"We Built This City" is awful.
I have a special hate for Kenny G's horrifying abomination where he pretends to have a duet with the great Louis Armstrong. Gah
Oh I've been waiting for this. I have two, by the same band The Chainsmokers. "Don't let me down" and "Something just like this". Two song I absolutely despise, because I utterly love the first verses of both, and after these two moments of incredible music the song just turns to something that doesn't connect with me at all. All of the energy that's build up is released with this dance-poppy beat that just.. doesn't... work.... at all. And I utterly hate them because of this. There is so much potential there and yet it's all wasted. It's gotten to the point that I've been thinking about trying to remix the songs to fix this, but don't think I have enough musical skill.
Nothing is more despicable than wasted potential, and these songs are dripping with it.
"Y U gotta be so RuuuUUUde?"
Such stupid lyrics, and it was played EVERYWHERE for some reason.
Easy
#Evanescence - Bring Me To Life
Absolutely hate that song. It's bad enough that it's the poster child for baby's first "emo/goth" song. Badly written, overly dramatic, cheesy cringe af.... But I hate it for more than that.
I used to do (nearly) weekly karaoke with friends at the bar. And almost every week, every goddamn week, some "quirky" scene couple on their first date thinks they'll try to be cute sing a duet together... and everytime, every goddamn time, it's "Bring me to Life". And no, they can never sing, it sounds like if gym sneakers had autism.
Hate that song. Not just me, like, everyone who frequently does karaoke hates that song. Most karaooke DJs don't even let you pick it, they know what's up and they're even more sick of hearing it. I hear that song and I get fucking PTSD flashbacks. The cringe is physically painful.
it sounds like if gym sneakers had autism
I both have no idea what this means and also can't stop laughing.
Last Christmas. Hate it so much.
Also Independence Day by Martina McBride, but my reason for hating it is silly.
Honestly the song, about a woman escaping domestic violence, is fine. But there is a line that frustrates me.
The chorus goes like this:
“Let freedom ring
Let the white doves sing
Let the whole world know that today is a day of reckoning
Let the weak be strong
Let the right be wrong
Roll the stone away, let the guilty pay,
It’s Independence Day!”
This got used by Rush Limbaugh for his awful radio show. And that penultimate line infuriates me, because it illustrates how evangelicals do not understand their own religion, which has led to them embracing vengeance, power, and fascism. (Not that the song led them to that, it’s a symptom.)
The stone rolling away, referring to Jesus’s resurrection, is very clearly described in the Bible as the sign that sins are forgiven. That’s the whole point of the religion, that everyone is a sinner and in need of a savior. The stone rolling away means the guilty don’t pay.
But evangelicals have twisted their religion so much they think the important part is about punishing those who don’t follow their rules. It’s about worshipping power. So the stone rolling away means Jesus is about to kick some guilty ass or some nonsense.
Additionally, because irony is dead, I wouldn’t be surprised at all to find domestic abusers belting that refrain at the top of their lungs, not knowing what the song is about, because of Rush fucking Limbaugh.
Don't know if I can pick a singular least favorite. I have entire artists I despise for their particular vocal styles.
Over-the-top wailers: Adele, Gotye
Pouty mumblers: Lana Del Ray, Billie Eilish
Billy goat bleeting: Stevie Nicks
Take your pick of their respective overplayed hits and mash them together. That's my most hated song.
Edit: forgot Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day, sounds like he swallowed his tongue
Ouuuhhh, can you name more things you hate? I love all of those and might find new favorites through your dislikes.
Christmas music. Specifically the very short playlist of Christmas music that's typically played in stores around the holidays. Especially if it's being played out of season (ie not on December 24th or December 25th).
years ago my sister and i had a game takin turns finding the most annoying song to force the other to listen to. i discovered this song and won, by her admission, forever
Wagon Wheel
Some maga crybaby trash about when Trump got shot at that rally that came up on my spotify feed. I don't the name of it or the "artist" but it's literally the thing that pushed me over the edge to drop spotify and go back to 100% pirating my music.
Before I heard that probably would have said Bohemian Rhapsody.
Anything that starts off with "We the best music!"
And anytime a DJ or song has that "bwar bwAR Bwar bWar" sound effect. An immediate nope.
Pompeii - Bastille was played twice an hour on the radio at my first job for a full year and I get physically upset every time I hwar it now
I am like a bird by Nelly Furtado, followed closely by Sweet Caroline.
It's a toss-up between Margaritaville and Cheeseburger in Paradise. Fuck that guy, he sucked.
How can you hate Jimmy Buffett? Dude seemed like a genuinely nice guy. I can understand not liking his music, but “fuck that guy, he sucked” seems harsh for someone as chill and selfless as he was in life.
A polish song named We Slavs. but You don't hear that anymore since it's from a decade ago. The second worst song, which You regularly hear is Limp Bizkits version of Behind Blue Eyes.
Surprised at the lack of Maroon 5 or Imagine Dragons in here. Fucking milquetoast "rock". Sugar and Thunder immediately come to mind as two songs I'd rather didn't exist.
