ILM's Top 77 Tracks of 2014

indie snob cadre loves this hot garbage lol

nowhere near as good as BIPP but it made my ballot

actually can't imagine a song i'll hate more in this poll

So does this still stay true, or does Hey QT overtake Uptown Funk in terms of hatred?

indie snob cadre loves this hot garbage lol

not all of us. ick.

i haven't heard this but i'll listen when i get home later

haha, I don't even know if I like this but it's so ridiculous I'm glad someone voted it their #1

My gf reckons Hannah Diamond's credited stuff is the best PC Music but this is the only one I voted for (quite low on my ballot but still) - it stands for something important, namely pissing off ILM pop worthies

I want to die

a.g. cook's "beautiful" is what i imagine great sex on molly to feel like

Someone give me a crash course on why some people love PC Music so much and some hate it.

"hey qt" is much more contemptible yes

though its boosters shouldn't get too excited, #50 is quite low given how hyped it was and i presume that's the entire atrocious pc music label done with now

It is also a great pop song imo

A minute of QT was neat. four minutes is not.

IN YOUR FUCKING FACES POP SNOB CADRE

the idea of "hey qt" being an anti-snob pick is hilarious and could only even think to be typed on ilm

fyi: it is not

B-)

this reminds me of that Annie track from a few years back, which I loved.
I'm in.

It is also, imnsho, a total blast conceptually (not the energy drink thing but how it sounds, a sort of garish post-art-pop that bangs hard while winking)

Back in my box!

Is this Ween or something?

Every countdown needs a Nyan Cat.

haha i think this is the first track i voted for to show up - very curious who was the #1 voter

does pc music actually have a geographical scene? do ppl actually go out anywhere to pc music club nights? or does it just exist entirely in a small internet bubble.

it makes total sense that qt's biggest fan itt is someone who earlier refused to listen to bruno mars and jennifer lopez on principle, the principle presumably being "ewwww pop"

the concept is incredibly inane and about the 9393483490343th iteration of it

speaking of dance music and annie i hope "russian kiss" places even tho i couldn't find space for it on my ballot ;_;

Every countdown needs a Nyan Cat.

And nobody nominated "Theme from Too Many Cooks"

garish post-art-pop that bangs hard

that describes 60%+ of the choices so far

i think PC music is fine but the ultimate problem is that discussing the theory of the music is far more interesting ("interesting") than actually listening to the music itself

not meant as compliment

I listened to both songs and praised the j-lo you mook xps

does pc music actually have a geographical scene? do ppl actually go out anywhere to pc music club nights? or does it just exist entirely in a small internet bubble.

see this (http://youtu.be/0Lni-Vbz1S0) for a hint as to what this 'scene' looks like

speaking of dance music and annie i hope "russian kiss" places even tho i couldn't find space for it on my ballot ;_;

i had to chop it too, but if you want electronic pop from a meta-pop artist with a concept behind it that actually means something and that also bangs, "russian Kiss" >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> anything those pc music twits could come up with

<3 U QT

first two songs will require me to renege on so very much prejudice to even start to listen

^^^the words of a qt fan on pop music

i srsly cannot believe how much ire and disdain QT draws

ha i meant outside the boiler room.

(wouldn't be surprised if the ppl enjoying that intersect with the same ppl who got pissed when grimes dropped tswift and mariah in her set).

i think popsters think QT is mocking them for liking pop music

I voted for Russian Kiss but can't see it placing.

lex aside i don't think QT/pc music is really that divisive ... it's the faction of their audience that argues that pc music is better/more worthwhile/more moral than pop that really drives the divisiveness imo

the QT is garbage but idk about villifying its audience

what is pc music im so lost

its things which sound like that qt record i think theyre all made by the same person maybe

I don't think it is better than pop. I just really like it ffs. Is it indie, though?

I don't care about QT's meta-pop stuff but they are the actual most sonically annoying thing in this poll, even include Tune-Yards.

including*

So some people think it's trolling and enjoy that and others think it's a troll and get irritated? What a bizarre little 2014 subculture. I heard QT a couple times and it inspired zero feelings in either direction.
