    In the Air Tonight by Phil Collins. Yeah it’s meant to be emotional, and I’m sure it was groundbreaking in the early 80’s, but damn. It just does not hold up. Plenty of things from that time still hold up, and maybe I’m a philistine that isn’t receptive to this particular “slow burn” but fuck me I’d rather listen to Barney the Dinosaur in Guantanamo

    This is quite niche, but the jingle they used to play in a local drugstore called Daikoku Drug in Japan. I think they hired a local amateur idol group and they couldn’t sing for shit.

    I don’t know if they have names or what they are but all of those mumble rap songs that are musically uninspired and lyrically unintelligible.

    I didn’t like AJR to begin with and then my sisters played their songs for months on end so now they’re permanently on my shit list.

    There are some modern songs that do an effect that hurts my ears. I have no idea what any of the songs are called (I avoid them whenever I hear them), but for some reason it’s become a thing for some pop/dance music to use a wonky rhythm that feels like being in a car with only the back windows open. The pressure is like waves that push and give way, over and over again, assaulting my ear drums.

    Anyone know what I’m talking about? I would provide an example if I knew a concrete one to offer. It’s so unpleasant, I don’t understand how anyone can listen to such songs and enjoy them.
