Dislike / Block a Music Genre


I want to remove R and B from the music type I like. I mistakenly chose it. Coming from Tidal this is the last thing I want from Deezer.
Hi @RHP, you can't change the favourites genres after you selected them when signing up, but I'll move your topic to our ideas forum so that our devs can look at it. Also that way it will be more visible to other users and they'll have the opportunity to vote for your idea. 😉
When I logged on last night, R & B was not in my list of genres to browse (good). It seemed to have been replaced with Blues which is more of what of was looking for. I'm a vain in thinking my post got someone's attention at Deezer and R&B was removed? Regardless, happy camper now. I was exploring all the great playlists put together by others last night. Refreshing coming form Tidal. Music quality seems the same compared to their HiFi.
Like probably anyone else, I just hate and can't stand certain kind of music. Here counts music that is popular in my country, which we call "turbo- folk" and is always present on mu home page and started showing up in suggestion. Here also counts what Deezer call EDM, or Euro Pop or whatever.



Shortly, I don't want to hear, listen or even see some kind of music and it'd be great if Deezer allowed me to permanently mute those. The same way you did with The Flow.
Hi there @Superneutrino



Move your comment here, please vote for the idea - it's related.

You should also have a look here. You can now block artists if you do it from our desktop app!

I would like to block the whole genres. E.g., I hate rap music and don't want to listen to it ever.
Yep @arabesc



Got your feedback and will pass it on, thank you 😉
I don't like flamenco music, so you have my vote. This topic could be linked with the one about dislike option for songs, artists, albums.
I agree with more functionality on the preferences part. I'm from the Netherlands and (apart from the odd song I seem to tolerate) I really dislike Dutch music especially the current shit. But I live here so Deezer seems to conclude I must like that shit. An option to dislike or disable the whole genre/language is really needed.
Some genres are really not your think. The flow keeps popping them up. Even if you skip them all the time. When skipping multiple songs in one category/genre like Dutch songs or HipHop - ask the user if he would like to ban all these till further notice.
Hi there @marcodeboer



Thank you for your input and feedback. I've moved your comment here so that you can add votes to an existing and similar idea 😉
I need to block every artist and every suggestion related with raggaeton
Hey @Carlos Bustos ! I'm afraid we don't have a function which automatically blocks a whole genre and all artists connected to that music scene :/



However, you can definitely improve your flow by adding more content - albums, artists, songs - into your favorites. To avoid songs you don't like, use the ban button. Tap on it and this song will not be played for the next 24 hours. If you do this three times, Flow will not play it again. Your social media profiles can also affect your flow. If you've linked your Deezer account to your Facebook profile, your favorite songs and artists will automatically appear in your artists. Please also check this https:// https://support.deezer.com/hc/de/articles/201331091-Flow if you have further questions.



Likewise, I recommend you to select artists you don't like, click on the 3 dots and on the "ban" button.



Last but not least: a feature which blocks a whole genre would definitely help, so I invite you to submit this great idea here. We look forward to it 🙂

How can I block Deezer Rap editor, to not see Rap playlist in recommended playlists? I am very sorry, but I mostly hate this genre. 


Hi there @T3chrom 

Sorry you feel that way. At the moment it isn't possible to block a genre but what you can do is to use the feature 'don't recommend this artist' by visiting the artists' page. Hope it helps 👍🏼


Hi there, we decided to not implement this at the moment, but note that you can still remove artists from your recommendations. We'll keep passing all feedback on to the team. 


The following idea has been merged into this idea:

All the votes have been transferred into this idea.

yes please add this feature.  I sometimes listed to electronic music as white noise while I work.  My Flow is unplayable as it interjects the rock and grunge I want to listen to with techno!


If you  are on a mobile Deezer app, you should already be able to choose the preferred genre for Flow, see the related announcement a few months ago. It will take more time to offer this on the web player and desktop app, but it’s also planned, as far as I know.

It’s been 5 years since it’s been in your ideas Forum. I don’t know why it is not possible to block the music style in your Recommendations/Flow. I’ve blocked more than 200 artists and 1000 songs of Banda music style and it still appears on my flow. 


WTF Deezer! Let us block music genre!


This was on of the main damn reason I joined and pay the premium fee and I still can’t stop shit music from being suggested! I dont want podcasts or book readings or sharing my lists with every damn person with ears on pleanet eartth!

 

I like Flow, I like the deep cuts but damn Deezer, let me block any song,artist, genre, album or playlist!!!

For this BS I might as well go back to SpotiHell like some tween girl!

 

 

 

DAMN IT!


What is more, despite the fact I have blocked some artists, they are played by the Flow again. It may be a bug.
Still, this is an embarrassment, that while listening for example "drum and bass" Flow is serving F****** "bravo hits", or while listening "metal" it is serving "pop rock"! WTF!
