since soooo many are cluttering up the Stupid Things You've Heard Thread (Music Related) here's a thread for you that just like to state opinions you don't care for that you think are stupid.

This thread is awesome. That is my opinion.

Nirvana sucks. That is all.

I cannot stand overly simplistic synthetic rhythm sections. One reason I hate pop so much. There's just no depth, so when I dive into the music, expecting some measure of complexity, I end up cracking my head open on the bottom relatively quickly because of how shallow it sounds. With a simple rhythm section, I can at least wrap my head around drum sound and which drums are being hit along with distinguishing a bass line from the mix. With most pop tunes, there's NOTHING for me to grasp. It's all too clean, simple and emotionless and that sound is like nails against a chalkboard to me (which, in retrospect, might be better since it could be used well as ambience).

Oh, by the way, nice title, there, a21Schizoidman a.k.a. the "Prog-nosticator", haha

I agree with that post actually, hits the nail on why I don't like pop really at times. I also got to say that title kicks ass.

I don't like overly technical pieces of music. Most extremely technical musicians sound like emotionless robots to me; in my opinion, there's little point in playing music if you can't play from your heart, and not from your brain.

I'm one of them "there is beauty in simplicity" folks.

i typically lean towards the more simplistic/minimalist stuff, but neither particularly jump out at me when listening to music unless that's there is to it (in which case i probably hate it).

that said, when recording my own music i tend to go with layering a possibly excessive amount of tracks over one another because while i'm definitely not a perfectionist, i do have LOTS of trouble deciding that something is "done".
my latest recordings have caused me to really focus on keeping things more stripped-down, along with trying to sing and not coat my voice in effects.

I have nothing against simplicity. Simplicity can be beautiful, but in the context of pop, its emotionless, mechanical simplicity.

I don't like music that sucks.

sometimes i like music when it sucks so much that it affects me nearly as much as music that doesn't suck...
