Most hated song in the past 5 years.

Every song played at my gym.

How the fuck am I supposed to get my pump on to this horseshit?

I could probably think of a few but I have no idea what the artists or song titles are. That 'We Are Young' song is a good pick though.
 
its such a shame I've got a feeling misses the cut as it was 2009 iirc.

genuinely think thats the worst most annoying pop song i've ever heard.

on topic, it's stay with me.
 
Do most people who hate a particular song hate it because it is just horribly bad or because it has been played so many times on the radio every hour that people are just sick of it ?

Hilarious. Disgusting. Horrible.
 
This thread is like a playlist of the songs at work. Some stand up to that incessant repeating (Counting Stars, Happy, Heartbeat Song, Let Her Go)... but a lot of it does not.

My nomination is Rude. Whine, whine, whiiiiiiiiiiiine. Marry the girl and shut up pls.
 
Nah man, stuff like this is why the Eurovision exists. The time of ABBA is past, Eurovision is never ever going to deliver quality music, so the only redeeming factor are the weirdo acts that somehow get through the pre-selection (and in the case of Lordi even fucking won the contest).

I mean, would you rather have boring stuff like this or amazingly shitty, but really entertaining songs about the short noses of hares?
 
Meghan Trainor (any song of hers) is the most recent popular steaming musical dump that I can think of. I have a pretty short memory for these things so I'm going to go with that.
 
Meghan Traynor is a hot babe. That is reason enough for me to excuse that bass song. Unlike the "Why you gotta be so rude" song or the Train song or Maroon 5 or countless others that trigger no mental image of sexy times whatsoever.

And Happy is overplayed but a modern classic. People in Afghanistan got arrested simply for dancing in the streets to this song so I will always think of it as a song that brought smiles to a terrible terrible shitty place.

Lots of songs in this thread that don't deserve it. I don't get the Macklemore hate. Thrift shop is a fun little jam with a refreshing message in an age of fucking tiiiiiiiired raps about clubs and "all eyes on me" kind of bullshit. It's fun. Remember when rap was fun? It might still be in the off-radio scene but mainstream rap fucking suuuucks now. So boastful and demanding of unearned respect.

I'll also take a moment and up vote all nominations for that shitty "Cruise" song with the auto-tuned country twang. Awful awful awful hillbilly shit for urban douchebags in lifted trucks with Monster stickers.
 
That song by the oldman band trying to be young, Train.

Fuck that song w/e it was called. Finally got it out of my head after all these years. Never going to look it up.
 
PopGAF is ridiculous. I think many of you are confusing a catchy pop song from an artist you dislike for a legitimately bad song. People are calling out Happy and Shake it off? Wat.
 
Happy by Pharrell Williams. Didn't care much for it when I first heard it and it only got worse as I started hearing it absolutely everywhere.
 

What makes this a great choice is the guy is a TERRIBLE singer too and a complete and total studio production fraud. Go listen to their iTunes sessions recording. Dude misses virtually every note.

That All About that Bass song is terribad too. "I'm supposedly an artist admitting that I like my music to sound as horrible as possible" the song.

(it's the first time I've heard about this song)
You guys are getting the views mixed up with listens.

Young folks aren't WATCHING the video that many times. They're listening to it in the background of whatever else their doing on their computer.
 
This is one of those rare Neogaf threads that asks for random negative opinions and yet you end up agreeing with 80%+ of it.

But for me, Katie Perry's Eye of the Tiger is the worst by far.
 
People hate music that is overplayed, that's for sure.

I guess you can't hate a song if you don't hear it.

I'm going to go ahead and agree with Moves Like Jagger. Maroon 5 was always trite, but that song is some kind of apogee for them.

People need to realize though that some of these songs get played so much because they're classics.

You don't know shit if you're saying that about Ruess. His live performances are incredible, and he has a better voice than 90% male pop singers nowadays. I'm on mobile so i won't bother but his performance with Pink, live, is even better than the studio recorded version.

OT, just remembered that bullshit of party rock anthem, sexy and i know it, and whatever comes from LMFAO. The worst.
