I'm very wary of saying I hate a particular genre, because inevitably I will then think of an exception.
For example: generally I can't stand disco, but there are a few great songs that were made for the dance floor.
Also, I don't call boybands a genre, surely it depends on what they are singing? Sure, you can dismiss the concept behind creation of boybands and girlbands, but from time to time, possibly by accident, they will do something worthwhile. The monkees started out as a boyband, but they later gained a certain degree of respect because they took control of their artistic direction and actually wrote some of their songs and played instruments.And remember, it could be argued that The Beatles began as a boyband.
