We all have songs we love. And then there are the songs that are alright, we'll listen to them. Then songs we don't care either way about, and then songs we don't like. And then, there are those songs. The songs that cross the line from dislike to actual hatred. The songs that, in some, actually create feelings of violence, because you just hate them so much. Maybe they were played on the radio too much, maybe there's a bad memory associated with them, maybe you hate the lyrics, maybe there is no specific reason, you just loathe it.
What songs to do you totally hate?
For me, the first ones that come to mind are Big Girls Don't Cry by Fergie and Girlfriend by Avril Lavigne. The Fergie song wasn't too bad when I first heard it, I didn't really care about it either way. But then the radio station I listened to played it about every other song for months, and it seemed like most of the annoying people I knew thought it was the best song ever, so I came to associate it with the idiots and my school. Girlfriend just makes me mad in general, I hate the lyrics and, like the other song, all the people I don't like seem to love it.
[noguests]Your post made me lol xD. Well for me most overplayed radio songs I like, but there's one in particular they just would play over and over again. Old School by Hedley. I mean usually overplayed songs stop being overplayed after some time, but this one OMG has just been played SO many times since it came out, its not even funny. I think it has to do with the fact that I live in Canada and Hedley is Canadian. Okay I admit after listening to it so many times I've grown on it sorta and it reminds me of last summer which was a really good one for me, but still. Its annoying.[/noguests]
ok so for me I just HATE S.O.S. by the Jonas Brothers... well... I don't really hate it I just hate all songs by the Jonas Brothers... well... actually... I just hate the Jonas Brothers.
I also just despise The Sweet Escape by Gwen Stefani. I don't really know why I hate this song I just do. Maybe It's because one of my dance teachers played it every day for worm ups the WHOLE year ( and trust me... worm ups are not fun at my dance school.) 8D
some heavy metal songs are horrible and make me feel annoyed
Well uhh, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-0tfHMDsbY just makes me want to throw up at this point, it was overplayed in the radio the whole summer last year X___X A-and maybe some songs in Eurovision annoy me, but I forgeeet which. Jan-Jan is annoying but that one gets stuck in my head if you name it {Oh haha guess what just happened}, but it's so annoyiiiing.
It's not specific songs, but I don't like Emo-songs and other 'Boohoo, I'm so sad, my life is so empty and I don't have anything..... except for millions of dollars, multiple houses and people who adore me.' type of songs. (Lookin' at you, Miley)
Linkin Park might get a pass since I feel they were there for me in a difficult time. That, and they actually got a good style goin' on.
Yeah, I don't really like their newer stuff, but I still listen to old Linkin Park songs XD I just like how they sound, even if they are kind of emo.
Song I just remembered that I hate: Mariah Carey - We Belong Together
Ohhh that reminds me: No one - Mariah Carey
It's soo annoying. "No one, no oneee, nooo oneeeee" X__X
Actually...nearly anything of Mariah Carey's annoys me, except for her really older stuff. .___.;
Hmm...Stab something you say?
Dunno...I don't really have a hated song... xD I've never thought of that...
Generic cookie cutter pop. Specifically Hannah Montana/ Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers.
I'm also annoyed when groups don't write there own music. I can see doing a cover or two, but I don't get the point of paying someone to write your songs for you.
[noguests]
Ohhh scr*w meeee.
It *was* Alicia Keys XD
The Jonas Brother's version of Year 300 annoys me. And the music video as well, for innaccuracy in terms of lyrics.
Generally anything by the Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez and Demi Lavoto irk me. Miley and Selena butcher old school Disney songs, which really really irks me. Demi can't sing, and the Jonas Brothers are too cookie cutter for my taste.
The Jonas Brothers did a cover of Poor Unfortunate Souls. There is a music video. I may have flown into a violent rage after seeing/hearing it, I'm not too sure, I tried to block most of the experience out.
*Facepalm* Oh yes. That. I've heard it several times. The worst one is Miley Cyrus: Part of Your World.
ditto what winx said i really think that Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez and Demi Lavoto cant sing at all
I took the Jonas Brothers one personally because Poor Unfortunate Souls is pretty much my all-time favorite Disney song.
I agree that they shouldn't do covers of old Disney songs, when the originals already own them, and I personally don't really like Miley Cyrus (as a person, mostly; a few of her songs are okay, but I really dislike her as a person). I'm kind of a fan of Selena and Demi; I like them, but I'm pretty indifferent, I guess... However, as a *huge* Jonas Brothers fan, I think it's best I stop this mini-rant right now, before someone wants to hit me. xD
Yeah, just to make things clear, I don't think anybody means that they dislike the people who like these songs/music, just the songs/music itself.
And most of the Disney covers don't even make since, since the song is part of a storyline and outside of the movie it's just kind of random, especially songs like Poor Unfortunate Souls.
I know you guys don't mean any offence at the people who may like the artists you dislike, I just thought it would be better to not go into fan-girl mode, since I know most of you don't like the Jonas Brothers. But that's your opinion, and I respect that. ^^
I hate Rap songs, they make no sense whatsoever and I have no idea what they're even talking about. I'm just a sophisticated young woman who takes things seriously, so please don't lash me out. I don't intend to start a conflict with anyone.
I just heard this one again today: Right Round. To be honest, I do not care who it is by, all I know is that I think it's terrible and every time I hear it I burst into a rant about how terribly raunchy it is (as most rap songs are). I mean, they took an old song, (by Dead or Alive in, what, the 80s?), and created an overly-raunchy modern one (the original was PERFECTLY FINE!). The first time I heard it (the new version), all I was thinking was: Oh no they didn't! They did NOT just take another perfectly good song and ruin it. (Rap+Good Song Originally= Bad song in most cases, in my opinion)
In fact, a DJ today played that song... I went up and demanded that he play the original; You Spin Me (Like A Record)... and he did. Muwaha! I felt quite accomplished.
That and "You Belong With Me" by Taylor Swift. No offense to her massive amount of fans, but I do not like her music (I don't like country anyway, and her live performance on a New Years Eve special scored her some really low points in my book.) That specific song, though, reminds me of "Girl Next Door" by Saving Jane.... The lyrics are just too similar. It annoys me, really.
And finally, on my list; any song by Miley Cyrus. Again, no offense to her fans, but I just do not like her. Although, I do like that she enjoys Coldplay... (because Coldplay is amazing.) Actually, anything by a modern Disney-owned group or individual is "not good music" in my book, (Demi... Not going to attempt to spell her last name, Jonas Brothers, etc.)
I mean absolutely no offense to anyone with any of this. It's simply my musical taste.... I do suppose that I'm not "hip" and with the "in" crowd. xD
Aw, I love Taylor Swift. And Saving Jane too...ooh, I can't pick a fave. I'd probably go with...oh, gosh...I can't choose.
XD I thought this was a topic that you state songs you loathe. Not songs you adore. lol
Katy Perry - Waking Up In Vegas
Ever since Hot and Cold Katy Perry's songs have annoyed me :/ I dunno why. I just hate them.
Aw, I love Waking Up In Vegas. And T Swift too, for that matter... But I agree on the SRSLY-disliking-rap thing.
diddo on that. Whats with that messed up rap? ugh
Noo! Right Round is amazing! It owns the original (Zing forced me to listen to like more than 5 previous versions including the original, and the modern one is WAY better IMO). Well I agree rap aint that great, like I wouldnt listen to a pure rap song, but the ones I listen to have an awesome chorus which is why I listen to them (a perfect example is Sugar by Flo Rida ft. Wynter). Thats where Right Round stands for me, I dont care for the rapping inbetween, but the chorus is simply amazing. Though there are some rap parts I really like too, like Missy Elliot's in Bad Girl by Danity Kane.
ooh this just gave me a great opportunity to be immature! thanks humbu XD!
Don't say aint, your mother will faint, your father will fall in a bucket of paint, your sister will cry, your brother will die, and the cat and the dog will say bye-bye! lol I'm just sooo mature
Ha ha, actually, the chorus of Right Round is what bugs me the most: it's terribly raunchy... just... well, the lyrics are just gross in my opinion. I have no idea what is being said when he's rapping between each chorus, so I can't really say that I dislike that part if I do not understand a word of it. lol
That's just my opinion, though. Overly-raunchy lyrics tend to annoy me to no end, so...
@ StellaRocks: Aww. *sniff* No Coldplay?
Lol; I do think that their Viva La Vida is being overplayed, though. I personally love the song, but I can see where it would get old. :/ That is the only Coldplay song they play on the radio anymore.
I'm with Jahnavi on Waking Up in Vegas... I enjoy it, too. ^_^ Although, it reminds me of Florida (of all places.) Long story short, when in Florida, I saw that music video on VH1... every single morning. That and it was constantly on the radio.
Sorry no Coldplay I CAN'T stand Viva La Vida or any of their other songs(sorry Boo)
'sweet about me' by...argh forgot her name
but it makes me want to rip my hair out
I love Viva La Vida. (...But it's the only Coldplay song I really know well, so I probably shouldn't comment further, lol...)
Wham - Wake Me Up Before You Go Go
I don't know what it is about this song, but I just hate it .____. It makes it hard because my mom loves it and listens to it a lot.
this is random, but I just want to get it off my chest. I absolutely posatutly HATE, LOATHE, DESPISE ect. any family channel type people and there songs. like the joe bros, Demi, Saleina, Justin Bieber, Miley and so on.
Justin Bieber makes me lol so hard you don't even know. I can't hate him, he's too hilarious.
But I do hate that song The Christmas Shoes or whatever it's called. I don't even remember who sings it. It just tries way to hard to be touching or whatever and comes off as annoying :/ Or maybe I'm just a terrible person with a cold, dead husk of a heart. Either way.
Not to mention totally missing the point of the song. It's basically someone goading someone else into a devil's deal, no matter how you slice it.
eeep Fergie i hate her with a passion, when i went to see the police in '06 she was there.. it was a terrible performance and the wrong type of audience too.
she cant sing live!!!! TT_TT
and god these bands are horrid too:
fall out boy, Aqua, Kings of Leon, ting tings ect TT_TT and miley cyrus, jonas brothers all that disney stuff.
Can I nominate Kate Perry's 'I kissed a girl'? Not only is the melody annoying, the 'Girls kissing other girls is just a fase, you guys! It's sexy, but wrong in the long run!' message is downright offensive, especially since she used it to come over as 'Naughty'. (When growing up, my mother had two female friends who were in love. So I might take this to personally.)
I'm now agreeing with the people who voted for "You Belong With Me" by Taylor Swift. They play it WAY TO MUCH and it annoys me now.
My newest annoyance: Fireflies by Owl City. I actually really liked this song when I first heard it, until, yet again, it was played to death on the radio. It didn't help that basically everybody I know used the chorus as their facebook status at least twice.
Omg AM. I feel the same way about Fireflies. I've never liked the song and...ugh.
I also hate all that is Justin Bieber. He's not ever good, and was discovered on Youtube. That's um...wow.
lol jaaaahhhnnn!!! *heh*
has anyonne heard that 'bullet proof' song? its played over- and over and over over over and ovvvveerrr again on australian radios!! CURSE YOU NOVA!!!XD
Anything like new Disney bubblegum pop = no. IE Demi Lovato, ((She can't sing and always looks like she's wearing a wig.)), Miley Cyrus ((she's a self absorbed stupid hick and we all know it, okay? XD)) Jonas Brothers ((Ew. Just, no.)) and Selena Gomez. Coheed and Cambria ((They're great until they sing. Horrible, horrible, horrible.)), Kings of Leon, The Bravery ((They're really brave for going up on stage sounding like that. Holy crap. My ears began to bleed. x.X)), anything even remotely country except Taylor Swift and Rascal Flatts ((I started liking Taylor's "Love Story" after the whole Kanye thing and I like Rascal Flatts's "What Hurts the Most" That's it.)) Umm, I loathe anything chipmunk'd, its pathetic. Yeah, a lot of Christmas songs piss me off too. ((I'm looking at you, Copacabana Christmas, the Christmas Shoes, Where are you Christmas and anything Burl Ives.))
Fireflies? Oh Gosh, everybody is obessed with that song lately. *Hids head on desk* Every corner I turn, I heard it. I swear it's haunting me.
I swear my brain nearly exploded with I heard, 'I don't even now your name' T_T Shut-up! Shut-up!
Taylor Swift has a new song out, something about 15. And they've already overplayed it D: I didn't even like it the first time!
Fifteen isn't new at all. It came out in 2008. They've just been overplaying it. Over, and over and over....
Yup, it came out last year, with her album, Fearless. It randomly became huge this year...
Ah. Well my station just started playing it. And dear god, do they play it.
Haha I'm noticing that Kings of Leon and the Bravery have come up xD
I love those bands. I feel they are the last breath of rock and roll that's mainstream anyway. Same with Bruce Springsteen.
Hmmm....pretty much most of the mainstream stuff makes my ears bleed. I hate all Disney Channel/Radio Disney stars. I hate Taylor Swift, I honestly don't think she is talented. Umm....I don't know I just don't like most modern music xD
Uhm, okay, this is very personal, but I feel like sharing, since I just figured out just WHY.....
There's this R&B song called 'How Come, How Long'. The song itself is so-so.... but the lyrics (And accompanying video-clip) are about an abusive relationship and ends up with a desperation kill..... let's just say this song came out at an inopportunite time in my life and leave it at that. This is my personal song that makes me want to stab something or throw the radio across the room. It always was, but now it starts to dawn to me just why. Thanks for reminding me of that time, stupid song.
I hate Justin Beiber! He makes me want to hurl.
He's been a trending topic on twitter for over like 2 months now. It's annoying and every second you see his name. Argh
Uuurgh, just listened trough the whole of Beyoncé's 'If I were a boy', suddenly remembering why I never did. I hate demonisation. Be it individuals, races, or in this case, gender. Girls can be just as cruel, Beyoncé, get that in your head. You're not empowering by talking men down, you're prejudiced.
Any Justin Bieber songs, most Taylor Swift songs, and most Katy Perry songs. I absolutely despise "Tik Tok" by Ke$ha. I don't mind her other songs that much, but her live voice makes me want to stick my head into sand like an ostrich, so I won't have to hear it, so I can never call myself a fan. I don't really like Kings of Leon's "Use Somebody"... hmmm I think that's it...
Speaking off Taylor Swift....
Don't know the title, but she goes all 'You were Romeo, I was the Scarlett Letter' and such things.
Dear Taylor Swift (And anyone else who uses Romeo and Juliet as the ultimate in Romance)
Romeo and Juliet both DIED due to their incompetence in love. It's about two impulsive teenagers who throw away everything to be with someone they've barely known. Get it in your head.
....Just The Way You Are by Bruno Mars. Call me cynical, because I am, but in the video he sings that to a pretty girl and the cynic in me doubts he'd be singing it to an unattractive girl. Beauty may be the eye of the beholder, but more often than not, said eyes see things similarly. Plus, it's overplayed and I'm sick of people being all I WANT MY CRUSH TO SING THIS TO ME BUT HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW I EXIST WAHHH.
Not to mention it's shallow. Her hair, her eyes, her lips.... but how 'bout her personality, huh?
Thank you. So she's not a nice person? I mean, I get the point is that whoever this girl is she's meant to be beautiful but not think so, but the song never mentions that she's a good person AND is seen as beautiful.
All I ever come to know about her is her insecurity..... not the best sign.
Another recent one: The Black Eyed Peas and their butchering remix of the song 'I've had the time of my life.'
TO each his own.
Also, it's not about the ending: what bugs me about all this is that Romeo and Juliet is satire. I just think it's silly people see it as a romance for the ages. If so, does Airplane! count?
Indeed, indeed, to each his own.
But on Whip My Hair, Ellie, don't feel too bad. You're not hating, hating would be saying things like OMG WILLOW IS SOOOO UGLY AND FAT etc. Basically making unfounded nasty claims against her. Which is particularly bad because she's ten. However, you're basically just expressing your dislike of the song, which is perfectly alright. If anyone, even a ten year old, expects to release work to the public, they have to understand the fact people won't like it.
Yes. That song. It makes me want to lock myself in a closest and never come out. Ever. Holy. Cow.
You know what's awful too?
Remixes of songs... that totally miss the friggin' point of the original.
The first one coming to mind is the previously mentioned 'Poor unfortunate souls' by the Jonas Brothers.
Another one was an awful dance mix of 'Another day in Paradise' showing people lounging at the beach in their clip. Urgh. Say about the Brandy one what you want, at least she realised the meaning and tried to honor it.
In addition to awful Jonas Brothers covers, their cover of Hello Goodbye quite literally made me turn into a spluttering, angry Beatles-fan. While y love for The Beatles would have something to do with my hate of it, it's still just an awful song and it makes me want to throw a brick through a window. It's...not good. ANd then, the whole Jonas Brother's fangirls being all 'The jobros are soooooo much bettter than the beatles. lol lmao. the beatles are badd'. [/rant]
Beatles.... bad?! *Twitch*
The Beatles are amongst Jimi Hendrix, Johnny Cash and Mozart; even if you don't like 'em, you DON'T say they're bad!
Worse still, their reasoning is usually that the Jonas Brother's are hot and the Beatles are old.
...Pfft. The Beatles shaped rock music.
I sometimes fear for the next generation (I'm 24, I shouldn't have to say that!).
HISTORY, DO YOU SPEAK IT?!
That's my biggest complaint. It's not that they don't like the Beatles, I mean, I'm not too big of a fan, but indeed missing the fact that Bands like that shaped music as we know it. Give them the respect they deserve.
Yeah, I mean, even if you're not a fan, you can't deny the impact they made or what they did.
*Cough*
Let's not debase rap in it's entirety, please. There are some pretty awesome rap songs:
Umm... I didn't dismiss all of it. I stated that the majority of rap songs (particularly hugely popular ones) are guilty of the aforementioned; not all of them. :/ (Last line of my post) I understand, though. I find that it is very easy to misinterpret messages online. Perhaps I should have emphasized that point (about the majority) a bit more.
I myself have developed a fondness for a couple of rap songs (one being by the Gorillaz, actually).
Sorry, sorry....
But I feel like rap is getting the whipping dog of the internet, something it doesn't deserve. (Like those '93% of the people have switched over to rap, if you're one of the 7% who still have taste in music, copy this' messages. Geez, guys. A bit much, don't you think?)
Thanks. I don't mind complaining about Rap and (most of) it's general problems. However, it's kind of 'In' to moan about, and it's getting a bad rep. (Heh, Pun.)
But then again, I grew up with Dutch rap, which I think is, if you excuse my bias, much MUCH better then most countries' rap. But then again, rapping is about venting about problems, and I can relate more to Dutch problems.
I agree that it is not right to complain about something (ie., a music genre) unless you have heard/researched it extensively (I myself wouldn't have said anything about rap had I not been exposed to it frequently), but, at the same time, there are exceptions (ie., some things that can jump out as problematic right from the start without thorough listening of the genre).
For example, it is very clear that the degradation of women and excessive cursing are two common themes in most popular rap songs (at least in the U.S.), and that simple fact deems it worthy of at least some criticism. It doesn't mean that the criticism was made to be "in" or what have you, but because, quite frankly, some songs within the genre simply deserve a critical eye. For example, I posted what I did because of my discontent with the degradation and the way some people passively accept these said songs (at least, where I live) simply because they are "popular." They do not take the time to dissect the lyrics and realize how so very cruel some of them are. As the thread's title suggests, such songs make me angry, and so, I posted that they did so. I would post examples, but am not going to for the sake of avoiding explicit content. They're not hard to find - any number of them can be found on top 10 lists anywhere.
I'm not saying this is true everywhere, of course, and also not saying that the whole genre deserves criticism - I'm also not saying that only the rap genre produces such songs (as it can be found in nearly every genre, from rock to pop - it just seems, with popular songs, it is frequently blatant within the rap genre nowadays, at least here in the U.S.). For example, I know that in my favorite genre, alternative rock, there are plenty of songs that have cruel and degrading lyrics - and I am discontent with them, too.
Meh. :/
I'm sorry. I never meant to make you feel uncomfortable or 'Wrong' (Wrong in an opinion? Stupid.) I just get really defensive about my own preferences sometimes.
Oh, it's quite alright. Don't feel bad about it. In fact, I'm precisely the same way (which probably has been made quite clear.)
I'm not sure if i am on topic or not but Friday by Rebecca Black really makes me angry, not because I think it' a bad song, but because at my school every Friday, someone has to bring up Rebecca Black.
A genre hated here in Hamilton is Country, which is my favourite genre. I love listening to Taylor Swift, Rascal Flatts and The Band Perry etc. but everyone keeps bothering me about it and everyone is always like "Eww, I hate country"
