I really hate this “we won, get over it!” It’s not a football game- this shit is real. We have to face real concerns. The system is set up to allow and encourage dissent and compromise!

it’s not even people reaching back to like the eighties for examples - this stuff just happened! And it’s like they’re plugging their fingers in their ears and yelling “No!!!! That never happened!!”

I forgive missing Heathens on this list, because putting the Sean Paul remix of Cheap Thrills on here is such a great catch. That song tried to slink by, with its incongruous and nonsensical vocal mismatch. Listening to that remix is like eating a handful of M&Ms, only to realize one of them is actually a wasabi pea:…

All of their songs (that I’ve heard on the radio so far) are fucking terrible. How did they get a record contract??? Does someone in the band have a music-executive parent? There is no other explanation. Another reason why 2016 was absolute shit.

Came here to say this! I think Stressed Out was a 2015 song but I heard that shit enough this year for it to count. How are they popular? I can usually at least sorta pick up on why the youths like a particular group but I got nothing.

After all, Republicans have spent the last eight years providing us with such a great example of maturity and acceptance.

There must be another band that bridges the gap between 2003 Hoobastank and 2012 Imagine Dragons...

“Heathens” is not only the worst song of the year, it’s the worst song of the last three years. Its omission is unforgivable.

An additional 15 minutes of fame?

I was a little surprised not to see Heathens, the rare popular song I hate, on this list.

“We won”? What did Scott Baio win, again?

How the eff are there no Twenty One Pilots songs on this list? Am I the only one perpetually annoyed by their douchecanoe white frat boy “music”? For some reason I found their songs to be the distillation of everything horrible in America in 2016.

this woman could release a blank cd titled “nada, mate” and i’d buy it.

Just you wait! In 2017, they’ll start calling rape a “struggle snuggle”.

Stanford’s investigation of Karnes’s complaint found that Hinton had in fact made an “unwanted sexual advance” on the younger professor, but that this did not constitute sexual harassment.

Guess Stanford has decided, like many formerly well-respected institutions, that 2016 is really the year to throw their reputation down the drain.

The brightest darkest timeline!

I think it would more realistically be an absurd amount of intrusive state surveillance.

If you lived in a dystopian science fiction movie, what would be your first clue?

I look up my paycheck, stare at it for a few minutes, and remind myself that I like having money.
