2. Lil Wayne's guitar skills
We applaud Lil Wayne for doing whatever he wants, but his attempts at guitar are just embarrassing. Stick to singing skateboarding making clothes rapping, Wayne.
3. Chris Brown
People make mistakes. Some of the best musicians in the history of music did terrible things and we can still listen to their music because being a good or likable person has little to do with the ability to make good music. Sometimes, we want to separate Chris Brown's personal life from his music. But then he opens his mouth.
4. When Cher dresses like this
5. The fact that "What Does The Fox Say?" has over 126 million views
I get that this is viral because it's funny/bad/WTF. But the fact that a viral joke like this (which gets old after one listen) gets more views than most respectable musicians could ever dream of is still sad. I'd rather watch Miley twerk for the rest of my life. I hate this world.
6. Madonna trying to stay relevant
Madonna used to be cool and cutting-edge, but nowadays she seems more like an attention-seeking vulture, who swoops down on the rotting carcass of whatever was recently cool, and covers herself in the putrid stench of relevancy thirst. But I need examples, you say. Well, here they are:
1) She recently got a gold grill
2) She called her last album MDNA
3) She came on stage at EDM festival Ultra and asked:Â "How many people in this crowd have seen molly?"
BORED.
7. EDM remixes of every single song ever
Did "Smells Like Teen Spirit" need a painfully formulaic electro-house remix? For a while it was all dubstep remixes of every single song ever made, but now, with the popularity of "EDM" of all shapes and sizes, you can find trancey synth builds and 4x4 beats ruining innumerable songs, old and new.
8. The song Chad Kroeger and Avril Lavigne made together
Hearing Miley spit out rap clichés on a French Montana song is so bad. But Avril Lavigne and her husband Chad Kroeger together on a song? Maybe the worst. Sometimes when their voices swirl around in the soulless backing music it actually sounds like the music played in Hell.
9. Paris Hilton signing to Cash Money and trying to be a DJ
Anything Paris Hilton does related to music is horrible. Horrible, terrible, and awful. From her "singing" career to her attempts to be a DJ, she consistently demonstrates minimal talent, but the lowest point for music fans is probably her signing to Cash Money. This is Cash Money Records, the label that signed Lil Wayne, the label that distributed Hot Boys' records, and now this? This celebrity who's famous for... wait, why is she even famous? The music industry can really be depressing sometimes.
10. Selena Gomez covering Lorde's "Royals"
New Zealand's Lorde is a different kind of pop star, one who is not concerned with pouting and waving her hands in the air, one who has already been making music for years, someone whose music is genuinely interesting and different.
Selena Gomez is the kind of artist that makes us need people like Lorde.
