I think a lot of the problem with pop songs are that they are constantly over played on the radio, so it's the repetitiveness that is a big part of hating a lot of these pop tunes. And yet the very good rock tunes are rarely played on the radio, one of the reasons being that they are longer than two and a half minutes.Senorita by Camilla Cabello and Shawn Mendes
Where Have All the Cowboys Gone--can't convince me that song wasn't made to crack prisoners of war.
Both of them have me channeling Michael Scott
I saw an interesting study about popular music over the last decades analysing its quality in terms of language, repetitiveness etc and it apparently has objectively got more simplistic
I think that I came across somewhere that Pop singer's voice are technologically enhanced to make them sound better.
Sick of the whole family.
This, plus certain songs being on every other reel and tiktok, so annoying!
I remember being on a BLS course at work, and the practice dummy was named Annie.

When it came to my turn, I leant in and said "Annie, are you o.k?".
Looked over at the instructor and uttered "I think she's been hit by a smooth criminal ".
bleeping tumbleweed moment!
You’re obviously listening to the wrong station, I don’t think I have ever heard any of those songs, maybe find a station that plays what you do like

I find a lot of songs hit differently since my son’s suicide.
lots of songs refer to it and I hadn’t even noticed till now .
Alone again naturally by Gilbert o Sullivan is about a man jilted at the altar who jumps to his death ( my son jumped so it’s a bit jarring )
I used to love Peter Gabriel’s bit in the middle of Don’t give up then I was singing along recently and realised what “
Got to walk out of here
I can't take anymore
Gonna stand on that bridge
Keep my eyes down below” was referring to.
Also Jump by van halen I didn’t even know till recently it was inspired by that .

I wanna dance with somebody just came on…..it’s grim
Heard it again yesterday, it was a cover of Lady by Modjo, with the lyrics changed a bit and a whiny/vocal fry type male voice.
and frankly, Lady by Modjo is already one of the most annoying songs - why go and make another version of it? Is there competition?
