Rolling Worst Music of 2019

oh...wow

The 90s revival is complete.

every generation gets the viva brother they deserve

If there's a way that music as bad as that Yungblud thing can be prevented from making it off the island in future, then Brexit will be worth it (to the rest of the world).

Knew the revive would be bcz of the fully deserved Malkmus stinker

I mean if you'd asked me in 1999 what Malkmus would be doing in 2019, my guess wouldn't have been too far from literally everything about that song and video.

I think it’s... fine

the yungblud sounds entirely indistinguishable from what white men were preferentially listening to for an entire decade

It sounds like if One Direction had just discovered Oasis or the Happy Mondays to me.

that's SM's lead single :|

Lukas "Strip No More" Graham covering XXXTentacion's "SAD!"; thread can be locked now

is this the thread for when you're painfully bored with a current aesthetic that refuses to die?

So far 2019 is musically the worst year of this decade imo

in the nick of time.

k

Just checked the RYM top 200 records. Statistically, i like about 15-20 records from that list per year. now i found only 1. So unless the next 2/3rd of the year is going to be amazing, 2019 will be the worst

Sticking to the current top 10, Weyes Blood, The Caretaker, Waste of Space Orchestra, Billy Woods & Kenny Segal and Inter Arma are all great.

It's subjective of course.

Plus Little Simz (imo)

There's never been a year when RYM has basically jacked my own personal taste so hard haha

Quelle Chris and Little Simz aren't half bad either, although I think I prefer the former based on a cursory listen of each.

Alwsys Lot's of hip hop and metal on RYM, which i don't like, but maybe more so this year

Life is too short for Wandelweiser, though. Or my not having access to proper speakers atm (the worst part about being an ephemeral expat imho) is drawing me away from infrasounds.

Have you tried Maja S. K. Ratke's Sult? Or Maurice Louca's Elephantine?

Oh I like Quelle Chris too! Bung that on the list yeah.

This is now the rolling best 2019 music thread.

in honor of "sweet but psycho" being spammed every 1.5 hours on the top 40 station here that i am astonished my cow*rkers can apparently tolerate leaving on for the entire day

Shout out to the unnecessary apostrophe in the title, and how it's basically just a straight rip of that terrible 2002 song that is still popular right now.

wow, that is awful. contrived and clunky.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bV7_lOPvkac

that's good not bad

for each successive remix they should add someone who has a word that rhymes with hat that they can highlight in their verse.

I'M A BRAT MAN (Bushido raps about eating sausage)
I'M A GNAT MAN (Tiny from Xscape sings about being short)
I'M THE BATMAN (Robert Pattinson mumbles something)
I'M A LAT MAN (Terry Crews flexes)

This should optimally continue for seven hours.

get that out of this thread it rules

biddy biddy bop

it's an insult to the original!

I guess the point is that it’s terrible but it’s definitely not a case of “so bad it’s good”, it’s not even fun.

come back Kraeyshawn all is forgiven

kreayshawn was always good

do you reckon that q'v'een herby is brazenly trying to break into the thinkpiece cycle (/pick up a few stray rageclicks here n there) or is she really truly following her muse here

oh danny brown, why

Qveen Herby is truly queen of the herbs

how horrendous can a chris brown song be and still be a hit on urban radio

No ceiling and no floor (feat. Qveen Herby)

I hate this.

yeah that sucks, also who likes sundays?

...she does:

she doesn't like sundays, she just finds them preferable to mondays

what hath chance wrought

xp She says they're her fun days! That's pretty positive

that would actually be a pretty good video if those two guys got stabbed right when they come into the office and the remaining 2:30 is just ambient office sounds

lol

Man, I was stuck in a dentist's waiting room this morning, and no joke, whatever playlist they had on seemed to be literally all of my least favorite songs from the past several years, from "Hey Soul Sister" to that Bruno Mars "Count On Me" song to the Fray to ... well, more Train. I heard that atrocious "Play That Song" and "Drops of Jupiter," too. A lot of Train. I almost had to leave.

"dance monkey" is now becoming a big hit in the states oh dear

My daughter went with a friend to see a band called ... Watersports? Waterparks? Waterpolo? Whatever it was, it sounded miserable.

ugh, never heard "Dance Monkey" until just now. It's bad, but the wiki entry starts with the makings of a good short story.

"Watson was born and raised in Mount Martha on the Mornington Peninsula. She learned how to play keyboards and drum pads at high school and later gathered experience performing local gigs and festivals."

It's been #1 over here for nine weeks now. Send help

i almost admire the "dance monkey" singer's commitment to her downright bizarre vocal affectations

Update: apparently my family has indeed heard it, but they do not seem to be fans. That sort of vocal affectation is all over the place these days.

i like dance monkey...

what was this? the youtube is gone.

It was this:

ffs

okay I just figured out the name of this song on the radio where an insane cursed puppet child shrieks about all the terrible things she's going to do to you unless you carry out her bidding.

It's 'Dance Monkey' by Tones & I

my niece (12) loves this song and she's right

It's one of these culture shock moments when you realise that something so weird can have such huge mass appeal... Her commitment to singing like a haunted Miss Piggy is commendable, but it also freaks me TF out.

the vocal is so crazy it just adds to the enjoyment/annoyance

ive never heard "before" pronounced as "befoay"...before

i was thinking more "demonic baby" than "insane cursed puppet child" myself

there have been times when i turned on the radio right in the middle of a particularly bizarre vocal 'moment' from that tune and it can be legitimately frightening

WHAN YAR DAN AH MEHK YA DOOV EET ALL AGEEYN

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9qMC5VIJGA

ahaha my 5 year old requests this song now, they must be playing it at 4K

took me a minute or so to realize the song was in fact in English

i don't "like" that song but i appreciate it in the midst of everything else on the pop radio station because at least it has some character

true, at least it's not bland. i swear pop is getting creepier lately

but yeah it's a pretty annoying song

heard it being given the acoustic guitar treatment in piccadilly circus a few weeks ago

i think Tones & I started off as a busker

she did. i like it! i also understand how it could turn rancid with replay.

fyi Rolling Worst Music of 2020

wow the Dance Monkey video is like, a Jackass skit circa 2001
