    Or alternatively, 10s songs you feel shouldn't exist, if you want to go that far.

    Now this is pretty much a generic hate thread for radio songs, but there are some things you should know. First off, this is for songs from the current decade like the title says. As in from '10 to now. Secondly, you MUST give a reason why you dislike a song, and when you disagree, don't be an ass over it. Like for example, someone says "get lucky sux" and the next guy is like "YOU SON OF A F*KING B*CH". First, you need to give a reason so that we can get your hatred, and secondly, you can't simply get so worked up. It's just an opinion, if you disagree, you can just simply defend the song person 1 hates. Also, just posting the name of the song you don't like with a, like a 'come at me' gif or something related, is not allowed either. All this is considered spamming in my eyes, and you know that's against the rules.

    Now, my input has got to be Dark Horse by Katy Perry. Trust me, I LOATHE that song with a burning passion, and I also feel the world could do better without it. I don't find it catchy, the beat is lame, the rapping is horrendous, I can't make anything from the lyrics, and it's kinda overplayed(Though I might be biased there, because I don't like the song). I'd even go far to say it ruined mordern music for me, well, maybe just a bit. But I still feel it shouldn't have existed.

    What are your least favourite songs from this decade?
     
    Blurred Lines is up there. mainly because of the lyrics and I hate Pharrell's voice and persona, so that helps (or doesn't help, I guess).

    Dark Horse isn't even bad, imo, though. but then again I haven't listened to it nearly enough for it to be overplayed in my eyes. not bad, though.

    For me, the very first answer that comes to mind for me is Wiggle by Jason Derulo featuring Snoop Dogg. They pass it off as a song that's meant to be catchy...and really, it's not. It's lazy, and the chorus is laid out with an instrument that's meant for little children. You can't dance to it, and that's before we get to the friggin' lyrics. "Your booty like two planets"? Ugh, please no. And Snoop Dogg doesn't do anything interesting for it either.
     
    Oh god Blurred Lines... it was alright back when it was first released, but the fact the family of Marvin Gaye decided to throw a lawsuit against the song claiming it ripped off one of his songs, and successfully won the case. Now when I ever hear the song I'll always remember it as one of the worst ripoffs of the decade.

    Then there's Shake It Off by Taylor Swift. Do not ever speak of this song around me, and it's the song that's to blame for my distaste of her lately.

    And of course, pretty much every One Direction song and album. I tolerated boy bands in the 90's (granted I was very young back then) but then this very band that placed third on The X Factor started to emerge and literally kill every boy band that was coming out at the same time. The fact they killed careers of similar groups (such as The Wanted, who I described as a more tolerable 1D) as well as churning out a new album every single year (which I heavily detest because it doesn't give you enough time to let the album grow on you, and that was why I didn't like Rihanna when she did that a lot) and that's why I will forever hate their music. And don't get me started on how often they get chased by stampedes of teen girls, in fact crowds so huge they remind me of what it was like when The Beatles got big.

    Hmm, this is hard... Well, time to start a tirade...

    1. Happy (Pharrell)
    Jesus Christ does this song annoy me, it is just over played and stupid. I probably dislike it because Westboro Inbred Cult parodied it.

    I'll think of more, I am between threads right now.
     
    I really think Happy is too over-hated, but I won't delve into that now.

    In the meantime, here's another song that NEEDS a mention: Marvin Gaye by Charlie Puth and Meghan Trainor. "Let's Marvin Gaye and get it on"? Turning his name into a verb? Are you for real? I try not to get bothered by weird lyrics too much (I usually don't), but that is just a total insult. Marvin Gaye would be crying in his grave if he heard it.

    This.

    I know Beyonce has had songs that made me cringe a lot, but with this one she so dropped the balls. Her voice was just the most annoying and it made me know one thing about most of her other big hits, they were so bad they were good.
     
    Not a fan of Blurred Lines for obvious reasons. Also really didn't like All About that Bass this year because while people claimed "oh it's body empowerment!" it needs a man's approval when the lyrics state "boys like a little more booty to hold in the night" and it totally defeats the message that people claim it sends. It's catchy, I'll give it that, but definitely not empowering and that's my main issue with the song. I don't like anything from Taylor Swift, personally. Probably my least favorite artist.

    I couldn't come up with ten songs if I tried, though. I'd have to actually run into them while listening to the radio or a playlist. I don'd actively seek songs out to dislike them or listen to things I hate, so I can't just sit here and pin point everything I don't like, haha.

    Edit: So I just realized that the 10 in the title referred to the decade and not like a literal top 10. Good thing I didn't actually write one out. lol

    For me, it is Smartphones by Trey Songz. I can't deal with songs that have bad messages and the message in Smartphones is pure disgusting. Cheating on a person you're with is disgusting no matter how you look at it, however cheating on a person and lying about it, which is the message of this song, makes you complete human garbage. It also makes me hate it more when he blames his phone, instead of himself.
     
    No one said Harlem Shake yet? Is that even music? What about Gentleman and Hangover? Gimme a break, PSY.

    Happy is cancer and I'm glad they don't play it anymore on the radio. Let It Go is so much better, but I barely heard it, it was just HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY until my ears exploded. Definitely one of the reasons heavy metal is my favourite genre.

    Besides that, any One Direction/Justin Bieber/Nicki Minaj/Miley Cyrus song is not worth listening to, and I don't think I need to explain why. Dark Horse is another ridiculous song either, especially because of a crappy rapper whose place was just not there. Actually, most of Katy Perry's songs are crap. Except for Hot n Cold.

    Gangnam Style, What Does the Fox Say and Let It Go are great songs though. Harlem Shake is not music. Gentleman is not music. Hangover is not music. Dark Horse is not music. 1D, JB, Nicki and Miley are not music. Happy gets a pass, but it got so overplayed where I live that I can't tolerate it.

    I think the reason why Happy by Pharrell Williams was so popular was because it was getting heavily associated with uh, Despicable Me 2 wasn't it? And we know the Minions from those movies are a truly popular character.

    Imo DBZ:Battle of the Gods or Monsters University was the best animated movie of 2013 (with Frozen grabbing the 3rd place) but Despicable Me 2 wasn't bad either, it just gave rise to this cancerous song I can't stand. Idk about the US or Australia, but in Romania I barely heard Let It Go wherever I went. It was just HAPPY and HAPPY and more HAPPY. And Dark Horse. Ughhh.

    Hey now, don't knock trap until you've tried it. It, by and large, won't enter the mainstream as a genre outside of the Harlem Shake videos, but it's got some good stuff for people who like either hip-hop or one of the numerous electronic genres.

    It's worth noting that PSY is a comedian artist kind of like Weird Al, but with more original song comedy material rather than making song parodies.

    Definitely one of the reasons heavy metal is my favourite genre.

    I don't get why an overwhelming number of metal fans feel the need to bash on music that falls outside the metal genre (actually, thinking on it, I have a few theories, but I'll keep those to myself). Metal is interesting and generally pretty good-sounding music, but lyrically, like with most genres, its most popular songs tend to be lacking (and before you blast me for not being a "true" metal fan or anything absurd of that sort, metal was a huge chunk of my listening between when I turned 16 and when I turned 21; also, if lyrics were a huge deal for me, I wouldn't be into the trap genre, which generally doesn't have lyrics). Fans of metal insulting other genres doesn't really turn people on to metal. Being inquisitive about other genres without being confrontational is what can turn people onto it, as well as easing them in with lighter metal songs or metal songs that sound similar to what they like (ie - rapcore and metalcore being solid genres to introduce metal to people who like hip-hop and rap).



    As for me, I can't really think of any song in particular I can't stand or outright hate, but I've been fairly musically isolated from mainstream music via either metal or delving deep into indie electronic and hip-hop-esque music genres. Well that and discovering Daft Punk at the tail end of 2011.

    The whole country genre doesn't really appeal to me, though, but with that a lot of it's that, whenever a country song comes on, I can't help but think of every single song I've heard from that genre that has a vocalist with an insane twang to their voice, which is really the primary thing that puts me off the genre.
     
    I just realised I have a distaste for OneRepublic. They and most of their songs are just... Mediocre, at least in my opinion. I guess I probably don't like it because I'm tired of seeing their (bad) hits hogging up the charts, or maybe because they are strangely popular in my family. I just... Don't like em.

    Oh and recently, Charlie Puth. I get the urge to facepalm everytime I hear one of his singles on the radio. Arg.
     
    Thrift Shop by Macklemore. My dad listens to that song all the time in the car and all I want to do is open the car door and roll out.

    Florida Georgia Line. I know it's not a specific song but I live in South Carolina and I keep hearing their music. I. Hate. Florida. Georgia. Line.

    I live in Alabama so I hear a lot of this, Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean, and every other generic country singer. It is odd to me that people claim pop music is all the same when country music is the worst offender. A lot of the songs are the same thing? Girl wearing jeans, there's beer, trucks (probably muddy), chorus is always about something the girl makes the guy want to do (cough roll my windows down and cruise cough) and it's just boring? I get that pop music does this a lot too, but I think country not only offends that, but also, a lot of the songs just sound the same to me.

    Sorry I'm hijacking you for my country music rant lmao. But I guess while I'm on it, I have to ask, does anyone else's parents listen to country? Like they got to a certain age and just decided "well I'm 40 now and I have to be lame so I can only listen to country music for the rest of my life" and literally don't listen to any other genre anymore? Because my mom did that and I'm just like ????? what happened to u we used to listen to nelly and usher and bon jovi and hootie and the blowfish and shaggy wtf
     
    For me it is "Blurred Lines" because the lyrics are just downright horrible and "Thinking Out Loud." I find the Ed Sheeran song overrated and boring.

    Dude, there is more than enough room for both of us on the SS Please-No-Not-This-Country-Song-Again. My parents still listen to other music but it's like country music is slowly eating away their other music interest. 3-4 years ago I would almost never hear country music when around them and now it's almost all they listen to.
     
    I also live in the south (Georgia) so have to hear a lot of country music. Granted, some if it isn't bad.

    There's a country singer named Colt Ford who lives in the city near me that does "Country Rap". Excuse me, no. It's absolutely horrible. I honestly can't even just pick one song.

    Also, I thought I was the only one that thought using Marvin Gaye as a verb was weird.

    Heavy metal popular songs aren't that bad compared to mainstream pop or country. There's stuff like Metallica, Iron Maiden, Nightwish and Nirvana, whose most well-known songs are actually good. While I can say the same about Gangnam Style, The Fox or Let It Go, I can't say the same about Gentleman, Hangover, or any of JB/1D/Taylor Swift/Miley Cyrus/Nicki Minaj songs. Speaking of Nicki Minaj, I mean... even the name of the songs are just stupid. "Beez in the Trap"? "Stupid Hoe"? REALLY?!
