Don't Stop Believing

"Praise You Like I Should" by Fatboy Slim. I don't like any of his music, but that's the one I have to turn off. A single sustained tone is not music, Slim. It's an equipment malfunction.

Murder on the dance fkoor

"Losing my Religion" by REM. It's what fingernails on a chalkboard sound like if the music industry made us listen to it over & over again in grocery stores.

24 karat by Bruno Mars pisses me off so much that I immediately want to turn off the radio.

The disconnected randomness just ticks me off.

One Headlight - I don't even know why other than that the song is the epitome of meh, but I fucking hate that song.

Lady in red

Anything out of Frozen, particularly in Estonian.

I hate repetitive songs. That includes some very popular songs like "Around the world".

Tom's Diner. It played in the Muzak rotation when I worked retail. I went into the coffe shop and had a cup of coffee. Do do doo do do and it just hangs in my head.

Pumped up Kicks. Like... jesus christ...

Man, it's scary how many of these hated songs I like.

I really hate that one eagle eye cherry song. Most basic annoying shit that got played everywhere constantly.

12 Days of Christmas. Already coming off a shitty genre of music you have a song which requires you sing it multiple fucking times over, and then there's all the shitty novelty covers which far from enhancing the experience make the whole thing more cringy and exhausting. Top it off, it's one of those ones everyone expects you to sing along with or you're a fucken grinch, fucken bullshit song.

Seasons of Love

In the Air Tonight by Phil Collins. Yeah it's meant to be emotional, and I'm sure it was groundbreaking in the early 80's, but damn. It just does not hold up. Plenty of things from that time still hold up, and maybe I'm a philistine that isn't receptive to this particular "slow burn" but fuck me I'd rather listen to Barney the Dinosaur in Guantanamo

There are some modern songs that do an effect that hurts my ears. I have no idea what any of the songs are called (I avoid them whenever I hear them), but for some reason it's become a thing for some pop/dance music to use a wonky rhythm that feels like being in a car with only the back windows open. The pressure is like waves that push and give way, over and over again, assaulting my ear drums.

Anyone know what I'm talking about? I would provide an example if I knew a concrete one to offer. It's so unpleasant, I don't understand how anyone can listen to such songs and enjoy them.

anything by Drake. not just because of his controversies, but because his lyrics are groan-inducing, his beats are passable at best, and his voice is the result of a failed government experiment to inject koala DNA into the Canadian population

Anything by Dylan.

Tom Sawyer by Rush. Hellfire, anything by Rush, I can't stand the singer's voice.

Goo Goo Dolls Iris and it's not even close. Fuck that song to death.

I'm not wasting energy hating something that doesn't deserve my attention.

Big Yellow Taxi by Joni Mitchell and covered by Counting Crows. I had to look up the actual name of the song because I just know it by the lyric " Paved paradise, put up a parking lot". It's just repetitive, depressing, and unimaginative.
