None of those type of words make me eyeroll as such, but I suppose they do cover a lot of ground so everyone's interpretation of them is different - take contemporary as an example. What does that even mean? To someone it could be something like the Swedish entry, chart-style music, to someone else it could be the UK entry because, as I keep being told, electro-swing is very 'in' right now.
I think a lot of the frustration comes from that really - such wide definitions for those type of words.
"credible" can eat my shorts. It's a song contest with nothing more at price than the honour of hosting the next one, countries can choose whatever the heck they want.
As a pop/dance fan, terms like 'generic' and 'disposable pop' usually uttered by the music snobs, grinds my gears. I want my music to be fun and upbeat, not hard work and trying to challenge me.

It's not easy to write a really good uptempo that stands out from the crowd for me. That said, I'm not that fussy, I like most things with a pulse
Where the heck did that twitter user come up with Funky Elderine? even if I was making something up I would never put those two words together in a zillion years.

That one will run and run like supervagina...oo-er!

Someone on another forum did say pop music was getting pretentious. Perhaps Eurovision is becoming more so

Hmm, I often use the word "generic" to mean just "mediocre", "middle of the road", like the Swedish entry for example... And I don't consider myself a music snob, I just don't like most disposable pop (like you don't like metal)

Ballad, some songs are being labelled as ballads when they are not
Surely there's a better term for them?
"Credible" is another one that makes me want to punch something
