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.

like sure, it'd be great to be the maverick and vote for something other than the well-known consensus pick but "Honey, I'm Good" invokes a kind of rage nothing else matches

same, there have been points where i've put myself and others in serious danger because the first half second ("NA-") came on the radio and 100% of my attention immediately goes to making it stop

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.
― flyingtrain (sbahnhof), Friday, 23 October 2015 10:38 (eight years ago) link
Feline Resurrection is like the cat equivalent of the bird-people wrestling anthem from Always Sunny.
― the naive cockney chorus (Simon H.), Friday, 23 October 2015 12:09 (eight years ago) link
also i'm pretty sure the opening is racist although its also incoherent so its kind of hard to get a handle on
― 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.
― Camaraderie at Arms Length, Tuesday, 27 October 2015 15:29 (eight years ago) link
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. WHO COULD THAT APPEAL TO AND WHY ARE THEY NOT IN JAIL ALREADY?
― Three Word Username, Tuesday, 27 October 2015 16:07 (eight years ago) link
why is the video for Feline Resurrection 7 minutes long?

"We were already sold when we saw these three giant yetis shredding it in PPL MVR's only video - but then we heard the music, and were completely won over. Not much is yet known about this power trio - other than they only communicate in interviews through grunts. The future of rock might be slightly hairier now, but colour us intrigued.

I'm not watching the J Sutta video but I am listening to the audio; the song is incredibly embarrassing, like "Corey Feldman with a production budget"-level embarrassing
― I Am Curious (Dolezal) (DJP), Wednesday, 28 October 2015 14:24 (eight years ago) link
It's good how the cat intro was acted in English, then dubbed into Chinese and subtitled in English. That's dedication.
I think we've had worse. But in the interest of fairness, I'd like to see "Feline Regurgitation" extended to include a list of credits and ads for merch.
― flyingtrain (sbahnhof), Wednesday, 28 October 2015 19:08 (eight years ago) link
ok in principle i am not really opposed to a video all about a loving little consensual BDSM scene where someone has a profound cat/milk fetish. but why does it turn into a creepy murder scene after that? i guess the plot is that this scene went awry and that our protagonist has mixed feelings about it? or is the whole thing some stupid metaphor for resenting your mother? not well thought out.
it's always weird when these featherweight dopey songs, with not a lot going on in the 'main' video, bother shooting a whole separate prologue and a long instrumental break. like maybe they could have used that footage for the verses or something, relieve the monotony.
the song itself is garbage but only the way that everything else is.
― Gorefest Frump (Doctor Casino), Wednesday, 28 October 2015 20:18 (eight years ago) link
I heard an awful song that Shazam told me was Grouplove "Ways To Go" but turns out it's from 2013.
Also I've grown to REALLY hate Jason Derulo "Want To Want Me," but I feel like a decent percentage of ILX probably enjoys it.
So with that said, here's Rod Stewart:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6Gxz9WsTAo

shazam has appeared on my computer somehow and when a car drives past it tells me the name of the antagonistic sounds that i can just about block out. cars are bad enough for the environment as it is but there is no need for these sounds not only to follow me home but to identify themselves in this way
