I won't be able to bash on a specific genre, because I like so many types of music. I'd have to say I don't like music where the artist is basically just talking. It seems like they aren't showing us what they are really capable of. I feel like they are being lazy, not giving the actual effort to sing. It doesn't feel like a real song. I can't think of this rapper's name off hand, but in his video, all he does is walk around, doing random things, mumbling something I can't even hear. The description I just gave could probably cover a handful of artists, lol. I find it hard to listen or watch music like this. One group that came to my mind when I started typing this was Scissor Sisters. I think they are very weird. I just don't like they sound of the vocals, it's bugging the heck out of me right now! The song "I Don't Feel Like Dancing" is stuck in my head and I'm going crazy! It's pretty bad, because my mom likes them, so whenever they came on the radio, SOMEBODY would turn it up. It was very annoying! And speaking of annoying, there are the billions of girls/girl groups that keep popping up like weeds. I like some of them, but many of them sound the same, sing about the same stuff, and look the same. Hmm, can anyone say cookie cutter?
You think you're listening to one group, but it turns out it was a new group that was just formed the day before! One example I could use would be Girlicious. They were formed from yet another TV show. I haven't heard any of their songs except one, and that's enough for me. I'm perfectly okay with the fact that I can't "get down on the floor" like you can. Those kind of lyrics just don't appeal to me. The last thing I don't really enjoy is the stuff like Crazy Frog. It's decent when you first hear it, but too many times and I'll be going crazy again! That's my least favourite music. I try to use this music as little as I possibly can. It's never my choice to listen to it. That's when your handy-dandy iPod (or other portable music listening device) comes to the rescue!

Good comments here Caitlin. Some people just really like the Scissor Sisters - must be the Sir Elton vibe they so successfully create!
Glad to see you not bashing on a genre, but rather a lack of creativity or musicality. Goes to show that you appreciate quality no matter where it appears!
Well done.

I definitely see what you mean. That's one of the reasons I'm not really into rap. They seem to have two types of video, half naked girls or just walking around.
I agree that it gets annoying when artist start using the same idea over and over. The thing about music is that you are suppost to be creative, but it just seems like they get lazy and recycle the same idea from someone elses song. That is something I personally try to stay away from when I am writing.
I do find it hard to listen to groups like Girlious and the Pussy Cat Dolls. They all sound the same and alway sing about "getting down on the floor" like you said. It does get annoying after a while.
