Songs You Pretend To Hate – Issue 17
It should come as absolutely no surprise that I can’t stand the snobbery surrounding music. Genre preferences are one thing but jumping on the anti-Nickelback bandwagon because you don’t have enough of a backbone to admit ‘This Is How You Remind Me’ fucking slapped in 2001 AND was nominated for a fuckng GRAMMY to prove it? Weak. Anyway, here’s Wonderwall.
- Rockstar – Nickelback
I’ll have the quesadilla. Haha.
- I Will Wait – Mumford & Sons
In 2010 their neo-folk debut was all any indie music fan listened to. Come 2015 and their popularity rose with their hatred among their original fanbase. Don’t rewrite history just because it became mainstream.
- Time of Our Lives – Pitbull, Ne-Yo
This is for everyone in the world going through a tough time, believe me, been there done that, but everyday above ground is a great day, remember that. Thank you, Mr. Worldwide.
- You Make My Dreams (Come True) – Hall & Oates
The only time anyone would turn off a Hall & Oates song is if other people were around.
- I Want To Hold Your Hand – The Beatles
Adults who say they don’t like The Beatles are like people who claim to have trypophobia or synesthesia – they’re doing it for attention. Enjoy being wrong.
- Night Fever – Bee Gees
It’s impossible not to get down to some disco.
- Story of My Life – One Direction
King Harry Styles said it best when he said, “who’s to say that young girls who like pop music — short for popular, right? — have worse musical taste than a 30-year-old hipster guy”.
- Roses – The Chainsmokers, ROZES
Ok, The Chainsmokers do suck, but tell me this song doesn’t transport you right back to 2015.
- Bound 2 – Kanye West
As a big fan of Kanye’s music, let me just say, fuck Kanye.
- Solar Power – Lorde
This goes out to the Nexus office – as much as this sounds like a Venus razor commercial, don’t pretend like you’re not hate fucking it when you’re home alone.
