Is there any music you hate?

Music and Musical Instruments that Many People of The West in Modern Times Might Be Averse To

1. organ music (people who don't like to go to church might not like organs: they may only hear the organ at funerals and associate it as an instrument of death… pipe organs are often subject of horror drama and Halloween)
2. bagpipe music (my father thought they sounded likes several cats stuck up in tree)
3. harmonica music
4. accordion music (my mother thought they sounded squeaky and certainly not noble like a pipe organ)
5. classical Indian ragas: westerners might ask where the harmony is
6. rap "music" (noise): sounds like a lot of loud beating on old garbage cans and records' getting scratched by a needle jumping out of the groove; completely devoid of art form or harmony
7. harpsichords: my grandfather said he liked the piano much better, they are thought of as dainty or effeminate by some, Lurch on The Addams Family gave it a rather bad image
8. classical music: where's the MELODY is a common question; you can't put your foot down to it Grandma once said on The Waltons; many young people in the West have been turned off to classical music since the advent of jazz, country-western and rock and roll; Roll Over Beethoven is a common line by rock song writers deriding classical music

That's just the way to begin your time with us, Hank! This topic was just discussed on the Forum, but I'll start off by repeating my comments there. I hate music-all music.;-) Read the other thread for the caveats.

What does it matter? What's the point in asking or knowing? I'd wonder if you're doing a survey, but you seem to have done that already, since you've already checked with your mother, father and grandfather.

It sounds like lots of opinion with no fact and possibly no experience, other than hearing someone else's opinion.

There are also falsehoods in your statements, which make your opinions very weak. For example, Classical music has lots of melodies and does have good rhythms that you CAN put your foot down to.

You also present bias - stating one fact as if it negates other facts. Yes, many young people have chosen other styles of music over Classical, but I know lots of young people who have chosen Classical music over other styles.
