I dunno. Maybe specific bands, but with free exceptions, don’t most of us like at least a few things in every genre?
Country Western is my no-go - steel guitars get on my nerves. But even so, there are several songs I like. I’m not partial to rap or hip hop, but there’s a lot of it in my library. I just don’t buy albums of either of those genres. I can’t say there are many bands I’ll not listen to something from. Isn’t this common? Like, most of us? I figure even the gothiest goth girl who ever gothed probably has a couple Hannah Montana songs hidden away.
Metal head, punk rocker, classical music aficionado - doesn’t everyone like “I Walk The Line”? I can’t stand The Grateful Dead as a rule, but “Brown Eyed Woman” is good.
It’s my belief people like music, and everyone has some songs they like from every genre, even if they aren’t buying albums of the stuff. And people’s taste may run to dominant themes, but they like far more genres than they identify with through their T-Shirts.
What genre do you truly hate, and can think of not a single song in it that you like?

I feel like they’d say their favorite genre is “anime soundtracks”

To be fair, there ARE great anime soundtracks out there. Especially these days where they get actual bands/musicians to make them. But yes, anon probably has shit taste in music.

Ther’s Yoko Kano, Nujabes, Tsuneo Imahori… people like that…
… and then theres 192 bpm J-Pop song #4838573.
And then of course there’s Jojo, where… basically half or more of the characters just are named after, or a pun on classic rock bands or songs.
Whole wide spectrum out there, but there certainly is a lot of formulaic slop.

I definitely agree (RIP Nujabes)
More of a joke about someone calling “anime soundtracks” a genre because they’re musically uncultured. I don’t even like The Doors lol

The problem with anime soundtracks is they get me excited about the source band, only to find out they don’t have any other music like it.
Had the same problem with the Blade Runner soundtrack.

Probably just a soundtrack of assorted hentai moans.

I can’t believe people are still disparaging gooncore as a genre in 2025 :^(

That could seriously fuck though, if arranged right.
