Top 10 Worst Songs of the 2010s

Too much positivity on this blog so far! Here's a healthy dose of songs I loathe.

Not all of these are objectively the worst things ever (though I would argue some of them are...ok, maybe most of them), but I despise them all for various reasons. Remember, these are just my opinions, and I don't think any less of you as a person if you enjoy one or more of these.

I'm not reviewing these, but on a few I'll provide a bit of explanation.

Enjoy, or hate.



Honorable Mention: Skrillex - Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites (Phonat Remix)

10. Coldplay - A Sky Full of Stars  ||  Released 2014  ||  Dance Pop  || ... the point I started to hate modern Coldplay. I'm a huge apologist against snobs who take shots at their earlier stuff, and even Mylo, but I can't stand this song.

9. LMFAO - Sorry for Party Rocking  ||  Released 2012  ||  Electro House

8. Eminem - Chloraseptic  ||  Released 2017  ||  Pop Rap

7. Tom MacDonald - Whiteboy  ||  Released 2018  ||  Political Hip Hop  || ... sensitive much? WHITE...BOY. WHITE...BOY.

6. Hugh Jackman & The Greatest Showman Ensemble - A Million Dreams ||  Released 2017  ||  Film Soundtrack  || ... vapid, falsely sincere, generic, annoying. 

5. Lil Dicky - Earth  ||  Released 2019  ||  Comedy Rap

4. Ylvis - The Fox  ||  Released 2013  ||  Novelty

3. 93PUNX - It's a Bad Dream  ||  Released 2019  ||  Emo Rap  || ...if only it was...if only it was...

2. Walk the Moon - Shut Up + Dance  ||  Released 2014  ||  Alternative Dance  || ... the worst kind of earworm. Makes me physically grind my teeth, without hyperbole.

1. Disturbed - The Sound of Silence  ||  Released 2016  ||  Symphonic Rock  || ... the worst cover ever made.

Completionist Indexing Project - Art Pop (pop in. #1)

Art pop is probably my second favorite genre of music. I took a lot of time sorting and ranking the list below. Art pop is a genre that blends pop sensibility with avant-garde influences, creating a unique space where accessibility and experimentation coexist. Emerging in the late 20th century, Art Pop artists have been known to push the boundaries of conventional pop music, drawing inspiration from diverse sources such as visual arts, classical music, and unconventional production techniques. While its roots can be traced to the likes of David Bowie and Kate Bush, the genre's evolution continues with artists like Björk and St. Vincent, who mix eccentricity with mainstream appeal. Art Pop's charm lies in its ability to fuse the familiar with the unfamiliar, crafting sonic landscapes that are as thought-provoking as they are catchy. Below is a survey of my favorite art pop. 1. 야야 킴 [YAYA Kim] - a.k.a YAYA  ||  Jazz Pop, Art Rock, Art Pop  ||  2022  || ...
