Wonderful Christmas Time.
It's awful and Sir Paul McCartney should be ashamed of himself for making it
Goo Goo Dolls Iris and it's not even close. Fuck that song to death.
Dude, chill, breathe.
Just breathe,
Breathe until all you can breathe is your life.
Then bleed just to know you're alive.
I'm seeing a lot of songs here I actually enjoy, and wondering if I've stepped into the wrong comments section.
That said, I do despise that "Anxiety" song that made the rounds on TikTok a while back. The remix (Read: The exact same track) of "Somebody That I Used To Know." It's a solid few seconds where you're thinking you're listening to a good song, then you get smacked in the face.
Anything Meghan trainor sings is complete and utter garbage
I'm a crusty metal head. It takes a lot, and I mean A LOT, to make me hate a song. Design the Skyline's 2011 flaming pile of shit Surrounded by Silence is the single worst metal song I've ever listened to. At a time where we had major musical juggernauts like BTBAM, Periphery, Protest the Hero, After the Burial, and so many other great technically sound musicians just hitting their stride or deep in their prime, Design the Skyline said 'this'll do.'
I could rip into this thing a million different ways. Lets just start with the fucking aesthetics. It's 2011. I'm a year into college. Hipsterism is on the rise. Scene kids are dying out. These guys are the last vestige of an embarrassingly low period of teenage subculture. You got two lead screamers. A gelfling, and Rhea Ripley 12 years before her time. The bassist is little brother Ethan after Mom said let your little brother be in the band. 3 nondescript other dudes wearing girls clothing who are too embarrassed to show their faces at all. And a drummer who is too good for this shit. They're children of that time. The first thing I thought to my self as soon as they show up in the video even back then is, 'we're still doing this?'
The start of the song is the best part. It's this techy synth stuff with great dynamics that fits the era. It's long enough to make you think we're in for a good ride. Then it drops out and the actual band starts and hooooo boy is it bad. It's pure WHAT THE FUCK! The two screamers go back and forth unintelligibly. The guitars are playing fuck all. The bass drops out like fucking Hetfield was mixing And Justice For All. It's just chaos.
Then you get to the chorus. It's autotuned to shit. In the actual video the gelfling is battling snow that keeps falling into his mouth. The Rhea clone is dry heaving and singing at the same time. He legit looks like he's gonna be sick the way he's moving. Then little brother Ethan comes in. He's the most awkward, no confidence looking mother fucker of the whole video. He looks like he spent the whole day getting yelled at to move like this and you'll look cool, but it was really a joke and he just looks stupid. To the point there's a shot of the Rhea clone staring off and rolling his eyes while little brother Ethan is singing, like why is he here? It's just a fucking mess. The best part of the chorus is this is the only time in the whole song it happens.
Then it returns back to the chaos of nothingness musically and you feel shock. Why am I being bombarded by this? What is the point of this song? What is the point of my life? There are legit musicians at this period of time. Misha Mansoor is working hard on P2. The boys in BTBAM are working hard on P2. Everybody is waiting for the next Contortionist album. You got a whole new movement in Djent. Then this shit forces it's way into the spotlight like a distraction from the Epstein Files.
And when I tell you the description I'm writing is nothing compared to the hate this song got at the time, I fucking mean it. They released their record then split up. The amount of hate they got broke the band up. There was no way anyone was taking any of this shit seriously. That's how bad it was.
Here it is. Do not enjoy.

The only other songs that makes me a fraction as upset as the above is Pause and Rib Woman on Frosting by Bent Knee. I can't prove it but I really think those two songs caused a rift in the band that got Ben and Jess kicked out the band. Ben with out of control creativity that tanked a record on Pause. Whoever decided to have a high pitched alarm go off for a whole song deserves to be whipped. Nobody wants to listen to Jess moan for a whole song like Rib Woman. They're lucky they had the cover of covid to leave, but man that record really upset a lot of people. None more than the band itself. They'll never say it but it's pretty obvious. The Hyperpop experiment was a failure.
Feliz Navidad. Mostly due to retail radio burnout. It's annoyingly repetitive, and reminds me of dealing with the braindead public around the worst time of year to be a retail worker.
That one drove me nuts as well. The worst is the live aid one, patronising racist crap.
One headlight - the wallflowers
Mr. Brightside by The Killers.
Really, anything by the Killers, but this one is so incredibly over played and it makes my brain hurt why anyone ever liked that song in the first place.
The Shoop Shoop Song (It's in His Kiss) the Cher version.
Hearing it makes me nauseous, and I have no idea why.
My humps by Black Eyed Peas
Yes! I knew I wasn't the only one. I used to have to get a coach to college and I feel like there was a solid three month period when I'd have to hear this shit on the driver's radio twice a day.
The tune would be grating enough even if the lyrics weren't completely asinine (pun intended).
Let's get "it started" is another awful BEP song, and not just because the album version constantly repeats a slur
The Salmon Dance by Chemical Brothers.
Anything Metallica.
This is me these days, which is crazy because I used to love them for a long time. But, you know, I was like 10.
I may be biased because I grew up to enjoy playing drums quite a bit, but Lars Ulrich is such a disappointment.
Yeah, after I started listening to Megadeth, the lyricism was all Metallica had left.
I should add that I do prefer the juxtaposition of Dave's somewhat goofy vocals over some of the hardest riffs ever than any time Metallica has tried to be serious since the 80s.
Dancing Queen - ABBA
Makes me wanna throw up. I can't even explain why.
Mamma Mia the Musical ruined fucking Abba for me. Can't stand any of it anymore.
Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mars
That's Not My Name by The Ting Tings
This song torture me in my teenage year whenever i switch on the radio, the station will play it so often that i would switch station to avoid it. It still torture me today and i wish i can trade that memory space for other more important stuff than this stupid song.
Bruce Springsteen's Born in the USA.
I know the proper meaning of the lyrics but still hate the song, separate from how it's been used. Grates like sandpaper.
Hotel California. Worked at a small airport that played it every couple hours. I had a rough night and I hate the fucking Eagles, man.
Never gonna give you up. I don't like the music or the memes at all.
"I saw the sign" by Ace of Base.
My mom got stuck on that song in my childhood and played it on infinite repeat for like four fucking years
If I ever lose my shit and start murdering people in a public space, it's going to be because somebody played "I Saw the Sign" by Ace of Bass a second time during my tenure in that location.
Pearl Jam's Last Kiss sends me into a blind rage. I respect people's right to like this song but it is terrible, and they played it on the radio all the fucking time. I'm getting pissed just typing this out.
Top of my head, it has to be a toss up between Barbie Girl and Cotton Eye Joe. But given time, I'm sure I'd come up with something else.
Like I find Lovely Day by Bill Withers to be one of the most annoying songs ever, but I can't say it's BAD.
Take me to church by that hozer guy. Not even just the content, but also the way he sings
I love all these songs lol
One Headlight - I don't even know why other than that the song is the epitome of meh, but I fucking hate that song.
I'm a big anti-fan of modern cowboy emo, but that's hardly unique.
Fuck any song that starts out with a riff from another song that makes you think it's the other song. This also applies to small bits here and there in the song.
I'm a big anti-fan
What does this even mean? It reads like modern doublespeak...
The map song from Dora the Explorer.
Tennessee Whiskey by Chris Stapleton.
Real Love by Mary J Blige.
Should I Stay Or Should I Go by The Clash.
I really hate that one eagle eye cherry song. Most basic annoying shit that got played everywhere constantly.
I do not care for Will Wood
