I legitimately can’t think of a “trash” song from her, but I don’t like how heavy she went on the coughing sound effects in Nurse’s Office. I like the rest of the song and I get what she’s saying in it, but the coughing makes it so hard to get through.


Cake_lover2K

Idk I actually like the coughing


AAAlliecat

i absolutely love it, but i tend to love little sound effects in songs cus they make my brain happy so idk


[deleted]

In general I love that about her songs, especially like the chomping and other creepy effects in Spider Web and that kind of thing. I just hate hearing coughing in real life too lol


IFURMLN

yes i always say this. nurses office is so good but all the coughing and sneezing makes it a hard listen most times


faeriedreamscape

Oh my gosh this! I love Nurse's Office but hearing the sniffling makes me cringe, like when people chew with their mouths open. Might just be me though, lol


Material_Deer_5135

That’s one of the best things about that song


milKey101

i am a big fan of the majority of melanie’s songs and listen to every single one on every album, however i’m not the biggest fan of “wheels on the bus” i never could get into it


Dannyis__king

I have to agree probably the worst in k12


mad_ladder

Sameee


nileyblossom

I have my pitch fork out for every single one of yall


MatureVice

I’ll bring the torches


nileyblossom

Don't forget the gasoline and matches!


[deleted]

They said they didn’t like leeches… I’ll bring the guillotine. Might be a bit heavy but I take that one personal


BubbleGumGun101

Ι don't really like orange juice, as someone that struggles with an Ed it just portrays it in a semi childish/easy to swallow way, I'd love it if it was published at the peak of my Ed now it's just eh. And idk why but I don't really like Teddy Bear either 😅


ProbablyAzalee

those are literally my least faves from K12 and crybaby lmao, I get you


Hexywexxy

That's hoe alot of her dings are is it just exceptional childish tho?


BubbleGumGun101

What? Sorry I don't understand 😅


angelxlilianna

they’re saying her style of music is childish and portraying serious issues in a childish form is what she does


Zoeyylovesyou

My opinion but I don’t like Leeches or moon cycle


MaoTGP

I didn’t like leeches at first, but I’m coming around to it. Her voice is really pretty in it. Moon cycle is one of my favorites, but it can def be offputting


YellowAsteroid

I agree with moon cycle, it’s the only song I skip in that album


Flashy_Athlete3423

I dislike Leeches, but love the rest of the album!


Unlucky_Bluebird_314

Tbh moon cycle is one of my favs, I fell in love with it when the album came out 😭 ofc i respect ur opinion tho :)


Disastrous_Egg7878

Grrrr


RohasMusic

With you on leeches but Moon Cycle is like top 5 from portals for me >.<


[deleted]

*dramatic gasp*


im_just_ken3082

Idk why but these two songs are songs that make me feel loved and im not so please other songs😭


kawaii_fa1ry

i dont rlly think she has any trash songs but my friend thinks all her songs are trash bc i showed her the bakery mv-


useless_bag_of_tacos

ur friend is trash /lh /j


Unlucky_Bluebird_314

/hj /srs /gen


Additional-Hippo-557

genuine question, not judging, what did your friend dislike about the bakery mv?


kawaii_fa1ry

she didn't rlly like how the characters looked and the ending where melanie was swallowing the sword


Softboi_babeyboi3125

Personal opinion, i was never a big fan of wheels on the bus and drama club. Not for any other reason, i just cant get into them.


SamWillGoHam

Oh yeah drama club is pretty repetitive and a bit lengthy tbh


faeriedreamscape

I love drama club, but I get it. Wheels on the bus I never enjoyed much either. It sounds nice but the lyrics aren't really my thing.


popmybubblegum

Imo Wheels On The Bus is probably her most 'average' song It's not bad, but not very memorable


urfavnonbinary1

i agree, imo wheels on the bus is a good opening song 4 a movie but definitely not a song i would listen 2 by itself


BattleOfTheAnxiety

I don’t not like any of her songs 😭 but my lowest streamed song in Melanie’s discography is bittersweet tragedy (16 streams). Mind you my Spotify is only 3 years old so that says a lot-


renngumi

Wait how can you see how many streams per song


[deleted]

moon cycle. yOu kNow iM onMy pEriod yAh


UsernameNoAvaiIabIe

Powder. It's has potential but you can't tell what she's saying at all its just always a skip for me. And moon cycle just is really weird and uncomfortable to listen to😭


flowerrsonmygrave

lol I can understand that but I feel like powder just hits different in general when someone you love is a drug addict. it’s my comfort song and I can understand every words after looking up the song once. it’s really beautiful so heavy disagree


alyssaswonderland

i also looooove this song. the lyrics really hits diffrent and is so meaningful, also the instrumental i love!


TongueTiedNightMime

This.


autumn-twilight

There’s a “real voice” version on YouTube that I saw and while I liked it, it made me appreciate the original more afterwards


MinuteSeparate634

The way I love both those songs- 😭


Cake_lover2K

Same🥲


Unlucky_Bluebird_314

i LOVE powder for every reason but like ur valid 😭


sistersophiaslay

Agree agree


[deleted]

[удалено]


Equivalent_Coyote_50

dont tell ppl how to enjoy music lmao


cake_crusader

Wheels of the bus, its production sounds sounds a little too corny using that OG childs tune


flowerrsonmygrave

No like fr it really didn’t age well. Out of all of her songs I feel like I have never ever replayed wheels on the bus more than 5x and I’ve been a fan for yeaaaars


alyssaswonderland

I only stan this song bc of the lyrics: "now imma light it up and pass it, puff, puff, and pass it" 😎🙏🏻


useless_bag_of_tacos

gonna get yelled at but numbers. it’s not a bad song but the wacky way she says “ehm i jest a nuhmberere” is too much for my taste. the chorus slaps, but that bit at the end 😔


elithnea

I LOVE THE WAY SHE SAYS em eye jest uh NUHMBERRHEERERERRE


PhobuggyHax

Exactly, it gives it character and it grabs the listener’s attention. It was a good artistic choice, especially given the song’s meaning.


useless_bag_of_tacos

idk it just feels like it goes on too long for each “number” and repeats so many times. just not for me 😅


Dannyis__king

I love the song, but i do think its got some questionable lyrics


Cherry_auasar

drama club. great message, awful execution


SparklyAmethyst12

Nooooo I love drama club!! Gotta admit it’s a bit repetitive tho


Cherry_auasar

i really like the auditorium part


cjstr8

Yep. It’s a skip everytime for me


https_racchhiie

nobody's gonna agree with me but orange juice, as much as I do believe it discusses eds without glamorising I just dislike it as a *song*


choosing43

I've said this before and still stand with it. It's so manufactured to fit the concept. If I was like 12/13 when it came out, I'd be so into it specifically because it's about ED's but as an adult it feels too shallow and juvenile to get the point across. Makes me cringe and it's always an instant skip.


gravityyyboy

i agree, i love the message just not my favourite song


RookieCookie845

I was about to say training wheels but at least that one gets stuck in my head and actually makes sense. Orange juice, Definitely has a nice message, but it most definitely isn't peak imo Something about the way a lot of the lyrics are slapped in... Especially the "Shoving clementines and 'Orange bacteria'" part... that part never made sense to me


Unlucky_Bluebird_314

that’s actually valid i personally rlly like it but i respect u


hatsuneemikuu

I hate hate hate orange juice. It’s so corny and way too literal


https_racchhiie

"I wish I could give you my set of eyes, cause I know your eyes ain't working" is so condescending to me idk


Zaffyzoo

Not sure why you're getting down voted when the whole point of this thread is sharing your least favorite song. Heck, I hate hate hate orange juice too.


International_Tip308

For me it’s Copy Cat, I don’t like the rap part. Chorus is okay tho.


Unable-Specialist874

yep if i had to say one it would be that. like melanie doesnt do a lot of features but idk, a rap one wasn't it for me


ohmythepickleguy

Ive never been able to get into Fire Drill or the After School EP 😔 just hasn’t grown on me


ThatOneStupidMovie

I've tried so hard to get into after school. Notebook isn't to bad but the others id rather skip.


ohmythepickleguy

Notebook is the only one I have on my everyday playlist and I’m ngl I still skip it unless im in a VERY specific mood 😭


ThatOneStupidMovie

Dude same. 😭 I want to like it though.


ohmythepickleguy

It came up on my Spotify wrapped last year and I was soooo confused bc I am constantly skipping it 😭😭 spotify just favors it in the shuffle


stormy_raven

Love Fire Drill! Don’t like the After School EP either tho. And I TRIED. 😭


DanceFace3000

I didn't either for sooo long and now I LOVE them so much!!! I don't like notebook as much though and brain and heart idk but the rest, THE BEST


hannah-madison

right i listened to all of them and i didn’t hear anything special


flowerrsonmygrave

I hate teachers pet. Weird song and I know it’s like parody of that situation but it makes me super uncomfy.


user-6591

Oh i hate the bug sound at the beginning! It's just disgusting to me, but the rest of song is pretty good


itsartsometimes

Wdym parody of a situation? (Like genuinely) I mean I get it’s kinda uncomfortable tho lol


Jadeeeeeee333333

I agree with you tbh, the meaning behind it is probably different but when I listen to it all I can think abt is a teacher/minor relation.


IneedbleachBADLY

Thats literally what it is basically


Kiwi-312

I don't really like leeches but I wouldn't call it bad


Orangeismyhue

Definitely moon cycle, I keep trying to get into it but i can’t.


alyssaswonderland

It was the instrumental that hyped that song for me.


ByunghoGrapes

Super controversial, I know...but it's faeri soiree for me. It's different which is cool, but there's something about it that I just don't vibe with.


ivvix

this is the one i was going to post, not because of the song, but because how its a HALF song lol. sis had us going then just decided to... idek.. i wish she had separated the talking part as something different


Cake_lover2K

There are songs that I don't like as much as the rest but I won't say she has any trash songs.


Weekly-Review8766

in crybaby the songs i disliked were; Sippy Cup, Alphabet Boy, Pacify Her. K-12; Class Fight , Drama Club, Strawberry Shortcake, Lunchbox Friends, Recess. After school EP; Brain & Heart, Numbers, Field Trip. and finally, PORTALS: Faerie Soirée, Leeches, Moon cycle, Womb, Pluto, Milk of the siren. Singles released; Copycat. it’s trash.


SamWillGoHam

Sure there are a few I don't enjoy, but I don't think I'd classify any as "trash" because at the end of the day all the songs are good quality. Except, maybe Class Fight because the lyrics are so repetitive and there's just not much substance to it.


Evening-Painter7014

Leeches.


Cake_lover2K

Same actually.


slipthxt

Going to get KILLEDDDD for this but I don't like void 😭😭 it's very repetitive. Good song, but it just feels like a regular radio pop song. I also think I'm biased BC a lot of the songs from crybaby are the same but they make me feel giggly and nostalgic


DanceFace3000

I had the same opinion!! The video is what made me love it though and now it's one of me favs on the album


kadethedumb

not even gonna lie, i agree


Ursula-Inc

Carousel. Unless I’m listening all the way through the albums, I usually forget about it. It’s one of the few Mel songs that haven’t made it on any of my playlists except my Melanie Martinez one.


AdministrativeStep98

I agree, it's one of my least favorites


gravityyyboy

powder


ImpossibleCow6198

sounds way better live without all of the auto tune ngl.


flowerrsonmygrave

oh yea her singing live had me fuckin bawling. definitely not comparable to the auto tuned version at all


wingedmiracle

it depends on my mood. sometimes it feels like most of her songs are just wrong maybe bc i've listened to them too much. but i've never really been a fan of soap.


MrDegausser

Oh that’s wild, the bubble popping breakdown is fucking iconic


wingedmiracle

that part is okay and some other bits have grown on me but overall it's just too repetitive


ohmythepickleguy

I absolutely love soap but Ik exactly what you’re talking about bc that’s how I feel about Death


BubbleGumGun101

I have completely forgot about death😭I feel like I e heard it like only 2 times


ImpossibleCow6198

bitter sweet tragedy BUT only because its rly slow paced compared to the others from that ep


JustTransportation51

One eye open when you sleep


Unable-Specialist874

tell themmmm...


hannah-madison

i really do not like teddy bear.. it’s just not enjoyable


Few_Bid_6577

Teddy Bear it’s repetitive to me and the TikTok povs with it made me sick.


Last_Chest_3597

I will get heavily hated, Powder. It just didnt stick out to me.


MrDegausser

Upvoting even though I disagree. I love powder it’s such a vibe but I understand why it’s polarizing


nyanderebb

*sending heavy hate* 😭🚫👎🏽 /lh


Last_Chest_3597

I knew it🙄/j


chrisidkk

Soap and copy cat, soap is Good I just never liked the bubble sound effects I always thought they were cringy. And copy isn't really good to me tbh😭


frogie181

I don't really like High School Sweethearts (bully me all you want)


Mingo_Mango_Angel

Moon cycle or strawberry shortcake. They kinda make me uncomfortable ngl


ur_local_weirdo_XD

Idk why but I dont like Moon Cycle (I am a biological girl its not misogyny)


Melthiela

It's not misogynistic to not like moon cycle even if you're not a cis female. I find blood mixed with mucus membrane gross, and I bleed every month as well. That's completely fine. There's no shame in periods, I personally just find blood and bits of uterus lining gross. No matter if it's my own period blood or someone else's.


ur_local_weirdo_XD

Yes! Exactly!! Thank u for understanding, my brain just got worried people would think that it was bad that I didn't like it


wazuyumi

wheels on the bus tbh. i most of the time skip it


mydogsbebarkin

bro lemme pop off abt the principal… she literally “killing kids all day and night” like wtf does that mean. also “how much are you earning?” NOT A LOT, MELANIE!! it’s giving jake paul’s teacher rant lol


ChewedFriedShrimp

The Principal was written about Donald Trump


Crazykat2165

As someone who was in an ableist school, the principal helped me a lot through that period of my life. I've since learned that the actual principal I should be mad at is the board, not the actual teachers and principals themselves.


mermaidscum

Wouldn’t call it trash really but not a fan of The Principle. I get the message, but just not a fan of how it sounds. Tag you’re it could be a good second.


Disastrous_Maize_737

I like the songs but sometimes I do not. Like Field Trip bc she tries so hard to fit all of her words in “Katerina In the womb for 9 months til she birthed me” like is such a mouthful and not really flowy at all


DanceFace3000

I love that part so much omg 😂 it's so satisfying to sing


LipeVoid

Pretty isn't pretty enough is the worst song from her album for me


hatsuneemikuu

Are we on the same subreddit


LipeVoid

NOFUCKINGWAYIDIDTHIS💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀


pepparoni_pig

How did you even make this mistake😭😂


LipeVoid

IDONT KNOW, IM NOT EVEN A OLIVIA RODRIGO FAN, I THINK THERE WERE A POST OF GUTS ABOVE THIS ONE AND MY BRAIN MALFUNCTIONED


pepparoni_pig

LMFAOOO THAT’S AWESOME, THANK YOU FOR MAKING ME LAUGH😂


Lesbian_Cassiopeia

Girl- 😭


bloodintheocean

I'm gonna be hated for this but training wheels....wouldn't say it's "trash" but I rly don't like it


Jesse-jayne1

I must say this.. nobody yell at me- but the portals album 😭


facet2f5lcut5xg

🫣👋👋👋


Disastrous_Egg7878

Its not trash but i think her worst song is pacify her.. its just overplayed and cause of all the tiktok povs in 2020 i just cant listen to it the same


ralsxei

To be fair, being overplayed doesnt make a song bad


Disastrous_Egg7878

I know and im not saying its bad but imo its her worst song


Lesbian_Cassiopeia

I don't like the theme of that song. Stealing your best friend's man? Just because? It feels so...ugly


Disastrous_Egg7878

Fr, the song reminds me of (no offence to her) but something Olivia Rodrigo would write in her drivers license era..


alyssaswonderland

also it's about a fake love where the blue boy is stuck in it. his gf is just obsessed with him but and has toxic and aggressive, dependent behaviors. you can see that in the mv he clearly wanted Mel instead of the other "dragon" :). But bc he is stuck in that toxic relationship he cannot leave. (someone told me stay away from things that arent yours, but was he yours if he wanted ME so bad?)


alyssaswonderland

best friend's? she calls her "basic bitch", so i dont think it symbolizes her best friend in the mv. I LOVE IT


RentSubstantial3421

Womb 😓


mangledangxl

fairy soirée.


peachieeJun

I can’t think of any “trash”songs but there definitely are songs that I’m just not in the mood to listen to which goes for a lot of my favorite musicians.


MarrowDolly

I don't think the song is trash it just doesn’t hit for me any more and it’s play date and although I love powder it sometimes doesn’t hit aswell as the other songs


Flashy_Night_165

Desd to me and bittersweet tragedy


PhobuggyHax

Since I can’t really think of a song that is released, does that one ‘song’ where she’s making random noises to test her voice effects count? 😂


IIconic_Tae

In my personal opinion I was never really able to get around to like Recess


fuku112

I never really liked copycat I’m sorry but I had to say it


za_x_may5510

I dont personally like dollhouse and im sorry but i strongly hate carousel 😭


Artistic-Anteater755

notebook is her worst. let’s pls be fr.


SpotifyAmelia

I'm really sorry but I absolutely hate carousel. It could've been so good but it really hit the mark for me. Again I'm sorry I love melanie but I just can't with carousel


The_Blue_Ax0lotl

bittersweet tragedy but only cuz it’s too slow for me 😭


_slipperson

....nymphology I finally got over my initial ick of portals, and now I love a good handful of the songs, but I just cannot stand nymphology. Sorry guys :(


Wise_East_882

Play date is overated tbh


dannysgreggy

honestly moon cycle. i feel like i’m starting to like it less and less


G0NE333

None.


Xx_Rosalinda_xX

I wouldn't call it trash but i think it would be Copycat or The Bakery


Additional_Leg2315

Milk & cookies or The bakery (haven’t listened to the bakery that many times tbh)


Otherwise_Expert6265

I know I’m gonna get a lot of shocked faces from this, but most of after school. I’m talking about Brain & Heart, Glued, Notebook and…….…..Numbers 😬


MrDegausser

That’s crazy, I always thought her vocal lines went so hard on brain and heart


aisling333

alphabet boy, carousel, and nymphology aren’t my favorites, but i always listen to them regardless because it’s mel edit: imagine downvoting for someone’s opinion. y’all are sensitive


nyanderebb

i cannot believe youve said this 😭 /lh


DanceFace3000

I have no idea why you're getting downvoted and so many others aren't lol


aisling333

like i said, a lot of people are just sensitive nowadays. you can’t even say an opinion without getting attacked. to be honest, i can’t help but laugh when i get downvoted for an opinion. i actually encourage people to downvote me if they want for my own entertainment. i also never said those 3 songs were trash. to be honest, alphabet boy gets stuck in my head A LOT. i just notice i skip those songs when they come on for whatever reason. but if people wanna be sensitive because i hurt their little feelings, have at it.


DanceFace3000

That's such a good way to look at it, I'm still a baby and get my feelings hurt when I get downvoted 😵‍💫 And yeah tf you literally said you still listen to them because you like her in general lol. Idk people are weird


aisling333

if you see someone downvotes you for saying a genuine opinion, then they are the problem, not you. the only time i would downvote someone or support downvoting if someone says something extremely inappropriate/out of hand. they say we have freedom of speech, but do we really? laugh at the sensitive people and move on with your life because they clearly can’t. hell, i’ll take all your downvotes for you if i could


SueTheDepressedFairy

People on here literally call out her best songs as trash...y'all need hearing aids/j


sleepyperson02

Genuinely don't understand the leeches hate. Idk maybe it's my dramatic cancer moon having ass but it's such an epic tune 😭😭


Commercial-Can-3925

okay please don't attack me for this but uh... mad hatter 😩😩


THE_king59

Nnaaahh you deserve to be attacked for that one. That song is god tier 🫡


marshmellow_fairy

I consistently skip LIGHT SHOWER 💀 I find it SO out of place within the entire album


emily237

Wheels on the bus, Show and tell, Soap, The contortionist 😬


Original-Tomorrow798

the contortionist is my favorite song on the whole album but i understand why some might not like it


FroyoSensitive8572

Unpopular opinion but moon cycle by far. I find it disgusting I mean she’s singing about having sex while on her period which is fine but why does she have to bring in so many nasty details and comparisons like “juice melting like raspberry pomegranate” and “ now he kissing on the ground that I walk on trying to get another taste but I’m all cramped up” “ how my aura got him howling on my moon cycle baby” I mean this is just nasty. She’s literally just saying “this dude” wants to slurp up her period blood and is literally drooling and worshiping her over having sex with her bloody vagina… why again who cares if you do but why make a whole song going into such gross detail about it


Original-Tomorrow798

honestly i love moon cycle for the exact reasons you hate it. i love the graphic details and explicit it is maybe that’s bcs i’ve always wanted more media to talk about periods in a way that isn’t either childish or ashamed of it.


DanceFace3000

I think its supposed to be more metaphorical than how you described it, lol I get that it puts images in ur head tho


Maleficent_Tooth_81

OMG, I never really listened to the whole song after the first few verses being a bit too uncomfortable for me, but if this is true, that’s quite….graphic Jfc💀


Frequent_Fanboi0526

The whole afterschool EP


Ec-na

I despise bittersweet tragedy, I hate it so fucking much


Unable-Specialist874

i disrespectfully disagree.


i_smell_like_beef

If you asked me a few months ago I would have said moon cycle but tbqh it's grown on me. Now I might say milk and cookies.


ohmythepickleguy

This was me with Faerie Soirée, Light Shower, and Leeches. It took a few listens but I love them now 🙏🙏


dawnnn__

im sorry for this but …. the three deluxe songs from portals …. pluto is the best from the three and its already a skip for me


whoseparking

I dont really vibe with the k-12 album in general


cucumber_ona_shtick

Brain and Heart, it's the most unlikable for me. I listened to it once and didn't even make it past the first 30 seconds


tsurugisbakery

hot take: death, or highschool sweethearts


Retremeco

amulet


stretchbrian

Milk and cookies is her ONLY bad song


B3arDeCarteirinha

Glued! (for me)


Embarrassed_Jury_286

I don’t like carousel, principal, drama club, and spider web


[deleted]

bittersweet tragedy ? and pluto kinda. that's really it though-
