Rolling Worst Music of 2016 - Making That Meghan Trainor Money

are these the same guys who did that video that appeared on a Rolling Worst Music thread like three years ago where the guy shaves his head and puts on a balaclava? I didn't realise that they actually had a career

Those guys are really popular with the Warped Tour/Alternative Press crowd. (I don't hate that song.)

i hate how he says Goo Dole Days

i guess that's the least horrible twenty one pilots song i've ever heard

it is an awful song, hopefully i will never hear another one of theirs if it is supposedly one of their better ones

flo rida has another stinker that could challenge for #1 in coming weeks

i hate how he says Goo Dole Days

for a while I thought it was good dope days, like some kind of heavy drug song.

Goo Doll Days

Easy Target:

I made it all the way to "Goo Dole Days" (even through that handshake) and turned it off.

wait did you cut it off right at goo dole days and miss the part about his momma singing him to sleep?

twenty one pilots are awful

"tear in my heart" was nice, i'm open to the possibility that they'd be a decent band if that dude never rapped

Oh God, Kula Shaker came back

heard that Goo Dole Days song at the bar a couple days ago and everyone was singing along.

I suppose it was inevitable that the "sharing economy" propagandic bullshit would make its way, however loosely, into song concepts. can't find a real job, ladies? don't worry, you can spend your time cheerily sexting your boyfriend, who has retconned "Bo$$"

meghan trainor wanted to make her own meghan trainor money

you know, the beat on this is fine! but the fact that it has to be sung by a woman who's aping sorority girls on youtube in order to get any pop heat is really disquieting

a white woman

obv

she truly is the whitest

every time i see her name i laugh at the music industry

from 2015 technically but getting the sort of hype that only comes of depressing mining of unmined territory

danish media up it's own ass wrt lukas graham's inexplicable success in the US adds harm to injury, the worst music is sometimes the worst music that's really really popular

The Lukas Graham song isn't so much awful as completely forgettable - it's scrubbed itself from my brain since last night and I have no need to ever hear it again.

The Madeintyo track makes me go "is this as terrible as I think, or am I just aging and out of touch?" I mean, I'm sure what I consider gold standard hip-hop - Nas, Rakim, Kool Keith, etc. - sounds like grandpa music to today's teens...

Madeintyo track sounds like the second-tier third-wave ska-punk of rap, but I bet he can ride out that skoo skoo thing for a couple more songs.

I almost posted that exact Simpsons clip!!!!

I recently encountered a M&M's commercial with this monstrosity:

Little Big = Russia's answer to Die Antwoord, I guess?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i63cgUeSsY0

dreadful, some ok visual gags but so unfunny... also sounds terrible

so yeah, good contender (couldn't sit through all 2:55)

amusing that she has such a damaged public image that it's gotten smarter for her to ventriloquize through a bunch of better dancers (who are totally coincidentally PoC i'm sure) and not show up in her own video. call it the "sorry" maneuver.

I like john crowley too much to ever listen to that little big song lest it spoil things

lol, that's true ulysses

(Dance Video)

Has "I Took a Pill in Ibiza" made this thread yet?

I believe it was on last year's thread

t'was.

:(

lyrics & the fact that it's meghan trainor aside, this isn't that bad

i mean yeah it's more that she's essentially acting as a jargon-spewing colonizer in a time when women who came up in r&b can't even get traction in their own format, let alone pop

The horn bit isn't offensive. The rest, though...

So... Lukas and the Grahams are stars now? Should we be proud of them? I've always thought of them as "dweebs" rather than "rotters", but it's quite an odd success story. UK number 1, U.S. #3 but U.S. sales #1... That disparity is easily explained, as "7 Years" has the kind of wise wise message that demands to be downloaded or vinyled. AND it's got an original sound not heard since Daniel Powter's "Bad Day". (Not sure where they ripped off the piano line from... Something wise anyway.)

"Work from Home" is appalling shite, and therefore very thread-appropriate. That cheery denialism that Katherine talks about is pretty depressing, at least when heard in isolation. Apparently Fifth Harmony were a lot more conscious of gender relations (or less naive) on their previous album?

Iggy Azalea's "Team" - well, it's encouraging that there was clearly no ghostwriter involved, but printing all the lyrics in the video not a good idea on this song. The backing track and the dancing are great – maybe the vid should've just been those. The rest isn't even as good as the Funny Girls comedy rapping that Iggy both inspired and tried to emulate.

It was posted a while ago, but Say Anything seems like a very interesting artist. He raises big questions, like "How can the guy stand to listen to his own voice, let alone record an entire album?" A fine achievement. Further research could be carried out, but it's not advisable for anybody.

The Uber song, uh, let's just say I don't get any of it, including the title. Is it worth explaining?

Really can't be bothered worrying about yet another pathetic "Large Penis" song. It's even listed as a genre on Apple Music nowadays.

wasn't there another russian song bragging about big dick a few years ago? google is unsurprisingly turning up other things so i'll probably never find it again. i don't remember it being as bad as the one upthread.

just putting this here

infuriating from the very first syllable

For some reason on second listen the song doesn't seem that bad?

gotta set the score right / callin' Hans Zimmer

lol

This came "recommended" by Oshun, who have either lost their minds or had their Soundcloud page hijacked to cross-promote, er,

"HighClass Bling" by Infinitee (Co-Prod. by Proda, well done Proda)
