      I was struggling to think of something I truly hate

      I was coming up with a lot of bad tracks, sure, but they don’t really inspire hatered

      This one however, viscerally upsetting from the first bar

    Shake it Off by Taylor Swift.

    When it came out, I was a regular gym-goer. I would spend an hour and a half at the gym three days a week and hear that song at least three times every single time I was there. And then you’d hear it anywhere else that played music as well, like stores. It was just too much.

    All I Wanna Do Is Have Some Fun by Sheryl Crow, or any song where the artist is doing that annoying kind-of-singing-but-also-just-talking thing (NOT to be confused with rap, I do enjoy lots of rap and hip-hop). It’s hard to explain. I think Red Hot Chili Peppers has a song where they do it too, and it annoys the fuck outta me.

    Gonna go against the grain here with something classical: Pachabel’s Canon in D. I liked it when I was a kid, for at least the first 10 or 20 times I heard it, but since then I’ve probably heard it thousands of times, and I’m not even a strings player. I’m not exaggerating either; it’s in so many commercials, weddings, movies, just over loudspeakers in the grocery store… ugh it’s inescapable. Pretty the first few times, sure, but it’s so aggressively bland.

      I didn’t have a solid answer to the question until I read this. Absolutely gets the worst response from me.

      First two chords and I’m like “nooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!”

      I could have sworn a friend of mine wrote this, because he often said the exact same thing. But, he was a string player.

      Personally, it seems like I can’t go a day without hearing one of The Four Seasons in media.

    I Will Survive - Something about this song just makes me murderous.

    Don’t Stop Believing - By the gods, please do stop. I love Journey, but just don’t play this.

    Bohemian Rhapsody - I think I’m just really tired of it. It’s been held up at such a pinnacle for so long and played far too often and I just can’t anymore. I don’t care. Turn it off.

      All three of these are songs that, I probably on paper should enjoy, but I think through over- (and mis-) use have come to despise them.

      Top choices if limited to genres I listen to.

    Currently, that shitty pop song that sampled “Blue” by Eiffle 65. It was already a perfectly good club song (imo) and there was no need to ruin it.

      One day I realized I had been hearing it at least hourly on the radio while driving delivery and some switch in my head flipped. Can’t stand it. I want to never hear it again. I’ve heard Black Hole Sun more times in my life than I want to and that amount needs to stop getting higher

    Sweet Home Alabama

    When I still listened to the radio in the car, it started on one station, so I switched to another rock station. It was playing there too, on a different part. Switched to yet another rock station and it was also playing that terrible song!

      My biggest beef with Sweet Home Alabama is, if people are ever singing along with it, or if they’re singing it at karaoke. I should mention that I live in the South, so these people singing it are from the South, and even though the song itself isn’t racist, the way these people emphasize certain lyrics, it sure sounds like they want it to be racist.

      The whole thing makes me uncomfortable.

        It is absolutely a racist song. It’s a “response” to Southern Man by Neil Young (great song btw)

      God the “Watergate does not bother me… does your conscience bother you?” line alone puts this up there for me, and that’s far from the only thing to dislike.

    There are two songs that I will verbally abuse a movie for having on its soundtrack.

    “What A Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong, and “Fly Me To The Moon” by Frank Sinatra.

    If you put those songs in…anything, you’re a fucking hack.

    WAWW has been used both straight and ironically TO DEATH. It has been played over beautiful and horrific scenes. There’s nothing you can use it to say that hasn’t already been said by someone more clever than you.

    FMTTM is the song completely uncreative people put in movies that have something to do with the moon. “We have an establishing shot of the moon and we need some licensed music for the soundtrack. Gee, now what’s the hackiest laziest most cliched pissbabyest lack of a brain stemiest thing we could put here?” “You’re not going to believe this, but I found a Sinatra song that might just be a lazy enough choice. It’s already been used in all the other movies, is that lazy enough?”

    Anything written by Sabrina Cuntpunter.

    What a toxic, abusive, petty little shit she seems to proudly declare herself as.

      Her lyrics is always implying that she is the queen and all men in her life should worship her. Then she will discard them for the pettiest reasons.
