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.

haha, i read that ^ as he's unveiling, like, a new basketball jersey on the merch section of his website, and it says Macklemore on the back and Downtown on the front where the city name would go, and he'd probably be #2 because, y'know, dropping a deuce

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.

Feline Resurrection not getting enough consideration here
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Friday, 23 October 2015 06:57 (eight years ago) link
It takes a while to respond to, what with the video being about two weeks long. For those who haven't seen/heard it, it's like if the Albatraoz people decided to be intellectuals.

― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Friday, 23 October 2015 16:17 (eight years ago) link
The translation on the intro to Feline Resurrection doesn't work at all because in Chinese she's clearly specifying "cow milk" which has no sexual connotation whatsoever (also you 'eat' breast milk in Chinese, but anyway). Guessing that whoever translated it really didn't care, and can't blame them.

I have been in Germany and unable to watch most of the videos in this thread. Which I found annoying, until just now, when back in my GEMA-free home, I played Feline Resurrection, which is not only the worst song on this thread, but the worst song of all time.
