How would define "bad music"?

[Gervais Cote]

Bad music is music played without emotion and/or attitude.

Stylistically, who am I to say what's good or bad. To each their own.

The only really bad music is something poorly performed - botched notes, bad timing, pitchy vocals, the whole band not on the same page. I'm talking live performance mostly since this kind of bad usually doesn't make it through the recording process.

 

[Freight Train]

I can't necessarily define it but I know it when I hear I!

 

[Smooth_bass88]

Anything by Bad Company, Badfinger, Bad English ... whom have I missed?

Badlands, Bad Religion

You know what music made me cry and still makes my stomach churn and the tears flow every time I hear it?

Some ambient, sampled synth nonsense or whatever the hell it even is. A very specific track from a video game.

Link please

 

[Shenron]

I can't articulate an answer... there are songs I would define "objectively bad" but when I explain their reasons, I then think of songs that share the same reasons but aren't bad at all.

For me there’s music and there is sound that is not music.

Off the top of my head:
As recorded there is, for the most part, music I like and music I don't like. And I have noticed that I am very much different than most along those lines. As I like music that we used to call mystical mind f*&%. I need something that moves me physically and mentally. No solo is required however real interesting guitar solo always gets me. I like good vocals but I also like not so good vocals as long as it fits the song.

As far as a live performance, I need to be sold. I need to see a show, a performance. I need the entire enchilada. Someone setting down strumming a low volume acoustic singing about clouds and boyfriends just bores the heck out of me.

Johnny Winters first manager told him "Virtuosity belongs in the orchestra pit. Showmanship and Entertainment is what it takes to sell a stage show".

There is no good or bad. Some really great music was simply not made for you.

Just because you lack the capacity to appreciate a piece of art, doesn’t have any effect on the fact that the thing you can not appreciate is in fact art.

I myself enjoy both snails and oysters.

Bad music is music that appeals to no one. I guess it exists but I have no knowledge of it.

 

[Bassique]

Yea, I was wondering why there are some praising comments on Lustmord music tracks. Then tried to listen patiently, but never heard anything what I would find interesting.

 

[pglaser01]

There is no bad music, just bad listener.
(Past a certain level of course)

maybe I’m not the BEST listener


But 80s and hair metal IS bad music.

 

[GreyBeard]

To me there are 2 kinds of music. What I connect with and what I don't

 

[bearhart74]

back in 1973 a Mexican dude and a Cambodian girl recorded the only good song ever made. Trust me everything else is garbage. I happen to have the only copy and i'm not sharing.

Is there something wrong with lustmord?
I mean, it's not for everyone but I wouldn't call it bad/not music.

 

[Dincrest]

Insert the classic Blues Brothers snippet of both kinds of music: country and western.



As for bad music... well, I'd call Lars's "bangin' on a trashcan" snare drum tone on the St. Anger album unpleasantly dissonant to the point of being unlistenable.

I have yet to consider a single piece of computer generated music, such as used in much of the RAP world, to be good.

Computers may be a good way to avoid paying musicians; but they are not good at making music.

Are you talking about music actually generated by computers (AI) or are you talking about music made exclusively with computers?
