An industrial/nu-metal duo covering Hole:

a holdover from 2019 technically but

I don't hate that. It's no better or worse than a dozen similar songs I've heard in the last month.

I am definitely rolling with this slice of worst music

i feel like the entire new la roux album belongs in here

I can no longer tell the difference between "good" and "bad" pop music.

Just follow my lead—if I like it, it's good ;)

oh good, now we get a year of major label off brand megan trainor signees

saw an advert for a band named winston surfshirt on my way into work. can't listen to music right now but going to assume they belong here

That guy is absolved of his crimes by virtue of brevity imo

Pootie Tang 2020.

almost did a spit take when he started rapping, a++++

I really wish I'd had my headphones on quieter before hitting play on that.

watching him do the voice unaccompanied is even more unsettling (starting around 2:10)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuOMzbB4CVc&feature=youtu.be

oh wow i'd just assumed he was using some pitch-shifting effect to get that sound, not doing the world's squeakiest falsetto

tangenttangent was invited to a gig tomorrow

this is one of the bands

this is another of the bands

I spend some of my lunchtimes cleaning up acoustic (like pre-1925 pre-electric-mic) recordings and they have this narrow band of recorded sound, so you can cut off a lot of surface noise by fading down the high and low ends of the EQ. I could put that same filter over the Hide Your Mother track and it would still sound the same.

That just sounds to me like a variation on pretty much every popular rap single since 2010

i haven't heard them because i don't have the stomach, but i feel like psychedelic nazis Black Magick SS probably belong here

I don't believe for a moment this band has any ties to nsbm, it's merely this year's Uncle Acid + edgelordiness. Music for Discogs speculators. That said, undeniably catchy from the bits I just heard online, not even close to worst music of 2020 imo. Sounds a little like Ghost BC via Bone Awl

lol, ponzi this isn't a "defend the indefensible" thread but your eagerness to immediately cape for some nazi bullshit you had literally never heard of five minutes ago is duly noted

also, lol that you "don't believe they have any ties to nsbm", you know hitler was in a band before burzum, right?

I check out everything posted itt and your post's (understandable) lack of a link inspired me go listen. I was expecting terrible music but didn't hear any. It just sounds like boilerplate catchy / crusty bm to me, albeit boilerplate catchy / crusty bm with questionable sleeve art

a quick look into it reveals they've released stuff on multiple actual nsbm labels so lol at the idea that they have no ties to nazism and are just edgelords using nazi imagery (which would still be indefensible)

For my own edification, which of these two labels has ties to usbm?

www.discogs.com/label/1335453-Creep-Purple

www.discogs.com/label/164278-Infinite-Wisdom-Productions

Because these are the only two labels who've released music by this band according to Discogs outside of obvious bootleg labels with this as their only release

obviously I meant nsbm

if you're willing to go look up their music to satisfy your curiosity, i'm sure you can just as easily look up their past affiliations with nazi record labels. i didn't post what i did to open up a discourse.

uh idk i think that "reich of the black sun" cassette on infinite wisdom looks pretty iffy??

I'm sure SS stands for Secret Santa

oh damn black magick ss doesn't have nazi themes in their music.... yet has a big ol' "ss" in their band name.... which means they're fuckin nazis

oh damn black magick ss doesn't have nazi themes in their music.... yet has a big ol' "ss" in their band name.... which means they're fuckin nazis

Yeah, I don't see the problem...

they've released vinyl on German nsbm label Darker Than Black and searching reveals a number of the bands on Infinite Wisdom are also nazis (Wolfblood, Baal Gadrial, Reich of the Black Sun). there's probably more but i'm too lazy to look further and it's pretty clear

I can’t get enough of the David Guetta video. I will watch it every time it shows up on the TL. The extended cut with a random Robert Pires appearance? Inject it. pic.twitter.com/b0MaXFWs82

Danzig - Danzig sings Elvis

crusty bm

Worst genre name 2020

I listened to a few tracks from that Danzig record, and it actually is kind of okay! but i also have a deep affection for Danzig's voice, and do impressions of him all the time lol.

/thread

Great, he's Canadian too.

anti abortion line, cool, is he stealth xtian?

dude was a wrestler

a family member texted me this video yesterday

oh this isn't in this thread yet. for completion's sake here it is

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89degLrNZM8

Ugh I think I hate the comment section that seems like it’s all paid to comment users more but yeah it’s terrible music.

i was flipping thru channels and a song on the radio so toothless and insipid it made me angry. googled some lyrics, turns out it's harry styles. who i had avoided previously, and whose name is ironic because his music is bereft of any style at all

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E07s5ZYygMg

*and heard

Insipid, Lol

Fine Line is a cracking album

this single ensures i will never give it a chance, it's only fair

“Watermelon Sugar” is good!
It’s also this year’s hit but last year’s song.

consider me on team insipid tbh

I made it 25 seconds into that Surf Mesa thing. The original song was horrible, and this is a horrible update.

I don't find Harry Styles charming or appealing at all, really, but he can at least sing. And that song sounds like the musicians were awake while they recorded it, which is a change of pace from 90% of the current pop I stumble across. They should have gone full retro Philly soul with the arrangement, though, because the parts where there are horns and drums are the best parts by about a thousand miles.

that logic is kind of what allowed charlie puth to happen on ilm though

lol it sounds like the musicians were awake but just barely

it's like walmart's marketing department decided to expand into the music biz all mean tested and water(melon)ed down

i'm still laughing at the edgy white rapper with face tattoos and black contacts who goes by the name of "tom macdonald"

irl lol

there is a weird Xtian/Q Anon vibe to all the comments on Tom MacDonald's videos. All this stuff about how he doesn't curse like the evil industry rappers and how he might be "Suicided" for calling out corporate music and the Illuminati. Then there's this:

2 weeks ago
Why does a self made self respecting man like this reminding me of the outlaws of country like Waylon hank jr and sr Merle haggard and Johnny cash men who didn’t care what record labels thought and sung the songs they wrote and how they felt

Johnny Qash, HanQ Williams Jr., Merle HagQard, and Waylon JenninQs, cheQs out.

Wait, did nobody post the Ian Brown COVID song here yet?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOHn6KurHE0

outrageously lame, cloaked in pseudo-progressive set-dressing and middle-class true-american posturing but with all the musical bite and cleverness of a graham cracker
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvPsJFRGleA

Is justin bieber thing to just repeat the title word as a chorus? I don’t really feel in the mood to relisten to his singles but iirc “baby”, “sorry”, “yummy” and now this one have a chorus where he just repeats 2 syllable words 10x times.

Not really hating on those singles - althought yummy and holy are abysmal - but just noticed that thing. Just like Lady Gaga’s thing is to stutter in her choruses.

feels like cheating maybe there's a separate thread for awful corp music

forgot to post this here... like, surprise, 2021 is going to suck too

even worse was the clean radio edit that replaced "bitcheeeees" in the 1st verse w/ "it's liiiiiiit"

omg, lmao

i would enjoy hearing someone yelling "ayo shut the fuck up" at them like the dude in the chappelle sketch yelling at john mayer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgIlTyCiVYQ

no one is beating David Guetta's I Have A Dream MEGAMIX but that F2020 is very bad indeed

Might as well put this song in here, which to be fair isn't so much terrible as it is kinda lazy and not really bringing anything new to the table:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46ISK1g54Fc

that song that everyone played at the end of bill and ted 3
