I don't think it's the lyrics that trigger me, though.

As for movies, I can probably relate. I get annoyed when movies try to push my emotional buttons in a way that feels phony or manufactured. A lot of Disney and Spielberg movies tend to have this effect on me.

That also makes me irrationally angry, even though people should be allowed to be wrong...

Seriously, though, I think there's something about the trick(s) these songs use to get stuck in people's heads that triggers a very negative visceral reaction in me, like I'm being violated somehow. This leaves me no room to appreciate the songs' originality or sound design.

"Toxic" by Britney Spears and "Shape of You" by Ed Sheeran both make me irrationally angry.
