The worst song that I find funny is Syrup by Slump AK and Lil' rocket launcher.

The worst song I remember is Thunder by Imagine Dragons, but I'm sure I've heard worse but just don't remember.

Even as a kpop fan I heavily dislike some songs.

^^ in their earlier years they didn't have such a huge fan base so they had more musical creativity. Now that they are so popular their music is becoming increasingly commercial. Last comeback I liked from them was LY:Tear/Fake Love.


Their latest stuff makes me want to gauge my eyes out, really. Especially that fucking “Dynamite” track. I get the wanting a feel good song but this one is just supremely annoying and they play it a lot on local radio. Like, a lot. And I live in the South. KPop is not something commonly heard around.

I have to note that the individual member projects are more decent. RM and Agust D have more substantial and well rounded forays into music and this is coming from someone who isn’t a huge rap fan.

While I don’t consider myself a fan of K-Pop, I also don’t consider myself a fan of any type of music; I just listen to whatever. Though, I remember back in 2015, I actually liked their music (e.g. Danger), so I still catch myself up on what they’re up to.

That said, I definitely agree. BTS has definitely changed, but they still aren’t my least favorite K-Pop group, since I still jam to some of their old songs.

Anyway, Christmas is coming up! My least favorite Christmas song is Lady Gaga’s “Christmas Tree”.

Not getting into the K-pop discussion for the sole reason that I'm not really that keen on it; the music's generally nice enough but the obnoxious stans and the horrific conditions of the industry really puts me off of it.

So was the cover by Gal Gadot et al an improvement or making a bad thing worse?

Luminesa wrote:Both of those songs are awful. No creativity, no uniqueness, nothing fun, just...banal techno-pop. Coldplay still has SOME semblance of identity, but Maroon 5 is now just Adam Levine and everyone else.

Florida-Georgia Line. EVERYTHING by Florida-Georgia Line is the WORST. They are such trash and represent everything wrong with modern country music.

Girls Like You isn't really "techno-pop" tbh, it's more of acoustic-esque pop/pop-rock, if you can call it that tbh. Coldplay I've always found interesting, because I never liked their alt rock post-Brit pop first 3 albums, when they started to pivot more towards a sort indie pop/pop rock and later more pop and electronica I actually like the transition. Their older stuff just feels muddled and part of the slow and dying wave of post-grunge and alt rock in the late 90s into the early 2000s, so I prefer their change-up, Maroon 5, I find to be overhated in that a lot of people just hate them for the sake of hating them, but overrated in the sense they don't go away.


And Memories is dreary piano stuff that feels more like one guy, a piano and a bunch of session musicians.

Regardless, I kind of disagree with Coldplay's first three albums. They weren't the best but they had some decent tunes on them (though as anyone who's been on the phone with British Gas will tell you Clocks will start to grate after a while). Their more art-rocky stuff isn't that bad either and, from what I understand, their last album Everyday Life is them remembering that they're a band and not a glorified Chris Martin solo project.

I do agree with Maroon 5, though; they aren't bad enough to warrant hatred (their earlier stuff is OK but nothing to write home about then and sounds kind of dated now) but they've clearly run their course and should probably break up. Or at the very least tell Adam Levine to do some solo stuff so they can feel like a band again.

Free Las Pinas wrote:Anyway, Christmas is coming up! My least favorite Christmas song is Lady Gaga’s “Christmas Tree”.


Never heard that song but then again I don't like Lady Gaga anyway so I don't feel like I'm missing out.

Anyway, I don't have any least favourite Christmas songs, or at the very least none worth adding to the big list I've got, but I must admit that when they were the big thing the X Factor songs would always bug me. They were incredibly dull and derivative (overdramatic ballady cover of a usually good song* with the music video being them performing the song interspliced with black and white clips of the show, usually them getting teary-eyed and hugging people) and at times it felt like they were being given the Christmas Number One. Thank God RATM gave us a respite for one year (unless you were Irish).

*One guy had an original song but it was still the same thing.

Just been reminded about this car crash, but "Talking Body" by Tove Lo. Same deal with "Habits (Stay High)", both songs have very explicit subject matter and instrumentals that just want me to throw up. Why did America give her a career again?

I actually quite like Revolution 9. Far cry from their usual stuff, but interesting nonetheless.

Wild Honey Pie, on the other hand, is just plain annoying to me.

Baby by Justin Bieber. First time I ever heard that song was in a Justice store when I was 11. Legit thought it was a girl singing at first. When I went to 7th grade, the girls in my class couldn’t figure out why I hated JB’s music. It was because of this song.

I’ll add more as I think of them. I’m sure I’ll come up with some.

Here's another few:

Girls Like You- Maroon 5: They play this song on the radio here way too much. It's a boring song.

I Don't Care- Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber: They play this song on the radio here way too much too. It's repetitive as well.

Blurred Lines- Robin Thicke and Pharell Williams: Beat is catchy, but lyrics are really creepy IMO.

The Middle- Zedd and Maren Morris; Stay- Zedd and Alessia Cara: I honestly thought these were the same song for the longest time. They sound way too similar.

Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)- Silento (I think that's who sings it): Probably the most annoying song I've ever heard and I hope I never hear it again.

I think the main theme I see especially here is if it's popular/played on the radio it apparently sucks.

GLR: I honestly don't hate this, yeah boring acoustic sort of pop rock, but I think it's enjoyable, and the remix with Cardi B definitely changes things up a bit.

IDC: Yeah IDC I like this song, yeah JB is... JB but I can't hate on Ed for trying to re-create the success of Shape Like You, there's method to madness as to why it was his most successful song and a massive smash in 2017.

BL: Beat is weak, one of the weakest and worst ones Pharrell has done, and it is incredibly creepy and rapey so there's that.

Hate The Middle because of the utter waste of talent that is Maren Morris and Zedd wasting his own talent to work with Grey again and produce a garbo song with an annoying ticking clock. Stay is much better imo, at least and Alessia Cara is passable here.

Watch Me: Annoying, and obnoxious, it was basically the epitome of the vine song craze in the mid 2010s, and yet it stuck an appeal with young kids and became a dance craze, etching Silento as yet another one hit wonder on the mark of the music insustry.

It's not so much that I hate some of those songs because they're popular. I hate them because they get played 50 times a day on the radio! I want more variety, but I can't get XM radio because my car radio doesn't support it (plus I'm not shelling out extra money every month for it). And as far as FM stations where I live, my options are: Top 40, Adult Contemporary (80's to now), Gospel, and like a half-dozen Country stations. AM isn't much better; it's almost all sports and talk radio.

Maybe because they get played so much because the artist is a well known established artist like Sheeran, Swift, Levine, Bieber, Grande and are really popular or is what the DJs think people will like to pass the time.

Occasionally Top 40 will mix it up and play something that's not really on the charts atm. Usually those songs are pretty great. On very rare occasions, they'll play rock, which is always nice.

I feel like his rep from the public is more known for that one song from the Despicable Me 2 soundtrack, despite being originally been a hip-hop/R&B/funk artist and producer with the Neptunes and as a soloist and because of that muddled and forgotten part from most of the public just front him as innocent because of one massive hit.

Not going to repeat myself with Girls Like You because I've already explained myself enough on Maroon 5, so let's cover the others! Because I've already decided to set up base camp in this thread.

Xmara wrote:I Don't Care- Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber: They play this song on the radio here way too much too. It's repetitive as well.


That's not Ed's worst song, not even from the in all honesty mistake that was No. 6 Collaborations Project* (that would be South of the Border), but that is pretty much a lowlight. Their voices work together OK though I'm not really expecting a reunion but they sound as bored and uncomfortable as their characters attending that party are. And why are they at that party anyway?

* Whatever happened to Collaboration Projects nos 1-4 anyway? Because there is a No 5, an EP he did with some grime artists before he became a worldwide superstar.

Xmara wrote:Blurred Lines- Robin Thicke and Pharell Williams: Beat is catchy, but lyrics are really creepy IMO.


Pretty much the same here but I dislike it for another, albeit strange reason: It's a bad luck song for me. As in, I listen to it one day and then the next day something bad happens. Worst part is that it's not the only one, I've got a small list of them. But that's for a different thread.

Xmara wrote:The Middle- Zedd and Maren Morris; Stay- Zedd and Alessia Cara: I honestly thought these were the same song for the longest time. They sound way too similar.


Again they're both OK tracks, not terrible but not worth committing to memory once you've gone past the age of 18, but I can see what you mean. Zedd isn't entirely terrible or even mediocre (unlike, say, Marshmello or The Chainsmokers), there is some talent there, but he instead chooses to waste his talent making incredibly generic tunes.

That's not Ed's worst song, not even from the in all honesty mistake that was No. 6 Collaborations Project* (that would be South of the Border), but that is pretty much a lowlight. Their voices work together OK though I'm not really expecting a reunion but they sound as bored and uncomfortable as their characters attending that party are. And why are they at that party anyway?

* Whatever happened to Collaboration Projects nos 1-4 anyway? Because there is a No 5, an EP he did with some grime artists before he became a worldwide superstar.

Pretty much the same here but I dislike it for another, albeit strange reason: It's a bad luck song for me. As in, I listen to it one day and then the next day something bad happens. Worst part is that it's not the only one, I've got a small list of them. But that's for a different thread.

Xmara wrote:The Middle- Zedd and Maren Morris; Stay- Zedd and Alessia Cara: I honestly thought these were the same song for the longest time. They sound way too similar.


Again they're both OK tracks, not terrible but not worth committing to memory once you've gone past the age of 18, but I can see what you mean. Zedd isn't entirely terrible or even mediocre (unlike, say, Marshmello or The Chainsmokers), there is some talent there, but he instead chooses to waste his talent making incredibly generic tunes.

Zedd has some decent tracks. I like Clarity.

Are You Jimmy Ray? by Jimmy Ray... someone how charted in the way back when...It's not great, Jimmy Ray himself is rather confusing, and it just good enough that is actually is awful instead of being so awful it's good.

I feel like his rep from the public is more known for that one song from the Despicable Me 2 soundtrack, despite being originally been a hip-hop/R&B/funk artist and producer with the Neptunes and as a soloist and because of that muddled and forgotten part from most of the public just front him as innocent because of one massive hit.

It's interesting what you learn about artists when you dive into the songs they've written and study them.
