Does anyone like
 

Music that isn't pop? Not to sound hostile, I was just wondering :confused

Why of course :) ! I'm a huge trance fan, and it's been quite a while since I've bothered to listen to the radio :D !

I most certainly do. Trance is my genre of choice. Other than that, I listen to all sorts of electronica. Progressive, chill, breaks, whatever catches my attention. I'm also into some modern scoring for movies, TV, videogames.

I really hate the current pop scene in the US right now. I cannot stand turning on the radio these days.

Western classical music. I also have a few film soundtracks and a mild interest in electronica and world music. I listen to no western pop music (ie the kind of stuff that gets played on MTV and the radio) at all.

Trance music, like Cosmic Gate, Dj Tiesto, Marco V, Dj Lady Dana? Cause I like all that too:D

Industrial is what I often listen to, and enjoy, the most it seems.

i love rock!!!!!!!!!!! rock is the best!!!!!!!! ^^
i also love trance!! ^^ i really like Ayla and Atb

Anything else... except for Rap.. (rootword for CRAP!), Deathmetal, and country.... (like.. i lost my house, my woman and my dog.. all i have is my truck) ....

Everything else is all~ fair game. ^_-

Mostly anything but rap, punk, and country. I love metal and all of it's subgenres, as well as fusion (a style of jazz), and progressive rock. I also like a lot of classic rock and AOR.

Besides jpop, I love emo, gamesoundtracks, jazz, noise, hardcore and grindcore. I can enjoy other things too, hiphop, stonerrock, but these are definitely my favorites.

punk, rock, alternative...

Thrice, Finch, Taking Back Sunday, A.F.I, Saves the Day, Brand New, The Starting Line, Thursday, Coheed and Cambria, to name a few of the newer bands...

Pat Benetar, Heart, Aerosmith, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Bon Jovi, Deep Purple, INXS, Styx... to name a few of the older ones.

I'm definately a rock fan. That's why I liked "I Am..." so much.

I am a trance person also!!
I guess a lot of people on this furum also like it.:)

Hey, another emofan. l33t. Thursday and AFI are so great. I saw AFI live three months ago. Awesome.

I listen to basically anything that's good, but I tend to listen to rock. At one point I only listened to JPOP so I had no idea what was going on in the American music scene, but now I'm well-rounded. Hip Hop/R&B gets regular play on my playlist.

Favorite Artists: Linkin Park, Coldplay, Incubus, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, m-flo, Garbage, Gackt and Dragon Ash.

I hate pop. I like Rock and Metal.

Hmm, but what about Ayu? She's pop too.

I don't really hate pop. Often I don't like popmusic, but I don't hate it BECAUSE it is pop. I got some l33t pop records too.

i like progressive house, real trance like sasha / digweed etc [ie proper trance music that actually puts u in a trance - they should have called "ayu trance" - "ayu pop", stuff like the svenson / gielen [?] mix of "Depend on you" is the same sort of lame pop **** found in the charts imo :(]
im finally getting more into drum n bass as well.

Eeekk!! I forgot I had Japanese text on..*retypes in English*

I rather like the Australian pop scene more than the USA...I love Hip Hop, Trip Hop, Trance, Jungle, House, Punk, World, Instrumental, Rock...And whatever else I take a liking too.

Dislike: Country and Opera

I love Radiohead and the Get Up Kids.

Oh yeah, I meant English Pop. I <3 Japanese Pop.

Drums n Bass / Jungle is good, I like it but it tends to drive me insane if I listen to it too long :D


As for trance, I've never been to a trance party or a rave in my life, it doesn't really seem like my thing. I think I just like the music, not sure, some day I'd like to go to Trance Energy or Qontact ;)

K then ^_^

StorDuff, I ask you again, have you heard the Alec Empire vs. Merzbow record already?

Nothing can beat rock/pop rock/hard rock/classical rock?/metal/Shiina Ringo.

Ballad songs mostly, like SEASONS. Rock and R&B don't attract me much though. :)

slow jams are good
goa music sounds good too ^_^

What is goa music?? I've never heard of it before :/

I thought it was this relaxing music, you know... new age.

Like ambient. I got one Ambient CD too, Brian Eno's Music For Airports. It really is relaxing!

It's an offshoot of the trance scene. Named after Goa, India. It may be interchangeable with psy trance, though don't quote me on that since I don't know much about that particular scene.

Hmm, I may have to check out some goa music then..But again, I've never heard of psy trance either :/

Me neither :laugh what's it like, I always had the idea it actually put you in a trance :rolleyes and the fact that they sold it in the biggest heavy metal mailorder in the Benelux confused me even more! :D

me also likes: irn maiden, marilyn manson, linkin park, nine inch nails and all american rejects.:D

Don't like it at all.. in fact i think it is disturbing:shrug

Trance,Disturbed,System of a down,and other like that....

Huh, what's disturbing? Tell me tell me tell meeeee :D

yea, sure..

...?

^^ lol, sorry- i was answering to the topic question..

but i think destiny refers to disturbing as in profanity and stuff like that.. =]

lol thanx for clearing up ^^

I Listen to everything but country but i mostly like rock. Cold, Linkin Park, and Incubus are good bands.

I listen to every thing but country, dont mean to offend any country music fans. Punk is awesome. Cold Linkin Park Incubus

sry i didnt mean to post twice but my browser skrewed up. Im running this on a 166mhz anda 28.8 modem. im tryin to do photoshop too.(my good computers down)

Roooock. I love Evanescence, Marilyn Manson, Cold, KoRn, DIsturbed, Sinch, Socialburn, hm...yeah..that sort of stuff. Lol.

I take a big interest in J-Rock.

Noise. *grins*

I like rock and pop mainly.

I listen to western classical music, a bit of folk/country stuff an artist I like does.

So uhm.
Mainly I like some western punk. OLD punk and hardcore. None of this new pop-punk garbage.
And a lot of metal, even a little death metal, like the stuff coming out of Norway. The creepy stuff, you know.
And I like a lot of classical stuff. I like Chinese opera a lot too. Don't ask why.

Metal>Classical>Dance/Pop, I put English metal before asian metal because something felt missing from asian metal.

I notice many members listen to nu-metal. Not that anything wrong with it, but nu-metal is not consider metal by a some metalhead, infact nu-metal is degrogatory genre given to certain band that doesn't follow doesn't the traditional structure.

My question to is would you consider band to be metal if they play heavy song?

Anyone heard of Rhapsody before because it a band.

I love Techno and Dance music that most out of everything even though I like all types of music but Rap.

Nu-metal is lame. :yes If you like metal, at least make sure you listen to real metal. Not that crap. Arr.

It's funny though how, according to you, nu-metal is a degrogatory (?, i know what you mean though) name given to the genre because it doesn't follow the traditional structure. Which would mean metalheads are stuck up and hate progression? I don't think so. The problem is that it's lame.

My mistake I mean evolution is good but nu-metal is not a improvement rather a downgrade because the format is litterally verse-chorus-verse-chorus and the composition is pretty simple. Metal is kown for the technicality and nu-metal show little to no sign of it.

Ah. Good observation then :). You're very correct. For years, a number of bands and musicians have been trying to break through this standard format of verses and bridges and chorusses. Progressive artists like Dillinger Escape Plan, Dying Fetus, Cryptopsy, Candiria, you name 'em. And not only on the 'rock' field. Those of you familiar with jazz know how different the musical approach of artists such as John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, Miles Davis, and Art Blakey, among others, was. Even a band that is in general sometimes even called 'nu-metal' (for reasons I don't understand, for they're clearly not), namely Deftones, is doing very progressive stuff. The opening track on their previous album White Pony, Feiticeira, didn't even have a chorus!

i mainly listen to emo, pop-punk etc. like A.F.I., the holiday plan, taking back sunday, InMe, finch, three days grace, funeral for a friend, ash, weezer, foo fighters, new found glory, simple plan, alkaline trio, and so on...

I dont really listen to pop but Ayu is definately an exception ^_^
