That Mariah Carey one. You know the one.

She has so many good contenders, but one stands above them all. Good (horrible!) choice.

I was struggling to think of something I truly hate

I was coming up with a lot of bad tracks, sure, but they don't really inspire hatered

This one however, viscerally upsetting from the first bar

Black Hole Sun.

It's a tedious, grating and ridiculously repetitive dirge.

Sweet Home Alabama

When I still listened to the radio in the car, it started on one station, so I switched to another rock station. It was playing there too, on a different part. Switched to yet another rock station and it was also playing that terrible song!

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

My biggest beef with Sweet Home Alabama is, if people are ever singing along with it, or if they're singing it at karaoke. I should mention that I live in the South, so these people singing it are from the South, and even though the song itself isn't racist, the way these people emphasize certain lyrics, it sure sounds like they want it to be racist.

The whole thing makes me uncomfortable.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

It is absolutely a racist song. It's a "response" to Southern Man by Neil Young (great song btw)

Shake it Off by Taylor Swift.

When it came out, I was a regular gym-goer. I would spend an hour and a half at the gym three days a week and hear that song at least three times every single time I was there. And then you'd hear it anywhere else that played music as well, like stores. It was just too much.

Gonna go against the grain here with something classical: Pachabel’s Canon in D. I liked it when I was a kid, for at least the first 10 or 20 times I heard it, but since then I’ve probably heard it thousands of times, and I’m not even a strings player. I’m not exaggerating either; it’s in so many commercials, weddings, movies, just over loudspeakers in the grocery store.. ugh it’s inescapable. Pretty the first few times, sure, but it’s so aggressively bland.

Radio Ga Ga by Queen.

I had to listen to that shit played on loop for a week straight when the cruise ship I was working on chose it to be used to constantly stress test the PA system. Any time I hear it now, I get extremely angry and want to break something.

Sure that was a job and not a psychology experiment you were subjected to?

There are some interesting takes in here.

I Will Survive - Something about this song just makes me murderous.

Don't Stop Believing - By the gods, please do stop. I love Journey, but just don't play this.

Bohemian Rhapsody - I think I'm just really tired of it. It's been held up at such a pinnacle for so long and played far too often and I just can't anymore. I don't care. Turn it off.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

dont stop believing killed journey for me i cant STAND them

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

All three of these are songs that, I probably on paper should enjoy, but I think through over- (and mis-) use have come to despise them.

Top choices if limited to genres I listen to.

All I Wanna Do Is Have Some Fun by Sheryl Crow, or any song where the artist is doing that annoying kind-of-singing-but-also-just-talking thing (NOT to be confused with rap, I do enjoy lots of rap and hip-hop). It's hard to explain. I think Red Hot Chili Peppers has a song where they do it too, and it annoys the fuck outta me.

"I'll be riding shotgun, underneath the hot sun".... It's the most aggressively boring thing I've ever heard

It's weird how many people are mentioning older songs, because most modern songs are absolute trash. Just a refrain, singing the same 3 autotuned notes again and again.

Anything by Morrissey. The histrionics are annoying enough but I think he's an objectively bad musician. He seems to just meander around with no discernable melody. Like, what are you even trying to do man? I'm pretty certain the actually catchy Smiths songs were written by someone else.

Runner up: Hold My Hand by Hootie and the Blowfish. If it comes on at a place of business I will immediately walk out of that business.

Sweet Caroline - Neil Diamond. I’m from New England so I hear it often and the back story makes me cringe every time and I haaate it

Dancing Queen by Abba. Something about the baseline makes me feel physically sick (literally, not figuratively). Can't bear it.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

All About That Bass by Meghan Trainor. It is the only song I seriously hate, and also the only artist I seriously hate hearing. I don't love the message, and Ialso don't like the delivery at all. I think a factor is also how overplayed it was when it first came out.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

plus she took Ozempic to lose weight, so she wasnt all about that base at all, lol

“I’m blue da da Dee da da da. “

Just typing it out makes me cringe.

The Piña Colada Song.

It enrages me. I hear the first note and I want to break a window. If it comes on in the car, I almost break my wrist with how quickly I turn it off.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Hey Soul Sister by Train.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Guns ‘N Roses - Welcome to the Jungle. I don’t like GNR full stop, but the radio station I used to wake up to on the alarm clock would play that song at exactly the same time everyday.

Couldn’t understand why I used to wake up angry every morning until I changed stations.

Most Justin Bieber songs but I despise his early stuff. I heard baby way too much back when you couldn't escape it

Edit: I thought of an even worse one, pon pon shit from cyberpunk. That song is the only reason bodyheat isn't my go to station in that game.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

I might as well go first: Emilia - Big Big World

I absolutely hated it when it was released and played everywhere, and I recently accidentally stumbled across it, and to the surprise of nobody, I still loathe it.

  • Melody of a lullaby.
  • Least interesting chord progression in existence.
  • Lyrics as if they were written by a 12 year old.
  • Annoying motifs.

Honorable mention: How you remind me. I'm not just bandwagoning on nicklelback hate here, I actually kinda like them, at least their first album. But that song is so overplayed and overrated I simply cannot stand it.

Currently, that shitty pop song that sampled "Blue" by Eiffle 65. It was already a perfectly good club song (imo) and there was no need to ruin it.

Weezer - Beverly Hills.

Weezer's only good song is Buddy Holly. All their other songs are terrible. And Beverly Hills is the worst.

It's weird that I have always liked their politics far more than their music. They were right about Ticketmaster way back in the day and the first to try boycotting them.

Yet god I can't give less of a fuck about their music.
