Ban One Music Genre, Go On You Know You Want To.

[garbon]

The thing about Death Metal and a lot of other genres is that they are pretty easy to avoid if you don't like them.  OTOH, stuff like modern country music (which gets lots of crossover hits), urban-contemporary, mainstream rock, and MOR pop are hard to avoid--you hear them everywhere, so if you don't care for them, you still get subjected to them.

I generally don't have that problem (or maybe its that I don't really have any issues with those genres so they just fade into the background for me).

I wasn't saying that I have issues with those specific genre (with modern country, yes, but certainly not with mainstream rock) but rather that for those that do have issues with them, they're relatively hard to avoid.

Dubstep. 

[PRC]

Death metal.

Please elaborate.

It was mentioned that there are a lot of subgenres in "death metal" so maybe I should break that down further.  I've never heard the term "growl metal" before but that seems like a fitting term and it should be banned because it's shit.

Prog.

Dubstep's great in an appropriate context.

I assume by "in an appropriate context," you mean "while tripping balls."  Oddly, that context also works for prog.

The only appropriate context for dubstep is hell.

Some degree of alteration helps. What matters is being in Bristol a few years back dancing in front of an enormous speaker, it's awesome. I agree it doesn't belong on car adverts.

Hip hop.

Racist! After all hip hop is really just the name for pop songs sung by black people these days.

Growl metal is pretty good name for it.  Music where it sounds like the singer has attempted to swallow the microphone.

I thought hiphop meant rap.

Prog?
But...but...a lot of it is great. And you never really encounter it unless you look for it.
