Sweater weather. I already didn't like the downtempo vibe, but it got painfully overplayed back in the day. Unfortunately, I still hear it occasionally. Anything but that, please.
Skibidi toilet, I hate it with a passion.
Happy birthday, there's a bunch of other traditional birthday songs passed down in other languages and cultures that are so much better than happy birthday
MmmBop. I hated it the first time I heard it, I hate it now, and I only have to be reminded of it's existence and it will play in my head because it is so fucking catchy that somebody must have sacrificed the minimum of one newborn to some dark deity that thrives one human suffering.
Hansen has a large discography with a bunch of good stuff in it and MmmBop.

Toss up between Jenny (867-5309) for being absolutely disgusting on a conceptual level for glorifying stalker behavior or Owner of a Lonely Heart for going fucking nowhere and then having the audacity to drop a blaring synth note like it's a crescendo before going back to nothing.
That's not what Jenny is about. Jenny was a friend of the band that Jim Keller (song's author) was dating. There's lots of songs from back then that actually are creepy but I don't think that's one of them.
Also, a song about something bad is not an endorsment. For example Angel of Death by Slayer. Nirvana covered a Leadbelly song called Ain't It a Shame which is about the narrator beating his wife. Not an endorsment of spousal abuse from one of music's most famous feminists.
Sometimes s song is just telling a story, be it positive or negative.
As for Owner of a Lonely Heart, agreed. Annoying and over-played.
Heyyyyy brotherrrrrr.....
I was gonna say Happy by Pharrel Williams but someone else said Sweet Caroline and I might have to change my vote. Actually it's not that terrible of a song (Sweet Caroline I mean), but hearing it played at weddings and sporting events and then they pause it so everyone can scream BUM BUM BUMMM does get to me after the 5 millionth time.
"home" by Edward Sharpe and the magnetic zeroes
it's gotta be just about the most banal, saccharine, faux-folksy bullshit I've ever heard.
And it certainly doesn't help that when it came out I was living at home still and my sister played it to death.
That's a great description of it. I hate that whole genre, tbh. It feels so fake.
Never be the same by Camila Cabello. Fucking annoying overplayed ass music.
Anything by Drake.
Might be "Bohemian Rhapsody", or "We will Rock You". Which is odd, because Killer Queen is one of my favorite songs. Same artists can make crap or magic.
And "Horse With No Name", because of the godawful pretentious stupid lyrics.
Pour Some Sugar On Me. It's so terrible.
"Last Christmas", any version
