in this period i was obsessed with animal collective and also with finding weird lo fi obscurities via music blogs. i used to be sort of embarrassed by this period but now i know i was right and animal collective were great, if also extremely annoying sometimes
always fascinated by the idea of hipsters. i was there and they weren’t stomp clap hey guys. the lumberjack thing has some truth to it but it wasn’t a huge deal. nobody thought they were being unique or different. nobody self identified as a hipster. crucially, most were nerds
best song is tough because i like more songs than i dislike. but this weird, seasick masterpiece has always been near the top of the pile for me https://t.co/dXJ65COId6
thinking about it, i don’t think you can have a worst song ever. if a song is unimaginative one it’ll still be pleasant enough to listen to. if it’s abrasive or discordant it’ll likely be interesting or have some catharsis to it. if it’s annoying it’s probably catchy and crafted
@Josherick3 yes i think this is a good criteria. by that metric i am all about naming songs like living on a prayer and eye of the tiger, where they serve as kind of empty signifiers. but i actually can’t think of many songs that are just bad songs
this video is only really played for mockery purposes but i genuinely really like the wee “never mind” song he does at the start of it. i think it’s kind of good https://t.co/B5U7812h14
this is actually true. i think i would have an amazing time on the dance floor with all my friends and family while new zealand rock band atlas’s unbelievably unpleasant single crawl plays
i can think of a context in which i would enjoy almost every song you guys have called the worst. struggling to think of a song so bad that i wouldn’t still cut up the dance floor to it surrounded by loved ones. sorry for party rocking
looked up an author i know’s book on goodreads and one is the reviews just said “THE SCREAM I JUST SCRUMPT” and is got so upset i had to take a walk around the block to calm down
the worst song is probably something made by an earnest teenager that nobody will never hear. the most unpleasant song on earth is crawl by 2000s nz rock band atlas
the ncea chat in new zealand makes me oddly nostalgic for high school … awful, nightmarish boys’ school with the worst culture of anywhere i’ve ever been … failing every class except english and art history … stealing daffodils from the lawn to decorate my friend’s car
