My Least Favourite

HEAVY/ DEATH METAL SCREAMO!!! It's not that I don't respect the fact people are able to and have the talent to make that kind of music it's just that I can't stand it..Mainly for the reason that I can't relate to it and it's too loud, blunt, scary, all over the place, and frankly it just doesn't sound good to my ears. As for bands that sound like that, well obviously I'm not gonna listen to any bands that sound like that if I don't like their music, but the one prime example that scares the crap out of me is Otep. When I was shown this band and their music it was the most repulsive thing I had ever heard. I have not heard all of their music so at the moment I am only assuming that they scream through all their songs. Basically the day I'm listening to Otep without holding my ears is the day I'm DEAD! Anyway..moving on, there isn't really any other genre of music that I absolutely hate, only songs by bands that I hate or dislike muchly. As such an example, I definitely don't hate all the music made by Lindsey Lohan, I mainly just hate her. Some of her music sounds pretty good. I would definitely listen to more of her music if I was not watching her sing or if I was completely oblivious to the fact that she was singing, it was her song or that she even existed. But I should probably stop picking on poor Lindsey and focus my attention towards other musical things that I hate. I'd rather not listen to pure techno music, it's not that I wouldn't listen to it, it's just that i'd rather not. To me It is WAY too repetitive. Now I'm not saying I hate repetitiveness, i'm just saying too much can be a bad thing(for me). And that goes for screamo music, It's not that I hate all screamo music, I don't mind a bit of screaming every once and a while, but like techno, too much can be a bad thing(for me). When it comes to country music, like the others, I don't absolutly hate it, it's just that most country music songs sound too much alike. When it comes to rap music, I only hate the message most rap songs present, which is stuff that I don't agree and can't relate with. To say that I don't use some of the music that I hate in my daily life would be a lie, because in some particular cases I do tend to use this music in diffrent ways. Take screamo, I use this music when i'm feeling angry to a point of almost releasing that anger physically. When It comes to listening to country, depending on the song, can be used in various ways. examples of this is I may listen to Brad Paisleys "Whiskey Lullaby" when i'm sad, or take Reba McEntires "I'm A Survivor" I may listen to that song if i'm feeling like I need an ego boost. I may also use techno when i'm feeling like I need to dance or use a bunch of energy. That is basically all I hate about music genres, bands, and how I use those hated things in my day.

OK - first I'll recommend you listen to some Akufen or DJ shadow. Don't judge the techno world by DDR.

Good writing here - sorry to head Otep scares you....but you do good to explain why you don't like things without being TOO condescending. (I dislike this b/c I just don't like screaming, not screaming is stupid). Good diplomatic writing.

Try to structure further blogs in such a way that there are paragraphs and structure. I don't know why, but this one was particularly hard to read - it came off being rant-ish.
