I'm sure some of you have some artists that are generally beloved by the music community but you just can't stand them.

For me it is The Mars Volta. It should be right up my alley, I like a lot of similar music but I can't get over the vocals. They sound so emo (which kinda makes sense, given the background of the vocalist) but to me it just does not fit the music at all.

Not trying to shit talk them, just wanting to share some hot takes.

If we're talking a specific band/artist, it's Polyphia. While I agree that their music is good from a technical standpoint, I cannot stand listening to their "guitar tickling" sound, I keep getting blueballed while listening to them. They tickle their guitars, a buildup section begins, but instead of a "drop" or a groovier section, the buildup leads to more guitar tickling. The music just has no energy to me.

If we're talking about genres, rap in general is not for me. Most of it is very low energy with musically simple beats. I've never been a big vocals kind of guy, so I guess it's natural that a genre all about the lyrics doesn't rhyme with me.
