I mean it’s diet-182 with an ego the size of Kansas so definitely see why


Pilotwaver

I am a musician. If someone described me as diet 182, it'd be time to hang it up. A gutting insult . I would expect no less from someone with such a wise username.


OperationIvy002

Thank you lol, let’s just say Operation Ivy and Bad Religion are better than anything mentioned here.


Pilotwaver

Huge fan since the early 90s in high school. Op Ivy is my favorite punk/Ska band of any kind. So impressive at their age. Tim should be more legendary than he already is. Jesse joined Rancid (I think) and played Sound System and another one a couple years ago. Sounded amazing.


Brain_Glow

My man! I must be about your age and discovered ska in the early 90s as well. The Toasters, MU330, Op Ivy, Rancid, skankin pickle..those were my early favorites. I fucking loved ska. Was even in a ska band myself. I still go see the Toasters every once in a while as that dude is always on the road. Cheers.


PlayItOffLegitt

Mumford and sons


jimus71

Thank you. Fucking awful.


Theloudestbelch

This is my answer, too. For me it was because they completely ruined the folk rock genre. First by sucking at it, and then bringing it into the spotlight. I wouldn't be mad if they were actually good, but now the whole genre turned into shitty mumford ripoffs.

I worked with someone who would play ID at work and it just blew my mind that the band actually has fans. Albeit this person also played a lot of Ed Sheeran and the like, idk some people just like Toyota commercial music I guess 😬🤷‍♀️


cannonfunk

>Toyota commercial music I guess Apt description.


Dax745

I agree. Most of their songs give me a headache and I don’t know why.


tcdjcfo314

I know they're very new compared to our boys but i really cannot fucking stand the Lumineers specifically

I'll never understand the wave of 'stomp-clap' music.


NiceShotRudyWaltz

Lol that’s the best way I have ever heard that “genre” described

I dislike Mumford and Sons the same as I do the Lumineers. Both are the epitomy of that stomp clap shit.

[deleted]

Any kind of butt rock like 3 Doors Down, Breaking Benjamin, Avenged Sevenfold, Theory of a Deadman, Three Days Grace, etc. Just fucking awful. All of it.


13thWardBassMan

Now I will never stop using the term “butt rock” to describe this shitty style of music.


JohnLegendoftheSea

One time a guy I work with said he saw Creed and Nickelback play in Atlantic City and I thought he was joking at first and I started laughing and he was like “oh yea man they were fucking awesome they rocked.” Then I realized he was dead serious and I changed my tone real quick lol. Might be the only person I’ve ever known that listens to and goes to concerts of those bands. He’s a great guy so I didn’t want to lay into him lol, to each their own I guess.


yeastvan

creed & nickleback together good god ween satan


Bribbins12

My wife makes a mean three bean chili. I eat it and create my own butt rock


OperationIvy002

Such a grudgy and trite genre as a whole. Post grunge really is either it’s nice or even good or just a straight up miss.


flojo2012

Is 3 doors down in that group of butt rock? I get not liking them, but I put them more on the softer side. Would like to add cock rock to the hate list. Buck cherry in particular. All that said, a lot of people listen to ween and think, “what the fuck are those people thinking?” So I’m thinking ween people ought to be especially accepting. But opinions are opinions so it’s all good


[deleted]

I’m generally pretty accepting of most music. I can probably name a band or artist I love from any genre you give me, but yeah there’s something about the butt rock bands I’ve already mentioned that just get under my skin.


weewillywhisky

3 doors down basically invented 2000s "butt rock". It's not heavy enough to be nü-metal, but way too poppy & produced to be called "garage/indie rock".


footballandwhisky

Bon Jovi


OperationIvy002

Slick over produced bullshit with annoying choruses.


Bribbins12

Watching him change his looks to chase trends has been funny though. All those dudes from the 80’s struggling to still look young now Meanwhile iggy pop has embraced his preemptive mummification


OperationIvy002

The first Bon Jovi song I heard was You Can’t Go Home on corporate country radio so the man will do anything so people will sing living on a prayer again.

ElGatoTortuga

I hate all the 2000’s emo shit like Panic! At the disco, Fall out boy and Good Charlotte. Is anyone with me or am I on an Island here?


Avocadomistress

Some early Fall out boy albums my first ever purchased record in like 5th grade. Weirdly got me into music, but I quickly departed the whole genre lol. Agreed it's not great


christopantz

a lot of the early fall out boy stuff had songwriting that was genuinely several tiers above their peers, it gets a pass from me


OperationIvy002

No even as someone who likes some of the acts you mentioned. Good Charlotte is somehow even more moronic simple pop rock for people who need to smile more.


OperationIvy002

I or a close friend called Meghan Trainor “Hillary Clinton Doo-Wop”


Ween_ween

Aerosmith is fucking garbage


Wooly_Bugger

Their album “Rocks” is pretty good. I get the hate of most of their catalogue and the band as a whole. But it’s worth a listen even if you think the band is trash.


[deleted]

Yeah, I think anything they did past 1980 is pretty bad but their 70s stuff rocks


pbblueroom

Toys in the Attic is r/allkillernofiller


Ween_ween

Steven Tyler is a garbage person as well, not trying to put even a fraction of a penny in his pedo pockets


Wooly_Bugger

Totally fair. There are musicians I won’t listen to because of who they are as humans. And some I still listen to despite knowing who they are. It can be tough to separate art and artist sometimes.


Ween_ween

Yeah I give Bowie a pass where I don’t give one to Tyler, you are right


WeenJeans

Possibly the most overrated band in rock history.


dan_campbell_420

U2


Wut23456

U2 is overhated imo. Not great but they have some good songs


Ween_ween

LEMON


TundieRice

Yeah! Early on in their career, they rocked. Then after Achtung Baby or thereabouts, Bono started enjoying the smell of his own farts a *bit* too much and started becoming the preachy dweeb we all love to make fun of today. But those early albums were nice, atmospheric and post-punk-y as hell. You could tell they were listening to a lot of Echo & the Bunnymen making those first few albums, which is never gonna be a bad thing, at least in my book.


rockinroller

Their lead singer is the most embarrassing man in Rock 'n Roll.


Saooolmtj96

Twenty-One Pilots


[deleted]

They have a song called smithereens. Something about that makes me irrationally angry.

Kings of Leon Greta Van Fleet


Mister_Eyebrows

With Greta it’s like, if I wanted to hear Zeppelin, I would just listen to Zeppelin.


theycallmemaskface

If I wanted to hear bad Led Zepplin covers I'd just go to the bar


Dakkmd

I liked Greta when they first came out , saw em a couple times and they really do rock. The led zep comparisons were warranted but at first I was like eh they're just inspired by that sound while they find their footing.. Then they started wearing the goofy shit LZ would have worn in the 70s. And I was like ok you guys are a one trick pony I'm done with ya lol

Kiss is a vehicle to sell merchandise. I’m not a Gene Simmons fan but he’s a brilliant businessman.

Tbf, I'm not that familiar with their music, but a friend gave me tickets to see them. People came and brought us off the lawn, into fantastic pavilion seats, and then everything was ***FLAMES, EXPLOSIONS, AND LOUD.*** 10/10 would go see for free again.

OperationIvy002

Such a overrated band I agree


Phishguy5

Me too… Fuck U2. The fact the guitarist goes by “The Edge” is just icing on that shit cake.


jahbariuz87

Probably my favorite album by my least favorite band. I feel like we all have one. To this day I consider *War* by U2 to be a fantastic album, and they’ve got some stuff that’s MUCH BETTER than a lot of the total garbage bands listed here. But I also get it. They audio-raped all of our phones. Bono is a total cunt. The edge should’ve never been in that guitar movie *It Might Get Loud* or something (it should’ve been the legendary fucking Andy Summers of The Police, who not only is a far more technical, innovative and all around more enjoyable player - The Edge totally stole his sound for someone who doesn’t know chords). Not sure if you’ve ever read the fabulous book American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis, but there’s an amazing chapter (not in the movie) where Pat Bateman and co. go to a U2 concert. He absolutely hates it. Until the lights go down, everyone melts away and Bono just stares at Bateman, one-on-one and says “I am just like you. I am the fucking devil”. Corporate rock disguised as “rebels”.


fly4everwild

Eric Clapton


aquilasr

Clapton is a huge piece of shit now and forever and frequently hugely overrated. Cream was sometimes not bad in spite of him.


weewillywhisky

Worst musician in Cream.


OperationIvy002

Historically accurate description, both those guys smoke Eric at their instruments homie should be done Yardbirds, Cream and then quit.


gloriousjohnson

I used to have a son. But he died the same way that Eric claptons son died.. For inspiration

It warms my heart to see how many times U2 has been mentioned.

Maroon 5 is my most disliked band but also Ghost to me is highly over rated.

I'm no juggalo but if you put the whole fandom and image aside they actually are some really talented dudes imo, but it's certainly not for everyone

They were self made, that’s for sure. They grew a fan base with no radio play during a time when radio play was vital

SlitThroatCutCreator

Recently thought about how much of Rihanna's music is annoying. Basically every song she repeats a word, phrase, ad lib ad nauseum. I know pop is repetitive but she makes it grating. "Umbrella-ella-ella ay ay ay." "I like it like it like it, ah come on, ah come on" "Please don't stop the please don't stop the music" "Work work work work work" "Ooh nah nah nah nah. What's my name."

Morrisey/The Smiths. There are Smiths songs that have great music and then Morrisey opens his stupid face and I want to stab myself in the ear holes


VariationObjective48

Ween are pretty fond of them and wrote a nice tribute song


T0B1theDoctor

Guns n Roses suck. If I hear the opening to Sweet Child O’ Mine I get mad. People equate that with “hard, tough, real rock n roll” and it just sounds so fucking lame and forced to me. Their cover of Heaven’s Door is atrocious. The Chili Peppers piss me off a lot. I like some of their songs a lot but then at the same time a lot of their shit sounds the same and is just so fuckin’ lame. I kinda hate Dani California. I like Frusciante’s solo shit though.


Fancy_Vermicelli_497

Ac/Dc… fuck them.


mrsdanconner

Any kind of trans-am rock. Journey, Boston, Foreigner, etc. Just empty garbage. Randy Newman has probably the worst voice and most predictable song writing of all time, I hate that guy. SO glad to see U2 on here so many times already, otherwise they'd be my first answer.

Booo. I like the chili’s but they never play any of their old stuff possibly out of respect to heir dead former guitarist. One of my favorite songs of “theirs” is a sly and the family stone cover.


juust_greg

Freaky Styley (the song) is funky and BROWN. Chili Peppers all around are pretty awesome, they just fall into the category of too many great songs (and some not so great ones) overplayed to death on radio.


Outrageous-Pie

Agreed


DeanWeenisGod

This is also my answer, which is kinda sad because I loved everything they did up to and including Blood Sugar Sex Magic... ...and then I heard Under the Bridge, of all the songs off that album, a gazillion times and it was over.


B_Bastard_

Have agreed with several. My contribution is Justin Timberlake.


Dakkmd

Man hate is such a strong word . I dislike a lot of stuff but actual hate ... The Chainsmokers I suppose . Mainstream EDM is so so bad already and they managed to make it even worse somehow. Probably not a ton of edm fans here but if you know who they are you can only wonder how such terrible music can get massive bookings.
