=======================

Also, to people that say country is a bad genre; you really need to realize how open that genre really is. There's different forms - Alt Country, Gothic Country, Americana, Contemporary Country, Nashville Sound, Urban Cowboy, Truck Driving Country, Honky Tonk, Progressive Country, Progressive Bluegrass, Outlaw Country, Plain old bluegrass, Close Harmony, Old Time, Cowboy, Yodeling, Boogie, Country Gospel, and Western Swing. I guess Old-Time too? That might be more on the folky side though.

I used to think of the genre 'House' to be the dumbest thing ever two years ago, then I found out there's like fifty versions of it - some are not too bad. Balearic Beat, Chicago House, Ghettotech/Ghettohouse, Microhouse are not shit. Progressive House, regular House music and Itali house from what I've heard is pretty bad.

Reggaeton

really not a fan of dancehall music in general and mixing it with latin music is pretty shit IMO.

Cumbia

There's some decent stuff out there; Chancha Via Circuito, Ondatropica, Los Destellos are some I have.

Pop

There's a billion genre's in the pop genre with billion more subgenre's. Adult Contemporary, Arabic Pop, Dangdut, CCM, Cambodian Pop, Bubblegum, Blue Eyed soul, Baroque Pop, Balkan Pop Folk, Art Pop, Turkish Pop, Synth Pop, Traditional Pop, Ambient Pop, Classical Crossover, Flamenco Pop, Ffolk Pop, French Pop, Indian Pop, Italo Pop, Jazz Pop, Rabiz Electropop, Dansktop, JPOP, KPOP, Space Age Pop, Sophisti-Pop, Schlager, Russian Chanson, Psychedelic Pop, Pop Soul, Pop Rai, Latin Pop, Sunshine Pop.....

Hip Hop/Rap has a billion genres and subgenre's in those too. Abstract Hip Hop, G Funk, Hardcore Hip Hop, French Hip Hop, East Coast Hip Hop, Disco Rap, Crunk, Dirty South, Comedy Rap, Bounce, West Coast Hip Hop Bongo Flava, Chopped and Screwed, UK Hip hop, Turntablism, Snap, Nerdcore, Miami Bass, Mephis Rap, Latin Rap, Jazz Rap, Japanese Hip Hop, Instrumental Hip Hop, Hyphy, Hiplife....

All I'm saying is that there's over a trillion gazillion genre's out there. To really hate something you need to have dug into it and well and done your research on it. To hate something takes passion and understanding. Especially when it comes to art/music. Hatred in art is an extreme cognitive feeling.

wow i'm stoned
