Music that makes you irrationally angry
could be a fun thread? unless i'm the only weirdo who spends way too much time trying to figure out why i don't like the things i don't like.
anyway, inspired by this guy, brett dennen.
everything about this video enrages me. the ironic, half-hearted dancing. the ironic, half-hearted athletics. the ironic, half-hearted appropriation of street slang (that's my dog, etc). headbands. it's like an entire generation of ironic mustaches rose up, achieved sentience, and started writing songs. wtf is that accent he sings with?
(takes deep breath)
any others?

Mindless top 40 dance music (Ke$ha, Pitbull, etc.)
Indie rock bands that are aping 80's new wave (a dozen bands in the past few years are doing their best (worst?) Flock of Seagulls impersonations)

Re: Music that makes you irrationally angry
I think that song is ridiculously catchy.
(ducks)
My submissions to this thread:
It name drops the Stones for attention, and then just sounds like pre-recorded electro dance pop. The worst part? It gets stuck in your brain.
I hate this anti-intellectual oversimplification of political issues that panders to uneducated Republicans and the fear tactics that they just eat up. You can't sing Christmas Carols? Shut the fuck up Toby. I hate that slippery slope bullshit. How would you feel if they started singing Ramadan carols at public school? You'd blow a fucking tit.

That is definitely one worst songs ever in my opinion. Not that my thoughts are very important, but holy shit I can't even think after reading such lyrics. Add in the cheesy, cookie cutter, cliched music played over it and uhhh I'm at a loss for words for how much I hate it. What's even more of problem to me, where I live and work, this song is in a lot of people's top 5. On top of that, I assume Toby is making a killing off of cheap pandering BS songs while real artists/musicians barely scrape by. Wow. Just wow. It's very distressing that anyone with a working set of ears would enjoy this song.

It's definitely catchy. Which (like that Jagger song) is another reason why it enrages me.
The flag waving, halftime show sub-genre of modern country music is pretty bad, but most of it is so corny and obvious that it just makes me laugh. It's sad, though...most of these singers and songwriters are smart dudes. Kinda gross and cynical of them to dumb things down the way they do.

That's why it bothers me so much and makes me angry. Not only are they financially exploiting people's ignorance, they're perpetuating it.

Re: Music that makes you irrationally angry
I enjoy a few jambands, but I always get a kick out of the South Park "Hippy" episode where they hold a jamband fest in South Park. That crowd can be wildly annoying.

Yeah, that one is awful. A bunch of people I know have posted it on their facebooks, and I thought to myself "this might be a fun pop-country song about booze cruisin'". I wasn't prepared for the rap-country abortion I was about to hear.

You must hate music then, because the only thing I don't like is crap generic rock bands, nickel back, that kinda crap, most rap and generic pop country. Infact if you take any of those generic rock bands from the radio, put a pedal steel in the music and maybe a fiddle, it would sound exactly the same as radio country music.
Oh and I'm pretty sick of classic rock

Barenaked Ladies have some great songs,they aren't the pop radio hits so most people don't even know about them.

Cake, Train, Madonna in her prime. I'm sure other stuff will bubble up to the surface now that the question's been asked.

Terry Jacks - I want to punch that little pussy right in the face.
Daughtry - it's bad enough that those yardling losers Creed exist.
And just about anything on mainstream country radio. WTF??? It's SO fucking FAKE.
Oh, and anything with Auto-Tune. Instant anger.

It's like they said on the Office earlier this season - its rock for people that don't like rock, its pop for people that don't like pop, and its rap for people that don't like rap.
