    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.

        Haha I have, at least if I’m thinking of the right thing, the YouTube video? He stretches a few (my degrees are in music theory so I can hear what he means and not all of them are exactly the same chord progressions) but I feel seen nonetheless.

      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.

    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.

      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

    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.

    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.

    Most Justin Bieber songs but I despise his early stuff. I heard baby way too much back when you couldn’t escape it

    Edit: I thought of an even worse one, pon pon shit from cyberpunk. That song is the only reason bodyheat isn’t my go to station in that game.

      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

    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.
