Here's a Wired article on a song that was systematically designed to be unpleasant to as many people as possible. It's quite awful, but it's hilarious. It's a good 22 minutes, however, so it takes some dedication. It's on my iPod, so whenever a group of friends play the "put your iPod on shuffle and you may not skip any songs" game that song is like a land mine.

I'll post later when I can remember some.

Sleet wrote:Aww, and here I thought we were so similar with everything!

Beastie Boys and Rage Against the Machine are understandable because their styles are so extreme, but I always figured that Nirvana was broad enough that it'd be hard to hate everything they've made (not just not liking, but hating).

Sleet wrote:At least as far as the US radio scene goes, there's not much generic about "Fireflies." Not to say that it's good; the synthesizers are pleasant for a few seconds and then you realize that's all there is and quickly get bored.

Senator_Sunburst wrote:I don't listen to the radio so I wouldn't know. I DO listen to a very large selection of genres and am at least moderately versed in European electronica, and I don't see anything really noteworthy to say in favour of Fireflies. Also, autotuned vocals get boring real quick.

Sleet wrote:The only cutesy electronic love song with a robot voice you need. Owl City can't compare.

Sleet wrote:If that's the case, then you should be glad that the genre is getting some exposure over here, even if the genre has significantly better to offer. I'm not familiar with the genre, so I believe you that it's generic in that sense, but there's nothing like it on the mainstream radio. So while I'm not a fan of the song specifically, I do like it when a song that's different from the usual tripe gets big. And then maybe every several years a song I actually like makes it big. I'm still waiting for another Viva La Vida.
