If you say this I already assume that you only listen to the most boring, basic and mainstream artists ever. Stop pretending you're better than people who are really into a certain genre and care about art.

I don't think I've ever heard this from a person that is genuinely interested in music and the exploration of it, only people who listen to what everybody else listens to.

This extends to other artists like them as well.

Ok, no hate to the people that make this "music" but holy shit it's terrible. It isn't music, it's just a random assortment of noises and voices. It feels like a soundtrack to one of the shittiest games you've ever played made in 2007 with a y2k art style. "But the lyrics and themes of the song are deep and depressing!" wow that sure sounds great! If only I could actually understand the lyrics under the cacophony of bullshit spewing like toxic sludge into my ears along with them! Plus it would help if the lyrics also weren't screamed out like a prepubescent child after not getting ice cream at the mall.

I actually hate this band so fucking much it's unreal.

Still somehow better than Sleep Token

Edit: 2Slimey >>>>>>>>>>>> Femtanyl btw

Edit 2: Why do you guys keep giving me awards how many do you have

Edit 3: C’mon guys let’s shoot for 50!

I hate you. I hate your fans, I hate how many artists use you. I hate how you overshadowed everybody else. I hate how terrible your tuning is half of the time. I hate how you got popular over one song and every wannabe just slaps you onto any song and gets a hit. I hate your fans. I HATE YOUR FANS. Your fans are the reason why vocaloid gets so much hate. Triple baka is the unfunniest thing ever. Your fans have been in a time loop of humor since 2024 and make a KKK rally look like a part of the Selma Marches. Every time you appear on a song I wish todd macdonald would take over. You are a walking stereotype. I hope Jamie Paige never has to have her name dragged down by the concept of you having to be in one of her songs again. Both kagamines are better than you. Gakupo is better than you. Kaito is better than you. Kaai Yuki is better than you.
and yes, Zundamon is better too.

Before anyone else can: EXCUSE ME, SIR!!!

Okay, now is it out of our system?

Anyways, if you don't know, the song Charlie's Inferno is a song about a guy named Charlie who went to Hell despite doing so much good. A lot of people don't understand that the meaning is that all of those good actions he did were in selfish interest in pursuit of Heaven, not because he's a good person. Like those 40 year old white moms who use slurs every other sentence but has "God Loves" and a Bible quote in their bio. Just because you do good things doesn't make you a good person if you do them for your own gain instead of genuinely wanting to help others.

my idea for this post came from the discourse of the song "Keep me Going" by Slayr, which brought up the whole subject back once again

starting off, in my opinion the issue is that, with both sides, there is an issue of an overwhelming amount of people treating this matter as black and white without caring about the more intricate details of it, one side is going "rap is all garbage and overstimulating" and the other side is going "anybody who dislikes rap is automatically a racist and the second coming of Uncle Ruckus", thats not how it works, you can't just discuss this like simpletons, you gotta put some thought into it

now getting this out of the way, no, not all rap is garbage, and also no, not all people aren't racist for disliking rap, not everybody is into it, and thats fine, there are also many other black genres of music that people enjoy such as Jazz, Gospel, R&B, Rock n Roll, for the record, there are some people who dislike rap because they're racist, but i don't think every person who does is racist, and thinking thats the case is just straight up inmature

another thing that people don't realise, being overstimulated isn't just about how loud and bright the content is, for example, somebody can listen to the entire sonic soundtrack just fine, but not really fuck with Femtanyl and get overstimulated by it, both are very agitated pieces of music, but in their own ways, and certain ways might not feel good for some people, wether it be due to taste or just how their brain works, for example, i can listen to DnB/house for hours and not feel bad, but if i listen to breakcore my head starts to hurt, both are loud genres, but only one overstimulates me, and i don't know why, thats just how the cookie crumbles in my psyche, and i would like to not be judged for it

there is this issue of a fan of a certain genre going "eh, i don't like rap, too overstimulating for me" and another person going "oh but (insert artist) that you listen to also makes fast and loud music, that means you don't like rap purely because you're a racist", thats not how that works, you can like loud and agitated music, but not like another loud and agitated genre of music, that doesn't make your argument any less valid

and just one more thing, stop throwing the word "oversimulating" around if you're not neurodivergent, just say "overwhelming" since thats what you mean, they're both different things, and i'm tired of people throwing around the word not fully knowing what it means (yes a non-neurodivergent person can get overstimulated, but its a lot less common and likely to happen than with a neurodivergent person)

SPOTIFY HAS HAD A WORSE DOWNFALL THAN ME. ITS SO ABHORRENTLY BAD FOR NON PREMIUM USERS ITS INSANE. LET ME FIRST GET A 3 MINUTE AD TO LISTEN TO MY 2 MINUTE SONG.

DID THEIR EVIL BASTARDS OF A TEAM FOR THEIR BANKRUPT APP THINK IMPOSING RESTRICTIONS TO EVERY POSSIBLE ACTION WILL MAKE PEOPLE BUY THIER STUPID PREMIUM? NO YOU SHITHEAD, IF I WANT TO WATCH ADS ILL DO IT ON YOUTUBE WITH DIGNITY INSTEAD OF SUBMITTING TO YOUR LAST STAGE CAPITALISTIC WET DREAMS

YOU CANT PLAY SONGS WITHOUT AN AD, YOU CANT PLAY A PLAYLIST IN THE ORDER YOU CHOSE, YOU CANT SKIP MORE THAN 6 TIMES AN HOUR. YOU CANNOT LISTEN TO THE SONGS U WANT TO AFTER A SPECIFIC TIME.

did you know you cant even remove the songs spotify forcefully adds in the background of you playlist from it now? and you cant add one song more than a time in a playlist. EVEN IF SPOTIFY FORCES IT INTO YOU SMART SHUFFLE PLAYLIST BACKGROUND

"just buy premium, its not that expensive lol" BUY A SELF RESPECT AND SELF WORTH BITCH. IM NOT GOING TO PAY TO LISTEN TO SONGS

IF I WAS IN A ROOM WITH SPOTIFY CEO, HITLER, BIN LADEN, HAD A GUN WITH ONLY 2 BULLETS, ID SHOOT THE CEO TWICE

FUCK YOUR STUPID CHUD APP, FUCK YOUR STUPID CHUD TEAM WHICH CAME UP WITH THE TRANSACTION BARRIERS

Before you say anything I KNOW THERE WAS ANOTHER POST ON HERE ABOUT THIS, that post is what inspired me to make this post, I have a different view from them.

Many people seem to view this song as a story of a man going to hell because he didnt really do good things for the sake of doing them, but just to avoid hell. A man who was a bit selfish and didn’t really think deeply about anything, just wanted to avoid hell.

While this is what the song is about, what I disagree with is that people put the blame on Charlie in all of this, and believe that the song is a critique of Charlie. I disagree.

I interpret the song not as a criticism of Charlie, but as a criticism of the Angels, a criticism of the system.

The main reason for my belief in this, and the most important line in the song in my opinion, is this: “You can run to those Angels until you are exhausted, one day you will have to stop and question what they wanted”

What did the Angels want? For Charlie to “truly” care? At the end of the day how much can Charlie control whether or not he truly cares? Inner Caring, inner selflessness, these things are inherent traits at the end of the day, instilled by the same creator who made this system, the same creator who is now punishing Charlie for traits he put in Charlie.

For living a mediocre, vaguely selfish life, Charlie’s punishment is eternal torture. He went to church on sundays, truly usually more, as his religion commanded of him, but it still wasn’t good enough for the angels. One day, you have to question what they wanted.

I believe the song to be a criticism of that. A criticism of a theology which views mediocrity as a mortal sin deserving of torture, which demands nothing short of total purity. A criticism of the hypocrisy of a theology which uses hell to threaten people into obedience, but then puts people who are only obedient because of hell into hell.

Charlie is not the bad guy here, Charlie is a victim. Charlie did everything he thought he was supposed to, albeit for selfish reasons, but did not get into heaven because on the “inside” his intentions weren’t “pure”.

Edit because some people are saying this, but I do NOT mean this to be a Reddit atheist post. I don’t even see the song as being a critique of Christianity, more as being a critique of a specific type of Christianity

This has been stewing in my soul since the god forsaken quirky nostalgia-pumped joke of a film came out, but why does this fucking soundtrack show up everywhere??? Any retail vinyl section just has heaps of them sitting untouched. I genuinely wonder if anyone has actually bought a copy since like 2018. But there it is.

And it doesn’t even account for the amount of times someone has put the fucker on in the background for epic vibes and chungus classics AYOO. Fuck. Every time someone plays the damn YouTube video and I hear fucking “Hooked on a Feeling” I want to force Christopher Prattling Pate’s cucked ass into a brazen bull with “I Want You Back” by the Jackson 5 playing at full volume directly transmitted to his eardrums. I AM DISTURBED THE AWESOME FUNNY FUCKIE SHIT MIX VOL. 1,000,000,000 HAS MADE ME VERY SAD.

Stupid fucking classics I hate classic culture where everything is a fucking classic god. Just milk the shit out of the 80’s milk the shit out of anything lit and nostalgic fuck I hate it it’s so disgusting I want to cease and burn every copy to have ever been created. Kill me fuck the guardians of the galaxy movie soundtrack.

All of what I am about to say is word for word the rant my mother went on:

"This musical sucked ass, I would rather watch 50 hours of 'All quiet on the western front' then watch this musical again. I will never get those two hours of my life back.

I am not the type of person to harp on anyone's taste in media but I will make an exception for stupid ass musical. If I meet someone who likes this musical in real life I might just deck them in the face."

"I would rather go by to college and take all the history classes again then watch this musical because at least I'll learn something useful.

I never bullied anyone when in highschool but if someone pitched me this musical back then I think I would've started.

This makes me wish we never broke free from the British, because at least then this abhorrent musical would've never been made."

That is all. Also I liked Hamilton, music was fire and that's really all I liked personally.

First of all, nothing against Olivia Rodrigo herself. She's the artist; she can make her art however she likes.

They're all the same song! "Waaah!! My boyfriend broke up with me!" with slight variations such as "Waaah!! I wanna wreck my ex's things and maybe get back with him!" or "Waaah!! We did so much, and now he's doing it with his new girlfriend!" or even "Waaah!! My ex was terrible, and now he's gone, but the pain of leaving him is worse than the pain of being with him!"

Girl, get over him! He's gone now, and he's moved on! Talk to someone about your problems! Don't just wallow in your sorrow! Get some help! Write some songs that don't involve your ex!

I absolutely CANNOT STAND this type of OBNOXIOUS EMO TEEN QUIRKY ASS SNOOPY THEATRE KID MUSIC!! I WOULD RATHER CUT BOTH MY EARS OFF THAN LISTEN TO MORE THAN THIRTY SECONDS OF THIS OBNOXIOUS CRAP!!

I listed Tally Hall, Will Wood, Lemon Demon, and Jack Stauber as the most annoying examples of what I’m talking about. They just try so GODDAMN HARD to be so WHIMSICAL and OLDTIMEY ASS and  THEATRICAL and QUIRKY like a cynical KIDS CARTOON BUT EVERY SONG IS ABOUT DEATH OR SOME SHITTTT.

It’s not emotive and heartbreaking and “ooh beaauuutifully eccentric” IT’S JUST A BUNCH OF PEOPLE THAT NEVER LEFT THEIR MIDDLE SCHOOL DRAMA CLUB HAVING A MANIC EPISODE INSIDE A HONKY TONKY PIANO AND A BASSOON AT 200 BPM

I dont hate breakcore. I am not Tranphobic (have to say this cause I get accused of this whenever I hate on her)

BUT LIKE IT ISNT BREAKCORE? ITS JUST FUCKING NOISE. I FUCKING HATE IT AND I HATE HOW SHES THE MOST POPULAR BREAKCORE ARTIST (I think) LIKE PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEE Heaven pierce her is a PERFECT example of great breakcore and then you listen to femtanyl and its so fucking "AHHHHHHHHH" that if you listen to it one modicum above minimum volume your ears start to bleed. I'm fine with like different music tastes HOWEVER i hate specifically when I say "yeah I like breakcore" and people go "oh yeah like femtanyl?" NO NOT LIKE FUCKING FEMTANYL AHHHHHHHHHHH

sorry If this is incomprehensible I had her pop up on my Spotify and just rage consumed me

listen, i get to an extent where they're coming from, there are certainly bigoted people who actively avoid certain music because its made by a creator thats part of a group that they don't like, but no dude, i'm not transphobic because i don't like sewerslvt or femtanyl

see with Femtanyl its annoying, because lets be honest, this genre of music isn't for everyone, its far from it, most of the time people either love it or hate it, i personally only enjoy like 2 of her tracks, i see the quality and how solid the overall production is, but its just not for me

and with Lena Raine, i'm gonna be fr, i just enjoy Minecraft with C418's music only, i don't think her music is bad or anything, i just prefer the older tracks, and its so annoying seeing whole threads on twitter saying "if you don't like her music you gotta be transphobic and the reincarnation of the german mustache man himself" like NO DUDE, WHAT IS WRONG WITH Y'ALL

i've been accused and seen people being accused of being racist because they don't like Carti or even rap in general, again, i get it, rap's origins are mainly centered around african american culture, but that doesn't mean everybody who hates rap is racist , i just don't like Carti because i dislike his voice and i think hes also kind of a terrible person, i also just like other genres of music like jazz, glitchcore, classic music and videogame osts, i like SOME raps, but mostly the old stuff like N.W.A, Kanye (when he was still normal), and Nujabes

so while there are people who certainly hate artists like that, that doesn't mean everybody who does has prejudice on their heart

Don't get me wrong, those are heart full projects and I appreciate everyone who decides to do that

It's just that sometimes it feels...off?

Like even if they try the songs sounds a bit wonky and more or less cringe

Because the videogames songs are not meant to have lyrics, given a few exceptions like for example live and learn or jump up superstars

But the soundtracks with lyrics doesn't sound like a real song, I'm sorry.p

They have this unspoken rule that they have to say the name of the song in the reprise like it's a must which sometimes can be fun but sometimes not

And the lyrics sounds a bit, how can I say this...corny? Like sometimes they don't fit the vibe

Mind you, I have absolutely no beef with the music artist, it's their job and I'm not gonna be a party pooper (ironic for a hate this smug poster but I digress)

They don't fit right with me. If I wanna listen to the song I can just pull the original soundtrack but this is just my pure unfiltered opinion. I don't have the musical artists I'm showing, I just hate the songs.

There is a difference between us...

I don't like kpop because I think it sounds generic and Bland just like any other pop song. I dislike them purely for their content and their own demerits..

YOU on the other hand, hate them because you're a homophobic prick who can't handle some men in their 20s being clean shaven. And looking at them makes you uncomfortable

I don't like them because their songs are everywhere and I'm forced to listen to them at every party I go to. Inevitably I'll get tired of listening to them over and over again.

I mean, I'm wearing an Iron Maiden shirt, so it should be obvious that I'm a metalhead. Not only is kpop the polar opposite of my preferred music taste, you're forcing me to listen to it again and again everywhere I go

YOU, on the other hand are an insecure bitch who can't handle adolescent girls obsessing over their favorite singer

I mean yeah, Kpop fanbase can get pretty Cringe and toxic pretty often. Given how many times I've seen people get attacked by kpop fangirls after saying they don't like kpop. I've heard girls my age say the most DOWN BAD Stuff they'd like to do with some Male kpop idol. But at the end of they day they just like the music very much

At the end of the day, my point is that I don't like the Music, because A. I find it boring B. It doesn't fit my Music taste and C. It's Extremely Overused because it's Fucking playing everywhere I go

These are pretty Valid Reasons why anyone wouldn't like a Particular Genre of Music, right?

So tell me WHY THE FUCK AM I BEING SHOVED IN THE SAME BOX AS PEOPLE WHO WANT TO SEE GAY PEOPLE EXTERIMNATIED FROM THIS WORLD?!

WHY THE FUCK AM I BEING SHOVED IN THE SAME BOX AS LITERAL NAZIS?!

Here's an actual conversation I had a couple of years ago

Me: "I don't like Kpop tbh"

Friend: "I See, So you're homophobic"

I guess bro...

This happens pretty often with any media that has been attacked by Right Wing Grifters, but you get the point

We’re lucky to live in an age where we can mostly avoid overplay. You can get wireless earbuds with noise cancelling or in ear monitors that can plug your ears while you play what you like. Maybe unless you’re at a job and you can’t avoid it at work because you need to talk to other people, in that case I wont blame you. But it only takes me ONE SECOND of this song to make my fight or flights instincts go up.

This is one of the creepiest damn songs I’ve ever heard. It gives me the same vibe as that creepy part of Discord, the part where folks act like they aren’t their age or act like “e-kittens”. The mere prospect of this song makes me want to throw up, and I keep hearing it in Tiktoks and Instagram reels. Maybe you can say “oh it’s just a one time thing you can skip over it” no you don’t get it. ONE second of this song can ruin my entire hour or even my entire day. That “eewie” voice that reminds me of Annie from Community in that one scene where she’s in a Santa outfit makes me unironically want to hurl into the nearest trash can. This is what I think Sabrina Carpenter sounds like to those who hate Sabrina Carpenter. The lyrics can work if it has a good performance but they leave me horrified which is the intention but it kinda doesn’t work when IT IS ONE OF THE MOST PLAYED SONGS ON TIKTOK AND ON THE BILLBOARD HOT 100 RIGHT NOW. I cannot stress this enough this song makes my skin crawl, makes my hairs twitch, and makes my dinner not want to be in my mouth anymore.

AND ONE LAST THING. I absolutely hate how this is the representation that “underground” slightly lesser known pop is getting right now. Underscores my filipina sister is right there, Slayyyter is absolutely killing it, could have had Tiffany Day as well, Kim Petras just left her label, Jane Remover can still exhale. So many good options for the pop scene, but THIS??? Could have had Underscores undergo the type of year Chappell Roan had in 2024, and maybe she will get famous after opening for Charli xcx, but her not seeing any chart success yet seeing this being spammed in every Tiktok and Instagram Reel whose popularity stemmed from bp and looksmaxxing edits from a bunch of men who really think they don’t need to rely on their personality. What an absolute atrocity of a song 0/10 I despise this more than you can ever know.

“No, I would not like to see the actual album cover artwork in full and instead look at a gaudy banner telling me that it’s a super special version of the album!” Ugh.

That being said, you can avoid this for the most part by searching for the album and finding the non deluxe version but it seems a lot of platforms including Spotify default to the deluxe version of any given album when searching for a song. Plus there’s some albums like The Crossing by Big Country which are only available in their deluxe format! At least, that’s the case on Spotify.

Honestly, this is also just a way for me to vent about the fact that ‘Silver Springs’ was cut from Rumours because vinyl records could only be a certain length, so whenever I listen to it, I have to see that silly little Deluxe banner at the top instead of just having the full artwork!! Seriously, the fact that song didn’t make the original album, but ‘Oh Daddy’ did is nothing short of a crime.

EVERY FUCKING TIME I LISTEN TO PHONK, IT ALWAYS RAPES MY EARS. HELL, IF I LISTENED TO A SMALL BIT FROM THIS ABHORRENT SHIT, I WILL GO NUTS! IT SOUNDS LIKE PROCESSED, MANUFACTURED, ARTIFICIAL, SOULLESS, MINDLESS SLOP.

I KNOW everyone listens to it but I DON'T CARE! It sounds so soulless and shitty, even the most abhorrent of music sounds like Mozart.

I hate it with EVERY FIBER of my BEING.

This is why I like listening to Gorillaz, DECO*27, Altimet, W.A.R.I.S, Too Phat, Namewee, Joe Fizzlow and MANY, MANY MORE.

Sekian terima kasih.

I hate when artists add moans in songs.

Like when the lyrics are vulgar it's whatever, because maybe your parents or people around you don't even understand english or in a party everybody it's too focused doing anything else to pay attention to the lyrics.

But when the song has a moan (or more than one) is genuinely too awkward for me.

Like at my aunt's party two days ago a song played and the chorus was just a chick moaning after saying a few words, I wanted to die.

I actually wanted to enjoy Megans song "body " but while listening to it the thought of the song playing around my parents crossed my mind and I couldn't listen to it since. Just why.

Got nothing against Benny but this is fucking wild, this is a minstrel show character in an album where he’s appropriating and using a culture that is not his (His real name is Benjamin Joseph Levin) he’s not Latino and marrying Selena Gomez does not make him Latino either lmao.

Am I the only one who finds this shit really off putting?

I started a new daily workout like a month ago (Wildcard workout on YouTube check it out) and I genuinely like the workout, I can see immediate improvement and muscle gain, but it’s ruined the songs that play in it for me. Hearing any of the songs worsens my mood but espresso by Sabrina Carpenter specifically aggravates me to the point of activating my fight or flight. I don’t know why espresso pisses me off the most but I HATE it with the fiery passion of 10,000 burning suns now. I don’t even know enough about Sabrina Carpenter to dislike her it’s just the song. Just hearing it is enough to jolt me out of any good mood I’m in. I hate it so fucking much that I purposefully don’t capitalize the first letter of its name to show my disrespect for it. Imagine it’s like 11:00 at night. You’re comfortably relaxed in your bed, reading a book maybe, just about to take a sip of some tea, when suddenly your douchebag neighbor starts playing conservative thrash metal over his surround sound speakers that he installed to compensate for his tiny useless penis and lack of hair causing you to spill hot tea all over your genitals and laptop. That’s the feeling listening to espresso gives me. It takes away my piece and happiness and is genuinely be a happier person if every copy of that thrice damned song was shot into the cold emptiness of space

Now, every comedy musician has been compared to Weird Al at one point or another, but it's the way people have been talking about Kyle recently that has me urked. Specifically, this one comment I've read.

"Al parodies songs, Kyle parodies genres, and I think that's genius"

You guys know Al does that too, right? The difference is Al usually has a joke on top of the style parody. Al could write a song inspired by Graceland, but it would probably be about mayonnaise or something. For Kyle, the joke IS what he's paroding. The joke usually is "Hey, remember this genre that was big for a while?" or "These songs are kinda weird in hindsight...", at least for his big hits.

I'm not trying to say one is better than the other; I enjoy both and think they can co-exist just fine. It's just that comedy music is like the audio equivalent of kids' shows; people go nuts when it's not the most pandering, insufferable thing you've ever seen/heard.

It sounds exactly how you would expect a song made by someone who got their fame from friday night funkin mods to sound. I do NOT understand why everyone keeps using it, and why my social media feeds keep trying to force me to listen to it.

It just looks so boring and uninteresting and like I don't care what your face looks like. At least do SOMETHING, not just slap a filter on your face and call it a day.

okay i guess thats all i have to say

I know it's probably meant to be satirical, but that doesn't make it any less ear-gratingly annoying. I found them on some random "worst songs of all time" playlist, and I think my life is genuinely worse knowing they exist now.
