Worst Songs of the 2010's

I have more terrible songs to list from the 2010s...


Bleaugh. It's musically all over the place and suffers pretty badly lyrically, too.


This may as well be the full embodiment of things I can't stand in music.


I think this is actually worse than "Black Widow."


For random comparison, this has a higher average rating on Rate Your Music than S Club 7's "Have You Ever." The fact that innocent, colourful pop can be anywhere close in approval to something like this, let alone doing worse, is proof to me that I should really take Rate Your Music way less seriously than I do.


Incompetent garbage. Thankfully, this does rate abysmally on RYM.


Eeeuygh!!! That drop. This production is so wretched it actually makes the majority of modern trap songs sound as good as new jack swing.


In my opinion, this is probably the most reprehensible white guy with acoustic guitar song ever recorded. It's boring, has a forcefully "hip" vocal performance, and is far too vapid lyrically to back up its meager musical qualities.


The production for this is like the dancehall equivalent of Katy Perry's "Bon Appétit." That repetitive, blaring synth wears thin within a matter of seconds.


I really get the impression that this is the type of mindset that today's generation believes is the only legitimate manner of thinking – cold, humorless, cynical, and royally pissed. If you aren't pissed off about anything and everything about other people, you're ignorant and shallow. I'll give Rihanna herself the benefit of the doubt due to the trauma she's suffered through in her life, but that doesn't make this particular song any more listenable to me.


Why in the world is this currently one of the biggest hits on the charts right now? I would literally prefer to listen to "(I Know I Got) Skillz" and "I'm Outstanding" a million times before spinning this dreck.


Aaaarrgh. Somebody please make this trap fad come to an end. This bullcrap cannot leave the airwaves soon enough. Douchey lyrics and a surprisingly obnoxious hangup sound effect make this an utter disgrace to music. At this rate, I'm worried 2018 will be the very worst year of the decade for music, certainly if songs like this only become more common and real musicians like Camila Cabello fall off the map.

I hate so many songs from this decade, that I feel I need to rerank my least favourite songs of the 2010s. Here goes...

This song is pretty bad. I think it's really distasteful, especially with how the "n" word is repeated throughout the entire song.

The US and UK should be thankful that this crappy song never charted in their countries back in 2014. It's just awful. People at my high school used to play this song to death and so did the radio. It actually topped the charts in New Zealand, while it peaked at #3 here in Australia.


I agree. The sad thing is, people continue to download/stream those songs, even though they aren't any good IMO.

Closer
All About That Bass
Wiggle
Blurred Lines
Anaconda
Treat You Better
Gucci Gang (low hanging fruit, but as far as trap songs go this one is unnormally obnoxious for such a short song) 
Sexy and I Know It
Animals

Gosh never bring 2014 back please

I agree, I don't understand the appeal in Israel's song entry at all. The chicken sounds ruined any legitimacy the song had, in my opinion. I personally thought Australia was ripped off at this year's Eurovision contest. We were predicted to finish 9th in the competition, but we ended up finishing 20th overall. "We Got Love" was much better than Israel's entry, in any case. 

This song by American indie-pop band, AJR. It is infamously known for it's sampling of Spongebob Squarepants. The beat drop isn't too bad and the chorus itself is one of the few redeeming factors of the song, but the repetitive "i'm ready" sampling makes it a near impossible task to listen to the song in it's entirety. It's incredibly irritating. "I'm Ready" was only a hit in Australia, having peaked at #5 and staying on the charts for 15 weeks back in 2014. It did also manage to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, however it only reached a peak of #63. The rest of the world certainly dodged a bullet with this song!

This is so cheap and tacky. I heard it on Triple M (a Sydney rock station) as I was driving home earlier today. Thankfully this hasn't entered onto the charts, although given the fact that it is now receiving airplay by a mainstream rock station and it has over 2 million views on YouTube, I hope it doesn't achieve more success. It's awful.
