rolling fuck this shit worst songs of 2015 thread

a) fight song is perfectly fine b) odd how the "hooray for teenage girls!" brigade doesn't have much use for songs actually meant for teenage girls, specifically to help them

I have been spared the spotify playlist from hell for a while but the monster is back with some new playlists now, a whole load of new garbage destroying all serenity and equilibirum. Vibeyness is in tatters now, branches snapped and tossed aside, leaves crushed underfoot, capitalists concreting over meadows.

His current weapon is something called Cool for the Summer. Its probably not as bad as the ones he was playing last time but theres been a period where he didnt play music and i began to recover and even forget that sounds like this has escaped into the wild like fire ants discarded as pets

I may be spending more time on this thread again as I cant afford a therapist

i love "fight song"

okay saer shitting on "cool for the summer" shall be the moment where we stop pretending to sympathize with his 'hell' of having to listen to pop music

i don't think "fight song" is that bad. i heard it at work back to back w/ "heartbeat song" once tho ('this is my heartbeat song' etc). that song is probably worse tbh lol

fight song is just watered down "Roar", i dont think it's terrible, it's just bland

and i have to say: katherine otm (xposts)

am I allowed to like the notion of inspirational anthems by/for teen girls and still never want to hear "fight song" again in my life

sure, of course, I wasn't talking about you. for what it's worth one of my friends in college got through some awful shit thanks to "Firework" and I can respect that while still knowing the song is ass

Came across this song the other day. Maybe not quite bad enough to warrant being part of this thread, and more the type of thing that I would have thought was cool and clever as a teenager, but now am to old and tired for:

Also I think I'm already sick of 90s revivalism.

the new FOB/Wiz thing is definitely bad enough for inclusion here but I don't think it's on YouTube yet

So I guess someone got to the Charlie Puth "get it on" song a while back -- I had never heard it until my phone ghost-played it tonight from my pocket, and then it took me a while to figure out how to shut it off because it was playing on some app I never use. Good god.

"it's kama sutra show and tell"

Still not a song this year worse than that one. xp

Maybe even in the past few years.

no one tell Saer I've been listening to this for the past 35 minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9EMINrmkOc

"Fight Song" is eye-rollingly derivative.

oh god my ears

so bad

just flagged the three of you

First part sounds derivative of all the artists who are derivative of her older work, second section sounds like Marissa Marchant.

you made it to the second section?

I wonder if the super-litigious Gaye estate will sue that Puth guy, even though I think it's an extreme longshot.

the writer of "marvin gaye" is credited on "countdown"!

"Marvin Gaye" #1 in New Zealand only... WE'RE SORRY PLANET EARTH. It's a climate thing, I think. I'm not really from here.

This year's crop of crap does seem to have a lot more name-dropping than usual – mentioning obvious Cool People from the Past. Maybe it's just nostalgia obscuring how shameless it always used to be. I'm also pretty sure Biggie never sang with Nirvana. Speaking of which,

now that the song is sabotaging its chances for radio airplay I find it charming

Does Halsey's line, "high on legal marijuana", get censored or not? I suppose, because it's legal marijuana, maybe the radio wouldn't bother. It'd be like bleeping out "high on ritalin". Pretty smart songwriting really! (Um, no.) I can so imagine that song being played by the support act at an Imagine Dragons concert. It's, like, not unexpected at all.

I found Death to the Strange's 'Sign On' (i.e. welfare) was the most horrible song in this thread, it really comes across as poor-bashing. Maybe unintended (they seem inept in general). But the song is two years old. Ineligible/Too shitty/Not shitty enough?

(for the end-of-2015 poll, I mean)

it's from 2012.

i have not heard halsey's song on the radio censored or uncensored and i hope it remains that way

when the citizens of the future unearth the 2015 time capsule this is what they're gonna find

that is some bad autotuning

i know complaining about autotune is older than any of these singers but that is just exceptionally bad

I don't know what Birdcloud's deal it. I guess they're a "comedy" duo, but whatever this is...just, NO.

deal is

That has about 300 views, doesn't quite merit mention imo.

It's no "I wanna dance I wanna dance I wanna dance with a black woman". Pretty bad tho.

I'd presumed everything itt must have gone to Billboard #1 from all the YT views and hatewatching. Glad to be wrong! (So far.)

woof at "New Americana"

we are the new americana
high on legal marijuana
raised on biggie and nirvana
we are the new americana

^ so much blackface in this video

that's among the very worst things i've heard this year
the video is amazingly amazingly bad for something that clearly took so much time
i'm ashamed that i knew more or less everyone of the 300 meme references, real "what am i doing with my life" head check moment

Maybe the ultimate shittiest rhyme of girl and girls.

Also winner of most punchable face

dunno if it approaches some of the no-name shit on this thread, but Fallout Boy "Centuries" is easily the shrillest, most irritating thing I actually hear out on a regular basis, usually while I'm waiting in line at the corner store. Loud, thin and crackley-sounding, and I guess it's some kind of commentary on teenage suicide pacts or something and it's just GAH. I had the hook looping through my head in my dreams last night and I awoke with an ugly headache. Also the Suzanne Vega sample is just ... there.

Thank you Singles Jukebox https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKQG1EJ5Lhs

... i like centuries...

feel like that "strip no more" is somewhere upthread

i like Fall Out Boy but agree that Centuries is absolutely grating

I posted it upthread, for the record I did not suggest it, I think I even voted no on it to avoid the inevitable

can i nominate every single song spotify ads throw up
