Stuff that you "should" like, but just cannot stand

Forum: Music

What's a band (or some bands) that everyone assumes that you like (or that you algorithmic-ally "should" like) based on all your other tastes in music but that you don't actually like AT ALL?

Some of mine:
Neutral Milk Hotel
M. Ward
Sonic Youth
James Taylor
The Black Keys
Billie Eilish
Tori Amos
Lady Gaga
Radiohead
Father John Misty
Hozier
Florence and the Machine
My Chemical Romance

(and not because of "bad memories" or any other emotional reason, but just because the music holds zero appeal for you on any level)

Slipknot. Pretty much every friend I've made thru liking similar music loves them and I just don't feel it lmao. They're not bad, but apart from couple songs they just don't make me feel anything either.

Afi. Everyone else i know likes or loves afi and ive tried so many times to get into them but I literally cannot stand their music. The only song i can kind of tolerate is greater than 84 but even then I usually skip it xD

emo rap and most pop-punk. like no, if you play xxxtentacion or juice wrld for me i'd spontaneously combust. and as for pop-punk, well, machine gun kelly blink-182 avril lavigne and the all-american rejects are shit. the point of punk is to be controversial, harsh, and overtly political. most pop-punk is just angsty pop with maybe one guitar riff. like no punk is angry and noisy and fast and about real issues. green day is awesome but that's basically it. 

also mcr is more of a screamo-type band. sounds a lot more like real punk/noise than pop, except for a couple songs.

nu-metal, or anything of that sort. it's not that it's too aggressive or loud, im just not a massive fan of it as a genre.

MCR is fine, but people assume I love them when I REALLY REALLY DONT.

Most newer metal

I love Falling In Reverse's debut album but I hate everything else they made

New Found Glory

All Time Low (EXCEPT for Dear Maria)

The beatles, gorillaz, mcr (n emo music in general) n new trendy music on tiktok or whatever.

I'm a huge rock fan n I would rlly like to get into these bands, I feel like a poser saying that. I've tried listening to them but they just don't attract me. My preferences r quite unusual

I CANNOT STAND Throbbing Gristle.  I love industrial music, so I expected to love the creators of industrial too.  But this band is severely lacking in musicianship, songwriting, lyricism, and singing imo.  I've gotta give them some credit though since they're the reason for all of my favorite bands.

Mitksi and Taylor Swift
Just doesn't appeal to me and while Taylor Swift has like 3 songs I can listen to Mitski has none that I enjoy. 

Everyone always talks about how good of an artist Mitski is so it often seems like I'm wrong lmao. 

Also Lana Del Rey. Just don't get the hype

phoebe bridgers, alice in chains, NIRVANA!!!!!

i love mitski and some lana so i thought i'd love phoebe bridgers but...she's so boring, and boygenius is only marginally better; "without you without them" brings me to tears but everything else is awful

alice in chains and nirvana...i can't think of a single alice in chains song i like, which i think is kinda weird because i love nine inch nails. same for nirvana, but i feel like this one is worse because everyone LOVES them. i can only really stand something in the way if i'm really in the mood, and i'm just.. not. ever.

Taylor swift. I know, this could be controversial but she's just far too overrated, same thing goes to Melanie Martinez, too. No hate towards the artists themselves, they do have okay songs but they're just too overrated

TX2 and Caroline Carr. I've never been a huge fan of their gimmicks. People have asked me if I listen to them bc of how I dress, but to be honest their stuff just doesn't seem genuine.

all those indie thingies like neutral milk hotel and black country new road. everyones always raving about them. maybe its because i dont seek out music thats sonically perfect or a masterpiece music theory wise. because thats always how people talk about it. idk.

Thrash metal. Used to be into it, but only very briefly. Even then, it was just Metallica. But Suicidal Tendencies and S.O.D. Storm Troopers of Death I do like.

I've tried so hard to like 3OH!3, but I really can't get into them and I only like PUNKBITCH and STARSTRUKK by them. I'm not a huge fan of the rest of their music
