that it really moves and is almost intoxicatingly rhythmic, provided the word aren't trite. But when it's all 'fuck da hoes, shoot da cops, steal da moneyz, hang wit mah niggaz' I so bored I forget I should be outraged at the racist, ignorant, misogynistic idiocy.

The Goddamned Motherfucking Beach Boys. AUGH. "In My Room" is the song that will be playing the day my brain snaps, and I build a machine of blackness and hate, and lash it together with the solidified wailing of tortured souls. That day, I puncture the veil that separates this Now from the Before Now, and I will step BACK in time, and MESSILY DEVOUR THE WOMBS OF EACH OF THEIR MOTHERS, BEFORE ANY OF THEM WERE CONCEIVED.

Uh. I also hate EVERY SINGLE 'indie' band with retarded names like 'cat under a garage door' that IS SO SOOPER KEWL because they haven't sold out and they really FEEL THE MUSIC, MAN because SHUT UP, YOU ARROGANT FUCKHEADS. You only WISH you were so successful.

Hah.

Yeah. Okay, then.

I either need more, or less RedBull, and I'm not sure which.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Many Many More :)

Go look up Goldie Lookin' Chain. Bunch of hilarious Welsh fuckers making fun of everything they possibly can in rap, and the music industry, including themselves.

Wayell, sheeeyit. I'm tired of sappy love (and love lost) songs. Celine Dion is coming to mind.
