The music is slop, but the words are just aggravating and seem to have had little though put into them.
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.
I realize I don’t know any songs I hate off top but one finally came to mind: pon de floor. But the song where this one singer uses that entire song as a sample and sings over it is much worse.
Also like anything mainstream also counts lmao
That fucking oh no song
Friday - Rebecca Black. I refused to listen to it for many years. When I finally did, I was like - I get the hate. One day she released a new song that people were saying 'redeemed' her. It was also awful. I don't remember the name of it, nor do I care to look it up.

For me, it's "Jessie's Girl". The things we learn about this girl are: She has eyes, she has a body, at some times she talks cute with Jessie, she loves Jessie. Then the question, "Where can I find a woman like that?"
The contrast between the exceedingly generic description, and the exasperation (as if no other girl would suffice) annoys me every time I hear the lyrics. This is then multiplied by the fact that the song is catchy.
Yes but have you seen the Jessie’s Girl scene in Boogie Nights? Chef’s kiss!
This is pretty much exactly what Bo Burnham said in one of his interviews, not about this specific song but just in general about those "love songs" which are like that.
This is a classic. https://youtu.be/fKmnKEjHSSk
Haha that was great, also led me to this interview between them.
But I was referring more to the whole "she has two legs, and two arms, and she breathes air, she's the one!".
I absolutely loathe No Scrubs by TLC.

The lyrics are trashy and only convey judgement. Taken from the song: if you don't own your own car, own home, or don't dress like a prince, you're not worth it. The whole song is shitty IMHO (except for the beat/sound). The one line about not treating your partner right is sensible but the rest of the song doesn't match with any of that vibe. They're just conveying judgement. I already know I'm a loser in most people's eyes but hearing this song on the radio just miffs me.
I don't really care for the song myself, but I think you are not taking into account the world that was released into.
Women weren't a dominant force in hip hop, or pop, at that time, most of the mainstream popular stuff was bragging and violence. I think this song was an attempt to fit into that genre, while at the same time take a shot at the gigolo life style that was frequently on display in so much media of the time. A stub wasn't someone who didn't have anything, they were someone who never even tried to be someone. They were the type that tried to impress you with the car they were in... a car that wasn't even theirs...
On top of it being an irritatingly clingy earworm, with a refrain that when heard once feels like you've heard it a dozen times and every time you do it sounds more annoying than the previous time, it's a song I'm glad doesn't get played as much as during its heydey because it can make people physically sick, not to mention the mental side.
Kings Of Leon - Sex On Fire
Radioactive.
It had a novel, ear-grabbing sound at the time, but got overplayed to the point where it now just grates on my nerves.
Also: most American wedding reception traditions like The Electric Slide and The Chicken Dance. Do better. I once went to a reception where everyone did The Time Warp and it was amazing.
Are Electric Slide and Time Warp in different buckets? I've never considered them to be.
It took my old ass way too long to realize that you were talking about the Imagine Dragons song (which was definitely overplayed) and not the absolute banger of a song from The Firm.
This older ass thought they were talking about the song of the same name from Gene Simmons solo album (also a banger imo)
Also: most American wedding reception traditions like The Electric Slide and The Chicken Dance.
That's because they're songs that get people on the floor dancing. Macarena Gangnam Style got similar play for that reason.
My Humps by the Black Eyes Peas.
It's one thing for a song to be bad, and this one was, but there was a period of what felt like months when I had to hear this at least twice a day because it would always be on the radio when I was on the coach to and from college.
Awful, awful, song.
Some song with Eminem and some other woman, I don't know the name but the woman sings "Just gonna stand there and watch me cry" or something. Fucking hated when they were blasting that on the radio constantly in like 2012 or whenever
Love the way you lie? I like that song.
🤮
I believe you're thinking of "Love the way you lie"
Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know
Lyrics
Anxiety, keep on trying me
I feel it quietly, tryna silence me, yeah
My anxiety, can't shake it off of me
Somebody's watchin' me and my anxiety, yeah
That's not Gotye's lyrics though, it's the trash song that uses the similar instrumentation by Doechii (had to Google that).
Hot for teacher by Van Halen just absolutely pisses me off. I guess I'm old now.
all i want for christmas is youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuu-uuuuuu
Thunder by Imagine Dragons
Fuck. That. Song.
fuck their whole discography bro
Baby shark
My kids just discovered that song. Send help.
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.
I dont know about the first one but "Something just like this" is hard carried by Chris Martin as is usual. Another example of this is "Homecoming". So basically what you said is you want to listen to coldplay. But i get what you said about chainsmokers, their drops are ugly, lazy and out of place. It just doesnt work.
