Top 10 Worst Hit Songs of 2022

     So if you can't tell this was written back in 2022. I'm posting this up for completion purposes. But, I will make the best list as well and that will be more up to date with my opinion now because wow 2022 was a weird year for the chart. Okay back to the list proper    You know, I thought because of the vaccines and opening up again that 2022 would be a better year than the two years before it. Turns out I was wrong because 2022 has been a mess all across the board. And we don't have great music to escape to in this dark time. One word that I would describe 2022 for popular music is either mediocrity or longing. Mediocrity because how most of these songs are either meh or just below par, longing because of how most of the popular hits this year are throwback. I was actually struggle to put ten songs that I hated purely because the bad songs here are either too dull to talk about or just straight up missed the Hot 100 year end list.

Asteroid in Love and The Subtle Queer Media

 We are currently in 2026 and it has never been a great time for people who loves queer media.

And that's exactly how queer media especially in Asia has seen a bit of a golden age.

While they're sometimes still seen as comedic relief, their stories really humanized them and they became favorites amongst anime fans. And then there's the curious case of GL and Yuri. As someone who have followed this genre before I came out as trans, GL and yuri has never been as popular as this decade. I was into this genre when the biggest GL that we had was Utena and Sakura Tric...

Top 10 Worst Hit Songs of 2001

     Talking about something in hindsight can be very difficult. One of the reasons is that you are talking about stuff that are set in stone and you have to add the context about why that stuff existed in the first place. If you also trying to criticize that old stuff, you run into another beast altogether. Now you have to try and talk shit about stuff that has been calcified to the culture as a whole not just objective facts. That's why a lot of people love the idea of the "worst music ever" lists because it's a permission structure for people to mock older songs. When you stray from that canon and create your own path, that's when it gets interesting. And nothing will be straying from the canon than making your own worst list.     2001 was definitely a transitional year for pop music. The leftover from the Y2K era are starting to get grating, Nu-Metal was on the brink of implosion, rock are turning inwards as post grunge and pop punk are fighting for dominant...
