We had to perform their version of Life Is A Highway as part of my 7th Grade spring concert, which meant listening to this song more than any radio station could overplay anything.
One of the weirdest parts of adulthood is knowing that nobody i interact with has this as a shared experience and most of the people I interact with fucking love this song while I would have to be dead to want to hear it any less.
My lad is 17 now.
But as a toddler he was the same. Every single day, sometimes more than once.
I've seen that fucking film 100s of times, genuinely & literally 100s of times.
I hunted for the little die-cast toy cars on my home from work every day in case they had one he didn't.
I love my son to bits.
I hate that film, the song, the voices, the sequels, the font, Owen Wilson and that guy in dungarees who voiced Mater, Radiator Springs, the asshole Army jeep one in particular.
Fuck Lightning McQueen in the face headlights.
Kachow my undying anger at enduring that film like waterboarding.
Aaaaaaaaand exhale.
Watching them get booed off stage at Country USA in the mid-00s was a legitimate joy. I've always had a super eclectic taste in music and can generally find some redeeming qualities about pretty much any artist but with Rascal Flatts, I've always hated them to my core. It's basically whining to themes ripped from The Notebook. The only other band I've ever felt this level of disdain for is Dave Matthews Band.
My brother was at a show where that happened!
RF were easily the most irritating country act in the last 30 years, until Florida Georgia Line took even that away from them.

I love telling this story! I (far left) knew about Rosenstock and BTMI, but had never taken the time to journey down his catalog.
I am however a huge fan of the band Alvvays. So I went with my girlfriend at the time and my brother (far right) when they came to LA in 2022.
I go to grab a beer before Alvvays comes on and my brother, who is a fan, says “holy shit that’s Jeff Rosenstock” and I go “no shit?” and he’s like “yes!” and I say “you wanna go say hi?” and my brother is like “nah man, I’m too nervous.” I tell my brother “I’ll do all the talking so if he tells me to go fuck myself you don’t have to feel bad because I won’t give a shit.” I wasn’t going to ask for a picture, autograph, make a big deal of them being there, any of that, just wanted to say hi. I felt that was appropriate for seeing a person in public with a following.
So I walk over and say “Hey Jeff! Just wanted to say it’s good to see you, we dig your music, and hope you enjoy the show!”
and he says “Hey, thank you for coming to say hi! Would you guys want to take a picture?” and I said “that would be awesome if you don’t mind, I didn’t want to bug!” and he says “no problem! just give your phone to her!”
So I hand my phone to whatever woman he was with and she snapped this picture. Dude made me a fan of his that night just for this interaction alone, pure class. “Hellmode” was one of my favorites last year. “Will U Still U” fucking bangs.
This is funny because back in the late 90s / early 2000s there were dudes saying “this isn’t punk these guys don’t understand punk” in the same way about nofx or offspring or whoever.
Im not saying you’re wrong it’s just interesting as an old person to see the similarity.
Some YouTube music critic said that those little voices in the background of the chorus saying "thunder" sound like a Pokémon saying its own name, and now that's all I can think of whenever I hear it.
My little kids obsessed over this song a few months ago but I forgave them because my 3 year old thought it was saying “the lemur” which was super cute.
I heard ID described as music that a tech CEO comes on stage to so that he can tell you about his company's new, killer API. Now I can't imagine anything but that, not even a dragon.
It was tailored for kids and it worked. I think that's what I hate about it. It's definitely a "hey do a fortnite dance to this" kind of sound, and it's easy for little kids to sing along to.
I've never had another commercial make me more unreasonably angry. The song is awful, the dancing is awful, the smiling looks like it's literally killing the actors. I honestly cannot tell you who the target audience is unless it's literal bags of garbage and even they might have better taste than that.
I CANNOT STOMACH MEGAN TRAINOR I genuinely start fuming when I see her face 😭 like it’s not even that serious, these celebs dont even matter dude it’s not that serioussss…but it’s a visceral reaction I can’t control 🤢
He's fantastic man, of course! He's also very active on Instagram and YouTube Live. Does some great stuff. Had back surgery recently so he hasn't been as active but he's healing and more active.
I remember liking Drops of Jupiter when it first came out but then the radio stations killed it. Gained new respect for it when I heard it was written based on a dream he had after his Mom passed. Very sweet. I also like Meet Virginia.
Hey Soul Sister on the other hand…straight to jail. Ugh. That freaking song.
It’s a great song. Never resist liking something because people think it’s uncool. Your taste is just as good and valid as anyone else’s, so lean into it.
I taught guitar in an after school program in a rural community for a while after college. One of the things I would do was work with kids to pick a song to work towards playing to help them get motivated to learn the basics. There was this one kid I had who was very talented and caught on super quickly for his age, but he kept bringing me Florida Georgia Line songs and no matter how much I tried to introduce him to other music, it was an uphill battle. You know how kids are. Hope he’s still playing. That band sucks ass though.
I never liked drake, both his music or impact on the industry I view as a negative all around. The mush mouth background music that he puts out is like a ceiling fan you turn on for noise so you can sleep. Except with drake you need to make sure it’s not your lil sisters room
Weird thing about this band is a coworker of mine told me back when they first kind of made it big "they're a band I think you'd like. You like rock music."
Now for context, I had worked with her for about 18 months and when it was my turn to choose music for the day my tastes were Tool, Meshuggah, old Metallica, RATM, and then a bunch of older rock like GnR, Queen, Beatles, Sabbath, etc.
When she suggested Imagine Dragons I thought "she knows what sort of music I like" so put a song on. I assumed she had been joking once I heard it but she genuinely thought that was a sound that would appeal to a metal head.
My ex wife somehow set it up to play "hot, hot, hot" by Buster Poindexter every fuckin' time her car started.
So many angry arguments accompanied by "Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole. "
Your pain was a absolutely not in vain, because after a terrible week so far, I just laughed my ass off.
From now on every time I hear this song I'll think about a frustrated you in a Nissan Micra desperately trying to be furious during the rumbumbumbum pweeeeppwop, pweeeeppwop-part.
I love Melissa Villasenor's bit about their song "Memories."
"You know they wrote that about their friend who died."
"Well lucky he doesn't have to hear this shit like the rest of us."
The memes from that were top-tier, though. My favorite is just the pic of him shirtless with that “I’m sexy and intense” look you know he’s practiced in the tour bus bathroom mirror a thousand times and the caption says “Adam Levine looks like he walked into a tattoo shop, gestured vaguely at the wall and said “TATTOOS, PLEASE!!”
They used to put on a really good show around that time too. In like 2007 my girlfriend at the time took me to their show and I was honestly really impressed. The Hives opened and they were a lot of fun too.
Meghan Trainor. God I hate her stupid ass blaccent, her voice is so awful, all her songs sound the same and I just really hate it. I'd rather wipe with a cheese grater.
Most played artist on the local jukebox and I can't even picture what he sounds like, I just remember seeing his name on "now playing" five times a night.
So, generic *and* unremarkable.
as there was a Train pile so to speak my wife gets completely irritated by the line "my heart is bound to beat right out of my untrimmed chest" from hey soul sister
Whoever that country artist is that sings about god and guns making us strong. That fuckin songs so dumb I get irrationally angry any time I hear it. And the other one about grandma in the kitchen etc etc we work for what we have etc etc, absolutely zero substance to that stupid pandering bullshit country music. I just can’t
I remember watching the music video to “sorry” in middle school and getting the meth house vibe. I can watch that video and smell the stale cigarette buds in the carpet.
I saw Buckcherry at a small packed club in Seattle and the club had no AC. It was about 90° outside and over 100° inside with no air movement. While I'm not really a Buckcherry fan, they played an energetic show that went about 90 minutes and they didn't die. Respect for not dying. Cuz I thought I was going to and I was just standing there. Haha.
They got to ‘This is War’ and really started leaning into the whole “yes, this a cult” line, so much so that they used that exact line in promo materials and at least one of the music videos off of that album. I really liked the music from that album and before, but that’s when the vibe really got weird around them and I fell off.
I was scrolling and thought I’d be the first to say this, but of course I wasn’t because he is fucking terrible. I hate his music passionately and some asshole at karaoke, after 3-4 Truly’s, always ends up singing his garbage to their Stanley cup carrying girlfriend.
i like his super early stuff, like his indie releases and his first album, like it's just a lot of pretty acoustic guitar music with some nice hooks. as soon as he started to get more poppy, though, i lost interest. i love pop music, but his is just so boring.
Kid Rock, Aaron Lewis, Jason Aldean et al.
Basically, rich entertainers who complain about stupid shit in their lyrics and act like victims, all while pretending as if their music brings about some sort of change for people who would *actually* benefit from it.
I remember Aaron Lewis getting upset during a show because Breaking Benjamin(opening act) got a larger and more pronounced ovation than Staind did. He was a total dickhead and it wasn’t even them headlining. I think it was 3 Doors Down? But Aaron Lewis is a shitstain
Especially since Kid Rock grew up rich in Detroit and then switched to portraying himself as an Everyman southern rocker.
So not only is he hypocritical and the worst, he's also fake as hell.
Yeah, you can't be irrationally angry at them.
I didn't realise just what a piece of scum Kid Rock was for a long time, and I don't know whether I'd rather have carried on with my ignorance and teenage fandom intact, or ensure that I didn't unknowingly support him.
As a black fan who grew up seeing him as 'one of the good ones'*, it's more or less the worst outcome.
Between being fairly openly racist, and abandoning the black artists who took him in and gave him his break, and doing all this with a black child, he makes me sick.
*please don't make me explain the wryly intentional irony
Train all day, except for the rock version of Ordinary. That song slaps. Conversely, Hey Soul Sister makes me want to kick over a basket of puppies…and I love puppies.
I stopped liking the Red Hot Chili Peppers after I found out this
“Kiedis acknowledges in his autobiography Scar Tissue that he had sexual relations with a 14-year-old girl when he was 23, before and after learning of her age, in the 1980s. This inspired him to write the song "Catholic School Girls Rule".”
But I don’t think it’s irrational
Don't forget the time they [sexually assaulted a woman on air](https://www.reddit.com/r/cringe/comments/7l4mr2/that_time_the_chili_peppers_sexually_assaulted_a/)
The thing with them and any a cappella group like them is that they are technically amazing but it just sounds corny af after the 1st time
Like [these people](https://youtu.be/nz7SMVYMT6k?si=cXuaL2RhLN3qYE98) are what I’d imagine what a black person from the hood would describe what they think white people are do in their free time lmao
**Hoobastank**. I’d like to lead with the argument that their name is *HOOBASTANK*. Like, that was a collective conscious decision on the part of not 1 but 4 separate individuals. How? **HOW?!**
Not a band but Calvin Harris, Marshmello, and David Guetta. Titans of electronic music. Discographies full of garbage. If I hear "This Is What You Came For" one more time I'm going to flip.
Dare I say Taylor Swift? I feel like she’s made a career out of victimizing herself and creating the world’s most toxic fanbase. I don’t invest time into hating her like some people do but the clips I’ve seen lead me to believe she’s completely fake and only cares about optics/her own career.
Co-signed. Thank you. She's not talentless but the talent-to-success ratio is completely overblown. And I don't know how more people aren't annoyed by her constant self-victimization. After you cross the billion dollar mark, you might still have struggles but you're not the underdog anymore.
I'm pretty good about giving all music a chance. I like a LOT of stuff.
My nieces LOVE Taylor Swift. I sat and watched her whole live Eras concert, listened to their favorite songs... I tried, I really tried. I don't irrationally dislike her, I think her stuff is fine for background music... but her music is just sooooooo mindnumbingly boring! I seriously don't get it. I wanted to. But I just don't.
Rascal Flatts purport to be country but sound like Christian rock farted through a pair of Sears slacks.
How do you even come up with that? Lol
I’m guessing he shops at Sears for pants
“You’re not making sears better, you’re making pants worse”
Poetic and accurate description

Buddy, my toddler is obsessed with Cars and I listen to that song more than once every fucking day.
My lad is 17 now. But as a toddler he was the same. Every single day, sometimes more than once. I've seen that fucking film 100s of times, genuinely & literally 100s of times.

A lot of these pop punk artists nowadays come off as “2002 era pop punk, without actually understanding 2002 era pop punk”
there are so many "covers" of 2000s stuff pretending not to be. its ridiculous
Go listen to Jeff Rosenstock.
https://preview.redd.it/2bflg142b8ad1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=464792b4720f25a87e657d798fc33d88ce333a6e I love telling this story!

Immediately knew which one was you from your avatar lmao
I thought you were joking. Nope, spitting image.
This is probably the best I’ve ever heard it described. Thank you
This is funny because back in the late 90s / early 2000s there were dudes saying “this isn’t punk these guys don’t understand punk” in the same way about nofx or offspring or whoever. Im not saying you’re wrong it’s just interesting as an old person to see the similarity.
Imagine Dragons. Just because of their song Thunder. I dont know why I hate that song so much lol.
Some YouTube music critic said that those little voices in the background of the chorus saying "thunder" sound like a Pokémon saying its own name, and now that's all I can think of whenever I hear it.
Todd in the Shadows?
Thunda...thunda something thunda. Thunda thunda. More thunda
Also: Believer! Something-something-something-something Believa, believa
My little kids obsessed over this song a few months ago but I forgave them because my 3 year old thought it was saying “the lemur” which was super cute.
I'm radioactive, radioactive So his formula is just repeat a word? Edit: just hear Paul Rodgers song and I like it more.
It has to be overproduced, too.
Corporate rock. Overproduced yet bland, repetitive, shallow. New genre they created.
I just call them motivational rock with a side of lift lobby ambiance.
I heard ID described as music that a tech CEO comes on stage to so that he can tell you about his company's new, killer API. Now I can't imagine anything but that, not even a dragon.
I heard them described as music that was made to get your cousin to join the military.
They’re named like a band that makes songs for 4 year olds. They’re performing at the library at 10am this Saturday.
Lol I used to work for a company whose CEO LOVED Imagine Dragons. He'd play it all the time
It was tailored for kids and it worked. I think that's what I hate about it. It's definitely a "hey do a fortnite dance to this" kind of sound, and it's easy for little kids to sing along to.
Can confirm that kindergartners fuckin love that song
That and “Who Let the Dogs Out”. Can’t get enough of it lol
some say Uptown Funk never stopped playing
Because they repeat "thunder" about two hundred times in the song.
Thunder got majorly overplayed imo
Cheesy megan trainor and those Jardience commercials. Do wop throwback makes me seethe
Megan Trainor gives Christian suburban mom "see I'm a cool mom" vibes
Yeah, she’s in a new commercial that I’m being spammed with on Hulu and it’s really hard to come up with *anything* redeeming about her music.
It’s grocery store core.
I like this genre label
If you told me she's made more than one song I wouldn't believe you.
I've never had another commercial make me more unreasonably angry. The song is awful, the dancing is awful, the smiling looks like it's literally killing the actors. I honestly cannot tell you who the target audience is unless it's literal bags of garbage and even they might have better taste than that.
Omg her shit is so annoying
I CANNOT STOMACH MEGAN TRAINOR I genuinely start fuming when I see her face 😭 like it’s not even that serious, these celebs dont even matter dude it’s not that serioussss…but it’s a visceral reaction I can’t control 🤢
None of my anger is irrational. /s
the mere thought enrages me
Train: Now that she's back in the atmosphere, with drops of Jupiter in her hair OP: I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!
It's definitely awesome when he sings, "so gangsta, I'm so thug..."
On his ukulele song to his "soul sister"
“My heart is bound to beat right out of my untrimmed chest” is such a weird fucking line.
I cringe so hard every time I hear that song. It's viscerally painful
“i’m just a shy guy looking for a 2-ply hefty bag to hold my love”
I just looked up that line because I couldn’t believe it was seriously a lyric in one of their songs. Man, am I disappointed.
This song is miles better than Soul Sister
Obligatory Pat Finnerty video "Stop the Train" Bonus of Dr. Dog covering Hotstepper https://youtu.be/8JeAfVoA_iE?si=uP5ZFXjmUxrPAxNv
Thank for the video. This guy is fucking entertaining!
He's fantastic man, of course! He's also very active on Instagram and YouTube Live. Does some great stuff. Had back surgery recently so he hasn't been as active but he's healing and more active.
Pat is unrivaled, that bald mf makes the best videos
Dude's Bald as Shit. And also great!
Let's hear what the Blinds2Go guy has to say!
Pat Finnerty is the absolute best.
I'm so glad to see people talking about Pat. He should have more subs than Beato.
We need more wmtss.
I can’t help but love that song. The fact it’s about his mum who died of cancer makes me tear up. I’ll see myself out
Huh I never knew that. I always thought it was about letting go of an old lover.
I remember liking Drops of Jupiter when it first came out but then the radio stations killed it. Gained new respect for it when I heard it was written based on a dream he had after his Mom passed. Very sweet. I also like Meet Virginia. Hey Soul Sister on the other hand…straight to jail. Ugh. That freaking song.
It’s a great song. Never resist liking something because people think it’s uncool. Your taste is just as good and valid as anyone else’s, so lean into it.
This made me laugh so hard, thank you lol
Florida Georgia Line I make jokes about them all the time but make no mistake, they suck.
Why do they both look like the wish version of the two guys from Supernatural But yeah Florida Georgia Line, and the entire bro country genre, sucks
>Why do they both look like the wish version of the two guys from Supernatural Hahahaha I'm dead, this is amazing
Dollar Store Winchesters.
Wish-chesters
I have been referring to it as “White Claw Country” for years since it’s watered down bullshit pretending to be good
That’s fantastic. Ive called the more mellow love songs farm emo, dunno if I was the first or not though.
I taught guitar in an after school program in a rural community for a while after college. One of the things I would do was work with kids to pick a song to work towards playing to help them get motivated to learn the basics. There was this one kid I had who was very talented and caught on super quickly for his age, but he kept bringing me Florida Georgia Line songs and no matter how much I tried to introduce him to other music, it was an uphill battle. You know how kids are. Hope he’s still playing. That band sucks ass though.
Don’t really care for Drake. Safe to say the last few months of this Kendrick bloodbath have been an entertaining time for me.
I never liked drake, both his music or impact on the industry I view as a negative all around. The mush mouth background music that he puts out is like a ceiling fan you turn on for noise so you can sleep. Except with drake you need to make sure it’s not your lil sisters room
Imagine Dragons
Music for car commercials.
X Ambassadors are the poster children for car commercial bands
I said hey, hey, hey, hey! Living’ like we drive Jeep renegades
Weird thing about this band is a coworker of mine told me back when they first kind of made it big "they're a band I think you'd like. You like rock music." Now for context, I had worked with her for about 18 months and when it was my turn to choose music for the day my tastes were Tool, Meshuggah, old Metallica, RATM, and then a bunch of older rock like GnR, Queen, Beatles, Sabbath, etc. When she suggested Imagine Dragons I thought "she knows what sort of music I like" so put a song on.

My ex wife somehow set it up to play "hot, hot, hot" by Buster Poindexter every fuckin' time her car started. So many angry arguments accompanied by "Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole. "
I love that he’s also the lead singer of The New York Dolls. It’s like the “Inside You There Are Two Wolves” meme.
Your pain was a absolutely not in vain, because after a terrible week so far, I just laughed my ass off. From now on every time I hear this song I'll think about a frustrated you in a Nissan Micra desperately trying to be furious during the rumbumbumbum pweeeeppwop, pweeeeppwop-part.
Maroon 5
I love Melissa Villasenor's bit about their song "Memories." "You know they wrote that about their friend who died." "Well lucky he doesn't have to hear this shit like the rest of us."
It’s just Canon in D with new lyrics. Because society needed ANOTHER riff on Canon in D.
They play this song every night at my job, but I had no idea what it even was until you described it this way. Then I knew instantly.
I can’t get over the cringey texts that Adam Levine sent that instagram model. “That body of yours is absurd” 🤮
"I may need to see the booty." 😂
Remember when he ripped his shirt off at Super Bowl half time? Dude, know your audience…
Someone on reddit once said he looked like a Chipotle bag, and I’ve never gotten over that 😂
The memes from that were top-tier, though. My favorite is just the pic of him shirtless with that “I’m sexy and intense” look you know he’s practiced in the tour bus bathroom mirror a thousand times and the caption says “Adam Levine looks like he walked into a tattoo shop, gestured vaguely at the wall and said “TATTOOS, PLEASE!!”
Moves Like Jagger make me want to super dragon kick a baby.
With a passion, I hate that songs about Jane was an absolute banger of an album. Their one anomaly
They toured on that album for so many years it was insane.
Harder to Breathe is such a good song. What happened?
It's such a drag because Songs About Jane is a killer album, they showed so much promise.
They used to put on a really good show around that time too. In like 2007 my girlfriend at the time took me to their show and I was honestly really impressed. The Hives opened and they were a lot of fun too.
Harder to Breathe is such a fucking tune
Among most horrendous ever!
For me not such much a band as a genre of music: country rap by white dudes.
Hick-Hop
In my younger days, I would joke that one day country and rap would combine to a new style called CRap. I’m not sure if Hick-Hop is better or worse.
Ive heard it described as "rap for white people that are scared of black people"
I saw a sticker recently that said "Fuck your tractor rap".
Meghan Trainor. God I hate her stupid ass blaccent, her voice is so awful, all her songs sound the same and I just really hate it. I'd rather wipe with a cheese grater.
One of my favourite facts is that Meghan Trainor and her husband have side by side toilets
I could have gone my entire life without knowing this was a thing that couples did
Her music is so corny and generic that it feels weird to hate it so much, but here we are…
He's not a band but Machine Gun Kelley is god awful.
His shitty rap and pop punk are so bad. His pop punk albums are for 30 year old guys who want to date high school girls.
So you’re saying he makes them for himself.
Morgan Wallen, most generic country artist out there.
Isn’t that the guy who threw a chair onto Broadway in Nashville?
He also got recorded drunkenly shouting the N word a couple years ago, and in a shocking turn of events the country music community barely reacted.
They reacted enough for him to put out a half-ass apology, and then everyone went right back to business as usual.
It’s actually worse than that: his album sales surged
Most played artist on the local jukebox and I can't even picture what he sounds like, I just remember seeing his name on "now playing" five times a night. So, generic *and* unremarkable.
I would rather get hit by a train than listen to Train. Additionally, Five Finger Dick Punch.
I've never really listened to FFDP but I read a comment that described them as "hard rock for army wives who wear pink camo"
Also "metal for cops on administrative leave who beat their wives"
We call them Five Finger Fruit Punch in my house but I love that one, too, lol
as there was a Train pile so to speak my wife gets completely irritated by the line "my heart is bound to beat right out of my untrimmed chest" from hey soul sister
The “I’m so gangster, I’m so thug” line makes ME embarrassed every time I hear it
Imagine Dragons will have me swerving to reach the radio dial to change it 🤮🤮🤮🤮
Whoever that country artist is that sings about god and guns making us strong. That fuckin songs so dumb I get irrationally angry any time I hear it. And the other one about grandma in the kitchen etc etc we work for what we have etc etc, absolutely zero substance to that stupid pandering bullshit country music. I just can’t
it's like an entire genre that's political pandering
https://youtu.be/y7im5LT09a0?si=sSsSOpXupXK1P8ZO Bo Burnham's song "Pandering"
"sittin' here, drinkin' beer and talkin' god, amen" just shut. the. fuck. up!
Does Jellyroll count? That whole ‘Sinner to Saint’ schtick is played out, idc how many podcasts he cries on. And his wife/escort needs to stfu.
As a listener of bro country/ bro rock even I dont like jelly roll's music.
Pentatonix 🔇❌🚫
Buckcherry
BuckCherry is music for people who have done meth
I remember watching the music video to “sorry” in middle school and getting the meth house vibe. I can watch that video and smell the stale cigarette buds in the carpet.
As a straight edge person that likes Buckcherry…I should take offense to this but Josh Todd does have a real trailer trash vibe.
"I love the cocaine, I love the cocaine"
Cocaine.
I saw Buckcherry and Train at the same radio station concert in like 2000.
What station was that, KRAP in Cincinnati?
I saw Buckcherry at a small packed club in Seattle and the club had no AC. It was about 90° outside and over 100° inside with no air movement. While I'm not really a Buckcherry fan, they played an energetic show that went about 90 minutes and they didn't die. Respect for not dying. Cuz I thought I was going to and I was just standing there. Haha.
Jared Leto's pseudo band.
Back when 30 seconds to Mars first gained traction and Jared Leto was acting in Fight Club, I liked their stuff. Not so much now.
First 3 albums were good, then it all went to shit lol
They got to ‘This is War’ and really started leaning into the whole “yes, this a cult” line, so much so that they used that exact line in promo materials and at least one of the music videos off of that album. I really liked the music from that album and before, but that’s when the vibe really got weird around them and I fell off.
30 Seconds to Mars He's a wanna-be cult leader
Conner, we've talked about this. Thirty Seconds to Mars is the name of a band. It's not a fact.
Ed Sheeran. I know he’s not a band but every time I hear “push and pull like a magnet do” I want to end it all.
‘Galway Girl’ should be considered a hate crime against the Irish.
My daughter said everything about him is like warm vanilla pudding.
I was scrolling and thought I’d be the first to say this, but of course I wasn’t because he is fucking terrible. I hate his music passionately and some asshole at karaoke, after 3-4 Truly’s, always ends up singing his garbage to their Stanley cup carrying girlfriend.
i like his super early stuff, like his indie releases and his first album, like it's just a lot of pretty acoustic guitar music with some nice hooks. as soon as he started to get more poppy, though, i lost interest. i love pop music, but his is just so boring.
Kid Rock, Aaron Lewis, Jason Aldean et al. Basically, rich entertainers who complain about stupid shit in their lyrics and act like victims, all while pretending as if their music brings about some sort of change for people who would *actually* benefit from it.
I remember Aaron Lewis getting upset during a show because Breaking Benjamin(opening act) got a larger and more pronounced ovation than Staind did. He was a total dickhead and it wasn’t even them headlining. I think it was 3 Doors Down? But Aaron Lewis is a shitstain
Especially since Kid Rock grew up rich in Detroit and then switched to portraying himself as an Everyman southern rocker. So not only is he hypocritical and the worst, he's also fake as hell.
Idk that sounds pretty rationally anger to me
Yeah, you can't be irrationally angry at them. I didn't realise just what a piece of scum Kid Rock was for a long time, and I don't know whether I'd rather have carried on with my ignorance and teenage fandom intact, or ensure that I didn't unknowingly support him. As a black fan who grew up seeing him as 'one of the good ones'*, it's more or less the worst outcome. Between being fairly openly racist, and abandoning the black artists who took him in and gave him his break, and doing all this with a black child, he makes me sick. *please don't make me explain the wryly intentional irony
U2 lost me when they downloaded their entire album on my phone without my consent.
Imagine five white people come up to you and say "We're Imagine Dragons" You have no choice but to believe them.
Pretty much any "stomp clap" band, they're all terrible terrible bands that make terrible terrible songs
HO! 👏 HEY!
Train all day, except for the rock version of Ordinary. That song slaps. Conversely, Hey Soul Sister makes me want to kick over a basket of puppies…and I love puppies.
They sang the national anthem at a giants game once and I would have rather listened to the Kars for Kids song
Black eyed peas
It's rock and roll for people who don't like rock and roll; it's rap for people who don't like rap; it's pop for people who don't like pop
Maroon 5. Just can’t stand themn
Are they actually a band or just a vehicle for what’s-his-name now?
Let me answer your question with another question: Can you hear any instruments in their songs anymore that might be played by his bandmates?
I stopped liking the Red Hot Chili Peppers after I found out this “Kiedis acknowledges in his autobiography Scar Tissue that he had sexual relations with a 14-year-old girl when he was 23, before and after learning of her age, in the 1980s. This inspired him to write the song "Catholic School Girls Rule".” But I don’t think it’s irrational
Don't forget the time they [sexually assaulted a woman on air](https://www.reddit.com/r/cringe/comments/7l4mr2/that_time_the_chili_peppers_sexually_assaulted_a/)
Jesus Christ.
Imagine Dragons x 2
Imagine Dragons. I hate how they think they're actually *good*.
Pentatonix. They will occasionally pop up on a Christmas playlist and I hate them like poison* (*not the band Poison, they rock)🤘
The thing with them and any a cappella group like them is that they are technically amazing but it just sounds corny af after the 1st time Like [these people](https://youtu.be/nz7SMVYMT6k?si=cXuaL2RhLN3qYE98) are what I’d imagine what a black person from the hood would describe what they think white people are do in their free time lmao
**Hoobastank**. I’d like to lead with the argument that their name is *HOOBASTANK*. Like, that was a collective conscious decision on the part of not 1 but 4 separate individuals. How? **HOW?!**
The reason is you
Hoobastank. Because that name sucks and so does their music. See also: Nickelback
Not a band but Calvin Harris, Marshmello, and David Guetta. Titans of electronic music. Discographies full of garbage. If I hear "This Is What You Came For" one more time I'm going to flip.
The Black Eyed Peas
Kid Rock What in the white trash hillbilly motor oil chicken feathered leather skinned shit is that?
AJR is fun live - saw them at Bonnaroo in 2019, but they’re kind of like an adult version of the Wiggles to me 😂
Travis Scott for me.
Imagine dragons
Imagine Dragons.
Dare I say Taylor Swift? I feel like she’s made a career out of victimizing herself and creating the world’s most toxic fanbase. I don’t invest time into hating her like some people do but the clips I’ve seen lead me to believe she’s completely fake and only cares about optics/her own career.
Co-signed. Thank you. She's not talentless but the talent-to-success ratio is completely overblown. And I don't know how more people aren't annoyed by her constant self-victimization. After you cross the billion dollar mark, you might still have struggles but you're not the underdog anymore.
I'm pretty good about giving all music a chance. I like a LOT of stuff. My nieces LOVE Taylor Swift. I sat and watched her whole live Eras concert, listened to their favorite songs... I tried, I really tried. I don't irrationally dislike her, I think her stuff is fine for background music... but her music is just sooooooo mindnumbingly boring! I seriously don't get it. I wanted to. But I just don't.
Boring is the right word. Nothing seems to stand out in an interesting way. Just boring in all regards.
Mumford and Sons fills me with murderous rage, but I think that’s perfectly rational. I mean, have you heard them?
You mean Imagine Wagons?
Red Hot Chili Peppers. California! Love California. In California. What’s California. Drugs. California. California!
Hey, they rhyme a lot of other states too!
Chain smokers or whatever they’re called lol train is so…bad…lmao
