shareI'll go with most hated
Bon Jovi
Van Halen
Nickelback
Maroon 5
Creed
But man you have created the ultimate poser list of terrible bands.. except Evanescence I stand by them.
Is Imagine Dragons becoming the new Nickelback? That is, the band that everyone other than their actual fans seems to love to really hate? I'm seeing them get bashed A LOT lately.
I actually have a couple of their albums and like some of their songs. LOL. I can't help getting into Thunder.
Sometimes there's a difference between something being good and something you like that's bad, but you can admit it's bad.
shareI feel conflicted about Bon Jovi. I dislike Jon and what the band became in the 90s, but I LOVE Livin on a Prayer and You Give Love a Bad Name.
I may be a K-pop fan, but I've got to high five you on BTS. God, they're freaking annoying! Their debut was pretty good, though:

I love this but I also kind of want to do the 19 year old guys in this video. Is that bad?

Truly inspiring lyrics AND you can dance to it!
shareStuff like Coldplay that really flat depressing Brit pop sound that was popular a while back. Maroon 5 etc that generic shit. Then you have all the Top 40 stuff and rap, techno, just soulless noise.
shareI hate pop, but my absolute least favourite genre is rap. It's all a bunch of people who sample other people's songs, get a featured artist on every song, rap about street life, and they never use a basic instrument.
shareI'll admit that not every type of music I love would be considered high brow but there is talent and thought involved in it's creation. Rap, techno and pop though is just colour by numbers the same everything with a different title.
shareYou have to listen to underground rap/international rap. Not the commercialized gangsta thug life crap pushed by American corporations. That stuff you're talking about was purposely pushed by mainstream media to denigrate black people and push a lifestyle (hip hop) that was completely invented by MTV and record executives.
Some artists to check out: Digable Planets, Rip Slyme (Japanese), Just Jack (British).
Imagine Dragons: really huh? Guy got a great voice and band got cool beats.
Otherwise I agree with most your picks although I did enjoy Limp bizkit and the song”ain’t nothing but mammals”
