GTFO rolling worst music of 2014

She is awful all round. Ed Sheeran protege who covered Don't Stop for a John Lewis ad.

I admire her devotion to bringing back chokers.

I feel like someone re/makes this song about every six weeks now.

Yeah, that might have been an interesting track if it hadn't been done dozens of times the last couple years.

oh god that is really bad

the line about "desperation" leaps out of the video and side-eyes the whole song surrounding it and reads it to filth

the real desperation is the music industry desperately trying to comment upon the triumph of social media, as if it were still some kind of older/wiser/truer aesthetically rocksolid platform in some kind of secure position to judge this new upstart- but when it comes up with garbage like this it only reifies its own insecurity and looks even more "tryhard"

music industry, you lookin thirsty

yeah the weird removal really is palpable ain't it
like there should be one about twerking
wait

And speaking of twerking...

is billy ray cyrus one of those hollywood parents that lives vicariously through, or rides the coattails of, his daughter's career? this video (which generally seems kinda desperate) playing-up the "twerking" thing is creepy.

Dude's not getting any Miley money anymore, so he had to reboot Achy Breaky.

lol. seriously, that's just sad.

"Buck 22 may not be a household name, but he comes from an impressive musical pedigree. The son of jazz drummer Bill Elliott and veteran pop/R&B singer Dionne Warwick..."

They must be so proud.

I would pay up to like, $10 for a video reaction of Miley watching this video for the first time.

haha.

she should record a response song. twerky jerky heart.

every single second of that is uncomfortable

IceJJFish!

The new track is next level.

what the bowlegged fuck @ timber timbre and i would like that one guy to try not being so hardcore for a while

also yeah, that billy ray cyrus video just made me feel super bad for everyone involved, including me

so thread delivers

who's bankrolling icejjfish? is he doing these with cash from his own itunes sales?

omg the Buck 22 video

I think I feel the worst for Beat Freaks; I mean THIS is the door that America's Best Dance Crew opened for you?

is there a name for that stupid adverty plinky-plonky + steady drum sound on the Nina Nesbitt one? bc it must be stopped

Is that SLO THRUST or SLOTH RUST?

Don't rob them of their ambiguous name. That's all they've got going for them.

There was a sloth in the video so I'm going with the latter.

The world clearly needs another 4 Non Blondes.

Thanks for posting that BRC video, I had heard country-rap was taking over rural bars here in the south but hadn't the privilege of hearing it first-hand. Pretty much as bad as you'd expect it to be.

God I love this thread.

Billy Rae can't be making money from that, can he? It's got "vanity project" written all over it.

Slothrust had me at "flavor packet"

which Pixies songs are they plagiarizing at the end?

i guess 90s grunge revival is a thing now, eh?

billy ray looks like some kinda biker version of barry gibb nowadays

not a bad look, actually, especially for his being 93 years old.

resolved: "the chainsmokers" and "#selfie" are outstanding names for a band and song, respectively, in 2014.

man annoying-"young"-deadpan-people-monologuing-over-dance-music is an established art form, ppl think they can just halfass it

Selfie is actually somewhat close to being a decent track... unfortunately the entire selfie hook/conceit has nothing to do with the content of the rest of the song.

no, but you could look at the rest of the song and the title as a commentary on self-absorbed youth culture in the social media age.

i cannot believe i just wrote that.

oh really?

i never thought about that

gee whiz

groundbreaking analysis please expound

and other sarcastic remarks

well, you see, today's throwaway culture detracts from the kind of deep social meaning that our forefathers were more regularly concerned with and th . . . zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

i think you're really hitting on something here

i think so, too. i'm converting it into a doctoral thesis.

Didn't get far enough into the song for it to explain how we all are gay.

On behalf of all people of every imaginable orientation I say "take this shit and shove it back up your ass, A Great Big World."

oh wow i didn't realize that they were even more awful than i could have imagined

Potentially counterproductively awful.
