Which one woud you banish from this world?

country

I was gonna say, probably Country. But if that includes Johnny Cash, then I might not do that.

I don't know. Even shit genres have at least ONE good artist.

I agree with that

Country never used to be a shit genre, it's only become that in the past couple decades.

There really aren't any genres that are 100% awful.

Trance and all it's subgenres.

Whiny alternative bands.

Techno

Hip Hop.

I'd not get rid of any.... As I like some tracks from every genre I can think of.

If I had to get rid of one, it may be Hip Hop... Not because I have anything against the music... but the gang culture that has developed with it is a bit gay. I may be inclined to say Emo as well, simply because of all the twats that like it. The music itself isn't that bad.

Country isn't popular at all in my country so I'm fine with that.

Hip Hop. It would definitely be the most interesting one to get rid of. What would all the black guys do? Will they all go to regae? Or would we see a lot more black rockers? Could be interesting.

All that type of club music that appears on albums like Ministry of Sound, Ibiza club type music. Urgh.

EVerything else can stay, I'm so kind.

Rap.

What would a person gain from doing this?

I wouldn't get rid of any of them. there needs to be a balance.

and those saying Hip Hop haven't heard REAL hip hop to begin with...simply an assumption but im guessing im right.

^ truth

I said hip hop but I have indeed heard real hip hop.... My reasoning didn't have anything to do with the music though, not directly anyway.

Emo

Country.

Why does everyone hate country?

Because they think country is that shitty kind of Pop / Country that's out now. No respect for the classics.

Rap. Rap is the genre with all the gang troubles, not Hip-Hop

I group rap and hip-hop together

Fugazi made great music, as did Jawbreaker.

Yes, I'd get rid of the music because of the fans..... srug

Fun?

Anyways, I'd probably get rid of Rock....why I do not know.

Rap isn't a genre, it's an action. That's like calling rock, sing. You wouldn't do it, because it's dumb.

Also, hip hop doesn't have gang trouble, hip hop is just liked -- apparantly -- by people who are in gangs. There are biker gangs that listen to rock music.

I take it you from your age you mean the commercial rubbish that kids today listen to and not the works of Derrek May,Carl Craig,Cybertron,Reese etc which originated in Detroit in 1984 then and are regarded by music critics as some of the most influential artists of all time.

Mainstream Hip Hop N RnB and those that listen to it should be banished......................................FOR EVER!

i totally agree with you. i hate that kinda music and what keeps annoying me is that if you turn on a music channel like MTV or channels alike. they always play that sh*t 24/7 with some small interupptions and maybe then u get to hear madonna or somehing! OMG. this doesnt include VH1 they actually play some metal/hardrock around midnight

Death metal

Do you listen to it constantly and not like it?

Hmmm tough choice but now I've thought about it I'd probably get rid of reggae. The most boring musc on earth and if someone can give me 1 good reason why it isn't then I'd like to hear it.

I can give you a pretty good reason: Babylon By Bus.

I don't listen to it constantly or on a regular basis. I've heard it enough in my life time to know I hate it. I have no preconceived notions against the genre; I just honestly hate the way it sounds. It drives me insane everytime I hear it, and reminds me of the overpowering ringing you get in your ears after you fire a shotgun (not too sure if you know what that's like).

I'm all about Rap, Funk, Reggae, Latin and R&B.

The Clash were highly influenced by raggae. I wouldnt get rid of a genre, one because theres always at least on good thing about it, and two, because it always inspires new/better genres that are more fun to listen to.

Probably create another seeing as how black people created/inspired all the good ones.

I'd get rid of that shouty-music. it's rubbish. Also, rap. it isn't even really music.

B]

My sentiments on commercial rap and RnB excactly
RnB is music for girlys
the dudes on those tracks sound real feminine which goes completley against the image they try to throw down...no wonder their "baby" has left them
no wonder the soppy track suit wearing tosspots are always singing sloppy ditties to their ex "babies" who have probably ran off with someone with a bit of balls who aint into sippin chrystal n always goin on how "im going to make lurrrve to ya baby!!!" etc
AND as for that IM IN LOVE WITH A STRIPPER track......
jesus that is the biggest pile of crap ive ever heard
and dont get me started on that RIDIN DIRTY track that every chav fu""wit in town plays on rotation
OR the funniest/worst song of all time
TRAPPED IN THE CLOSET by everyones fave Paedo R KELLY!!!

celebrities singing (paris hilton, ashlee simpson, etc) . not really a genre, but oh man do they need to be wiped off the face of the earth.

Have you tried not listening to it as opposed to ridding the world of a genre that people like?

I'm not just saying this to you, it's a question posed to anyone who believes any genre should be rid of.

-AC

If it stops kids playing their rnb shit on public transport from tinny mobile phone speakers and it stops all the white kids wearing identikit hoodies and trackies AND stops em talking like Westwood or like they are from south central when in fact they are from the UK i think outlawing a genre is fine by me.

Techno

White people created classical music, and folk music, which are pretty much the basis for all modern western music.

Also electronica, without which hip hop would've never been possible.

Not saying any race should be given credit for 'creating genres,' but if you're going to play the race card then there you have it.

I don't listen to that whiney, pop, b*tch-ass R&B, you're talking about, homes. I'm talking calssic R&B like The Temptations, The Delfonics, The Chi-Lites, The Stylistics, Marvin Gaye, Lionel Ritchie and much more. A lot of R&B from the 70's and early 80's have a lot of happy songs.
I also hate all modern rnb that I've heard, but I did happen to stumble upon an album by RZA called "Shaolin Soul" that is a mixed cd of a bunch of old school soul songs that RZA took samples from in his classic Wu era.. some more known artists like Al Green and Sly but also a lot of artists I never heard of before.. The Charmels, Ann Peebles, Gladys Knight & The Pips.. had some really dope songs on there, and this is coming from someone who's never been into R&B or soul. In fact that song "Aint No Mountain High Enough" makes me cringe to be honest...

That's one of Marvin Gaye's best songs!

I like it....am I black now?

I am all in favour of ridding the world of Tim Westwood, for the record.

Reggaeton, pure unadulturated garbage, makes my ears bleed.

I'd get rid of Rap, Hip-hop and RnB, because there are few bands that do these which play their own music, all they do is sing.

I'd also get rid of techno or dance, because there is no skill needed, i could make a "good" techno song on my computer anyday, cause it's easy, no skill involved.

Emo is the best type of music, so i wouldn't even think about getting rid of it

There is some skill needed in Techno music production
It is easy to make a decent Techno/Electro track from scratch on your pc
BUT to make something unique to stand with the big boys is summat else.
EXAMPLE -

My attempts at Electro......they sound like electro tracks but to me there is something missing.


Emo aint that hard to play either ...good Emo though is summat else.

It's garbage, my cousin has four mix Cd's of that crap. It makes my ears bleed.

I ain't gonna argue wit'chu, carnal. Of all the sub-genres of Latin music, reggaeton is some where near the bottom, ey.

And plus, its dance music, so its not the kinda shit that would just sit back and listen to.

Hrm... rid the world of a musical genre, you say? I'd have to go with Avant-Garde Alternative Symphonic Progressive Doom Trip-Hop Countrycore/Dancegrind with a splash of Reggaeton and African Folk. I'd imagine it would sound absolutely unholy.

I'd get rid of Rap and Hip Hop that's not even real music. To me it's just noise...

I haven't really heard much of the classic stuff, but I've heard quite a lot of the newer stuff and it's effing shit.

I would rid the world of trash like Slipknot and Korn. Then I could live in peace without the retarded screaming of insane druggies.

hip hop and rnb

Pop.

As much as I despise rap and hip-hop I can admit they have a beat and the idiots who get dragged along with it are usually easy to pwn.

I would declare MTV as a whole seperate genre, and then get rid of it.

Rap or Country.

Rap

I can't imagine a person who'd rid the world of Aretha Franklin, Al Green, De La Soul and Public Enemy would become very popular.

Personally, I'd eliminate the current breed of electronic 'urban' pop music (that is criminally referred to as R&B despite being devoid of proper rhythm or any kind of blues outside of the occasional trick b!tch or slight dullness of the bling), purveyed by the likes of Beyonce, Akon and Timbaland. Saying that, it'll die out within the next decade anyway, as trends march on, so it may be pointless to do so.
