Unpopular Music Genres

Post Reply New Topic

I like smooth jazz, but I've never gotten much into it. Still, I find it interesting that some metal bands have dabbled in the genre.

I think folk music is unpopular these days.

I don't think cybergrind is very popular, or speedcore for that matter either. This song falls into both categories and it is absolutely nuts.

Trigger warning for some rather graphic soundbites taken from a serial killer documentary. Also, don't search up the official video for this if you're prone to seizures, as it contains a lot of rapid flashing.

meshuggah. If patterns and logic are your thing look at some analyses of their polyrhythmic work

Psychedelic rock, it is absolutely amazing but do not think it is very 'popular....same with metal, though there is stuff that is not metal that the media will describe as metal. If they have an award for the catagory of 'best current metal band' for music awards chances are the award would not actually go to a metal band.......probably some metalcore, or some kind of core or screamo sort of stuff.

Not my thing, too fast and straightforward, but I don't think most people realize how difficult that vocal style is to pull off. The tone sucks for me, but to keep up with clearly discernible syllables is quite a challenge...

I think the hatred of country that most liberal people claim to have has more to do with cosmetic considerations than the music itself. That so many people seem to treat music like a fashion statement disappoints me.

It depends on what you mean by folk music. One huge act right now plays folk music. That band is Of Monsters And Men.

Unlike me, who has listened to this format since being a preschooler around 2001-2002, most people dislike smooth jazz music. They think the music is "fake" jazz and "elevator music." Well, I suppose the only smooth jazz song they've ever listened to is Kenny G's annoying "Songbird," which reached the top 5 on the Hot 100 in 1986-1987. Most of these people probably wouldn't know Richard Elliot, Dave Koz, Jeff Lorber, Warren Hill, David Sanborn, Kim Waters, Chuck Loeb, David Benoit and Norman Brown that well. I feel that SJ is really relaxing to listen to and unlike lullabies, and classical music, and Mozart pieces, which most little kids listened to when taking a nap or going to bed at night, smooth jazz got me asleep faster. And plus, lots of these songs are really groovy! Some smooth jazz can also be considered "acid jazz" as well, and many smooth jazz stations (which 99% flipped formats due to low ratings, and because only "65+" listened to the format) also played smooth R&B stuff like Sade, Anita Baker, Seal etc. which I also like. We had a station in Seattle that had the format (98.9) and in elementary school I was a regular listener. I believe the station sent my dad a CD sampler as well years ago...had Richard Elliot, Dave Koz, Jonathan Butler etc on it. 98.9 flipped late in 2010 to a "modern music" format and it sucks...same 100 songs as three or four other stations in town.
