I was gonna say Happy by Pharrel Williams but someone else said Sweet Caroline and I might have to change my vote. Actually it's not that terrible of a song (Sweet Caroline I mean), but hearing it played at weddings and sporting events and then they pause it so everyone can scream BUM BUM BUMMM does get to me after the 5 millionth time.

Sweater weather. I already didn't like the downtempo vibe, but it got painfully overplayed back in the day. Unfortunately, I still hear it occasionally. Anything but that, please.

"What's going on" by Four Non-Blondes - what a childish nepo baby song and what a dumb fucking name for a band.

[–] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 hours ago

I don't understand this comment... did some googling and I missing the nepotism bit?

[–] LaLuzDelSol@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

Happy birthday, there's a bunch of other traditional birthday songs passed down in other languages and cultures that are so much better than happy birthday

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 1 points 14 hours ago

Imagine dragons - cutthroat.

I refuse to believe that this is a real song. Id themselves are garbage in general, but this is just insane.

[–] starlinguk@lemmy.world 7 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (1 children)

It's weird how many people are mentioning older songs, because most modern songs are absolute trash. Just a refrain, singing the same 3 autotuned notes again and again.

[–] LaLuzDelSol@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I hate to say ok boomer but that is a painfully boomer take

[–] Evkob@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 hours ago

Seriously, "most modern songs"? In the era with the most new music being produced in a massive number of different genres and styles that would have been unimaginable just a generation ago?

I like the oldies as much as anyone else, heck I only really got into listening to music after discovering The Beatles and '70s prog rock as a teen. But if you can't find good music being produced in 2025, that's not a problem with the music industry, that's a problem with you.

If anyone reading this struggles to find new artists they like, I recommend checking out NPR's Tiny Desk concerts as well as KEXP's live performances on YouTube. I've found a lot of artists I love from these sources.

Sweet Caroline - Neil Diamond. I’m from New England so I hear it often and the back story makes me cringe every time and I haaate it

[–] card797@champserver.net 1 points 6 hours ago

Went to a Yankee wedding in New Orleans(where i'm from). This tune came on and those people went nuts. Knew every word and I just stared in amazement.

[–] LaLuzDelSol@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

Yeah as someone who has spent almost their whole life in the Carolinas I am sick to death of that song, especially when people do the little singalong bits.

[–] TastyWheat@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago (4 children)

That Mariah Carey one. You know the one.

[–] okr765@lemmy.okr765.com 1 points 15 hours ago

I found this version to be much more tolerable: https://youtube.com/watch?v=oY9O-WbMxO0

Toss up between Jenny (867-5309) for being absolutely disgusting on a conceptual level for glorifying stalker behavior or Owner of a Lonely Heart for going fucking nowhere and then having the audacity to drop a blaring synth note like it's a crescendo before going back to nothing.

[–] loppwn@sh.itjust.works 1 points 17 hours ago

Lemon Tree by Fools Garden

[–] WatDabney@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Black Hole Sun.

It's a tedious, grating and ridiculously repetitive dirge.

All About That Bass by Meghan Trainor. It is the only song I seriously hate, and also the only artist I seriously hate hearing. I don't love the message, and Ialso don't like the delivery at all. I think a factor is also how overplayed it was when it first came out.

[–] CallMeM@lemmy.ml 3 points 19 hours ago

plus she took Ozempic to lose weight, so she wasnt all about that base at all, lol

[–] MonkRome@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

Disappointed that I have not seen every song Dave Matthews has ever sung listed in here.

[–] whaleross@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (2 children)

MmmBop. I hated it the first time I heard it, I hate it now, and I only have to be reminded of it's existence and it will play in my head because it is so fucking catchy that somebody must have sacrificed the minimum of one newborn to some dark deity that thrives one human suffering.

[–] rudyharrelson@lemmy.radio 1 points 13 hours ago

My old boss used to die of cringe any time I started humming this song at the office.

[–] remon@ani.social 3 points 18 hours ago

Great song!
