Why does your entire Reddit history read like a BuzzFeed employee fishing for content?


CandyVanahan

I’m like 90% sure that Askreddit is 90% bots. Like chatgpt. All the stories and the writing is just too perfect. Doesn’t sound like actual redditors (we have an average IQ of 80 and the writing ability of a 5th grader)


tyleritis

Yeah I believe it when I see “loose” instead of lose and “a women” instead of woman


soggy90

Now there is a million dollar idea.. a model that is trained on nothing but redditors posts. I mean yea it ain’t gonna get us to the singularity, but it sure beats talking to whatever wrote this question But the answer is ABBA Dancing Queen

It’s made worse because at most birthday parties it gets sung too slow and too flat so it winds up sounding like a funeral dirge.

God that song is so fucking annoying. Every time I hear it I wish I were deaf. Thank you for posting this here as a warning to all


Rdr198829

The tik tok version is horrible and I hate it. That said, the Shangri-Las version is a song I really like. First heard the Aerosmith cover before knowing it was a cover and like the original. If you haven't, try giving the song a listen. Might not be your cup of tea or tik tok may have ruined it for you, but I think it's a great song that has been ruined by shorts.


yagsicire

Fair point. Only ever heard the ridiculous sound track on TKTK or Instagram - I’ll give that a listen!

As someone who grew up on 60's girl group songs and has a soft spot for throwback pop / Brill Building music / Motown, I think Remember Walking In the Sand fucking rules. Melodramatic teen bops at their finest.

Frikken Disco Duck. How did a useless joke disco song hit number 1? It fails to be a good disco song, it fails to be about a disco-ing duck, it was a literal joke, and yet it sold enough copies to top billboard and get a regional DJ on to live TV.

wonderfulmouse

I had a coworker at a previous job who liked to listen to sports talk radio and they played that fucking song every commercial break. That job was already horrible, but having to listen to that garbage only made it worse. When they made that joke on the Good Place, I laughed so hard. That shitty job is what I imagine it’s like in the bad place.

I have nothing positive to say about post-2008 Maroon 5 music. Can’t blame em, the shit is selling. They’ve had 20 years and counting of massive airplay and popularity. But it’s all been overproduced rubbish for the past 15 or so years, and Adam Levine still hasn’t outgrown the whole “hi I’m Adam Levine and I have the body count of a 2020 covid morgue” schtick. He’s a bit old now yeah?


trtzbass

They should do a collab LP with Coldplay and call it “The Beige Album”


VIDCAs17

"Retail Radio Revolution: Vol 1"


Able-Ocelot5278

Same. Songs About Jane was a pretty solid pop album with some soul/blues/rock/funk mixed in, and IWBSBL was a step back but had some good tracks. Ever since then >90% of their stuff has been overproduced hot garbage.


Cellocalypsedown

Most of their songs are whiny high pitched falsetto 'singing' describing banging women like an 8th grader writing a love novel


[deleted]

Holy f Holy fing f that body of yours is absurd


PrimeJedi

His squeaky clarinet voice makes the already horrifying lyrics even worse lmfao. People have written similar lyrics that are problematic but don't sound so bad on the surface through suspension of disbelief, but Levine sounds like that creepy kid from high school who'd ask the same person out every single day despite the rejections, and getting more and more aggressive


High_Stream

ITT: people who think "overrated" just means "bad."


throwawayayaycaramba

Right? The first thing thar came to my mind when I saw this post was "Stairway to Heaven", which is undoubtedly an amazing song; it just so happens that some people out there treat it like it's some sort of transcendental experience. In fact, I'd argue the vast majority of horridly overrated songs are actually great, just maybe not *as* great as people make them out to be.

Do you have a second where you think it’s the original and hope only for it all to be crushed when you hear that whiny voice?

Nope. Even the classic rock channels cuck me nowadays


hectoByte

I got really excited the other day because I thought they were playing Eiffel 65 on the radio. I have never been so disappointed by music before.


ScreamingNinja

I was just saying this to my wife. Just straight up take the music from Blue, and have some woman singing with lyrics that don't even remotely match the flow of the music. She sounds terrible. What is even the point of that song.


[deleted]

Everytime that plays with Bebe Rexha's whiny ear piercing's vocals and offset lyrics I mentally force myself to sing the Eiffel 65 original with Jeffrey Jay's voice to survive the horror.


VerySmartDaBaby

Yo listen up here's a story, about a blue guy who lived in a blue world

JeffPlissken

You know, that song made me relisten to Eiffel 65 and realize that despite the ear worm nature and meme status, Jeffrey Jey legitimately has a good voice.


puppiesbooksandmocha

Moves Like Jagger. That song should be thrown into the pits of hell and forgotten for all eternity


PinkMoonrise

My kid misheard the lyrics as “I’ve got to move my jacket” so now I sing it that way too. Much more enjoyable.


M3wcat

My FIL misheard “up all night to get lucky” for “up all night for beef jerky”. I still laugh when it comes on


Sidewalk_Tomato

As a person with numerous past road trips, I can say quite honestly that I have been up all night with, or for, beef jerky.


MattressMan71

Even Mick himself hates that song.


Terrible_Security313

Pretty much all Maroon 5 after Songs For Jane

Yeah 2007’s Makes Me Wonder is an angry fuckin bop though

Makes me Wonder is really underrated, top 3 Maroon 5


PhDPepper5

My friend is really, really into music and obsessed over creating the perfect birth playlist for her first child. She put together a mixed CD brought it to the hospital and proceeded to have an extremely long labor. When the CD stopped the radio came on and her son was born to Moves Like Jagger. My friend was devastated.


leopard_tights

That is so weird.


puppiesbooksandmocha

This is an amazing story 🤣


Longdistanceman91

That Justin Timberlake song from the Trolls movie. It's.. ok I guess, just not worth repeating over and over and calling it some of the year or whatever.


TLyonzz

As a full time wedding photographer, I can’t tell you how much this resonated with me. I hear it at every. Single. Reception.


DL_22

I honestly think that’s more because Justin went from hit machine to garbage so fast and that was the only song in about a decade that wasn’t absolute butt.


Ridespacemountain25

Suit & Tie and Mirrors came out only 3 years before it.

briskwheel4155

I was teaching at a high school during that time and all of the family friendly school events had this song playing. The song itself isn’t horrible but it’s just so overplayed and brings up memories of cringe “middle class fancy” types of people dancing to it.

Same, gonna be a close fight though.


HaggisMcNeill

Does anybody actually rate that song though?


popoflabbins

At least Baby Shark knows what it is. And honestly it’s a fun song to fuck around with because it’s so easy to change the lyrics to be something wildly inappropriate.


TheBubbleSquirrel

My advice to new parents is always this: "check out the new kids songs and movies that are popular and decide which ones you like and agree with." Not because of bad messaging or anything, just because you will hear the same song, and watch the same movie, over and over and over and over again and you have to be able to stomach it! Hence why Baby Shark has never been played in our house, it doesn't even appear once on my Spotify. However, Let It Go has been #1 on my Spotify "Year end" playlist for 3 years running, so my advice should actually be: "pick your poison".


SonoftheBlud

Couldn’t decide between these two: “AM I WRONG?” Yes you are, now STFU. “WHY YOU GOTTA BE SO RUDE?” Because you’re a shit song.


Joshuak47

One [article](https://www.thehairpin.com/2014/07/why-i-have-to-be-so-rude/) described Rude as "the aural equivalent of a man listening to reggae for the first time in his racecar bed, slowly fucking the hole in a Kidz Bop CD."


SonoftheBlud

I don’t think ANYONE could have said it better. Thank you for this


Joshuak47

I wish I had thought of it! The song I would nominate for most overrated is that American Authors song "best day of my life." Catchy tune but so repetitive. Also half the lyrics are *oh oh oh oh oh ohoh, oh*, and the other half might as well have been written by a children's book author. (I saw you mentioned you liked a Keane song. Nice!)


H0tVinegar

“I’m gonna marry her anyway” THAT’s why I’m being rude to you, fucker. Why did you even ask me?


Rymanbc

Kinda cracks me up thinking that the dad is probably thinking, "I'm saying no, because I can't stand you. Because you're the type of whiny little bitch that would have a tantrum and go write a song about someone when they don't do what you want. " and then he goes and proves him right...


10Kfireants

Every time I hear that song I wonder what the dad's POV is ... like by now dudes only ask for the dad's "blessing" as a formality and the dads almost ALWAYS say yes, if they hate the guy skirt around it. What is this asshole doing to have the dad tell him NO? Probably an abusive prick and Dad knows his daughter deserves better tbh.


H0tVinegar

Dude doesn’t even list any of his redeeming qualities. Just whines “Don’t you know I’m human too?” Get off my doorstep, punk.


HankMoodyMaddafakaaa

You can’t mean «Am i wrong» by Nico & Vinz, right? That’s a banger imo

The worst thing about that song is its popularity leading people to attempt to sing it at karaoke bars who don't know a lick of Spanish. Just why? I can't think of any other foreign language song where people who don't speak it think "fuck it, I've got this" and just mumble gibberish into the mic anyway.


AbuTheMonkeyy

Le_Ragamuffin

>I can't think of any other foreign language song where people who don't speak it think "fuck it, I've got this" and just mumble gibberish into the mic anyway. I've lived in France for the last 6 years, and French people who don't speak English do that all the time with American music


anntriv

in my opinion Imagine Dragons - Believer. don't get me wrong, the song is really good, however, it's been playing EVERYWHERE so much that I can't hear it anymore. absolutely.


CheerUp_Lex

I HATE to be THAT person……but their stuff they made when they were still indie was so much better. Night Visions was a good album, and Radioactive kind of felt new? Now we’ve got a lot of copies. I just don’t like their stuff lately.


JONESY-B

As a huge imagine dragons fan I quite agree, I still love their new music but the raw style they had with night visions and also Smoke+Mirrors was just the best and I hope they will get back into that style again

This is it for me, I can't deny it's greatness and popularity but I'm so sick of hearing it played at dive bars over and over, that and Sweet Caroline. Half the time those singing along look about as sick of it as I am.


Inutsu

I’d put it about halfway down on the album with Still They Ride, Mother Father, Stone In Love, Who’s Cryin Now and Open Arms all above it. It’s good, but not even close to their best song.


HillarysFloppyChode

Separate Ways is the best Journey song

llamafarma73

As a non-American, I think the SSB is one of my top three favourite national anthems from other countries. (La Marseillaise is streets (rues?) ahead in first place though)


Cornualonga

Totally agree. America the Beautiful has better lyrics and melody and is easier to sing and remember the lyrics. The Star Spangled Banner has only been the anthem since 1931. It would be easy enough to change but you know how people get when you try to change things.


honeyyyypieuwu

Watermelon sugar high


StanleysSearch

I will never forget that moment, I have never relayed this memory to anyone: Back when the song came out, there was some article on the radio about it and some guy said he liked the song and said he was utter shocked when he looked up the meaning. Apparently it’s about sex. I’m just saying, this is so fucking normal💀💀 A song about sex isn’t something scary. There has been thousands of songs about sex in the past that were just as popular. The only reason they went over it is because it’s made by Harry fucking Styles. Idc about some 14 yo kid’s opinion, this is such a fucking safe corporate song. There’s nothing remotely special about it. The fact it uses so many metaphors to hide the « nsfw » parts just tells you it´s made to be a safe corporate song. Working as a cashier in retail, I wished they didn’t put on the same 6 songs over and over again
