why do some people hate guitar driven music?

[replika]

as in, saying it’s too “outdated” and “loud”.

well the only genres i can think of that don't have guitars are rap and maybe jazz. so it must be people that only listen to their 1 genre and hate anything else

Lots of jazz has guitar. Lots of rap uses guitar samples.

Many people take absolutist stances against things for stupid reasons. Lots of the guitar music people hated synths. Lots of the synth people claim to hate guitars. A lot of people wouldn't be able to pick out which sounds in modern music were produced by what instruments. A bass guitar can sound the same as a synth. An electric six-string can sound like a wall of echoing noise. Etc.

it's not helped by the fact that rock music hasn't really been in the mainstream lately

I don't get why people say this. It's not as dominant as it once was, but of course rock (and other guitar-heavy music) is still "mainstream."

not as dominant, for sure. it was poor wording on my part, i admit.

Yeah, nothing personal. It's a meme people haven't been able to shake for... 15 years or so. "Shake it Off" by Taylor Swift is basically pop-rock (in the big scheme of things). Modern country might sell itself as an "alternative" to coastal music, but it's definitely big enough to be "mainstream."
