You Belong With Me - Taylor Swift, this song played non stop when I worked retail and OMG it's so grossly misogynistic, she's just trashing this girl because she has the audacity to date HER crush. And she's just showing up at his house when she knows they are going through a rough patch all like you should be with me instead. π€’ This is the IM NOT LIKE OTHER GIRLS anthem with a grating faux Southern accent and banjos. π

I'm generally a fan Swift's music, but I remember listening to this song and just thinking it was the feminine version of a white night incel. I get it's supposed to be the song "all of us" felt like when we were in middle school or high school watching a crush date someone, but anyone older should view the song as a "what not to do" song.
Baby shark
Imo the worst songs are the ones that are generic and boring and as such it's hard to remember any one in particular
First thing that comes to mind is Dance Monkey. Certainly doesn't help how popular that song was. It's mostly the way that it's sang that irks me
I don't like the original but I'm kinda nuts over a heavy metal remix I found on Youtube.
Frogleap Studios. Awesome stuff. I love his cover of "Can't get you out of my head" by Kylie Minogue. The way he acts in that video helps to highlight just how stalkerish that song is
Anything by Kim Dracula.
Absolutely garbage.
Probably something by Corey Feldman if we go by artistic value alone, although I'd argue that Noise Music sounds even worse.
I've once went down the rabbit hole of "Power Electronics", which is like an extremist subgenre of Noise Music and in my opinion some of the worst "music" I've listened to.
If you're not on at least the level of Microsoft Paint being run as a wav, you should just quit as a musician.
The Christmas Shoes
The song is called "Bodybag" and I'm pretty sure it's by Hit the Lights? Really bad.
Wasn't expecting to see Hit The Lights in this thread.
That song is cool, but I'm more of a fan of These Backs Are Made For Stabbing and Save Your Breath.
My favorite thing about this one is that the uploader removes any overly negative comments so it's just full of extremely sarcastic praise.
Pour Some Sugar On Me is just terrible. And Peaceful Easy Feeling.
My conservative father listens to some dude called βCreed Fisherβ; the dude literally sings about people who don't have good ol' fashion American Patronism and that he'll βkick their assβ for not having it. It is so cringy.
FWIW: I don't identify with conservatives or liberals.

I listen to RPGamers internet radio (huge shoutout to them) which is a radio station that plays all video game music, which some will tell you is good for concentration because the songs are mostly instrumental, though there are a few that are vocal. There are two songs, however, that totally kill the concentration mood, one of them being the Deckard Cain Rap from Diablo and the Slaughterhouse Scramble from Beyond Good and Evil. The latter of these is one of the absolute worst things, if not the worst, you might ever hear from a station that focuses on concentration, and it's the only song on there with a consistent zero likes after songs stopped being added for the most part. The other one is just a regular rap, it's comedic and I find myself at the receiving end of a lot of sighs because I always request it for the uplift.
