post malone and chainsmokers are the twinned nadir

Yeah I was thinking of them too

yeesh

what the fuck is this shit

a song from 2014, apparently

Surprised this hasn't been posted here yet. Too obvious?

Ha, I was wondering if anything Toto or Weezer related had popped up in this thread yet!

omg

jesus

Stay away from today’s kids, Paul!

this is amazing because of the sheer number of axes it is bad on

at least this is making me feel a bit better abt the new 1975 song in comparison

I forwarded it to a (Paul-loving) friend; he commented that the beat/chord progression reminds him of this:

time to rerun the solo beatles poll

i think we can just put this at no. 1 and bump everything down one notch

yeah this is horrible

disappointment plays a part

It's a definite 'how do you do fellow kids' moment but not THAT bad as a tune. Like, I think it'd be a sweet little ditty if not for the awful title/conclusion of the chorus.

It's like Galway Girl but worse

great day for George people

george was a big fan of Brute Force's "King of Fuh" and got it issued on the Apple label. i haven't heard this new song because my life is hard enough without my going out of my way to torture myself but i'm going to postulate that paul's new song can't be _that_ much worse.

is there a worst merch thread

Let it be known that my most embarrassing son, big boy sex-haver Zayn Malik, has the WORST fucking piece of merch I've ever seen for sale on his website pic.twitter.com/STEBeQqFp1

finally figured out what the Macca song reminds me of:

+ Ryan Tedder

I don't know who "grandson" is but jesus he's like a compendium of irritating 00s vocal tics

jesus christ @ paul mccartney

that doja cat moo song

oh come on, what young girl doesn't want to hear that they are worth more than every single gold chain, or hear the immortal words "you know I'm gonna smash it"

Quick-skipped past this abortion on the SYTYCD finale:

Some d-bag turned one of my favorite Tom Waits songs into a Big Bad Voodoo Daddy outtake.

“If you’re looking for lyrics, if you’re looking to cry, if you’re looking to think about life, don’t listen to hip-hop. There’s great hip-hop songs where they talk about life and they spit that real shit, but right now, there’s not a lot of people talking about real shit... Whenever I want to cry, whenever I want to sit down and have a nice cry, I’ll listen to some Bob Dylan. Or whenever I’m trying to have a good time and stay in a positive mood, I listen to hip-hop. Because it’s fun. I think hip-hop is important because it brings people together in a beautiful, happy way.”

this is a very strange quote from post malone because, to me, his music is far from happy. it's like the paradigm of what mark fisher called depressive hedonia

not that i would expect post malone to be self aware but you know

haha, that tom waits cover is very bad

i feel very sad that a certain subset of gay men on the internet think that this reads as the future of pop

woulda posted this earlier but i thought it had already gotten posted

Is Marshmello some kind of Deadmau5 knockoff(?)

what if marshmello is actually just dr luke in a mask

oh jk he's not actually one of those anonymity-gimmick djs anymore

the "*OFFICIAL FRIENDZONE ANTHEM*" in the youtube vid title is just lol

yikes that's poor

the sweet but psycho is also crap, #1 in Denmark atm, at least it channels a bit of early gaga

it's a bit too obvious for my taste
