Katseye just dropped their new song Pinky Up. I know it’s a bit brainrot and way too short, but I’ve had it on repeat. There’s something so cunty, girly-girl about the vibe, I’m a total sucker for songs like that.
i was sitting trying to think of something, first that came to mind is the black parade (the whole album) by mcr but it’s not really guilty, it’s really good. then came Radiohead who I got into right before thoms really bad Israel stance, which made it much more guilty… THEN I remembered it’s Kanye. 1000% Kanye. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is one of my fav albums of all time, and it’s extremely unfortunate. i used to argue that Kanye had a point with every fucked up thing he said and that he just articulated it extremely poorly up until the maga and Nazi shit. now it just makes me sad that he makes really good music.
Tatu, All The Things She Said. Everything awful about Tatu but I can’t help but enjoy that song.
I prefer the Russian version, feels more authentic since they’re from there.
I do enjoy their Russian versions of releases more. Especially this one. :) It is fun hearing even slight musical differences in the songs. And I like how they are vocally more comfortable in native language too.
What is it that you don’t like about them? Personally I am really enjoying ‘all the things she said’ and ‘all about us’ .
Oh, I think they are awesome - but the abusive faux-lesbian branding makes me feel a bit guilty enjoying it. Personal feelings only, tbh.
I remember when that was a big deal… my read on it was that their producer was trying to market them as “hot underage Russian lesbians” but they themselves just wanted to provide representation through an act that did not reflect their real lives. Good faith on their part, bad faith on management’s.
Not that the disgust with them was entirely unjustified. They still misled people.
Yeah, thats my take too. Couple of talented kids trying to make a splash but their management team were horrific.
Gunther: Ding Dong Song.
It hasn’t agred well die to the sexualization of women. But that’s the guilty part I guess.
To be fair it sexualizes men a whole lot as well.
I have never understood the point of guilty pleasures. Why are you letting other people decide what you like?
It’s not about that. If I can tell something is objectively bad but still enjoy it, I consider it a guilty pleasure, lol.
If something is objectively bad and you enjoy it, isn’t that just bad taste?
It’s only bad taste if it dominates your preferences. Otherwise, it’s just guilty pleasures.
Hey, don’t knock bad taste
I was about to say that I dont have one because I love all the music I listen to and im not ashamed of any of it. Then I remembered 2018 where I listened to KDA PopStars so many times on repeat that it still sits at the top of my music mogging the music I actually like.
Those that people around me do not approve:
- Die Antwoord - Doosdronk
- Afroman - Randy Walters is a son of a bitch
- A capella science - rolling in the Higgs
- Tom Cardy - Je suis fatigué
- Dale Mehndi - Tunak Tunak Tun
- Keddi Kosár - Mi Vagyunk Magyar Peter (Mulatós version)
Tunak tunak tun will always be a banger
Tom Cardy - Repress it!
Afroman mentioned 👍
Have to add another that qualifies way more, since it came up on my playlist on the way home from work.
At the time, I was into the Rockband games, and when this song came out, I flat-out refused to sing it. I felt like I was being punked. My wife sang it instead, the song was awesome, and I went from “I would never” to “I will sing it” to “I will be the first one to pick it every time.” IIRC it’s fairly easy for all instruments, so it’s fine to pick early before the band is properly warmed up. Like you never start with Metallica, Dream Theater, Iron Maiden, or certain other ones, unless you wanna be in a fight with your drummer and/or guitarist. Or they’re gonna turn around and pick Spoonman, by Soundgarden, which is hell on vocals. In other words, you’re in a fight.
Years later, I discovered the music video, which is 100% on point. It’s a stupid/silly song and the video pulls no punches. TL;DW, the band members are all dressed up like Abraham Lincoln and… well… nah, just watch it. It might make some RWNJs think twice about saying they’re “the party of Lincoln”. Because apparently… Lincoln knew how to party?
Lincoln is my favourite gay pro wrestler
Anything Spice Girls.
im currently being brainrotted to oblivion with viva forever
Grimes - Delicate Weapon. It appears in a videogame during a moment that’s a complicated stew of themes and emotions including precarity, desperation, but also deep burgeoning artificiality and fakeness. The act of stopping to enjoy the song is entirely optional, you do surrounded by completely insufferable and irredeemable people, by it’s still kind of a moment.
It makes me think about how deep down in some kind of (possibly shitty) way we really are the things that we pretend to be. But I also kind of like that.
This is exponentially more thought than anyone has ever put into a Grimes song
Probably. It definitely wouldn’t have had all that going on if not for the video game. I looked up the music video and it’s just Grimes (I presume) trying on different outfits and smoldering at the camera
die young by kesha for sure, I love it its such a mood
Leftover Crack’s first two albums scratch an itch that nothing else can reach. Unfortunately the frontman is a raging piece of shit.
LC never quite scratched that itch for me but Choking Victim is absolutely a guilty pleasure I haven’t abandoned despite Scott’s bs.
We Built this City - by Starship
It is the greatest song ever produced. It even has a fake backstory, and is somehow about every city. Chef’s kiss on that one.
Follow me from Uncle Kracker. It is sooooo catchy but honestly it’s all about cheating on your partner which I find is something that should not be encouraged. Thus guilty pleasure in my opinion
“Tell Ur Girlfriend” by Lay Bankz is like that too. The lyrics go:
“Should tell my boyfriend what I’ve been doin’ Been thinkin’ of you every time I screw him And if you want me, you gotta put the word in Go tell your girlfriend that I’m your girlfriend”
It is so weird what kind of stuff is inside some songs, that goes totally under the radar.
Lost my virginity to that song.
WetLeg : Chaise Longue
Love it.
