People Online Share Unpopular Opinions On Musicians, Genres, And The Industry, So Here’re 30 Spot-On Ones
There’s a handful of things that you just don’t debate if you want to remain friends with people because there are as many opinions as there are people on this lovely planet and it won’t necessarily mean you will agree with them.
This includes everything from politics to religion to Monopoly rules. And, well, you’ve guessed it, music is also in this list.
Reddit has been sharing unpopular opinions on music, whether specifically aimed at artists, genres, or even the music industry in general.
Check out the curated list below, and while you’re at it, let us know your unpopular opinions on music and anything else pertaining to it in the comment section below. Oh, and be nice!

Beyoncé is overrated
Sometimes producers should have more credit than artists
Most mainstream musicians focus more on their theatrics and personas instead of music so a lot of it sounds the same and it’s bland
Instrumentals are heavily underrated
500 years of dominating the classical charts has already established that; can't see how that's flying in the face of public opinion.
Elton John doesn't get anywhere near the credit he deserves as an all time great. He should be discussed as a Top 5 solo career all time with only Elvis and MJ really being clear cut above him. But no one ever even brings him up in those discussions. I've never seen anyone able to write a coherent and borderline hit level song as quickly as Elton. Give him a sheet of words, they don't even have to be lyrics, and you'll have a hit in 5 minutes. If you don't believe me search "Elton John oven manual song" on YouTube.
Soundtracks from tv show, movies and videogames are as good if not better than original music.
Final Fantasy, Dishonored, Elder Scrolls, Bioshock, Dragon Age, D:BH, Shadow Warrior, Bastion (so incredible!), Brutal Legend, Yakuza... I could go on, but I would like to hear the video game OSTs others enjoy.
You can still be considered a fan if you’ve only listened to one song but still respect the band. It’s so frustrating seeing people call others fake fans for only knowing like 3 songs. It doesn’t matter as long as you enjoy the music
For the most part the past 2 decades have been more about the marketability and/or ability of a person to be controversial than actual musicianship and talent.
Every time somebody says that rock is dead I laugh really hard because I’ve heard it before... in 1978 from disco kids.
Gatekeeping is just as toxic in the music fan base culture as it is in any other fan base. I don’t need to know everything about someone to enjoy their music. Thanks, though.
People who only listen to one genre of music are suspect to me!
My 15yr old cousin filled her Blues & Jazz folder on her Ipod with rap music. Fooled us all lol
Blasting your music makes no sense to me. I hate loud music. Play it at a volume you can hear it at. That’s all you need. Your neighbors don’t need to hear what you’re listening to.
Listening to music in languages you don't understand is far more enjoyable than listening to music in languages you do because you get to enjoy the human presence without having to engage with their problems.
I prefer songs in my language so I can sing along to it, but if a song has a good beat, tempo etc then I don't care what language it's in.
That I never grew out of my edgy phase because I still enjoy punk and alt rock
I grew up in the 2000's so my go-to's are: Green Day, Rise Against, The Offspring, Fall Out Boy, Sum 41, Sick Puppies, Paramore, Thousand Foot Krutch, Tonight Alive, Avenged 7x, Red, and Evanescence. There's more but that's a good list. I also have expanded my tastes, but I will always love punk/rock
Me three. Someone else who knows about Red. FINALLY!
Load More Replies...Erm.... I don't see a single punk band listed! I see a lot of Alt rock, grunge and pop-punk revival. Punk is The Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Damned, The Runaways, The Saints, The Ramones.
None of that is punk. The Sex Pistols is punk. MC5 is punk. The Misfits, Iggy Pop, The Clash, The Damned, The Adverts...that's punk.
Out of that list there are MAYBE two actual punk rock bands, though: Green Day and The Offspring, and even then I wouldn't be 100% confident in calling them "punk rock". The rest are in absolutely no way "punk rock". Get back with me when you've listened to The Clash, 999, The Damned, Dead Kennedys, Circle Jerks, Black Flag, and (in a rare contemporary example) Rage Against the Machine, and then we'll talk about whether you actually do like punk rock.
The Offspring started out punk, but none of their radio stuff is punk. Green Day is pop punk. Love your list of actual punk, though. 999's "Obsessed" is one of my all-times.
Load More Replies...ahahahah those are not edgy or punk rock. those are main stream radio music. Punk is Propaghandi, The Expoited, Agiasnt all authority, Lars and the Bastards, 90lb wuss, Screeching weasel, jugheads revenge, AFI was really punk before the gender change; than they were just emo goth music. Guttermouth are still going and still vegan and making inappropriate songs, Lag wagon, Social Distortion, Minor Threat, Bad Religion,
Amen! Man, that original hardcore era was fantastic and Black Flag was the best of them all. Greg Ginn is easily my favorite guitar player and I never go far without a little Black Flag (if I may steal a line from The Mats). Rock at its purest and finest! I see kids today wearing The Bars and I love that they truly get and appreciate the music, but can't help thinking, ahhh, if only you were there!
Load More Replies...I grew up in the 70s/80s. Your "punk and alt rock" is my watered-down fluff.
Me neither. I still wear my black jeans and band tees. Why should you dress different just because you're old?!
There's absolutely no reason why people can't enjoy multiple music styles. When you browse my collection you'll find it ranges from classical music to hard rock and from new age to heavy metal. There's a time for almost every music style, but some styles should be banned because of mental cruelty and being a crime against humanity.
Those were my daughter's favorite. I had a chance to hear these groups.
I am 37 and I still get asked my id to buy alcohol, my piercings and colourful dreadlocks probably misleading lol
I went punk before I was old enough to need a training bra, and alt rock followed. I'll give it up when I'm dead, and not before. If it's there, I'm there.
Snap. I'm still prone to listening to the same albums I did 20 years ago. And why not, they're awesome!
Those are mostly 20 year old artist - good but not on the cutting edge anymore. It may be unpopular, but BIllie Eilish is the current edgy.
Urgh, I hate her music! Can't stand the way she sings, and it's all so boring
Load More Replies...my edgy phase was my vocaloid phase. i LOVE punk and alt rock tho. my favorites are Green Day, Paramore, the Killers, All-American Rejects, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Barns Courtney, Cage the Elephant, lovelytheband, and Beck. really whatever comes on 98.7 which is the best station in LA and i will fight you on that.
Bands are mostly dead, because music execs would rather deal with a single talents.
You just named all my preferred band from my teenage years (A7X 4ever🤟)
Please post the rest of this list! There's good stuff here that I'd never heard of before!
Same. I don't get why everyone thinks it's just some passing phase, like no Denise if you want to listen to your music about beer and girls and sex with your trucks or whatever have it. Leave me be.
there is some modern punk like kennyhoopla so you dont have to re listen punk songs, and green day made a new song as well
Many of those are among my go-to's as well. But you forgot In This Moment, which is probably my all time fave rock/metal kinda band. I love Maria Brink <3
When I was a kid listening to heavy metal, my mother always said I would grow out of it, I am 43 and still waiting for that to happen. My music tastes have gotten more diverse over the years but I still enjoy listening to metal.
53 year old woman here, I will be a headbanger for life. Trivium, Lamb of God, Children of Bodom, DevilDriver, Nonpoint.
Load More Replies...clash, sex pistols, X....me, too, earlier. but i don't really think it's an unpopular opinion that fuddy duddy dickheads don't get the fact that you can love one thing they don't like...and still like a lot of stuff other folks (including them) like, too.
Dookie is one of the all-time best albums! It came out in my childhood and made me really love music.
Load More Replies...For those who enjoy those bands and intense lyrics, I would like to recommend Beartooth.
I like a lot of those groups also, especially the offspring and fall out boy.
George Harrison was the best Beatle and had the best career after they broke up music wise.
Harrison continued to innovate with great lyrics and melody. This is the man who gave us "While my guitar gently weeps."
Eminem is very talented and I can appreciate that. However, to me he just sounds like a p!@#$d off chihuahua.
Mariah Carey is in fact a musical genius.
What I mean is that for a singer with that kind of voice to have written, co-arranged, and co-produced 95% of her own material is pretty incredible, especially when you take into consideration the way her vocals are layered, her knack for engineering her own vocal climaxes and the way she weaves in different flourishes in each register. Its like she’s paints a canvas with her voice. I simply don't hear as many artists fill an entire song with a range of vocalizations the way she does despite the trashy diva image which I suppose turns most people off.
Hamilton is so massively overrated it hurts
Hamilton is great, but this is true. people act like it's the greatest thing to ever grace the broadway stage, but in reality it's not. but it is very wonderful!
I'm so f!@#$%g tired of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. They play on every radio station from classic rock to contemporary to weird alternative stations. I can't escape them, and all of their songs sound the same, and I've heard every one a thousand times, I'm just sick of them.
Kpop as a genre demands intense amounts of talent. You can watch one of their live performances and it would be clear. That being said, i despise the industry and how it treats its artists.
You don't need to be an amazing singer to be a worthwhile, talented artist. Taylor Swift can carry a tune but she isn't incredible, yet she really puts on a show and is a great songwriter. I don't really care if an artist autotunes or edits the sound of their voice, especially if it works with the song. Can't sing or play instruments but youve got Garageband and Autotune DOWN? Cool. You can still make good music in my eyes.
I never got the hype for 'Stairway to Heaven' being some all-time great song.
It's a good song but that's about as far as I'd go with it.
As with all Zeppelin songs, it's about all aspects of the composition, music vocal and lyrics. Part of you opinion may be the overplay. Try the song performed by Heart. Both Bonams and Paige are amazing. Sorry, have to agree to disagree.
Indie music nowadays has been relegated to Ukuleles, random timed beats and nasal voices
The first Limp Bizkit album wasn't bad. S#$t went downhill fairly quick after that.
Same goes for Kid Rock.
Huey Lewis and the News. Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.
In '87, Huey released this; Fore!, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip To Be Square". A song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends. It's also a personal statement about the band itself.
Jazz is s#$t. It's a group of alleged musicians playing different tunes at the same time. Jazz aficionados that try and claim there's some sort of genius to making a god awful racket talk more s#$%e than wine experts.
You have good jazz and bad jazz - bad jazz is bad, good jazz is good.
Music piracy made music better.
Money as a motivation to make music was basically removed from the equation. Nowadays, the people who make music do so mostly because they're artists. Loads of musicians these days are compelled to create to express themselves, because making music is in their soul, not to pander to an audience and make cash.
Obviously this doesn't apply to mainstream music. Luckily for all of us with Spotify, it's now super easy to ignore trashy mainstream nonsense, dig deep and find some real gems.
This one was written by a choosy beggar. Apparently singers should sing for exposure. For free.

Here is my very controversial and very unpopular music opinion. You're free to downvote me, but I warned you. Country Roads and Hotel California are so overplayed. Pretty much like All I Want for Christmas, but at least that one is only during Christmas time. There, I said it.
i like hotel california, but i agree. they are both overplayed way to much
Load More Replies...You want a real unpopular opinion: The Beatles were just another boy band
The Beatles were so groundbreaking in many ways. They were the first true rock *band.* Elvis, Buddy Holly, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, etc, were stars, of course, but the emphasis was on their voice, not the music. With the Beatles it was a collective effort that produced hundreds of great, original, catchy songs.
Load More Replies...Most of these are not unpopular to anyone who knows the basic things about music, though. Unpopular would be saying that David Gilmour ruined Pink Floyd, or that Wings is way more interesting as a band than The Beatles got to be. Or that ACDC died with Bon Scott and Brian Johnson's voice is fkcn annoying and a disgrace to the legacy of Scott. Unpopular is aknowledging Courtney Love is just as or maybe more talented than Kurt Cobain was; or that Kim Deal was the only talented musician of The Pixies. Or how The Clash sold out and became a pop band after the 70s... Or the fact that Amy Winehouse was just another junkie who could sing, though not as well as everyone likes to think. In that same genre, Beth Hart kicks the living shït out of her, as do many others.
Very true. Usually these "unpopular" opinions are a compilation of things you see on the Internet pretty frequently and most people seem to agree.
Load More Replies...my unpopular opinion is I hate rap music it is people talking very fast about inappropriate things while wearing pants halfway down their legs it is not enjoyable for me
omg, thank you. Why must so much of rap and hip hop be about sex, drugs, violence and such? I understand there's a genre of people who enjoy this and I don't have to listen to it if I don't want to, unless the person sitting at the red light next to me is blasting his music...but still, I just don't get it.
Load More Replies...*too underrated. Bastille should be capitalized.
Load More Replies...More unpopular than you think: Let people enjoy their music (as long as it doesn't, like, promote murder or they're little kids). I don't like kpop. Lots of people do. Metal/rock makes me feel like someone is sawing my head in two. A lot of people like those genres (and I might too, if it wasn't for my sensory issues). Music isn't automatically bad just because teenagers like it, and even if it DOES suck, what's the harm on letting them enjoy things?
Christmas music is the worst. Honestly, I hate it and it makes me want to listen to nails on a chalkboard FOR RELIEF. I have only ever liked God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, and I'm not even religious, it's just the least terrible one I've heard. Even then, I only like the slowed versions.
My favorite Christmas song is “Merry Christmas , I F****d Your Snowman.” (Yes, it’s a real song.) I prefer anti Christmas songs myself.
Load More Replies...I do like that more singers seem to sing in their natural accent now though, rather than just an American one.
Load More Replies...Dave Matthews Band is talented, but boring unless you see them in concert. Their studio albums put me to sleep.
I feel this. Like, I get why Nirvana (and Kurt Cobain) where a thing when it was new and yes, Kurt Cobain is a tragic story but the music sounds quite boring for me.
Load More Replies...My unpopular musical opinion is that people devote far too much time, energy and seriousness to their musical opinions. Music exists for us to enjoy, and if someone enjoys a particular song/artist, who are we to hate on it?
I think Adele may be a very nice woman. That being said, I don't like her music. Every song is I love you, we're breaking up, I'm sorry we broke up, I want you to come back etc.. it sounds a bit boring and the same over and over .
Not really unpopular but anyway: I miss the time where music videos where treated like little pieces of art. Nowadays I feel like a lot off people design them to press emotional buttons and to earn more money or they simply don't exist. Also: why has such a big part of Radio Songs to be about love? Like, I get that its a beautiful thing to weite about but there are sooo many other human emotions and stories who deserve to be told.
Unpopular Opinion (I think, please correct me if I'm wrong): David Bowie-inspired a LOT of artists, such as Annie Lennox, Supergrass, and others. Even some artists have Bowie influences in their songs. I personally LOVE David Bowie, and after listening to him for a long time, I can hear some songs that have gotten inspired by him.
How many hip hop/rap artists are able to play an instrument these days? Legit question. Not hating.
Hardly any. Technology has really ruined musicianship. Many rap artists use keyboards in the studio, but most can't really play. Maybe couple of chords - which they typically don't even know the name of. They mostly just press keys to make sounds or noises. Being a skilled, practiced musician is no longer required to record music today. You can even be a terrible singer - that can also be fixed with technology
Load More Replies...When it comes to music, or art in general actually, you must insist on selfishness. You don't write a song to make money, you write it to make you happy. And if it makes others happy? That's great. If it doesn't? Too bad. Apologize to no one! Being selfish isn't greedy. Greedy is commercializing music.
I really dislike Michael Jackson and all his music. His squealing annoys the hell out of me.
Some of these were amusing, I kinda wish there were some more specific unpopular opinions though. Mine would be that Country music doesn't quite exist as it once did. Not that I enjoy it, but the older generation of the genre had more sense of identity and as opposed to what we have now. Doesn't help my workplace has pop country and other crap pop on all the time.
Lynyrd Skynyrd worst song ever "Sweet Home Alabama and Free bird" sick of those songs. Some artist get into "fights" for publicity. I don't think Katy Perry and Taylor Swift ever hated each other. Because if they did they should have had a knock down drag out fight at least once it was all publicity never face to face so when they made nice everyone was like ahh and they both were laughing to the bank with all the downloads adding up. Country isn't about country life now they are all people that have never lived outside a city and can't make it in other genres. The new stuff can be summed up by this song Parked by the Lake. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_zS_uiPWxs
Here's the most unpopular opinion that'll get many people offended: 1)Liking metal or rock doesnt make you cool 2)Mocking/shaming people music taste isnt cool 3)Nirvana,the beatle,queen,metallica is extremly super fcking overrated 4)People who listen to metal or rock will bitch about everything 5)Theres a lotta satanic metal band in any metal genre so metal is somehow satanic 6)Country fans are the chillest music fans 7)A7x is metal (this comment is created by someone who listen to pop,metal,punk and rock music
If i hear "unpopular opinion",i know that most of it won't be unpopular
I have one, idk how unpopular this is but kids bop or pop or whatever it is ruins good songs
Opinions are like a-s-sholes: everyone's got one and they all stink!
Unpopular Opinion: Music doesn't need complicated chords, solos that push the instruments to their limits, or fancy timing to be "good". Some of the absolute best songs are just the I, IV, and V chords in 4/4. Engaging music is about sharing an emotion, not demonstrating that you're a virtuoso.
A lot.of these were very stupid. Mainstream artists are not as different as old school artists, only the industry is more competitive. Albums are arranged in an order for a reason. they are like an opera, they are supposed to tell a story.
having sex with someone of the same sex, that's gay. Anything else, NOPE!
As an ex-professional metal & blues musician, performing -whether with life-long friends or perfect strangers- is like speaking a language that only you understand. Kinda hard to explain, actually....
YEs, the worst thing about church imo. Actually the opera singer wannabe choir mistress too!
Load More Replies...The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a pathetic joke. They haven’t inducted Link Wray & Joe Cocker as members but Suzi Quatro is there. What a joke.
Here are mine: 1. Rap is not music, it is a cultural expression, but not music 2. Reggae is mostly all the same 3. Too many Featurings, signs to me that no artist can do enough themselves and or shameless marketing 4. What did I do wrong to deserve so much "losing my religion "? 5. Blonde dyed divas product is not music. Concept extender to black (whitewashed) divas too 6.Maroon5 is a revenge from nature to mankind for being such a bad species 7. Rock is dead, this time for real. When any music form has a predictable formula, it's dead 8. With age, somehow you lose the ability to understand and enjoy music 9. Stone temple pilots. I hated them. Bad
#8... I've been playing guitar for 20 years, and the older I get, the more I appreciate the role music has in my life. I'm sorry you've had the opposite feeling.
