I dunno... but I don't think anyone would really cross their arms and frown if sitting in concert watching the Beatles perform "Hey Jude." The song just screams for a happy singalong. you're a liar if you say you'd hate that

Funny you pick one of my most hated songs of all time. A plodding body with a fadeout that lasts far too long :^D

You have to go for less mainstream and hipster-approved stuff to find anything that comes close to qualifying. For example, My Bloody Valentine or A Tribe Called Quest.

btw my dad and anyone else that loves 80's glam metal hates Nirvana and anything related.

EDIT: And I just have to say that while I can at least tolerate most of what has been mentioned (a good portion I enjoy), I don't like Weezer at all. They exemplify the college-student-with-a-guitar-thinking-he's-the-next-singer-songwriter-genius-romantic-of-our-era kind of indie rock that plagues the campus park benches.

Dude you just clap your hands and sing along.. in a room where the music is live and everyone else is doing it.. you're gonna be loving it too.

Do you have one genre of music that you love above all else?

I don't particularly like Weezer...

I've never met anyone that doesn't like Coheed and Cambria.

Not really. I have favorite genres at different times, and they often change. Currently, it's electronic ambient, and space music. I've been enjoying not thinking about the music, and just having it create moods and soundscapes. Previously I was listening to a lot of post rock, and pre big band jazz.

Disregarding my general dislike the Beatles Hey Jude is god awful, the issue with your statement though is I would never be caught dead at a concert where the beatles were playing and if I was, then yes I would sit with a scowl on my face because it really is trash.

What about classical stuff like Mozart and such? Can people really hate that?

I think they're ok, but really? I see people shit on them all the time. Their fanbase has crossover between progressive metal, alternative, and mainstream rock and as a result many people diametrically opposed to their style are forced into contact with their fans. As a consequence: hate.

People who say they hate the Beatles simply have to be ignorant of the amazing, often ground-breaking breadth of the entire canon of their work. For instance, which Beatles genre are you talking about when you say you hate them?

The catchy, fun, initial pop Beatles? The wildly innovative psychedelic Beatles , to which all other bands who came after owe a debt? The beautifully melodic, heart-breakingly crafted Beatles of the White Album? The resurgent and lovable Beatles of Abbey Road?

Yeah, that John Lennon, what a hack!

You may think you're trendy and super cereal hip uttering such shallow, arrant nonsense.

You're not.

I just don't think it's possible for everyone to like a group. Peoples tastes vary greatly.

For instance, not a group - but does anyone hate Amazing Grace played on bagpipes? I'm sure there are some out there.

As for the Beatles, I don't hate them, but I certainly don't listen to them by choice. The wife on the other hand loves them. It's all opinion. Remember, people who grew up in the 20's hated the Beatles ;p

Or it could just be that I've never heard a Beatles song I like.

I "hate" Michael Jackson, and know or have known people who have said they "hate" PF, the Beatles, or the Beach Boys.

But I have never heard anyone say they hate Stevie Wonder. Has anyone?

That's playing the sympathy card.

I am not really a Weezer fan. I really dislike U2 though, fucking "HELLO HELLOOOOO HOLA".

Does anyone hate The Who? Personally they're one of the only 'classic' rock band I genuinely like and since they don't have the huge following of Beatles/Zep/Stones I don't think they're quite as 'divisive'.

Maybe The Doors for kind of the same reasons.

And do you count Hendrix? I don't know if I've ever heard someone dislike Jimi.

My Bloody Valentine sucks and I hate it. Real talk.

Maybe Johnny Cash. Old people like him cause he's white and dead, young people like him cause he gave the finger in pictures.
