the thread of hate

(inspired by another thread)

We all love music, we all have our favorite sounds and tracks and often create threads with lists of good things inside. this thread is not one of them. some things we just can’t love and we have to hate them because they’re shit. every one of us hates some things. we need to let off some steam so here we go: the thread of things in electronic music that should be shot to the moon and left there to rot. here’s my list of things that completely kill any EDM track I might otherwise love:

  1. White noise sweeps. sounds like “I have NO idea what else to do in this break.” signed, the artist. pffff, psssshhhh, ssssssssssss, swooooshhh, boring. no thanks.

  2. stupid vocals. there are two variants and both share one thing: the lyrics suck big time (“feel the beat”, “freeeedoooom”, “oh-yeahyeahyeah”, “hand+air” blah blah). variant one: deep distorted male voice. it’s not going to make it sound more meaningful when you say “techno killer” in a techno song. variant 2: aguilera-style female voices. mostly singing: “yeah” or “oooooh”. no thanks

  3. echos. i like echos and delays to be honest, but since the creation of deep house everything seems to be flooded with them. no, i don’t always want to feel like floating in deep deep space and it starts to get boring after 2 minutes. no thanks.

so, that was my top three. maybe you love the things i hate and hate other things.

post them here.

Speedcore.

Rewinds. I hope needles break on the slight attempt.

Also OP #2 about stupid yeahs, feel the beats and shit like that.

  1. Airhorn
  2. Stupid repeated vocals. Once for effect is cool
  3. Too many breaks…
  4. The over used lead from Pon De Floor.

The little clinky sound that hid in the off-beat of minimal techno circa 2004.
You ended up stumbling around fabric for hours trying to get away from it.
You couldn’t.

Basslines made with Modern Talking in Massive. I find the sound abrasive, annoying, and I don’t mind some brostep every once in a while but the sound is just unpleasant.

I hate when people put shit like this at the end of their posts. If it were at the beginning, at least I know right off the bat the person doesn’t really know what they are talking about.

You won’t listen to some happy hardcore, though. :3

12

Some people on this forum who take themselves and DJing far too seriously!

Trance

I started typing some suff but realized it was basically just describing genres I don’t like in general so… Diff strokes nawmean

I feel you’re generalizing a lot. There are certain times that I can’t stand certain things which I would normally have no problem with. For example wobble basslines. Some times i’ll be in the mood for that, but after a long day at school, it’s like “Turn that shit off!”, and I can only listen to good progressive tracks.

your face

17

of course i’m generalizing a lot! that’s the fun in this thread.

and @sobi: take it easy man. maybe it was trance, maybe you know better. i don’t care and echos still stink.

18

it is and always was a source of offense and dismay. this is intended.
