rolling fuck this shit worst songs of 2015 thread

btw, i had my moments with "all about that bass" so i approached Title with an open mind and "dear future husband" was the track that closed the door hard

Lunch Money Lewis is dope i'm not into that song either but he's a super talented dude who's had a hand in a bunch of great records on the hip-hop side of things

"dear future husband" seems a pathetic misstep - what an unappealing persona to emphasize as she's building her identity. i guess it overlaps with the impish/"sassy" thing that people went for on her hit, but i feel like at least some portion of people that liked or shared that song did so because they felt like it stood for some kind of vaguely progressive, sisters-are-butting-it-for-themselves kinda idea if not a very nuanced or thought-out one. but this hands us a much much more conventional "am i right, girls?" spree of lame cliches that i imagine those same people won't actually relate to at all.

OTOH doubling down on a 'novelty' sound might be the right business decision since she doesn't seem to have much else to sustain a career on. the thing is i'd just rather hear dion and the belmonts than this insulting drivel. the carnival scene in the video made me hope we were headed in the direction of a "dead zone" plot but no such luck.

wow this is terrible

FIVE HOURS TO GO

maybe focus exclusively on her juvenalia? this wiki segment seems ripe for deep digging

1993–2008: Early life
Trainor was born on December 22, 1993, in Nantucket, Massachusetts. Her parents, Gary and Kellie Trainor, are the owners of jewelry store, Jewel of the Isle. Outside their business, Trainor's father taught music for eight years and being a musician all his life, plays organ in a Methodist church. Trainor's mother runs her Facebook page. She has an older brother, Ryan (born 1992), and a younger brother, Justin. Trainor began singing at the age of six, and writing songs at age 11. She told her father at this age that she had an "awesome voice and needed to record it". She played football between her third and fifth grade at school. Her first live performance was in 2004 at the wedding of her aunt and uncle, where she played the song "Heart and Soul" from the piano. At the age of 12, Trainor began performing professionally. She was in a band called Island Fusion, which comprised members of her family. They performed soca-inspired music at local bars and Nantucket watering holes. By age 13, Trainor penned her first song, "Give Me a Chance". Trainor's father coached her on playing the guitar. Her father insisted that she write for every genre, to which her mother said she "did a lot by ear". Trainor was raised in Nantucket until later in her eighth grade of high school before her family temporarily moved to Orleans, Massachusetts, and then re-located to North Eastham, Massachusetts where she attended Nauset Regional High School. She developed her musical talent playing alongside NRBQ members, Johnny and Joey Spampinato, and took guitar lessons from the former. She was a member of a jazz band for three years during high school and would develop music at a studio from home. During this time, Trainor obtained her nickname, Singer Girl.

like when did she stop going by "Singer Girl"? Does she regret quitting football? Have any of the Island Fusion songs made their way into her current repertoire? What was band camp like? What's her favorite cut of diamond? Does she ever feel like mom oversteps her boundaries on the Facebook? What are NRBQ really like? i tell you this thing writes itself

what the hell is the point of making music which sounds like a bad and toothless version of older music with even more regressive lyrics. why. why

idk walking home tonight I heard a soft jazz cover of Under the Bridge oozing out of some bar and I just feel all this music-related ennui right now and I probably shouldn't have clicked that Meghan Trainer video

a soft jazz cover of Under the Bridge

would you say that you don't ever want to feel like you did this day

sorry

I have a friend-of-friends named Meaghan Trainor who seems to be amused by all this.

wow thats like some 2010s version of michael bolton from office space

Ellie Goulding - love me like you do. What the fuck, laziest song ever.

Clean Bandit - extraordinary. The fuck, the melody belongs in the 90s dance pop discount bin.

lunchmoney lewis still doesn't have a wikipedia page

Trainor's mother runs her Facebook page.
and from the looks of it probably also wrote that entire paragraph.

i wish she had brought her mom up on stage to fact-check the claim in 'bass'

then again that would have made the song longer, soooo

Buy me a ring
Buy-buy me a ring, (babe)

a new person has started at work and its his turn for the music and I cant take it. I could just google the lyrics of every song and put it here

first up today

Tove Lo Timebomb

just catching up on the last page of this thread, Roslyn Moore destroys Nickelback Trainor & Lewis -- I do wanna hear that soft jazz "Under the Bridge" tho

in the spirit of making this thread meaner again: there's this local bar band* & it seems like every time I leave work on a friday or a saturday night they're across the street covering "Get Lucky" before a packed house of totally unself-consciously feeling-it drunk people, & that is the worst new music of 2014/15 for me

*who I have nothing against in theory. I gotta say that because my friends like em*

round 2, trying to sit thru more than the first minute of "Bills" -- okay I just made it to the part where Lunchmoney Lewis says "Goddamn goddamn goddamn / Aw man, aw man, aw man", now that the song is sabotaging its chances for radio airplay I find it charming

I realize this is off most people's radar -- lucky you! -- but there is somebody called Neves who does obnoxious dubsteppy stuff themed around Five Nights at Freddy's. Which happens to hit a sweet spot for, say, 10-year-old EDM fans who love Five Nights at Freddy's and tend to commandeer my car stereo.

Actual conversation in my car yesterday:

10-yr-old (to 6-yr-old): Do you like the "Small World" remix by Neves?
6-yr-old: Well ... I haven't heard the other one. I mean, the one that's not a remix.
10-yr-old: Neves is really good. (to me) Do you think Neves is really good?
Me: Hmm.

lol, parenting

that sounds terrible btw; here's another sampler

also, boo: i like tove lo's timebombs

Ive googled the lyrics to some of these, they mostly seem to be by Calvin Harris.

Today has been reminiscent of the day I listened to the end of year poll music but there is no break inbetween the garbage. I cant cope

nearly 7 hours of this stuff now

Where do you work where you have to listen to music all day?

I worked in a bookshop once and around Christmas boss decided the same damn CD was to play all day every day. On every morning, activate repeat function. I ended up forming a plot with a co-worker and hiding it.

I work in a company of 5 people. Its democratic about the music but the fifth and newest person got today and yesterday and put the same spotify playlist on both days, so I also knew the horrors that were to come, it was far from genial.

Harsh and shrill sounds are a problem for me in general, but when trying to think its almost impossible, very difficult day

She developed her musical talent playing alongside NRBQ members, Johnny and Joey Spampinato

Huh, maybe one of the reasons I don't find her completely irredeemable.

a bad and toothless version of older music with even more regressive lyrics

Hot funk, cool punk, even if it's old junk It's still rock and roll to me.

that sucks saer hope they get more considerate or take a hint or lose their spotify password

I think hes just a little bit oblivious, 2nd week in a new job and putting skrillrex and Katy Perry on just feels like a misjudgement. It's not really music conducive to developing or thinking.

but it lasted all day without complaint so maybe I'm just over sensitive!

And something I assume to be Muse, and some things which almost seemed like a parody of the pc music that was in the ilx end of year chart. And I googled the lyrics for another and it was something called Bastille

omg pray 4 saer

I was delayed in and he has the stereo on again. Im trying to code while David Guetta is blaring. I have another 7 hours of this ahead of me

Im not sure but I think it might be the same playlist again

This one is apt - the lyrics..."i dont know how much i more i can take".

google says its Clean Bandit

I should stayed in the woods

we should have a representative guetta song in here for sure; "what i did for love" is the big 2015 release and it's not especially egregious but certainly suffers from the standard lack of creativity

the clean bandit track is extraordinary

He has a new playlist, ive googled the lyrics. its something called Imagine Dragons

back to the original playlist now. yellowcard, david guetta and katy perry. Work is starting to feel like spring break in cancun. I long to retreat to the copse

you are not the sugababes, you aren't even the sugababes minus all three sugababes

This is a quick, quarterly reminder that all available tracks mentioned on this thread are being posted as updated to a thread-specific Spotify playlist that I'm maintaining. I just did a quick sweep prior to posting this message and updated as of today with everything that's been added on Spotify since it was first mentioned... smooth jazz version of "Under the Bridge" included!

That playlist is currently a bit more than an hour of music most foul and is clickable below. Give it a spin and subscribe if you want to listen along through the year.
