horrible how everything on the radio isn't true EDM or whatever.

Heartbeat. I can't stand that annoying song because of the background.

The one that's used for the opening of the show of the same name?

Hard to say about individual songs but I think the only music genres that I can't listen to are something like probably intense electronic music (affects my heartbeat and makes me nervous), heavy metal and such (screaming and yelling, I can't even catch the lyrics), and maybe surprisingly most of reggae because even though it's chill itself, it makes me physically feel the smell of weed which gives me a headache (exceptions are reggae pop songs, I love Ray Darwin's "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" and Big Mountain's "Baby I Love Your Way", that type of reggae pop). I don't typically like too vulgar or at least degrading songs either, so mostly older music than what I've heard of today's song lyrics etc. Otherwise I like many kinds of music, especially all very emotional songs, the lezginka rythm, beautiful Quranic recitations and generally beautiful praise songs, Finnish and Russian old melancholic schlagers (they're partly the same songs loaned back in the day), Ansambl Aleksandrov's songs. People often laugh at my musical taste because it's indeed not very typical, except that I like especially the early songs by The Beatles - that's quite typical compared to the others. And people wonder why I can't stand what they love. It's just the sensory issues for the most part.
OK, it went off topic a bit, I focused on what I like too much

Pretty much most songs after 2005. A lot of repetitive lifeless rinse and repeat with zero emotion.
Been listening to retro 80’s music. The contrast is stark. There’s a lot of life in them.

2005 seems to be a watershed moment for me too.

That's okay, it is a thread to discuss what song or type of music you don't like and why.

I can't really say I dislike any genres or singers because in almost every band or genre I'll probably like at least one song lol. But I can't stand any of that heavy metal/rock stuff. I have none of that on my phone MP3 player app.

I like that series, but the song is indeed a little annoying.

So I'm guessing you're not a Käärijä fan? I thought all Finns had to be that.
You guys almost broke Eurovision with that one, it was awesome.

The show is all right. It's just sometimes the theme music only plays the background and not the words and you wonder when it's going to stop, as it gets louder and more intense and I'm like "please, stop!"

Yeah, I've only heard the name, probably in some articles! Had no idea what it was about though, but I guessed it was about the Eurovision contest. I might probably add most Eurovision songs to my "not-so-fan-of" list!
I like Alexander Rybak though, but I only heard of him much later, I've never watched the contest.

I also hate that song that starts with "I got the power!" When we were kids my sister used to always kick her foot in the air when it said "power" and it just irritated me lol.

 

[QueenOfFrance87]

Anything by Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Kanye, Jay-Z, Nicki Minaj, and Justin Bieber. As a matter of fact, in spite of being a millennial, I could never stand new/modern music. I am more of a classic rock person, and see myself rocking on to legends like Queen, Rush, The Who, Heart, Foreigner, and Led Zeppelin, among others.

See, most of their songs I dislike too, but some I do actually like. It's annoying when I'm not into a band or a singer yet I find I like a song sung by them.
I don't like the Beatles, but I only like one song they sing, which is Yellow Submarine.
I also don't like Pink Floyd but I do like Brick In The Wall.

But, like I said before, the only music I can safely say I don't like at all are sung by Led Zeppelin or ACDC, stuff like that. To me it's just noise, not music.

Metal and rock seem to be a common favourite among the autistic community, but I can't stand most of it. If I want to listen to something aggressive-like, I listen to marching music with brass bass or whatever it's called.

That's Snap!, 1990. German Eurodance. Very repetitive song.

Ah okay lol. That was the year I was born.

I listened to my favorite radio channels for the whole 90s, day and night (yep, even asleep!), but for some reason stopped listening to it in the early 2000's, maybe in 2004 when my late hubby listened to it still all the time. Then I listened to my own recorded c-casettes, only stopped listening to those when I got a smartphone in 2016 to make YouTube lists (I know! Skipped a lot of tech...). I discovered YouTube in 2007, but only got to use it later because my computer was too old for the use of all of the internets, like the videos. So most of the the singers and songs I read about people listing here are not very familiar to me. All the 90s popular songs and many 80s classics are most familiar to me, so I guess the familiarity makes me like them too (same with movies, I can't focus on new movies for some reason but can watch my favorite 90s/early-2000s movies a million times! Oops I did it again, off-topicked a bit... ). I've tried listening to the more modern music, but I just feel like a lot of it is very shallow or kind of trying to shock people in its vulgarity. To each their own of course. I like some modern songs, but most are just...meh... Lacking soulfulness. So yep, stuck in the 90s, later music is the "youth music" my daughter likes. I'm not old! I can can-can!

The 90s was so hectic towards the end.

We had the opposite - the early 90s was the mass poverty (The Great Depression), the late 90s was a bit more chill here when the common people had gotten used to it I guess. Of course my own life is a whole another story, but music helps in everything too.

 

[Misty Avich]

I dislike this, not because it's a terrible song but because in the late 90s I was stuck with some people for a while and we were not sober. At all. And Europop was everywhere. The late 90s was a rough time in Scandinavia. Everything was overflowing. Those people played this song non stop one weekend and the volume was set to 11. When I hear it now, I feel like I need therapy.
Alice Deejay wrecked me. This was actually around the same time as Darude - Sandstorm hit the world. So it was this and Sandstorm. The 90s was so hectic towards the end.

Songs can have a negative affect if they remind you of negative times.
I do actually like that song. It reminds me of being 9, which was one of my favourite years of my life. I literally had no worries. I had a nice teacher, I had friends in my class, I wasn't bullied by anyone, and I went on lots of outings with my family and had all the toys I wanted at home, and all my cousins to play with, and my parents had got two little kittens. Wonderful time. Take me back. *Sigh*

2004 was one of my worst years of my life (age 14), as I was bullied at school and had no friends and my parents divorced and there was other dramas in my family going on. So a lot of songs that came out that time obviously remind me of that time, like Toxic by Brittany Spears.
