    The only music I can’t stomach is the white nationalist sort of country music, the stuff all about beer, god, driving a truck. Bleh. It’s so cloying and clearly made by middle class suburban ghouls pretending to be rural country people. I include that Oliver Anthony idiot here, and Jason Aldean. The worst culprit is Luke Bryan. Just propagandists working for coordinated fascists, all of them.

    I gotta ask what you think of musicians who make music that’s intentionally supposed to be bad. Like Lou Reed possibly made Metal Machine Music as an insult to his record company. Bob Dylan made the album “Self Portrait” bad on purpose as well. My personal favorite is Hanatarash, who made music so inaccessible their performances were actually dangerous. They’d include construction equipment like jackhammers in their music, and one time they had to be stopped from throwing a lit molotov cocktail on stage. They eventually got banned from every venue in Japan for insurance reasons.

    Then there’s Hello Kitty Suicide Club which is on a different level

      Sometimes, music that’s made to be “intentionally bad” ends up having people who like it anyways. Like the one dude on TikTok who tried to make an “objectively bad song” but accidentally made kickass breakcore

      I’d bet that people who intentionally make bad music end up making music that sucks according to the people that like the genre they’re making, not music that’s universally bad
