violet08_What’s your guilty pleasure song?
I have never understood the point of guilty pleasures. Why are you letting other people decide what you like?
It’s not about that. If I can tell something is objectively bad but still enjoy it, I consider it a guilty pleasure, lol.
Tatu, All The Things She Said. Everything awful about Tatu but I can’t help but enjoy that song.
What is it that you don’t like about them? Personally I am really enjoying ‘all the things she said’ and ‘all about us’ .
Oh, I think they are awesome - but the abusive faux-lesbian branding makes me feel a bit guilty enjoying it. Personal feelings only, tbh.
CerebralHawksI remember when that was a big deal… my read on it was that their producer was trying to market them as “hot underage Russian lesbians” but they themselves just wanted to provide representation through an act that did not reflect their real lives. Good faith on their part, bad faith on management’s.
Not that the disgust with them was entirely unjustified. They still misled people.
I prefer the Russian version, feels more authentic since they’re from there.
FizzFollow me from Uncle Kracker. It is sooooo catchy but honestly it’s all about cheating on your partner which I find is something that should not be encouraged. Thus guilty pleasure in my opinion
“Tell Ur Girlfriend” by Lay Bankz is like that too. The lyrics go:
“Should tell my boyfriend what I’ve been doin’ Been thinkin’ of you every time I screw him And if you want me, you gotta put the word in Go tell your girlfriend that I’m your girlfriend”
Lost my virginity to that song.

Pan0wskiOmg when they had the the lawyers at Afro mans trial ask about this song when questioning the ex. Wife of one of the cops – I don’t even know. Its a gloriously hilarious moment. The lawyers are so uncomfortable saying wet ass pussy in court. And they completely miss the message, which the lady thinks about mentioning when answering before she realizes what they’re trying to get at and just goes with it. (IIRC she was the only defense for AM besides himself). A second lawyer later can’t say it. Hilarious.

Some songs from Burzum like Jesus’ Tod go really hard but he is an open racist and neo-nazi :(
It’s like when people tell me that Skrewdriver’s first album is really good. Like, maybe? But I still can’t bring myself to listen to it. Hell, I can’t even listen to Pantera these days.
Hahaha. Fuck. I went to a record swap once where some dude we’d always thought was a fencewalker showed up with that album and tried to convince us “it’s actually really good”. The greatest hit Ian had was a tree.
I don’t believe in guilty pleasures because I don’t feel guilty about listening to weird niche music that everyone around me thinks is beneath them.
That being said, I understand the concept and can apply it to my music library. So here’s a big one.
22/7 - Hyacinth Apple Music | YouTube
I’m linking the Apple Music version not just because I think they deserve to get paid more for your stream, but in case you’re a subscriber, you have Dolby Atmos turned on, and you have compatible earbuds, because the song is fucking magical in spatial audio. It’s like feeding candy to your ears. The best spatial audio mastering I’ve heard is Tom Sawyer by RUSH. This is second best. The song feels like a tech demo for spatial audio.
For context, 22/7 (which is another way to say Pi, mathematically, and read as “twenty-two per seven”) is a cartoon band, similar to HUNTR/X from Kpop Demon Hunters, except, after the anime series about them… they just continued making music. Hyacinth isn’t from their anime. They even make music for other anime now. So they’re a real band. Anywhere between 8 and 12 Japanese girls singing in unison in groups. For JPop/idol music, it’s pretty good. You don’t need to know their anime to listen to them. It was a fantasy series about a mysterious wall that would spit out engraved metal chips with instructions. No one knew who was writing the commands, but people started following it, and it told them to build an idol group and when and where to have them play. They become an overnight sensation. Eventually the wall tells them they have to disband, and after being forced to do so, they seek out who’s behind the wall. It’s… not very good, as far as anime goes, but the music is on point and I think it’s worth watching, if you like music anime.
I didn’t think it could. And I don’t trust an anime about music to teach me something about mathematics. That’s just what they call it. (22 / 7 on a calculator does get you 3.14 though, and a bunch of numbers… it’s not exactly Pi though.)
AkasazhTo be fair it sexualizes men a whole lot as well.

The song is truly fucked up but for some reason I like it a lot
durinnMost music sung by Japanese idols, because while I’m absolutely infatuated by the music, the knowledge of what kind of horrible working conditions they have to endure is like a splinter in my brain. But if I had to mention just one, why not go back to the good old days. 🥰
大塚 愛 / さくらんぼ
I'm not sure if it 100% counts, but probably this. It's the kind of religious wish fulfillment I usually can't tolerate, but the rhythm is too good. It's in my playlist, but I absolutely wouldn't listen to it in front of anyone who can understand the lyrics.

Grimes - Delicate Weapon. It appears in a videogame during a moment that’s a complicated stew of themes and emotions including precarity, desperation, but also deep burgeoning artificiality and fakeness. The act of stopping to enjoy the song is entirely optional, you do surrounded by completely insufferable and irredeemable people, by it’s still kind of a moment.
It makes me think about how deep down in some kind of (possibly shitty) way we really are the things that we pretend to be. But I also kind of like that.
Delicate Weapon
Probably. It definitely wouldn’t have had all that going on if not for the video game. I looked up the music video and it’s just Grimes (I presume) trying on different outfits and smoldering at the camera
Those that people around me do not approve:
- Die Antwoord - Doosdronk
- Afroman - Randy Walters is a son of a bitch
- A capella science - rolling in the Higgs
- Tom Cardy - Je suis fatigué
- Dale Mehndi - Tunak Tunak Tun
- Keddi Kosár - Mi Vagyunk Magyar Peter (Mulatós version)
Leftover Crack’s first two albums scratch an itch that nothing else can reach. Unfortunately the frontman is a raging piece of shit.
LC never quite scratched that itch for me but Choking Victim is absolutely a guilty pleasure I haven’t abandoned despite Scott’s bs.

HarmoniousI Love You - Billie Eilish. I mainly listen to edm and heavy metal, but sometimes I just wanna chill out and I’m a sucker for a good romance
Anything by Yungblud
You’re Having My Baby by Paul Anka!! One of the worst songs ever recorded. “The seed inside ya, baby, do you feel it growin?” The gold standard for cheesy bullshit.
(You're) Having My Baby - Paul Anka and Odia Coates
Take it off by Ke$ha.
It’s such a good song.
Drunk & Rootany scenecore song (i mainly listen to deathcore)
Icona Pop - I love it

Have to add another that qualifies way more, since it came up on my playlist on the way home from work.
At the time, I was into the Rockband games, and when this song came out, I flat-out refused to sing it. I felt like I was being punked. My wife sang it instead, the song was awesome, and I went from “I would never” to “I will sing it” to “I will be the first one to pick it every time.” IIRC it’s fairly easy for all instruments, so it’s fine to pick early before the band is properly warmed up. Like you never start with Metallica, Dream Theater, Iron Maiden, or certain other ones, unless you wanna be in a fight with your drummer and/or guitarist. Or they’re gonna turn around and pick Spoonman, by Soundgarden, which is hell on vocals. In other words, you’re in a fight.
Years later, I discovered the music video, which is 100% on point. It’s a stupid/silly song and the video pulls no punches. TL;DW, the band members are all dressed up like Abraham Lincoln and… well… nah, just watch it. It might make some RWNJs think twice about saying they’re “the party of Lincoln”. Because apparently… Lincoln knew how to party?

CanopyflyerMaybe not exactly a guilty pleasure, as the band actually OK overall… But
“Instamatic” by Vertical Horizon
Neil Peart was the guest drummer and it’s very apparent he makes a massive impact on Vertical Horizon. The entire band becomes way more precise and the song just hits differently and harder than any of their other work.
