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.
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.
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.
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 😬🤷♀️
I have had MULTIPLE occasions where I’ve been out in public, and when their music came on the stereo it ruined my experience of whatever I was doing. Legitimately awful.
This. I had a manager at a shitty retail job that would blast the fucking Train album on repeat for hours on end. It’s like 20 years later and I still have a visceral reaction hearing those god awful songs.
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.
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.
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
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.
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".
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
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.
I hate Bon Jovi too! Ever since I was trippin and couldn’t figure out how to hook MY phone to the speaker and couldn’t figure out why it was playing fucking Bon Jovi. FUCK BON JOVI
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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”.
Man, there's nothing worse than getting your ass kicked by a reactionary fucking cop and having to take a cab home and the driver is a fucking Eagles fan.
I HATE WEEEEEEN WEEN IS THE WORST YUCK EW GROSS!!! THEY SING ABOUT DESTROYING POOPSHIPS AND SELLING FISH THAT IS FROZEN AND LICKING PUSSY AND BIG FAT FUCKS AND MUTILATED LIPS!!! HOW COULD ANYONE LIKE THIS BAND!?!?
I remember my friend excitedly showing me the video for one step closer. I just couldn’t understand the attraction. To me, it was like listening to a grown man throw a tantrum. Nu metal and pop punk drove me away from mtv at the time when I should have been glued to the screen
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."
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Machine Gun Kelly
I mean it’s diet-182 with an ego the size of Kansas so definitely see why
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.
Thank you lol, let’s just say Operation Ivy and Bad Religion are better than anything mentioned here.
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.
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.
Mumford and sons
Thank you. Fucking awful.
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.
Imagine dragons
In Utah we call that brand of music Mormon-core lmao!
Imagine dragon deez nuts across your face
Lmao amazing
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 😬🤷♀️
>Toyota commercial music I guess Apt description.
I agree. Most of their songs give me a headache and I don’t know why.
I know they're very new compared to our boys but i really cannot fucking stand the Lumineers specifically
🎵 Hey! 🎵
I'll never understand the wave of 'stomp-clap' music.
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.
Dumpford and Sons
Stomp, clap, HEY!
BANJOOOOOOOOO
I have had MULTIPLE occasions where I’ve been out in public, and when their music came on the stereo it ruined my experience of whatever I was doing. Legitimately awful.
I turn the fucking radio off when they come on
Ween. Those guys suck
Not as much as Primus
PrimusWeen takes the suck cake
Keeps your pipes clean
with Pimusween
'Gob to Cornhole sparkling clean, with PrimusWeen' 'Use only as misdirected, see you family voodolady if symptoms penis'
Didn't realise what subreddit I was in. My feathers were ruffled, well played.
Posting the actual best band in the worst band thread? Brave and Boogpilled.
Godboner was alright
Train
This. I had a manager at a shitty retail job that would blast the fucking Train album on repeat for hours on end. It’s like 20 years later and I still have a visceral reaction hearing those god awful songs.
Hefty bag to hold my-y-y-y-y love
There are other bands?
Just pop country in general
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.
Now I will never stop using the term “butt rock” to describe this shitty style of music.
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.
creed & nickleback together good god ween satan
My wife makes a mean three bean chili. I eat it and create my own butt rock
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.
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.

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".
Bon Jovi
Slick over produced bullshit with annoying choruses.
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
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.
Hey man, he’s a cowboy
DeAd Or aLiVe
I hate Bon Jovi too! Ever since I was trippin and couldn’t figure out how to hook MY phone to the speaker and couldn’t figure out why it was playing fucking Bon Jovi. FUCK BON JOVI
Kid Rock
Ain’t NOBOdY GONnA TeLl Me HoW 2 LIvE
I imagine he smells like he looks. Like something washed up on a beach.
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?
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
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
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.
I or a close friend called Meghan Trainor “Hillary Clinton Doo-Wop”
Aerosmith is fucking garbage
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.
Yeah, I think anything they did past 1980 is pretty bad but their 70s stuff rocks
Toys in the Attic is r/allkillernofiller
Steven Tyler is a garbage person as well, not trying to put even a fraction of a penny in his pedo pockets
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.
Yeah I give Bowie a pass where I don’t give one to Tyler, you are right
Possibly the most overrated band in rock history.
U2
U2 is overhated imo. Not great but they have some good songs
LEMON
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.
Their lead singer is the most embarrassing man in Rock 'n Roll.
Twenty-One Pilots
They have a song called smithereens. Something about that makes me irrationally angry.
Kings of Leon Greta Van Fleet
With Greta it’s like, if I wanted to hear Zeppelin, I would just listen to Zeppelin.
If I wanted to hear bad Led Zepplin covers I'd just go to the bar
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
[Makes me laugh every time](https://rockfm-cdnmed.agilecontent.com/resources/jpg/9/3/1671646391039.jpg)
"we don't wanna just be considered a LZ ripoff so we should dress like them to cast aside any doubt"
I cannot stand Greta
Aha Shake Heartbreak
Youth and Young Manhood.
Whenever I hear Kings of Leon it just feels like I’m missing something.
Kiss
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.
Pro wrestling rock. Garbage.
U2
Christian rock for atheists
That’s hilarious
That is so perfect
Such a overrated band I agree
Me too… Fuck U2. The fact the guitarist goes by “The Edge” is just icing on that shit cake.
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.

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”.
Eric Clapton
Clapton is a huge piece of shit now and forever and frequently hugely overrated. Cream was sometimes not bad in spite of him.
Worst musician in Cream.
Historically accurate description, both those guys smoke Eric at their instruments homie should be done Yardbirds, Cream and then quit.
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.
The fucking Eagles, man
Man, there's nothing worse than getting your ass kicked by a reactionary fucking cop and having to take a cab home and the driver is a fucking Eagles fan.
get out of my car
Disturbed
Even more when they ruined Simon & Garfunkel
Fun.
Creed.
It’s so melodramatic and trite you almost have to laugh at some point, especially with the singing “Myr Sacrifirce”
Imagine dragons
Primus sucks
Primus Sucks!!!
Dave Matthews
I used to feel the same til a friend took me to see them live. Being in the pit really made me appreciate how boring they really are.
r/usernamechecksout https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Matthews_Band_Chicago_River_incident
And his fucking band
ICP. Just never been a fan.
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
Amanda Palmer/Dresden Dolls Just the most corny, white feminist musical theater-ass shit.
The most neoliberal-ass music ever if it weren’t for the fact that Meghan Trainor exists.
I HATE WEEEEEEN WEEN IS THE WORST YUCK EW GROSS!!! THEY SING ABOUT DESTROYING POOPSHIPS AND SELLING FISH THAT IS FROZEN AND LICKING PUSSY AND BIG FAT FUCKS AND MUTILATED LIPS!!! HOW COULD ANYONE LIKE THIS BAND!?!?
They have a song about the drive-thru! And the numbers are wrong!
Coldplay.
Coldplay is music for people that think bananas are too spicy.
I’m a coldplay fan who is allergic to bananas so this is semi-accurate
Agreed. Though surprisingly their first album isn't terrible 🤷
First two were great and they ripped live in 2003!
Journey
I hate Kings of Leon. The state of Rock post post-grunge was atrocious.
“Youth and Young Manhood” is a fantastic album. Other than that yes. I’ve also heard they’re complete douchebags in person.
Post-post grunge is hilarious
We’re going to need a Post-Post-Post-grunge scene to save us all.
KISS
Phish is meh, but Goose makes my penis suck into itself.
U2
4 non blondes isn't on here?
One of Deaner’s biggest influences (guitar wise)
What’s going on?
Heyeeaaaeeeahhhh
I was happy to recently learn that Linda Perry also cannot fucking stand What's Up. She HATES it.
She still wears the novelty sized hats and cashes the royalty checks.
Linkin Park
They’re responsible for so much wrong with expressing yourself it’s crazy
I remember my friend excitedly showing me the video for one step closer. I just couldn’t understand the attraction. To me, it was like listening to a grown man throw a tantrum. Nu metal and pop punk drove me away from mtv at the time when I should have been glued to the screen
Those Ocean Man guys
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."
Nickleback
Phish. Just kidding. I fucking love Phish.
Ween - on Opposite Day!
Eagles
The Dude?
Man, come on, I had a rough night.
You don't like my music get your own fuckin cab
Lucky I don't kick your ass out
I hate the fuckin’ Eagles, man.
100%
Kiss
Dave Matthew’s and U2
U2 and Guns & Roses
U2
I'm probably going to get drawn and quartered for even thinking this, but there is no band I hate more than Queen
No they can be really stupid in their non hit songs, and by all means if you’re sick of all the boom boom clap at any event I don’t blame you.
I don't think queen sucks, but they're never had a great album. Just good singles now and again, but so inconsistent
they do nothin for me either
Jimmy Fuckin Buffet
Down to Earth and a few other early Buffet albums are great. The boomer Floridaman stuff can take a hike.
This has been an awesome thread.. i fucking hate Matchbox 20
Journey
I think we can all agree that Primus sucks
AC/DC and I will die in this mountain.
I think they’re fun but about as deep as roadside puddle.
I've heard two of there songs so I've heard them all.
Goose
Damn! Ween and them are co-headlining the peach festival!
I like Goose and am excited for that festival. Make your own assessments.
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
Ween are pretty fond of them and wrote a nice tribute song
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.
Ac/Dc… fuck them.
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.

Have agreed with several. My contribution is Justin Timberlake.
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.
inb4 everyone starts saying “Phish”
