    Hip Hop and Rap. Worst noise ever. Just a bunch of noise with swearing and a lot of the N word.

      I'm a very lyrical listener, and I can't stand rap. The lyrics are almost always absolutely horrific, and the "singers" don't even sing.

    I was so happy when grunge took over in the early 90s, and blew hair metal out of the water!

      Now that makes me want to listen to Pearl Jam.

        Eddie Vedder has quite a set of pipes on him!

        May Go bless Eddie Vedder, and keep with us for a very long time to come! The way I see it another forty, or fifty years would be nice.

    • Yeah. Then after grunge, somewhere after 1994, it went to shit again.

    I think that both are fine. But hair metal is probably worse because I feel the focus is too much on being edgy and loud and the songs are so cheesy.

    By hair metal did you mean glam metal?

      Glam is basically lighter sounding hair metal. Both are pretty darn cheesy but often quite enjoyable me thinks.

    Hair metal as it is boring and indecipherable.

    I enjoyed both of those genres. The Rebecca Black style bubblegum pop genre should have died a death much sooner than it did though.

    It's kinda hard for me to decide, I was raised on both. My dad collected cassette tapes from either of the genres, and I discovered interesting songs from both... In general I'm not biased against any.

    Neither bothers me too much. 2000's butt rock (Nickelback, Creed, Three Doors Down, etc.), on the other hand, is much worse if you ask me. Also, Five Finger Death Punch (or at least what little I heard of it before I turned the shit off) is basically a slightly edgier reinvented version of that and what I like to call butt metal, and also sucks.

    As for the worst? It's between butt rock, mumble rap, and country hip hop for me.

      "...country hip hop..." Defiling innocuous music genres is on the rise lately.

    I dislike metal and rock in general, so any subgenres automatically get my vote.

      When I was in college I enjoyed listening to a wide range of rock music subgenres. Lately I'm more inclined to indie and folk. With the exception of a few bands and songs, Metal has always been a little too much for me to stand.

    I have no problem with either of these... Glam metal is kinda cool... cheesy, but cool.
    I also like some disco. Perfect music to blare out of a restored car from the 1980s on a warm summer day.

    The worst music trend has got to be mumble rap, or just generic modern pop music.

    Most music from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s was more than ok. Some music from the 2000s was ok, but 2010 and up... it's all garbage.
    On very rare occasions, you get a good song, but in general - it's all talentless and lame garbage.
