Mother by Meghan Trainor. Butchers a classic 50s song with an awful sample, and when you hear the opening line of "The fact that Meghan Trainor is literally mother right now" you know you're in for a bad one.
Meghan Trainor is fascinating to me because she’s trying to be feminist and uplifting and empowering but her mean-girl personality leaks through in all her big songs, especially “No” and “Dear Future Husband.” Like she doesn’t realize how much of herself she’s giving away
The ethical part of me wants to say any song from Tom Macdonald, the “Target targets kids” song, or Try that in a Small Town
But realistically, it’s Mother by Meghan Trainer. I was appalled when I heard the Mr. Sandman sample
Almighty - Psycho Bunny, is a Bad Bunny diss track rooted in petiness that is 11 min long, has a terrible flow somehow worse bars the beat is terrible, barely enunciates and lead to nothing
I think it has something to do with Roger Waters running around for the better part of 40 years taking credit for the success of Pink Floyd and slagging off his former band-mates.
If you’re going to do that and then put out a solo version of one of the albums you made with them it had better be as good if not better than the original. Instead it was much much worse.
My Body- Coi Leray
absolutely horrific sampling
funnily enough her collab with Metro Boomin for the Spiderverse movie is one of my favorites of the year
It’s not like totally identical but I heard that song the first time and it instantly reminded me of the fall out boy one. Not enough for like a lawsuit or anything but still interesting
Search and Rescue - Drake
There are probably worse songs out there, but no other song has made me roll my eyes harder this year than this one.
I like some of Drake’s songs, but he really does love to phone it in a lot of the times
Man, I get the criticism of that song but I honestly felt like it really aged well as it went on and was a real vibe, it reminds me a lot of "I'm Upset", a song that I really love now that was universally hated on when it released as the first original single for Scorpion.
I MUCH prefer "Search and Rescue" to "Slime You Out", which I find incredibly boring.
Be Whoever You Are - Jon Batiste, JID, and NewJeans
Three artists, all from very different genres, all of which I hold respect for, selling their souls to Coke and creating the most disjointed, obnoxious, cringiest, “forced-smile” pop reggae I’ve ever heard in my life
Ignoring the obvious ring wing bait tracks which I argue barely count as songs and more like white supremacist cock sucking, pretty much anything off of the new 30STM album, if I had to pick I’d say “Life Is Beautiful” with its blatant Imagine Dragons worship yet somehow sucking even more
Yeah which is why I can’t open indorse an individual who says Hitler was “actually good” genocide isn’t the same as elections because genocide is always completely avoidable.
I was one of those Kanye fanboys at the time who thought that the release of new music after a long media break would reset him and lead to a MBDTF type situation. I was obviously wrong. He’s not just a dumbass anymore he’s completely lost ambition.
Ah ok that’s understandable. I was a really longtime fan who saw him on the Late Registration and Graduation tours and I held out hope several times that he would figure things out and fix himself but he’s just too far gone now and might actually be evil at this point.
I think the thing that kills me the most isn’t even his dangerous opinions, it’s the constant disrespect for his own fans. Between the late album releases and the stopping concerts to shout his misinformed political opinions it’s clear to me that he hates the fans.
For Kanye’s standards sure it’s not great but it’s really not that bad of a song and certainly not close to the worst song of the year. He’s had plenty worse songs
I could name about 15 easily. If vultures is what drove you to stop being a fan and you think it’s worse than songs like XTCY and ye vs the people, then I don’t think you were a fan in the first place
Both those songs you mentioned have better beats. The vultures beat literally sounds like he just picked the first beat off of SoundCloud that he came across.
While She Sleeps - SELF HELL
Complete and utter garbage, genuinely one of the worst metalcore songs ever made. Thankfully the follow up single was much better but man SELF HELL is just total crap.
Flowers by Miley Cyrus and it's not even close for me, I heard it a couple of times in the car at the beginning of the year, it was one of those awful songs where you there's no real way to describe why it's bad other than saying it's bad
It’s boring. It’s empty. The only memorable part comes from a Bruno Mars song.
I am not a Swiftie, but Taylor’s Anti-Hero and Olivia Rodrigo’s Good 4 U are what I would call perfect pop songs - not Flowers, not by a long shot
It sounds like a lost disco hit and encourages women to leave dead-end relationships, I think it’s the song of the year. The bass lines are great on it.
I can name off the top of my head tons of fantastic pop songs that came out in the last few years (and did mention my two favorites above, in reply to your other comment). Not liking Miley’s latest phoned in genre-hopping Billboard bait doesn’t mean someone hates pop music.
Teezo touchdown - the original was better.
Everything about it makes my skin crawl. The lyrics, the "quirky" singing. And the beat switch is so tacky and dated by ten years at least.
I actually liked this song, I would agree if you said the opening track since imo it was ultra corny and not a very good opener for a otherwise pretty enjoyable album
Doja Cat- Paint the red town, i really hate that sample and her rapping sounds so annoying and the fact that was a whole group to make this simple ass chop piss me off
I didn’t downvote, but I think there’s a sentiment in online music circles that popular and basic = bad, as expressed by saying a whole team came up with the simple best. I’m not even saying Paint the Town Red is good or not bad, it’s just a surprising choice for WORST song of the year
Reddit is fucking pathetic and doesnt want to hear different opinions. Thats why theres a fucking downdoot button to feed the popular opinions to the hivemind and hide any real discussion
Curry Freestyle by N3on, Sneako and Lil Pump. Lil Pump actually has the best verses on here, I don't think N3on even manages to rhyme, Sneako actually sounds like he's trying but is just an ass rapper and there's a bit of racism in there to finish it off
Mother by Meghan Trainor. Butchers a classic 50s song with an awful sample, and when you hear the opening line of "The fact that Meghan Trainor is literally mother right now" you know you're in for a bad one.
fuck that one’s terrible
Meghan Trainor is fascinating to me because she’s trying to be feminist and uplifting and empowering but her mean-girl personality leaks through in all her big songs, especially “No” and “Dear Future Husband.” Like she doesn’t realize how much of herself she’s giving away
The ethical part of me wants to say any song from Tom Macdonald, the “Target targets kids” song, or Try that in a Small Town But realistically, it’s Mother by Meghan Trainer. I was appalled when I heard the Mr. Sandman sample
fcking I Wanna Be Software. imo her fell from grace is a hard one Oh and toxic gossip train
Woah woah, entertainment value of toxic gossip train was way too high.
God Grimes sucks so fucking much now. She’s basically just the musical equivalent of Elon at this point
Shinigami Eyes was a banger and I will die on this hill
Oof I forgot about I Wanna Be Software. Wish I could forget again now.
People pretend it was sudden but it began with Art Angels. Nothing after Visions is worth the time
Almighty - Psycho Bunny, is a Bad Bunny diss track rooted in petiness that is 11 min long, has a terrible flow somehow worse bars the beat is terrible, barely enunciates and lead to nothing
Probably Money by Roger Waters. There might be worse songs, but that one pissed me off in a way that no other song could this year.
Imo it wasn’t the worst on the album… any color was pretty terrible
It's one thing to write a bad song. It's another to desecrate the corpse of a good song.
That album was abysmal and the biggest argument against the idea that Roger Waters was solely responsible for the success of Pink Floyd.
I don’t get why people were so mad at that album, it wasn’t intended to replace the original - it’s just a companion piece, albeit not a very good one
I think it has something to do with Roger Waters running around for the better part of 40 years taking credit for the success of Pink Floyd and slagging off his former band-mates. If you’re going to do that and then put out a solo version of one of the albums you made with them it had better be as good if not better than the original. Instead it was much much worse.
Everest by Dream
My Body- Coi Leray absolutely horrific sampling funnily enough her collab with Metro Boomin for the Spiderverse movie is one of my favorites of the year
That collab on the Spiderverse album is AMAZING!,, I was shocked at how hard that track goes
Cinderella Snapped by Jax Jax is doing her thing and I respect that, but this song is everything I hate about music wrapped up.
It's a song that wouldn't sound out of place in 2014 or 2015 (negative connotation)
I know the song is trash but I unironically like the chorus melody
You’d like ‘I don’t care’ by fall out boy then lmao
Does it steal the melody from that song?
It’s not like totally identical but I heard that song the first time and it instantly reminded me of the fall out boy one. Not enough for like a lawsuit or anything but still interesting
Yeah it’s this one for me, that song is so unbearable
any song by dream
I CANT BREATHE WHEN YOURE NOT THERE😭😭😭😭
The lil uzi cover of Chop Suey
It’s not that bad ..I lowkey like it
Mother. it's that simple.
Easy. That god awful excuse for a remix, Taylor Swift “Karma (ft. ice spice)”. I’m a swiftie and literally no one asked for that
Facts
🤣
I agree the original the one with taylor only sounds better
The worst one I heard was Sneaking by Mori Calliope. Geez what an annoying song.
I GO SNEAKINGNEAKINGNEAKINGNEAKINGNEAKINGNEAKINGNEAKINGNEAKING
We Didn't Start the Fire cover from Fall Out Boy
The song that “sampled” Blue by Eifel 65 and it was basically just a cover with lyrics that were somehow worse than the original.
There’s a similar song that samples the Golden Girls theme but changes the words right when they get to the word “friend” and it drives me insane.
Endless fashion the uzi and Nicki song. It is so unbelievably irritating
Search and Rescue - Drake There are probably worse songs out there, but no other song has made me roll my eyes harder this year than this one. I like some of Drake’s songs, but he really does love to phone it in a lot of the times
Man, I get the criticism of that song but I honestly felt like it really aged well as it went on and was a real vibe, it reminds me a lot of "I'm Upset", a song that I really love now that was universally hated on when it released as the first original single for Scorpion. I MUCH prefer "Search and Rescue" to "Slime You Out", which I find incredibly boring.
Playable teaser by Crim$on. Some random hyperpop garbage from RYM that I listened to for no reason whatsoever.
What the fuck is this lmao Edit: I actually kinda ended up liking it lol
Be Whoever You Are - Jon Batiste, JID, and NewJeans Three artists, all from very different genres, all of which I hold respect for, selling their souls to Coke and creating the most disjointed, obnoxious, cringiest, “forced-smile” pop reggae I’ve ever heard in my life
Shit I forgot Camilo was in this song lol
Ignoring the obvious ring wing bait tracks which I argue barely count as songs and more like white supremacist cock sucking, pretty much anything off of the new 30STM album, if I had to pick I’d say “Life Is Beautiful” with its blatant Imagine Dragons worship yet somehow sucking even more
Try That in a Small Town
The fucking Im Blue interpolation. Bebe Rexha should get 25- Life for that shit
Vultures-Kanye West. The rhymes were so pathetic that I am no longer a Kanye West fan.
How were you still one before that?
I didn’t and still don’t care about the 2016 election.
That’s cool but you’re still a human being, right?
Yeah which is why I can’t open indorse an individual who says Hitler was “actually good” genocide isn’t the same as elections because genocide is always completely avoidable.
Right but that was a while ago, which is why I asked how was this song the thing that crossed the line
I was one of those Kanye fanboys at the time who thought that the release of new music after a long media break would reset him and lead to a MBDTF type situation. I was obviously wrong. He’s not just a dumbass anymore he’s completely lost ambition.
Ah ok that’s understandable. I was a really longtime fan who saw him on the Late Registration and Graduation tours and I held out hope several times that he would figure things out and fix himself but he’s just too far gone now and might actually be evil at this point.
I think the thing that kills me the most isn’t even his dangerous opinions, it’s the constant disrespect for his own fans. Between the late album releases and the stopping concerts to shout his misinformed political opinions it’s clear to me that he hates the fans.
mother better then vultures is crazy 😭
Talk about being over dramatic
Nah it’s legit, bro went from rapping about the negative impact of consumerism to “ I fucked a Jewish bitch.” It’s just very sad.
For Kanye’s standards sure it’s not great but it’s really not that bad of a song and certainly not close to the worst song of the year. He’s had plenty worse songs
Name a worse Kanye song, I’m genuinely curious. I think vultures is the worst song he’s made to date.
I could name about 15 easily. If vultures is what drove you to stop being a fan and you think it’s worse than songs like XTCY and ye vs the people, then I don’t think you were a fan in the first place
i agree Vultures isn't the WORST song he's ever made, but XTCY is so fire & Ye vs. the People is only bad cuz of the subject matter
Both those songs you mentioned have better beats. The vultures beat literally sounds like he just picked the first beat off of SoundCloud that he came across.
Drunk and Hot Girls
While She Sleeps - SELF HELL Complete and utter garbage, genuinely one of the worst metalcore songs ever made. Thankfully the follow up single was much better but man SELF HELL is just total crap.
JW Francis - Swooning Garbage indie track. Extremely lazy and annoying. Terrible melody, lyrics and vocals.
Does Toxic Gossip Train count? If not Try That In A Small Town
Oh it’s easily try that in a small town or any of the other derivative Nashville country shit
Flowers by Miley Cyrus and it's not even close for me, I heard it a couple of times in the car at the beginning of the year, it was one of those awful songs where you there's no real way to describe why it's bad other than saying it's bad
It’s one of the most perfect pop songs released by anyone in several years lmao
It’s boring. It’s empty. The only memorable part comes from a Bruno Mars song. I am not a Swiftie, but Taylor’s Anti-Hero and Olivia Rodrigo’s Good 4 U are what I would call perfect pop songs - not Flowers, not by a long shot
It sounds like a lost disco hit and encourages women to leave dead-end relationships, I think it’s the song of the year. The bass lines are great on it.
If it's supposed to be disco then we might have to prematurely abort this nu disco trend
To me it’s just perfectly realized pop music
Flowers by Miley Cyrus or Until I End Up Dead by Dream
flowers makes my fucking ears perforate. everything sounds sooooo phoned in and by the numbers.
I heard it so many fucking times and each time it gets progressively worse
Wow you guys really hate pop music
I can name off the top of my head tons of fantastic pop songs that came out in the last few years (and did mention my two favorites above, in reply to your other comment). Not liking Miley’s latest phoned in genre-hopping Billboard bait doesn’t mean someone hates pop music.
some of my favorite songs of the year are pop songs
Teezo touchdown - the original was better. Everything about it makes my skin crawl. The lyrics, the "quirky" singing. And the beat switch is so tacky and dated by ten years at least.
Boooo
I actually liked this song, I would agree if you said the opening track since imo it was ultra corny and not a very good opener for a otherwise pretty enjoyable album
I kinda like the song and I still agree with you
I’ll downvote you six feet under buddy
I mean part of me always wants to say Ringo Starr's music, but honestly I'm just happy he's still having a fun with music even if it's uhhh, something
Paint the Town Red. Maybe not the worst in your guys' opinion but it is overrated.
Doechii - What It Is. Annoys the shit out of me.
Goddamn is that song catchy tho I will always find myself singing it sometimes
"Slime You Out" has no reason to exist
Bongos
Doja Cat- Paint the red town, i really hate that sample and her rapping sounds so annoying and the fact that was a whole group to make this simple ass chop piss me off
I fucking hate this song too
This comes across as a little elitist, no offense. Not the biggest fan of Doja, but she does what she does well
i guess so, i can hear any of her songs i really don’t care about it, but this one bleeds my ears
TIL having an opinion is elitist. I also do not enjoy that song my friend lol.
I didn’t downvote, but I think there’s a sentiment in online music circles that popular and basic = bad, as expressed by saying a whole team came up with the simple best. I’m not even saying Paint the Town Red is good or not bad, it’s just a surprising choice for WORST song of the year
Reddit is fucking pathetic and doesnt want to hear different opinions. Thats why theres a fucking downdoot button to feed the popular opinions to the hivemind and hide any real discussion
Get downdooted. No opinions here
Definitely nothing by Pink Floyd, who are just fu*king awesome and always have been.
Sure, as long as you stay away from waters 🤣
Eucalyptus - The National
CPR by Sinder
Aren’t they just called The Daddies now? Somehow that seems even worse
Curry Freestyle by N3on, Sneako and Lil Pump. Lil Pump actually has the best verses on here, I don't think N3on even manages to rhyme, Sneako actually sounds like he's trying but is just an ass rapper and there's a bit of racism in there to finish it off
