canadian artists trying very hard to replicate the sound from "the hampster dance" and the rednex version of "cotton eyed joe"

Either the song is called "Baby Dic" & the artist is Death Metal Dizzle or the song is "Death Metal Dizzle" and the artist is Baby Dic, either way ummmm man what a horrifying new rap metal hybrid

Wow, the Fred Durst revival has begun already? BAD
xxp It does have the banjo like Hampster Dance and Rednex, but it's lacking the overbearing desire to annoy that made us love those songs. Imo Coleman Hell is aiming to be Rednex but has fallen short (i.e. Mumford).

as usual, i don't hate Macklemore as much as the rest of ilm, tho i agree he's the worst thing about that song.

Slim Jesus a viral star? The old generation of viral stars must be facepalming in their graves.
On the question "Does This Is My Hair belong here?", I was tempted to say yes, but that song seems pretty unremarkable, even dull, to me. The video and bad jokes do make it quite annoying.

We'll have to veto out a few entries. I don't think e.g. Joanna Newsom or Demi Lovato can really match the thread's low bar for consensus awfulness

did tyga just boast "i've got the TheraFlu"?
god what a bad song. this kind of lyrical theme is pretty much guaranteed to launch something into this thread, but it manages to get so much of the low-level craft stuff so wrong even while being just about as bone-headed with regard to the premise as i would have guessed.

"NEW AMERICANA" CENSORSHIP WATCH DAY 107: Halsey's video was on TV in New Zealand. These truly are the Halsey-On days. Unfortunately The Edge TV is censoring the "marijuana" line, thus suppressing her meaningful message. (Kiwis barely even know what weed is.) Thanks to a cheapo audio reversal, she now sings "Smoking legal anaaa-wram". I didn't pay much attention to the vid itself, but, like you'd expect, it contains fuzzy VHS effect nonsense and Halsey being tied to a stake.
― flyingtrain (sbahnhof), Wednesday, 21 October 2015 19:30 (eight years ago) link
Even though all the posts on the song here are about radio censorship, we *are* considering "New Americana" one of the worst of '15, right?
Andy Grammar's "Honey, I'm Good" is the only hit single from this year that I actually hate more.
― Fetty Wap Is Strong In Here (cryptosicko), Wednesday, 21 October 2015 19:37 (eight years ago) link
We'll have to let the voters decide :-) For me, there's at least a dozen songs in the thread that I dislike more than "New Americana" – it doesn't push my buttons as much as, say, "Fucking Bitches in the Hood". Anything really lazy and mean-spirited, that's what I like (i.e. hate).
If last year's top 2 is anything to go by, the poll winners won't necessarily be the two most 'unlistenable' songs, but two well-known and terrible songs. I reckon "Marvin Gaye" is a shoo-in, but MAYBE NOT, it's all to play for.
― flyingtrain (sbahnhof), Friday, 23 October 2015 02:00 (eight years ago) link
No, Marvin Gaye is absolutely a shoo-in.
