music Anypony else just despise Christmas music?

[FirstPonySpectre 176]

I'm probably in the minority here but I just can't STAND Christmas music. It drives me insane! I hate it! It's all the same to me. It's slow and boring. T_T

same here if i here my neighbors are playing christmas music i just play dubstep louder

[Ash Windheart 167]

Only if it's on for like hours... THEN IT CAN GO DIE! 

[Dark Horse 12,799]

I enjoy hearing it again for maybe a day, then the same top 10 songs just loop over and over again for the entire month, and i'm practically begging the shopping center stores to not be pipping in Christmas FM over their radios.

[Sir Hugsalot 8,619]

It annoys me a bit, but it is probably because I expect something different from music itself. It is happy, cheerful and lyrics are all about snow, christmas, santa and that kind of stuff. Almost opposite of what I like listening to. 

 

But I have to admit that I enjoy Let It Snow xD 

[LZRD WZRD 1,929]

It's all so over played and it drives me crazy!

[WindyParadise 59]

I'm fine with hearing all of them a few times at first but when they are playing for more than an entire week I can't do it anymore. It doesn't help that I have to listen to it at work all the time.

[Vox 870]

I don't like most of it, the only ones i can't say i get tired of are the classics by Sinatra or Martin.

[FirstPonySpectre 176]

My parents never stop playing it. I have to listen to Blue Stahli on the loudest volume to block it out! 

T_T

I just wish there was more snow. So I could clean up the snow and singing Winter Wrap Up as I shovel all the snow. But sadly there is no snow.

[Plato's Pony 455]

I don't like Christmas music at all.  It's WAY too cheerful for my taste.  However, I do like Carol of the Bells.

[Mand'alor Dash 2,224]

I actually love it. Part of the reason why this is my favorite time of the year is that it's the ONLY time of the year when the radio plays music that I actually enjoy.

[Pomfritter 165]

I like Christmas music during the first week of December. After that it's overkill. Maybe if it was more than like 10 songs that are just redone over and over. 

[Scootaloodle 1,621]

I think a lot of them are good songs, and I don’t mind it’s happy nature. But it would be nice to have something fresh instead of the same old song’s year in year out.

 

I’m a bit sick of hearing Wham, Slade, Dean Martin and Brenda Lee or covers of there song’s.

 

Someone should write an original 21^st century Christmas song in a music style that’s more contemporary and different than what any of the guys mentioned above were doing, EDM or rap or something idk.

[FizzyGreen 908]

I don't like chrismas music. Just no. It feels so tasteless, and everyone sings it just because.

 

I mean if people like it, i don't. It sucks. It's boring :I

It's the worst thing ...and nobody should sing any of it.

 

Okay, no, if people like it it's fine. It annoys me, but, like me, i'm never going to say anything.

[thatonepony12 88]

okay i lied i like one christmas song XD

I thought I was the only one who hates Christmas music. The past few years, I've been liking Christmas music less and less, now I can't even stand it anymore. There are a few Christmas songs that I tolerate, but others...

If I had music to stab ppl to it would be Christmas music. Absolutely despise it lol.

[Neutral 1,185]

well i don't really care about christmas music. i would just let it play and as long as people are happy I'm not going to give a damn. however if people aren't happy then i would not give a damn.

[SparklingSwirls 21,261]

I don't like most Christmas music either, but I think I would like it more if it didn't start playing at the beginning of November. I don't like going into stores or turning on the radio and hearing Christmas music almost two months ahead of Christmas. -_-

 

As others have said, I too get tired of the same old Christmas songs that play on repeat for weeks. :/

 

My favorite Christmas song is "Mit hjerte alltid vanker", and since it's in Norwegian it never plays in the US

[SasQ 1,355]

I find most Christmas carols beautiful and I like the mood they make in my heart.

 

BUT.

 

I just can't stand when they stuff all these songs down my throat by playing the same songs over and over in my radio! THIS is what I hate in Christmas music. Not the musics itself, but how they force it into me.

 

Especially when 99% of Christmas songs my radio plays are American classics, when we have so many beautiful Polish Christmas carols. But no, they won't play Polish songs. They won't even play German or Russian or French or even Icelandic. It is always American ;P Blaaargh!... ;(%%% <throws up>

 

I wonder if Americans, for a change, play foreign songs instead?

I guess not. So if you're looking for some new (for you) Christmas music, then perhaps it would be a good idea to try these? Here are some examples of Polish Christmas carols:

 

 

 

(There is a playlist overlaid on each video, so turn the annotations on if you want to skip over the playlist quickly.)

 

Don't know about you, but I find these to be beautiful. Especially "Gore gwiazda Jezusowi" in this version.

It can get on my nerves, hearing the same tunes belted out daily for a whole month, but if I can get some breaks from them in that while then I'm kinda glad to hear them They remind me that I'm getting closer to the main event of my favourite season, so the excitement kinda dampens how irritating they can be. I'm not sure if I'd want the classic music I hear to be replaced with something more modern though... something different would be great, but it wouldn't feel like Christmas without Mariah Carey's voice appearing everywhere :/

[Erethiel 41]

I hate nearly the entire season, for one reason: I cannot stand how cold it is. And this song describes it perfectly(language warning now)https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lk2wqYPlLoc

[zaqwert11 70]

i know how you feel. i also hate christmas music or more like i just hate christmas 

[There is only Ditzy. 292]

Well, usually, but I sure love Johnny Mathis. His voice is something of a curiosity to me: it's extremely grating and delightfully whimsical at the same fucking time. How does he do that?!
