I’ll begin with “Thunder” by Imagine Dragons. Don’t know how or why this song is so successful.

  1. Body ody ody ody ody ody…

    (Megan’s producer: How many times are you going to say “body” in this song?”

    Megan: “Yes.”)

  2. Old town road maybe? Anything I’ve heard by post malone, drake, that bellend with the multicoloured hair who got arrested for whatever or most of what seems to have been in the charts for the last ten years.

    There is an unbelievable amount of wank out these days.

  4. “We found love” by Rhianna.

    Basic-ass notes at the beginning like someone pounding on an electronic keyboard for the first time while the repetitive-as-fuck “song” sounds more like something a tone deaf 7th grader started screaming in the shower. Awful.

  7. Any song where the only words…. Are the title to the song.. just one sentence for 2-3 minutes.

    Edit: you guys are right should not have said any lol most*

  11. I mean pretty much anything mumble rap seems a little low effort to me,

  13. All Summer Long by Kid Rock. Its melody is a direct rip from Sweet Home Alabama (already a lazy song) and even says Sweet Home Alabama in the chorus.

    And coming from someone who was I believe double platinum with Devil Without A Cause, if not it was platinum, that’s sad.

  15. I’ll do ya one better, OP. Every imagine dragons song I have ever heard.

  16. Oh No by Capone. I only say it because it was a viral meme song a year or two ago and you heard it EVERYWHERE for a couple of months.

    From only hearing the meme, you’d think there was more to the song and that was just a clip. No. The song just does the same thing for about 3 minutes.

  17. fucking despacito.

    first time i heard it i legit thought it was meant to be a parody of all the most overdone tropes in latino music.

  18. Gonna speak some blasphemy because it’s one of my favorite songs of all-time, but the lyrics to Killing in the Name of by RATM is like 8 unique lines repeated over and over.

  19. Baby by justin bieber i dont think i have ever heard a singular word spammed so hard.

  20. Feliz Navidad, I have a strong dislike for most Xmas music anyway but this one in particular makes my blood boil.

  22. I can be your woman

    woman

    woman

    woman

    I prefer my kids remix — “I can be your roomba, roomba, roomba, roomba”

  23. Almost Anything you’d hear from major pop artists or on major radio stations. I am not one of those people who thinks music is bad now, because that’s just not true, but if you don’t seek out good music you’re gonna be left with some awfully lazy, same chord progressions using pop.

  33. Shape of You by Ed Sheeran is probably the most sterile and creativity bankrupt piece of music I’ve heard. It feels autogenerated, or even like a fake pop song for a movie that’s meant to satirize pop music.

  35. That one song on TikTok that went “I’m mad at Disney, Disney, cause they tricked me, tricked me.” I DESPISE that song

  36. The peaches song. Guy sings the same damn line throughout. I hate that song.

  37. the current Foo Fighters song that’s getting played on rock radio shits me

    Just Waiting on a War

    1 and a half verses and an extremely tedious chorus stretched out for 5 minutes. Grohl wrote a quarter of a song and shipped it as a single. 2/10.

  42. This entire thread is dorky Redditors confusing the term lazy and low effort with “popular songs I dislike, also did you guys know I hate pop and rap?”
