Most of the time, slasher horror movies. They tend to be more annoying than scary to me. I might watch it if it's a classic, like Halloween.

I also can't stand crime dramas. Again, there are exceptions, but generally I find realistic crime too emotionally exhausting to watch.

The only other one I can think of is teen dramas. Too angsty.

Zombie movies. Honestly, there's only so much that can be done with the same thing again and again and again...

I'm also really tired of cartoons with nothing but toilet humor and bad animation.  

[Frostgage 7,972]

Horror films will never ever appeal to me. I know how fake they are but they still freak me out xD

[powerpuff-tsubasa 447]

rom-coms. boy does these shows and film get old so fast? not to mention the poor writing and humor value inserted there

Soap operas, romance, reality tv shows, and pretty much any sitcom from Nickelodeon, Disney, etc. Nope. Not for me.

[Here No Longer 5,270]

Just can't get into:

• Horror films
• Soap Operas
• Reality TV
• Sitcoms (even though I used to like them)

[TBD 17,228]

Romance is the only genres I can't get into beside the phantom of the opera. 

[EpicEnergy 22,074]

Comedies, reality TV, and soap operas.

[Splashee 28,537]

New style advertising/commercial. Just not my thing! That means shows that are built to have more commercial breaks or even make you think you are watching content when you are actually watching a commercial. There are many shows crossing this boundary, like Talent shows, and Youtube shows, and even Twitch streams!

[ExplosionMare 18,007]

I have always thought horror movies were over the top, disturbing, and stupid, so I could never watch those even though I love horror games now. I also can’t do anything strictly romance because it all looks fake and idealistic. 

[Tom Gallagher 33,521]

Anything anime. Everypony’s gonna hate me for this but I don’t understand the whole craze. 

[ToastedScone 382]

I don't know if it counts as a genre, but anime/other media with a harem kind of plot. They feel really fake and the girls never have any character outside of "I think the male protagonist is hot".

That, and end-of-the-world style movies where the main characters ALWAYS live! It's the end of the world, HOW do these people survive EVERY SINGLE TIME?!

In general anything that doesn't somehow involve supernatural or alien things. More specifically, though, I really hate romantic comedies, any kind of soap opera, or reality TV.

[Fluttershutter 2,118]

I'm not big on police and crime shows.

[Vefka 1,499]

I could never get into reality shows on TV (back in the day when I was little and my mom used to watch them).

Also I don't get sitcoms like Friends, I just hate the concept of neverending cycle of mini-stories that don't affect anything

Horror movies are just a screamer roller coasters. While games can scare you in multiple ways and build the atmosphere, movies just constantly stutter you with predictable jumpscares

Marvel superhero movies. I don't know what exactly but something's wrong with them. Tho I like more serious and grounded ones like Logan

I can’t stand what I like to call “vulgar TV”, where the only purpose is to be funny through swearing, bodily humor, and occasionally a lot of gore.

[DixonTheAdversary 1,631]

Fantasy stuff. I just never cared for the whole medieval Knights and Dragons type stuff.

Sports, video gaming, and poker all have numerous TV shows devoted to them. I threw in beer because it's yuck.

Okay. Technically there are shows about beer too. 

[ZiggWheelsManning 7,361]

Reality shows, there are just too much of them  

[Shadowmoth2011 146]

Horror films - not because they're at all badly made or cliche or anything like that, but mostly cause I just feel uncomfortable and sad watching them. I hate seeing people suffer or die, especially in live-action and seeing what happens to people in these movies just brings me down a bit. 

[Sparklefan1234 161,860]

I know people LOVE horror movies but they don't appeal to me. 

[IronM17 5,145]

Well, there are a few genres I can not get into it. Slasher movies, splatter movies, gore movies, romances, musicals (but it is ok for me in cartoons, not a fan of it, but ok) and dance movies. I am also not a big fan of pure action movies. In other genres, it depends on the movie. Especially in the genre comedy, were are really good and funny comedy movies, but also really boring, stupid, cringy or even icky comedy movies. And for shows, it is mostly casting and dating shows.
