What turns you off when it comes to music?

I have a hard time finding good black metal. One for the lyrics, two, because there is just all-around bad recording done with them. Not as dynamic as it should be. The lyrics are just ridiculous. No other music scene do you find the entire genre just based on hatred, much less a specific hatred. But whatever, to each their own.

Rap & Hip-Hop are also very picky for me. It comes right down to the song.

I have no idea what band it is but a lot of people play them around here, it just consists of this really shitty singer wailing in a cracked voice because he's too talentless to actually sing, combined with a disgustingly over-simplified classic blues rock beat.

Please give me the Allman Brothers instead, kthx.

Also lyrics in techno. You either have them, or you don't. Please don't ruin a good techno song by sticking some stupid, senseless, meaningless phrase right in the middle.

Meaning in lyrics doesn't really bother me unless its just ALL solely hate, anger, etc. Then it's like.....get a life.

Emo. Now there are lyrics that bother me. Not to mention most emo bands can't play anything, much less their guitars, worth a shit. I really do NOT care that your girlfriend dumped you for your plastic diaper fetish.

So yeah I guess I kind of contradicted myself there, but for the most part, meaning doesn't matter. In fact I almost prefer everything to be in a different language.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

QFT. I've always found this fact to be extremely pathetic. United? (lol) in hate.

If lyrics are absolutely no obstacle for you, than I urge ANY black metal fan to check out Tvangeste. An absolutely incredible sounding black/symphonic band that for some reason has gone completely under the radar. Their last album was done with the Baltic Symphonic Orchestra (I think). They offer 3 or 4 free tracks on their website.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
