Every single modern country song made after 9/11. My coworkers blast this garbage all day at work and I’m nearly ready to tear my own teeth out. They’re all the same song. All of them. Preachy suburban anthems for whitey to feel good about himself. Kenny Chesney, Brooks & Dunn, Florida Georgia Line, Zack Brown Band, Alan Jackson, and my most hated of all: Luke Bryan.
Luke Bryan’s song “Most People are Good” is the worst country song ever made. From the bleating vocals to the meandering chords, never have I heard a song that manages to be both boring and infuriating. The song might as well be entitled “Rich white man tries to say the bare minimum of nice things and still fucks it up.” Some liberals got into the song briefly because there’s a lyric “I believe you love who you love, ain’t nothing to ever be ashamed of” which seems to be pro-LGBTQ, but like, it’s the absolute bare minimum of acceptance. Also, most people are good? Well who’s not good then Mr Luke Bryan? That’s not addressed and it encourages the listener to plug in whatever nascent bigotries they might possess.
The song also tries to sneak in white American Christianity too, like all these country songs, but Mr Bryan even fucks that up too by engaging in blasphemy: “I believe them streets of gold, Are worth the work, But I’d still wanna go, Even if they were paved in dirt” He’s suggesting that the Christian paradise could somehow be disappointing, even though all descriptions of it are a realm of unending bliss. Good job fucking up your own religion, man.
I hate these people so much.
IDK about “worst,” because every objectively bad song I can think of was bad on purpose. But I have a special dislike for Rockstar by nickelback
yeah yeah I know the memes but I swear to god it was every other song on the radio when I was in high school, I didn’t even hate it at first until it just ground my brain into dust
Maybe that Mariah Carey christmas song because I love christmas songs, but that one gets played the most despite sounding worse than the other versions
I have a photograph, would you mind looking at it?
Fuck that band though. I’ve never encountered a good person who likes them.
You know the shitty compilation CDs that would get really annoying TV commercials advertising them? I clearly remember one of those coming on prominently featuring Nickelback and my grandfather muting it with a scowl and saying it reminded him of Bach, adding “I never cared for Bach.”
Every once in a while we encounter a take so bizarre it halts all thought. This a moment like that for me. Who doesn’t like Bach? Why? I admire his conviction in his hatred for Bach transcending genre and leading to disdain for a butt-rock band though. Probably the first and last time Chode Kroeger has been compared to a classical composer though lmao.
That Kid Rock song that combines Warren Zevon’s Werewolves of London and Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Sweet Home Alabama and makes them both worse.
He rhymes “things” with “things” :stuff:
i gotta plug Pat Finnerty for the Youtube freaks on here
Blurred Lines is overwhelmingly early 2010s, has sex pesty lyrics, and was made by a sex pest as well. It could’ve been beaten by Baked Alaska’s We Love Our Cops, but that song has the same aura as the video of Gale Boetticher singing Major Tom lol
