OMG I hate V Snares. Utterly. Talk about masturbatory, what pointless, showy crap that stuff is. Ugh.

LOL. I like some Bola (Shapes, basically that's about it...) but you hit the nail on the head here.
Also, I agree with you on Trip Hop. Except I like Tricky, at least Maxinquaye and PMT. All the rip off trip hop is as bad as the rip off drum n bass though. Cheesy lounge music that in its day was primarily consumed by overpaid fat white guys with too much hairgel and shiny button up shirts.

Hating on Richard Devine and V-Snares seems way too easy though. I really dig quite a bit of their stuff although certainly large chunks of both of their catalogs is total wank.

I also hate retro IDM. Rehashing the 80s? Dude, EBM/industrial musicy already went down that road. BLEH.

Battles? I love Queen, but hate the rest of prog rock. So quit doing all that mathy shit. M83, too.

HAHAHAHA mlbot hates EVERYTHING!

hate hate! HATE!
what else needs hate?
ummmm what do i hate?
i dont know enough about anything really
errrrrrrr
tell me what to hate!

When I was younger I hated a lot of music.

Since then I like a lot of the music I used to hate.

In my old age I find it hard to get terribly upset over some one's music - it's all subjective innit?

It's not like I'm forced to listen to something I don't like (aside from occasions in the supermarket or wherever).

hmmmm supermarkets
fakeness
i hate that
people singing in a fake happy voice when their mind is full of dollar signs and not happyness (probably- what am i? psychic?)

I've tried to like kid606 on many occasions but it never happened.

I find that I have generally less hate too, but if anything it's become more focused. I find it really obnoxious when people do the same old cookie cutter shit that everyone else of their age/class/scene is doing and puts on this front or attitude that it's something unique or special or genuine. bland, cheesy, and kind of dishonest. often this seems justified by cuteness or positivity, which is all the more gross to me because mostly that too is superficial.

when you admit (to yourself) that you are just another kid doing the same thing all the other kids are doing is when it seems that what's really unique is allowed to come out.

i live next door to a supermarket. they usually play a lot of new wave hits on the radio. so i dont mind.

I like one kid606 song, "If I Had a Happy Place, This Would Be It".
