To be specific, any form or type of music that is very unpopular.

I would say Polka, but I don't know. I'm sure i'm wrong here.

If only it was what emos consider emo.

DrewFelton
this new age punk rock boy band crap lol

Impediment
Nu Metal, in my opinion.

MildPossession
I don't think Polka counts, I bet a large % of people haven't even heard of it as a music sub genre, so it doesn't have a chance to be popular even if it wanted to be. It's not exactly chart topping music...

That's if you mean as in a genre that is out there and disliked?

occultdestroyer
NEScore/Nintendocore/Electronic Metal

SnakeEyes
As far as mainstream genres, probably some form of metal.

That ACDC Chick
techno

MildPossession
Yeah I would agree with Metal, and also here in the UK, Country music isn't a big thing.

barbershop

I'd say he accomplished that. That is one of the dumbest thing I have heard from you. Or you simply missed the point.

Go ride his dick elsewhere.

That is HIGHLY inappropriate Jacope

Oh, yeah, because that's an appropriate post.

Warned for personal attacks. Do it again and you'll shortly be a permanently retired KMCer.

Dumb people. Mainstream rap and hip-hop has fallen off since the new millennium imo.

To be very frank with you..I never heard of polka..Did not even know that such a genre of music existed..lol...

All forms of music have a niche and Metal most certainly does, just because it doesn't have a staple fix on the mainstream musical charts doesn't mean it's not popular and the fact bands like Slayer, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Slipknot can sell out arenas is proof enough, and even on a smaller scale (with the bands who spend their whole career playing bars and clubs) Metal probably has the most passionate fanbase of all music.

Noise.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_%28music%29

You guys probably never even heard of this music genre.
And I'm not even kidding.

red g jacks
if we're not necessarily speaking about which genre has the least fans, but rather which genre is hated by the most people, i'd have to go with country music, which probably slightly tops emo, with the 3rd seed going to rap.

and now, for your listening pleasure

As long as people get Bar Mitzvahs, Polka will never die.

I think in large part glam metal which is a good thing. THe MTV "punk" is going downhill which is a good thing but even real hardcore is losing popularity as post-punk and no wave are coming back in a big bad way. It's hard to go to a bar on Broadway in Denver on a Friday night without hearing some local band that sounds just like the sleepers, Husker DU, or Tuxedo Moon.

I have the winner.
Japanese noise music.

Noise music, if you count Free Kitten, Sonic Youth, Yamantaka Eye, Drift, Pavement, etc. Actually sell a buttload of CDs and sell out almost every show. Sonic Youth are huge and their SYR series of specific noise experiments actually sell respectably.

Nono not that stuff, that has a semblance of beat and rhythm, one of my friends he listens to like traffic distorted and intermixed or the sound of machinery mixed with several alarm clocks.
Theres nothing musical about it, he said it was recorded in japan and theres a heap of bands like it.
When he's online ill get a link.

Everybody hates rap!

Tattoos N Scars
Well, Rap isn't music..it is synthesized..lol. It takes a lot less skill to perform rap music than to keep up with guitar riffs and blast drum beats in metal bands.


As far as the most unpopular music...I don't know. Maybe the kids songs..how many people have the Barney theme song playin' in their vehicles' CD players..lol

Credit where credit's due Lana, that was genuinely funny.

Noise is getting more and more popular, along with drone and that sort of stuff.
