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

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

I love this thread and it's mostly just fun and games but that blackbear song seems...insidious? Maybe it's all the ~young people~ commenters extolling how they can relate to this song and it's their life? Yikes.

Tom Walker’s “Just You And I” (2019 version) was on loop for about an hour in the place I went for lunch today until I gave up and asked for a manager. It is now at the top of my list.

There is no Rolling Worst Attempts at Celebrity Lifestyle Branding 2019 thread, so I'll just put this here:

i'm prob the only person who really hates this but this is just one of the dogshit tracks on the presumably bad new blink-182 record

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9asRPqPbjo

morrisp has already posted it but Herve Pagez/Diplo/Charli XCX's "Spicy" (i.e. the Wannabe cover) might be the worst song of the year; it's certainly the least necessary

how's that new green day?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3N06KyK3s0

yes, it's what you're afraid it is

thanks! I hate it

The video is somehow even worse than the song.

Was that from the Booksmart soundtrack or something?

juice wrld is garbage in a particularly garbage field of garbage
