What’s your guilty pleasure song?
(lemmy.world)
any scenecore song (i mainly listen to deathcore)
Those that people around me do not approve:
- Die Antwoord - Doosdronk
- Afroman - Randy Walters is a son of a bitch
- A capella science - rolling in the Higgs
- Tom Cardy - Je suis fatigué
- Dale Mehndi - Tunak Tunak Tun
- Keddi Kosár - Mi Vagyunk Magyar Peter (Mulatós version)
Afroman mentioned 👍
Tunak tunak tun will always be a banger
You're Having My Baby by Paul Anka!! One of the worst songs ever recorded. "The seed inside ya, baby, do you feel it growin?" The gold standard for cheesy bullshit. It's so awful that I absolutely adore it.
Gunther: Ding Dong Song.
It hasn't agred well die to the sexualization of women. But that's the guilty part I guess.
To be fair it sexualizes men a whole lot as well.
Tatu, All The Things She Said. Everything awful about Tatu but I can’t help but enjoy that song.
I prefer the Russian version, feels more authentic since they're from there.
What is it that you don’t like about them? Personally I am really enjoying ‘all the things she said’ and ‘all about us’ .
Oh, I think they are awesome - but the abusive faux-lesbian branding makes me feel a bit guilty enjoying it. Personal feelings only, tbh.
I remember when that was a big deal... my read on it was that their producer was trying to market them as "hot underage Russian lesbians" but they themselves just wanted to provide representation through an act that did not reflect their real lives. Good faith on their part, bad faith on management's.
Not that the disgust with them was entirely unjustified. They still misled people.
Yeah, thats my take too. Couple of talented kids trying to make a splash but their management team were horrific.
I have never understood the point of guilty pleasures. Why are you letting other people decide what you like?
It’s not about that. If I can tell something is objectively bad but still enjoy it, I consider it a guilty pleasure, lol.
If something is objectively bad and you enjoy it, isn't that just bad taste?
It’s only bad taste if it dominates your preferences. Otherwise, it’s just guilty pleasures.
I Love You - Billie Eilish. I mainly listen to edm and heavy metal, but sometimes I just wanna chill out and I'm a sucker for a good romance
Leftover Crack's first two albums scratch an itch that nothing else can reach. Unfortunately the frontman is a raging piece of shit.
Most music sung by Japanese idols, because while I'm absolutely infatuated by the music, the knowledge of what kind of horrible working conditions they have to endure is like a splinter in my brain. But if I had to mention just one, why not go back to the good old days. 🥰
WetLeg : Chaise Longue
Love it.
Kim from eminem.
The song is truly fucked up but for some reason I like it a lot
Grimes - Delicate Weapon. It appears in a videogame during a moment that's a complicated stew of themes and emotions including precarity, desperation, but also deep burgeoning artificiality and fakeness. The act of stopping to enjoy the song is entirely optional, you do surrounded by completely insufferable and irredeemable people, by it's still kind of a moment.
It makes me think about how deep down in some kind of (possibly shitty) way we really are the things that we pretend to be. But I also kind of like that.
I'm not sure if it 100% counts, but probably this. It's the kind of religious wish fulfillment I usually can't tolerate, but the rhythm is too good. It's in my playlist, but I absolutely wouldn't listen to it in front of anyone who can understand the lyrics.
Some songs from Burzum like Jesus' Tod go really hard but he is an open racist and neo-nazi :(
It's like when people tell me that Skrewdriver's first album is really good. Like, maybe? But I still can't bring myself to listen to it. Hell, I can't even listen to Pantera these days.
Anything Spice Girls.
im currently being brainrotted to oblivion with viva forever
Follow me from Uncle Kracker. It is sooooo catchy but honestly it’s all about cheating on your partner which I find is something that should not be encouraged. Thus guilty pleasure in my opinion
“Tell Ur Girlfriend” by Lay Bankz is like that too. The lyrics go:
“Should tell my boyfriend what I’ve been doin’ Been thinkin’ of you every time I screw him And if you want me, you gotta put the word in Go tell your girlfriend that I’m your girlfriend”
It is so weird what kind of stuff is inside some songs, that goes totally under the radar.
Lost my virginity to that song.
die young by kesha for sure, I love it its such a mood
I don't believe in guilty pleasures because I don't feel guilty about listening to weird niche music that everyone around me thinks is beneath them.
That being said, I understand the concept and can apply it to my music library. So here's a big one.
22/7 - Hyacinth Apple Music | YouTube
I'm linking the Apple Music version not just because I think they deserve to get paid more for your stream, but in case you're a subscriber, you have Dolby Atmos turned on, and you have compatible earbuds, because the song is fucking magical in spatial audio. It's like feeding candy to your ears. The best spatial audio mastering I've heard is Tom Sawyer by RUSH. This is second best. The song feels like a tech demo for spatial audio.
For context, 22/7 (which is another way to say Pi, mathematically, and read as "twenty-two per seven") is a cartoon band, similar to HUNTR/X from Kpop Demon Hunters, except, after the anime series about them... they just continued making music. Hyacinth isn't from their anime. They even make music for other anime now. So they're a real band. Anywhere between 8 and 12 Japanese girls singing in unison in groups. For JPop/idol music, it's pretty good. You don't need to know their anime to listen to them. It was a fantasy series about a mysterious wall that would spit out engraved metal chips with instructions. No one knew who was writing the commands, but people started following it, and it told them to build an idol group and when and where to have them play. They become an overnight sensation. Eventually the wall tells them they have to disband, and after being forced to do so, they seek out who's behind the wall. It's... not very good, as far as anime goes, but the music is on point and I think it's worth watching, if you like music anime.
Cardi B - WAP.
