Are you sure you weren't just playing Hotline Miami?
As for my least favourite music, I'm going to say, and hear me out, mainstream manufactured pop. I say hear me out because I'm not saying it because of the people that make music like that, I'm less happy with the way it is managed, how the actual talent is treated, and how restrictive it feels. I can listen to a pop song as much as anyone else, but what I dislike is the way the artists are handled by the management structure surrounding the industry.
Put it this way, if you want to get started in pretty much any other genre of music, you just need to grab a few people, make a few demos and fling them out there and see what happens. In order to be a successful pop star, you NEED a large financial backing, some kind of corporate money behind you and even then you KNOW that unless you're absurdly successful you'll be off the radar in about 3-5 years time.
Taking as an example, the horrific TV talent shows that exist all over the place, frequently the winners are forgotten about in favour of the photogenic runner up, the one that didn't win but had a nice sob story to back them up, the weird one who has a nice voice despite it. This industry
uses people more often and much harder than any other music industry. People like Susan Boyle ended up having panic attacks as a result of fame that, while it was maybe invited, wasn't under the artist's control, and ended up causing that person health problems as a result.
I don't mind light music, and I don't mind happy songs about nice things. I do mind those selfsame people being tossed aside when they are of no more use like they're not people. It lends the entire genre a nasty tinge that I always think about when I'm hearing that kind of music.
