^^^^^barfing at the thought of that

Oh, these guys.

Youtube keeps recommending this All About That Bass parody to me:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6xXEaWz5Iw

I had never heard of this guy but he seems to be popular? he has about a million song parody videos all of which seem to be based on him dressing as a woman and crossing his eyes, Brian Conley as Septic Peg style

his videos all look really expensive too!

not having any of this:

Everytime I think "Music's in a really good place now. Technology has allowed anyone who wants to make music to make it, and then get it out to people who might want to hear it. So cool!" something like this comes along and I immediately think "Well, it was a nice run."

what the fucking fuck even is that, exterminate all the brutes

Gross.

"gross" otm

wow, that's really really really offensively terrible, like, on every level- the talk about the OC and the general wanna-be vibe makes me wonder if it's some rich kids from Orange County trying to buy a pop career- like was it shot at some horseriding enclosure where Mom practices showjumping or something?

sounds like they had to heavily filter and mix those vocals so low because there's no there there on any level, and when even the hook is stolen and the trap beats are wack and phoned in, it's like, ugh

calling this "music" is like, I dunno, dumping MSG in rubber cement and calling that "cooking"

Part of me really wants it to be deliberate, like they were purposefully going for alienation, instructing the girls in the video to look as bored and depressed as possible, etc. But I bet they're just idiots who think they've made something awesome.

The video, filmed in a strip clup, "portrays a plasticized version of Hollywood sleaze," and features "additional direction from Prettypuke and Dan Gotti." Gabe from Uzi describes the duo's mission in simple terms: "All the weird kids are taking over."

Don't get me wrong, this is flat-out terrible but how are you guys not desensitized to shit like this by now

"all the weird kids are taking over"

yeah this reads as too earnest and too satisfied with itself to be some sort of deliberate critique.

Wow, the new Faith No More song suuuuuuuuuuuucks.

It totally belongs on this thread once it's got a video.

sorry to hear that

It's being discussed on the FNM thread, but I actually like it!

I know Nickelback is a super easy target for this kind of thread, but holy fuck, their new album has a song with Flo Rida and it's indescribably bad:

xpost but that "all the weird kids are taking over" line just depresses me more

thinking that you can have it both ways by pretending to critique the misogyny you reinforce = not weird, garden variety hyprocrisy

thinking you can just appropriate anything (in this case, trap) because it's "plastic" and that therefore your shitty version of something gets to be "commentary" about it = not weird, standard operating procedure

treating women like dehumanized props in a fantasy about male power = not weird, numbingly familiar

it's not an interesting Andy Warhol-esque deadpan strategy to be a moron, it's just called being a moron

I mean I know that this thread is for shit that sucks, but man the idea that the people behind that song think that they are in some way "weird" or "different" is just enraging to me in a special way that goes beyond just noticing that their song is bad, like I feel some kind of ethical nausea/vertigo when I imagine how they justify what they're doing to themselves

time to go pet a kitten or something

Hope you're not implying by posting that Austerlitz piece that somehow my dislike of Uzi means that I don't like pop music or am somehow akin to Austerlitz.

I like pop music just fine. I just don't like poorly executed bullshit.

No worries if I'm reading you wrong, just checking.

nah he was trolling a whole bunch of threads with that piece it stems from a dogfight over some BS in another thread. long story.

(trust me he feels similarly to the dipshit caucasoid austerlitz)

i think we have a winner for the absolute worst ever, like ever ever

that was last year! iirc unperson defended it

oh my b i was only just informed this vomitous genre of "deathcore" is a think that exists

always great to see that some wites still think it's ok to say n---a *backflips into lake of fire*

*thing

I would like to reiterate this appeal

we should really poll these, so many contenders this year

the guitar solo guy with the denim jacket looks so awkward and lost in the group shots outside the house

:( That Lil Dicky song upthread is not even close to his worst song
I am not reposting shit
I want to die

Yeah, that Attila song was from last year. They do have a new album out this year, though - it's called Guilty Pleasure. I wrote a feature on them for Alternative Press. The singer has a solo album coming out next year sometime. Here's the first single/video:

Yikes

Outstays its welcome, but better than "Punk Rock 101," and at least not totally underwritten lyrically. Should have mixed up the chorus a bit more, and the video isn't funny enough.

Their follow up single might be worse:

And also has a blatant "Call Me Maybe" mention.

calvin harris "open wide" feat big sean ticks so many boxes of badness

it's hard to believe that there is much worse than this
