Kind of cheating to bring up Achy Breaky Heart, even if it were re-released after Billy Ray's daughter made people very briefly remember he existed.

DId you play the video? (Don't blame you if you didn't, just seeing the title). That's not the original--that's the "sequel" with special guest appearance by old man Billy, and if anything, revisiting a song that was complete and utter poo poo in 1992 and somehow making it worse for 2014 is part of why it deserves to be listed in the first place.

Huh. I didn't know they were Swedish.

I guess that adds one more turd into the poo poo punch bowl of that song. I never understood it, lyrically, but now I can at least maybe blame the awful lyrics on them not speaking English well. I think.

if we are talking about entire genres now, trap music is the worst thing the 2010s has brought us. i actually wanted to like it at first and figured once better rappers appeared i'd enjoy it, instead it is just infested with the most untalented mush-mouthed terrible lyricists i have ever heard. the music itself has also not evolved and i can hardly tell one trap song from the other.

i'll give it this though: it still is not as bad as post grunge. honestly if a genre does come out that manages to be worse than post grunge we should just make music illegal.

what good rock bands are there in the 2010s anyway? Queens of the Stone age and Radiohead are the only ones I can think of, and their best albums are pre-2010. Traditional rock is irrelevant

QotSA’s two albums in the 2010s were both fantastic. Radiohead has been godawful since In Rainbows.

There hasn't been a lot: a few good tracks here and there, but overall it's been pretty meh.

Makthaverskan's second album was really good ("Makthaverskan II": try the song "Antabus"), as was the Coathangers' "Nosebleed Weekend" (try "Watch Your Back" or "Make It Right"), but both bands might be a bit punky for people just looking for trad rock. Greta van Fleet has been getting a decent amount of buzz, but to me they're to Led Zeppelin what Airbourne was to AC/DC: a group that knows how to ape the form, but doesn't have the songwriting chops to match. King Gizzard can be good, but they're definitely quantity over quality (though "Gamma Knife" was a hell of a lot of fun: great riff, great bizarro video).

I liked the Holograms' second album a lot (Forever), and would recommend it if you like the post-punk side of things ("Blaze on the Hillside", or "Rush").

They also have that one where they mention “Achilles and his gold”. Literally the only time Achilles and gold come up together in the Illiad is when he turns down some gold. That one has bugged me every time I heard it.

that reminds me, our class song was going to be 'hey ya' (this was in 06) but then the admins realized it was an ironic song, the lyrics are pretty dark

they changed it to green days' 'good riddance' which just has an ironic title, which is apparently ok (its because the black kids picked hey ya and my school was racist as poo poo)

Geordie accent is all right.

Birmingham is bad but at least it even has a bit of character about it compared to he south East.

Mumble rap is bad. Worse is that loving talk-sing thing they do where it sounds like a poor version of Kesha.

As someone said earlier, music is going the way of Hollywood and pumping out poo poo for the foreign market, hence garbage lyrics. Meaning is irrelevant, as long as people can recognise enough words. There's even groups that are "aimed" at individual markers but they'll still put out bs lyrics in English. It's garbage.

I personally don't, because if you're going to use your lyrics to shitpost at people, you should at least make it listenable. Screaming over hosed up jungle sounds for the sake of "irony" is terrible. But :lol: at having to listen to that at a party.

Most of these bad songs posted are bad but none are even in the same universe of bad as the democrat Fight Song, with the possible exception of that Theory of a Dead Man piece of poo poo that is somehow like a worse Nickelback.

The one with the screaming cowboys is pretty awful as a song but the screaming cowboys bring it back around to hilarious.

the ed sheeran song with eminem where they talk about aborting a child

something just like this by the chainsmokers. it feels like they found that 'every song by the chainsmokers' video on youtube and leaned hard on it.
you may replace something just like this with honest
or any other chainsmokers song, really
this horrible weird version of zombie by the chainsmokers where the male singer replaces zombie with his name
all about that bass
look at what you made me do
work work work
fight song
anything by iggy azalea

it feels like the past two-three years have been really bad, kind of like the other poster said where we're seeing the most obviously marketed forms of pop music. come on, eminem doing songs with ed sheeran, beyonce and rihanna?

Country Grammar is a great song and a new classic and was a watershed album for southern rap so it’s definitely a Good Song but I think it’ll be hard to look back and think a lot of mumble rap is groundbreaking poo poo instead of just a race to the bottom

here's a luddite country song I heard at work today for anyone who still doubts that it is the worst genre:

quote:

Quarter in a payphone
Drying laundry on the line
Watching Sun Tea in the window
Pocket Watch tellin' time
Seems like only yesterday, I'd get a blank cassette
Record the country countdown, 'cause I couldn't buy it yet
If we drove
All the way to Dallas just to buy an Easter dress
We’d take along a Rand McNally,
Stand in line to pay for gas
God knows that shifting gears
Ain’t what it used to be
I learned to drive that 55
Just like a queen, three on a tree
Hey whatever happened to,
Waitin' your turn
Doing it all by hand,
'Cause when everything is handed to you
It's all only worth as much as the time you put in
In all just seems so good the way we had it
Back before everything became, automatic
If you had something to say
You'd write it on a piece of paper
Then you put a stamp on it
And they'd get it three days later
Boys would call the girls
And girls would turn them down
Staying married was on the way to work your problems out
Hey whatever happened to,
Waitin' your turn
Doing it all by hand,
'Cause when everything is handed to you
It's all only worth as much as the time you put in
It all just seems so good the way we had it
Back before everything became, automatic yeah
Automatic
Let's pull the windows down
Windows with the cranks
Come on let's take a picture
The kind you gotta shake
Hey whatever happened to,
Waitin' your turn
Doing it all by hand,
'Cause when everything is handed to you
It's all only worth
As much as the time you put in
It all just seems so good the way we had it
Back before everything became, automatic yeah
Automatic

the lyrics aren't just dumb, they're actively trying to make the listener dumber

I wasn't kidding when I said they're like facebook memes in song form
