Don't know what'd be unpopular, but I'll take a cue from XYCat's post and probably prove the point, saying same-y stuff is just fine as long as it's done well, and striving to be original or experiment in the stuff you actually release harms more often than not. Very, very few can do original and good at the same time.

Or, on a current topic, Nightwish can still release awesome music, and has done so in every "era", albeit mostly on 2nd try (Imaginaerum and now Human :II: Nature).

And growls absolutely ruin the songs they're on. And there's plenty of metal where that's a pity...

Breja: Nickelback is far, faaaaar from being the worst band out there, and frankly I don't understand where this reputation comes from.
Same, always confused me. I mean, you can find awful acts wherever you look, but what I happened to hear of theirs never struck me as fitting that description.

Breja: A lot of the, shall we say, veneer of heavy metal - all the leather, studs, skulls, album covers with demons stuff etc. - always felt a bit try hard and poser-ish to me.
*nods* And the unreadable band logo fonts...

teceem: Non musical music? I can think of many examples, a lot more 'extreme' than Aphex Twin. Here's a documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKPFggCNt_o
Me, I love that stuff!
Nah I was trying to be make a silly joke with my first comment. I wasn't refering to electronic, abstract, minimalist or music with no melody.

By non-music or songs I don't consider music I was thinking more about crap like Despacito, Gangam style, or most rap / hip-hop, which I've found out it's actually a very unpopular opinion :p

What about John Cage's 4'33"? Would that qualify?
hiphop is not a genre it is a torture technic

That's exactly right I honestly don't know what the KIDDIES get out of it all I get is a friggin Migraine.

Lately I get instant splitting headaches from getting up too damn quickly!

Mine would be that the music you like doesn't define you as a person and that you should listen to whatever you enjoy.

And now for a saucy confession: I always change stations when Bohemian Rhapsody is on the radio. I like most Queen songs, just not that one. It feels like trying too hard.

Breja: Nickelback is far, faaaaar from being the worst band out there, and frankly I don't understand where this reputation comes from. I don't think they're particularly good either, but come on. There's shit out there that makes them sound like Rolling Stones in comparison.
It's a low-effort meme, just like hating on Internet Explorer, No Man's Sky or the last season of Game of Thrones to score "easy" points.
My unpopular opinion about music: There's good stuff in every genre, music isn't something to fight over, and people who hate on or complain about certain types of music sound like immature teenagers and grumpy old geezers. ;P
I generally dislike Remixes. Never heard one I liked. I also dislike most electronic music.

White people should never, ever rap.

I sometimes like movie/game soundtracks more than the movie/game it's from.

I think that's hardly unique. I mean, the Star Wars prequels have good music and I don't think anyone would argue otherwise. Even the Wing Commander movie had a good soundtrack.

Lyrics often get in the way of a perfectly good track; some as far as to ruin it. Why spend millions of dollars mastering an album when you get the lyrics from the dollar store?

Less is more. Two square waves, a noise channel, and a wave. Or as was shown in the case of Doctor Who, a noise generator, a single band, and a lot of audio splicing.

On Worship Music: If I can Find & Replace the major deity/subject matter out and the song fails to change in any significant way (it continues to make sense), that wasn't a worship song, just a tawdry love song.

It sounds like a Hollywood Soundtrack: Too many games have a basically interchangeable soundtrack that's made of boring bombastic music. This is slightly better than the Licensed Soundtrack, but only for the mere fact that it won't entangle the music rights with a bramble of death.

That iTunes ruined the music industry. That Spotify is not a worthwhile substitute for owning physical media. That CDs are the best overall physical format for music over vinyl.

And that everyone who posted about extreme metal so far has terrible taste and/or perspective in it. What, my opinion on this is definitely "unpopular" within this topic!

That sometimes happens. For example, it is, perhaps the case, with Final Fantasy 7 for me. The game is bad, but there's some good music in there, like Cinco de Chocobo, the introduction theme (used for the attack on the reactor, I believe, and makes reference to FF4's Red Wings theme), and of course the famous final boss theme.
