every time this 'Mean To Be' song by Bebe Rexha (apparently) comes on the radio it makes me feel physically nauseous. The lameness of the repeating lines 'ride with me, ride with me' like the most watered-down version of pop-country, I feel like I'm on a horrible merry-go-round that I can't get off. There's plenty of tosh out there but not since Meghan Trainor has there been a song that actually make me want to barf.

Apparently a 2017 song, though I've only heard this horrifying thing in the past few weeks. Three times now and gets progressively worse each time.

The actual YouTube comments on this thing are pretty funny, btw: lots of back and forth about whether the song was made for people who were kids in 2002 vs people who were *born in* 2002.

Well, that song is woeful. Are there any other songs mining the 00s for "nostalgia feels" yet or will this be the beginning of a new trend in pop?
― triggercut, Thursday, 3 May 2018 08:55 (five years ago) link
Also, I feel like Alan Partridge saying this, but the "now we're under the covers" lyric caught me off guard. You think she's still singing about being 11 at that point. I know you only have to wait a couple of beats to find out they're now 18, but for a couple of moments there I've got an image of 2 naked 11 year olds in bed together. Poor songwriting!

No one with any sense of shame has any business making pop music.

Lucinda Williams, Steve Earle and Dwight Yoakam are doing an LSD tour this year but I don’t think they’re collaborating on an album or anything.

― niels, Friday, 4 May 2018 11:43 (five years ago) link
i think it's far worse than the xtina song, which - while certainly chaotic - is a vast improvement on the dross from her last album
― monotony, Friday, 4 May 2018 14:29 (five years ago) link
"Red Hot Kinda Love" still sounds great
― maura, Friday, 4 May 2018 14:36 (five years ago) link
i wouldn't say i *like* that xtina song but it's certainly more interesting than the lead singles from her last two albums

I don't think there's anything terrible enough that the "this is the dumbing down of society!" brigade in YT comments can't make me side with.

I actually really like the beat on that one, but everything else is bad. Apparently her album is called Suicidal Since 1995 :/

that song is apparently from 2016...

Mental health is another topic usually shielded from pop music and, as a young person myself, seeing someone like yourself addressing mental health feels incredibly refreshed and necessary. Why do you think it is still considered a taboo topic in music?Suicidal thoughts is my biggest inspiration I think. I think suicidal thoughts are more common than you think and I want people to know that. Things can look so damn sparkly on the internet but behind all that most people are terrified of everything.

lol @ that song/video
― i’m still stanning (morrisp), Tuesday, 5 June 2018 17:26 (five years ago) link
oh yeah that's def 2016, didn't even check since it showed in my recommended videos (what have I been doing on yt) and just assumed it was new
the song is perhaps not that horrible, just sounds like a very contrived Uffie pastiche, and it def sounds like they did not put in much effort (maybe they should have just asked someone for help with the lyrics/structure, I mean it sounds like something you come up with after getting high or on a night on the town, but then you take that "idea" and work with it) anyway sry for the 2016 derail
