Rolling Worst Music of 2019

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.

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.

So... bit of a backstory on this one: this guy is actually the not so talented brother of a famous soccer player in Mexico. Earlier this year he was invited to sing on meme-song “La Cobra” which was a big party hit in Mexico, and like most party hit, it’s terrible but also somewhat fun for a while.

This is the follow-up single after the success of the first one. It’s pretty much a remake, only this time they tried too hard to make it a meme video and song and it shows. This is just terrible, forced party music and the video is a cringefest for everyone involved.

Usually this thread is a lot more full by July so maybe this actually isn't the worst year.

hmmm maybe we’ve just become numb to run of the mill bad stuff... i forgot to post the kygo remix of whitney’s “higher love” and like 80000 other shitty “bops” with beats by boring dudes

luckily there’s steve aoki

Don't think I've ever heard the Avett Brothers before, despite them being relatively high profile and a long-lasting enterprise. But boy did this song rub me the wrong way:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwebrzEldA0

The video maybe made things worse? Very taking-the-piss, so not ironic it's ironic? I can't tell.

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

sorry that’s a double post. blackbear is the worst.

what was this? the youtube is gone.

Look who’s back:

"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

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
