Rolling Worst Music of 2019

that's bad but more so earnest it makes me a little uncomfortable.

omg that Steve Aoki thing is making me weep it's the most embarrassing thing i've heard in years.

that is horrific

Holy shit that's bad. My daughter and her friend are obsessed with Darren Criss. I keep conflating his name with Peter Criss and Criss Angel: Mind Freak.

ok, regardless of whether that Avett thing is the worst of the year or not, i'm kinda dying to know if:

a) the Avett Army has broken out in civil war over that song, brother against brother-style, OR

b) if they're all just so blindly loyal and believe the boys can do no wrong and, thus, everyone loves it

it's definitely one of the two.

i hate lots of songs all the time that don't get posted here

tf is this person and how can we stop it

From what I can tell, Avett fans are kind of mixed on the recorded song, but agree that the song *live* is the best song ever.

Tonight, we go all night long
We party like Post Malone
Don't tell me to go-o-o
Yeah, we are never, ever going home, tonight
Ain't nobody kill my vibe
Don't tell me to go-o-o
Yeah, we are never, ever going home

this song is like cliché bingo

oh lol I just heard this song on So You Think You Can Dance but never really registered it as particularly bad since there's a million generic pop songs that sound like it

We party like Post Malone

i was like "that's a terrible line" then i click the link and it's the title of the damn song!!!

definitely belongs in this thread

Taco Tuesday made me cry

I saw an email - "Hinder Premieres Cover Of Eagles Song On Loudwire" and tweeted that every element in that sentence seemed like it should be from five years ago.

amazingly otm

We party like Post Malone

heard this in a shopping mall today (walked out of the store immediately) and came to this thread to see if it had already been posted

This goes here because it is the worst music of 2019

I have watched this twice and I simply can't believe it's real and that I haven't just been gassed by the Scarecrow's fear toxin pic.twitter.com/Qgn36xl6WC

no deal brexit now

wtf I love Brexit now

suspect it may be some new form of russian black ops

I like how they staged a little rally for the video.

OK, my daughter's friends asked her if she wanted to see Surfaces, so she asked me if she could. I had never heard of the band before, and between the generic name and the general who-the-fuck? vibe of the act there's just not much of a web presence I could find (unless it's on the dark web, aka Instagram). But I did find their latest video:

So what the fuck is this shit?

This doesn't sound altogether different from much of the pop crap ILX regularly stans for. Maybe if they didn't look like refugees from Degrassi?

The group has been praised for its genre-bending, feel-good music that has been compared to the likes of Sugar Ray and Rex Orange County.

The pair began their creative partnership by exchanging iPhone voice memos

west coast youtube vapid pop; not out of place in this thread

i watched like two of the videos in this thread and then this came up on my yt recommended

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wFwPh-KbEY

this is like... post-mummy bought me a mustang for christmas band.

"She plays bass
Nothing matters 'cause we're both in space
Pretty shit we didn't ever date"

...really?

Can't find a youtube link for it or anything, but Bootsy Brewski Boogie by Bootsy Collins appeared on my Spotify release radar playlist and it is distinctively awful. It also appears to double as an ad for Bootsy Collins' brewery

"she plays bass" is actually great, will not be upset if all major label indie pop attempts to be the sundays

the lyrics of "She Plays Bass" are awful but her vocal tone and the guitars are lovely enough I'll forgive it

Was going to add a comment about She Plays Bass but katherine and boxedjoy have just said everything I wanted to say, so, yes, those things.

Also

the pop crap ILX regularly stans for

is quite the quote for next time there's an argument about rockism on here (next week probably)

i think i've seen that user post a variation on that exact comment several times before, not sure if he contributes anything constructive in threads that i don't read or if he just hate-reads this site then complains on it on rym or something

i'm into She Plays Bass

The new Tool album has leaked.

fuck a Tool

I was trying to figure out which long lost '90s indiepop Beabadoobee reminded me of, and I settled on The Autocollants. You Lie All the Time is probably my favorite song of hers

*indiepop act

“She Plays Bass” definitely illustrates how terrible lyrics can ruin an otherwise good-sounding song.

(Awful band name, too... the two counts of self-sabotage are impressive)

Didn't think that could get worse but then the guitar and glockenspiel showed up

His ex's friends otm.

this that throw up in your birken bag
also dude, nsync did the marionette thing like twenty plus years ago
