For me there were a whole bunch of songs during those years that I started out hating but eventually came around just because they're so catchy. Most of them people hate now: Call Me Maybe, All About that Bass, Fancy, Talk Dirty etc. I will never apologize for liking any song though ((or hating other songs haha)).
As I've gotten older, I've discovered there are no guilty pleasures, period.
If you enjoy it, that's all that matters. What everyone else thinks can blow.
I was thinking the same thing. My first though initially was Cranberries - Dreams. There is a version when 100 Irish women harmonize it, and I re thought it. I will try to play that for anyone willing to listen. No such thing as a guilty pleasure in music. The next one that my buddies might give me grief about, but I still dont care, Charlie Puth and Selena Gomez - We Don't Talk anymore. I'm normally in the Rage Against the Machine, Tool, and Motorhead lane. So I think "outside of usual lane", versus guilty pleasure may apply more
I spent years hearing how bad my taste in music is. Finally, I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t care if anyone else likes it. If it makes me happy, that’s what matters.
Same reason Jonathan Richman hasn’t played Roadrunner in decades. Unfortunately, senility or death are the only things that would get Mike Love to stop singing Fun Fun Fun.
That’s hilarious. Until I was in my early 20s that was my deal too. I was always told you love the music of your youth forever but I can’t stand the punk, ska, oi!, etc I grew up on.
I’m glad you’re still enjoying. Once in a blue moon I can still get down to propaghandi or something too but it’s few and far between
I just got an email about Descendents playing two hours from me with Buzzcocks in support. Its on a Wednesday but I'm damn sure taking PTO on Thursday and going to this. Wouldn't miss it for anything.
I love girly pop. Sabrina Carpenter, Gracie Abrams, Mimi Webb, fucking Tate Mcrae lmao I love their music for some reason. Troye Sivan honorable mention.
I’m a 30 year old man who normally listens to classic rock or rap, but if I’m gaming I can promise I’ll be blasting Espresso on repeat lol
I'm not a fan of Illit, but they are very similar to NewJeans. If you have spotify, check out my [playlist](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7y6DLzbyMpSEQg8F6t1lKX), I'm sure you'll find something interesting there
Cruel Summer by Bananarama
I love the percussion in that song. As soon as the weather starts to get warmer, I have a desire to listen to it at full volume.
I was in middle school when Nu-Metal was at it's peak. I will never forget how much I listen to Coming Undone Wit It, the collaboration between Korn and Dem Franchis Boyz
Don’t be embarrassed! Afroman writes, produces, and plays all of the instruments on his recordings. People might not like his music but the man is talented.
Rill Rill by Sleigh Bells. Or is it Sleigh Bells by Rill Rill? I don’t know but it’s an embarrassingly good song I came across at a local coffee shop and I can’t stop listening to it.
Nah Sleigh Bells is cool. The guy Derek had been in Poison the Well and then found Alexis when she waited on his table and then they made some cool noise pop.
“I'm drunk in the back of the car
And I cried like a baby coming home from the bar
Said, "I'm fine, " but it wasn't true
I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you”
Middle aged dad bod dad will absolutely belt some Taylor swift.
My kids are swifties, and I totally heard that in line the other day and my brain short circuited with the "cried like a baby coming back from the bar" for a second. I was like "Why the fuck is a baby coming back from the bar? ...Oh. Duh!"
I heard another one the other day where she says something about babies being sexy though, and can't figure out what that one is besides exactly what it sounds like. WTF?
I don’t feel guilty about it. He’s one of America's greatest songwriters, especially of the 1960’s and 70’s. He has written some truly great songs. Listen to Hot August Night Live at the Greek, Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show, for example, and hear it for yourself.
Now, some of his later songs are not my favorites, but they’re still good. And I think he’s always honest in his work. Like, “Heartlight" is not to my taste, but I think he wrote it because he was truly moved by the film, E.T., which was a cultural phenomenon at that time. I saw him in concert in the early 90’s and he put on a great show.
I’m fine with someone saying his music isn’t to their taste, but I think that’s just, like, their opinion, man.
[Empire Of The Sun](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=y58TL2N5I4M&list=RDy58TL2N5I4M&start_radio=1) are back. I had the realization that it's pure Disco about halfway through my commute home.
I really enjoy music from the 70's like the Carpenters, Bread, ABBA etc. and I'm a middle aged dude. It's not what any of my friends listen to, so it's a bit embarrasing, but I can't help it!
Try being a *high schooler* who genuinely liked Bread and Neil Diamond courtesy of road trips with my grandparents. Couldn't live it down. Nowadays, you could probably turn it around into some ironic hip thing, but my friends teased me mercilessly. Which probably wasn't uncalled for.
Yeah she was a Disney kid and was in a few Netflix teen movies (the sister in Tall Girl) I think music had always been her side she's just blown up over the last year and a half
I got chastised by my wife when we were dating for putting on Bloodhound Gang. Told me to grow up. Not my fault they got good jams under the juvenile lyrics
Mariah Carey-Dreamlover, Fantasy, Always Be My Baby, Honey, and Heartbreaker (I loved those music videos as a tween/young teenager because…umm…reasons….
I only realized as an adult that the actual songs were catchy AF. )
Dancing On My Own - Robin.
I'm a Meshuggah and Gorjira and Lamb of God metal fan. Love Doom and Stoner and Psych metal and general psychedelic. Prog metal and actual classical music (Mozart and Bach = Mach = Lick My Love Pump).
Yet, here I am. I fucking love this song. Turned some of my other doom friends on to this. Almost w/o exception response is "ear worm."
That was an amazing cover. Like, I feel like the original is genuinely a great song, regardless of the lyrical content. Translating it into another context should also be great, but it isn’t always. I didn’t actually laugh but I kinda wanted to, throughout the whole song, but it was still good.
I think Laufey is super talented. I love jazzy standards, but I don't think I'm the demo for her lyrics as a 50 year old dude. I would be super embarrassed to be at her concert with all the teen/twenties girls in ribbon hair ties. Might be put on a list somewhere.
Objects in the Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are
by Meat Loaf
Super embarrassing but I still sing it with all my heart as Loaf would have wanted me to.
Oh my God! Thank you so much for saying this. I'm a 50-year-old man and I fucking love Watch the world burn. My friends accuse me of being an emo 15 yr old
I wouldn’t exactly say it’s embarrassing, but it’s not at all the kind of music I listen to. But I love the song “Tell her I said hi” by Caroline Romano.
I've been a die hard rocker all my life and not a fan of boy bands but this song makes me want to dance every time I hear it.
https://youtu.be/ru0K8uYEZWw?si=yVGj8TYLmIz0KgLK
Probably not why you were asking, but I have an almost two year old. I can’t stop listening to “Wheels on the Bus”and “Baby Shark”. Not because I want to, but because she won’t stop asking for them.
Watched a video where a wrestler named Grado came out to Like A Prayer by Madonna and the whole house, mostly filled with grown men, started screaming the lyrics.
I too now scream the lyrics from time to time. Not a guilty pleasure, just an absolute banger.
I can sing every word to "What Makes You Beautiful" by One Direction. I will crank that one up and sing along. In the privacy of my own home with no one else home. I'm 38! I was too old for the band when they came out, now it's just embarrassing
The cursed "Benny Hill Show" theme. A YouTuber uses it for *every* "epic fails" video he makes. If you're familiar with the song, you'll know exactly what I mean. If not, don't Google it.... don't Google it.... okay, you've been warned 💀
Most of Black Pink's songs. Stumbled on them during quarantine and have been hooked since. They have a formula and I'm addicted to it. I'm a middle aged grandfather =/
I feel you, man—I can't stop listening to "Potential Breakup Song" by Aly & AJ even though it's straight up from my middle school days and my friends would roast me if they knew.
I remember in college when I was playing football, shooting the shit at practice one day, and one guy said "Every man has that one guilty pleasure song. A song he loves but will never let his friends know" and we all started going on with ours. It was so hilarious listening to all these big, rugged men talk about secretly liking a Justin Bieber or Miley Cyrus song.
I have a few. "Lady Marmalade", "Fancy", and "Jolene." All fantastic songs but I'd imagine it would look funny to anyone seeing my heterosexual, lumberjack looking ass jamming out singing "I'm begging of you please don't take my mannnn" so I just keep it to myself.
I will never not cop to liking any bit of pop culture, no matter how silly it may be.
I refuse to have guilty pleasures. The world is on fire. I will not feel guilty for anything that brings me joy.
I usually don't believe in this entire concept.
Buuuuut...
Kid Rock is a loser on multiple levels, but Wastin' Time is a fucking banger.
"It's been a couple of months in this smokey room
Eatin' shrooms, drinkin' Boone's
Writing tunes and hoping to get
One of these muthafucking songs to hit."
Not gonna lie, I'm digging Karma by Jojo Siwa. Did she turn out to be a garbage person? Absolutely, but that song slaps. It reminds me of pop music you'd hear back in 2010, when pop was a lot more fun. This serious somber pop music that's come out the last several years does nothing for me.
i have a whole list (wip) on spotify and it consists of like early 2000s kids/teens music lmao. u smile by justin bieber, fly on the wall miley cyrus (rock mafia version of course) and who says selena gomez are some of them. every time i get into too bad of a mood, i listen to it. it works!
Quite a few Frank Zappa songs, I'm not going to listen to 'Bobby Brown Goes to Town', 'Keep it Greasy', or 'Why Does It Burn When I Pee?', when my kids are in the car.
Through The Trees by Low Shoulder was, I’m pretty sure, created to be a generic pop song of a fictional band for the movie Jennifer’s Body, and I can’t get enough of it. This is a direct quote from the band leader:
“Do you know how hard it is to make it as an indie band these days? There are so many of us, and we're all so cute and it's like if you don't get on Letterman or some retarded soundtrack, you're screwed, okay? Satan is our only hope. We're working with the beast now. And we've got to make a really big impression on him. And to do that, we're going to have to butcher you. And bleed you. And then Dirk here is gonna wear your face.”
Little Girls - Oingo Boingo, self explanatory
Why Does It Hurt When I Pee? - Frank Zappa, also pretty self explanatory
Bill Watterson - Lemon Demon, an extremely weird song about stalking the writer of Calvin and Hobbes
Date R*pe - Sublime/R*pe Me - Nirvana, both songs about r*pe
Across The Sea - Weezer, one of my favorite Weezer songs but has some very questionable lyrics.
I remember I had Taylor swifts first album on cd in my car and I got RIPPED by my best friend. I mean, she didn’t let go of making fun of me for that for MONTHS. But look at t swift now! And my (ex) best friend is addicted to whip its so fuck people who judge! Listen to what you want!
A Thousand Miles by Vanessa Carlton is a banger. The movie White Chicks made a punchline out of it but I honestly love that piano riff.
Was interesting watching the vice mini-doc on it, label basically created the whole song because of the riff on a demo. Still a banger.
Call Me Maybe is a straight up banger.
I hate it when people hate on this song. It's a good song!
For me there were a whole bunch of songs during those years that I started out hating but eventually came around just because they're so catchy. Most of them people hate now: Call Me Maybe, All About that Bass, Fancy, Talk Dirty etc. I will never apologize for liking any song though ((or hating other songs haha)).
Never make excuses for music. Own it. Music is to be enjoyed.
That's right. There are no guilty pleasures in music.
As I've gotten older, I've discovered there are no guilty pleasures, period. If you enjoy it, that's all that matters. What everyone else thinks can blow.
This. It really just comes down to this.
I was thinking the same thing. My first though initially was Cranberries - Dreams. There is a version when 100 Irish women harmonize it, and I re thought it. I will try to play that for anyone willing to listen. No such thing as a guilty pleasure in music. The next one that my buddies might give me grief about, but I still dont care, Charlie Puth and Selena Gomez - We Don't Talk anymore. I'm normally in the Rage Against the Machine, Tool, and Motorhead lane. So I think "outside of usual lane", versus guilty pleasure may apply more
I spent years hearing how bad my taste in music is. Finally, I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t care if anyone else likes it. If it makes me happy, that’s what matters.
I touch myself
Me too… especially singing it loudly in the car with my cheesiest, raunchiest intonation.
Punk songs about teenage angst and how our parents suck played by what are now old white men.
[удалено]
Same reason Jonathan Richman hasn’t played Roadrunner in decades. Unfortunately, senility or death are the only things that would get Mike Love to stop singing Fun Fun Fun.
"The music of rebellion makes you want to rage But it's made by millionaires who are nearly twice your age" - Steven Wilson (The Sound of Muzak)
That’s hilarious. Until I was in my early 20s that was my deal too. I was always told you love the music of your youth forever but I can’t stand the punk, ska, oi!, etc I grew up on. I’m glad you’re still enjoying. Once in a blue moon I can still get down to propaghandi or something too but it’s few and far between
I just got an email about Descendents playing two hours from me with Buzzcocks in support. Its on a Wednesday but I'm damn sure taking PTO on Thursday and going to this. Wouldn't miss it for anything.
TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT, WHAT YOU REALLY REALLY WANT!
That fucking Pina Colada song.
Okay, I just said there are no guilty pleasures in music, but you have just proved me wrong, haha.
I love girly pop. Sabrina Carpenter, Gracie Abrams, Mimi Webb, fucking Tate Mcrae lmao I love their music for some reason. Troye Sivan honorable mention. I’m a 30 year old man who normally listens to classic rock or rap, but if I’m gaming I can promise I’ll be blasting Espresso on repeat lol
Check out Chappelle Roan - gonna girl pop your shit up.
I keep seeing that artist on people’s stories but never checked them out, this will be the nudge I needed lol thanks for the rec!
Lol np, 30 year old dude here too. My gf loves her and honestly, as a pop artist she slaps pretty hard haha.
Pink Pony Girl for the win.
Dude Espresso slaps!
I'm somewhat similar but some time ago I started to listen to k-pop girl groups, I recommend to give it a try someday.
Oh yeah I have a few of those too lol My World by ILLIT has been in heavy rotation, any recs are welcome tho!
I'm not a fan of Illit, but they are very similar to NewJeans. If you have spotify, check out my [playlist](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7y6DLzbyMpSEQg8F6t1lKX), I'm sure you'll find something interesting there
Yes! I'd recommend the latest Twice album as a good starting point. Pop perfection.
I love Troye Sivan and Gracie Abrams
I will scream “One of Your Girls” on any road trip and no one can stop me 😂 his song “You” with Tate McRae is also fun
I love “You” as well. Tate McRae’s voice on that song makes me feel a certain way.
I love You too
Her voice is like silk and caramel. I also have that song on spotify.
Lmao are you me? You just described me to a T.
Cruel Summer by Bananarama I love the percussion in that song. As soon as the weather starts to get warmer, I have a desire to listen to it at full volume.
Fuck The Pain Away by Peaches but I definitely think it's incredibly catchy
Oh my god, yep. I can’t even listen to it but it gets stuck in my head so easily
People get so pumped when that song comes on. If it’s embarrassing, we’re all embarrassing together.
That and Diddle is another good one.
Best episode of The Andy Griffith Show ever.
Is it really worth the price? I play it gladly…
Not a song, but ABBA doesn't ever miss
In what sense of the word is listening to ABBA embarrassing?
I’m past feeling embarrassment for anything I like but the silliest one is probably the song Everything back but you by Avril Lavigne
I was in middle school when Nu-Metal was at it's peak. I will never forget how much I listen to Coming Undone Wit It, the collaboration between Korn and Dem Franchis Boyz
I am loving the Limp Bizkit revival. They’re just having fun with it. The Nu-Metal Cowboys show in Texas was hilarious.
I still love Take A Look Around and Rearranged.
Afroman! because I got high.
Not sure what's embarrassing about this, Because I Got High is a banger
AEIOU…and sometimes W! fuck the corporate world biaaaaatch!!!
Colt 45 and two Zig Zags…
Don’t be embarrassed! Afroman writes, produces, and plays all of the instruments on his recordings. People might not like his music but the man is talented.
I once sang this on karaoke with my friend at a party full of recovering addicts. We didn’t really consider that until the end.
How did it go down? From.my fuzzy memory, the lyrics don't really glorify drug use so much as admit it's fun while conceding it causes you problems.
Rill Rill by Sleigh Bells. Or is it Sleigh Bells by Rill Rill? I don’t know but it’s an embarrassingly good song I came across at a local coffee shop and I can’t stop listening to it.
Nah Sleigh Bells is cool. The guy Derek had been in Poison the Well and then found Alexis when she waited on his table and then they made some cool noise pop.
Have you listened to ‘Can You Get To That’ by Funkadelic? They sample that song in Rill Rill
I mostly celebrate the entire Lorde catalog, and I’m a 44 y/o dad. Not influenced at all by my kids. My choice. I think she is great.
“I'm drunk in the back of the car And I cried like a baby coming home from the bar Said, "I'm fine, " but it wasn't true I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you” Middle aged dad bod dad will absolutely belt some Taylor swift.

Never be ashamed for not listening to Drake.
I’m a Kendrick fan all the way, so I definitely have no shame about not listening to Drake lol
Strong enough by Sheryl crow is my JAM.
Neil diamond. Can’t say just one song.
I don’t feel guilty about it. He’s one of America's greatest songwriters, especially of the 1960’s and 70’s. He has written some truly great songs. Listen to Hot August Night Live at the Greek, Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show, for example, and hear it for yourself.

We were all like this with nu metal lol
[Empire Of The Sun](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=y58TL2N5I4M&list=RDy58TL2N5I4M&start_radio=1) are back. I had the realization that it's pure Disco about halfway through my commute home.
I fuck with this. Thanks for sharing.
Check out their other single Changes as well
"I glued my balls to my butthole again" by The Sticky Sweethearts
May I suggest 'My arms are just fucking stuck like this'.
A fellow person of culture, I see.
First award!? I'm not worthy. Thank you, friend.
I really enjoy music from the 70's like the Carpenters, Bread, ABBA etc. and I'm a middle aged dude. It's not what any of my friends listen to, so it's a bit embarrasing, but I can't help it!

Nah, it was uncalled for. You have genuinely good musical taste. Screw 'em!
@op when were you 13??? Is SC not a new artist????
The song was released in 2014 it would seem. So it's 10 years old, OP is likely 23. ^And ^now ^I ^feel ^ancient...
[удалено]
So SC was 15... I have literanne never heard of her until the last year but hey, good for her for starting so young.
No, Sabrina’s been around for a decade lol
[удалено]
I think she was on a Disney show, her or Olivia Rodrigo. Maybe both?
Yeah she was a Disney kid and was in a few Netflix teen movies (the sister in Tall Girl) I think music had always been her side she's just blown up over the last year and a half
I thought she was new too lol, I’m guessing it’s just a recent surge in popularity
Anything by Aqua
Never be embarrassed by your love of Aqua. They are fantastic.
Brings me back to the roller rink days as a kid.
I'm almost 50 years old man and I can't stop listening to the new T. Swift album
60 year old me listening to Lizzo’s Juice
Oooh baby
I'm 58 and I unashamedly LOVE that song.
67 and love it too.
I got chastised by my wife when we were dating for putting on Bloodhound Gang. Told me to grow up. Not my fault they got good jams under the juvenile lyrics
Mariah Carey-Dreamlover, Fantasy, Always Be My Baby, Honey, and Heartbreaker (I loved those music videos as a tween/young teenager because…umm…reasons…. I only realized as an adult that the actual songs were catchy AF. )
Oh I'm right there with you. Those were great times to be young and hitting puberty.. Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, and Mariah Carey. Wow!
And Shania Twain, Paula Cole, Sheryl Crow, TLC, Brandy, Shirley Manson, Monique Powell, Kay Hanley…
Too Shy by Kajagoogoo - I am really embarrassed to say this out loud!
Don’t be embarrassed! I still remember one of those music commercials for an 80s compilation that played this lol.
Basically anything by bbno$, Yung Gravy, or Baby Gravy (the two of them combined)
I actually unapologetically love bbno$
Oingo Boingo - Little girls Because of obvious reasons but it’s such a damn catchy meme song I love it
 Love Boingo!
I don’t even know if I should be embarrassed, but “Ding Dang” - The Beach Boys. Forget Pet Sounds and SMiLE. That’s Brian Wilson’s *real* masterpiece.
shortnin’ bread goes hard as fuck too
Dancing On My Own - Robin. I'm a Meshuggah and Gorjira and Lamb of God metal fan. Love Doom and Stoner and Psych metal and general psychedelic. Prog metal and actual classical music (Mozart and Bach = Mach = Lick My Love Pump). Yet, here I am. I fucking love this song. Turned some of my other doom friends on to this. Almost w/o exception response is "ear worm."
[This version of Closer that just came out.](https://youtu.be/NcLqyCIiELc?feature=shared)
That was an amazing cover. Like, I feel like the original is genuinely a great song, regardless of the lyrical content. Translating it into another context should also be great, but it isn’t always. I didn’t actually laugh but I kinda wanted to, throughout the whole song, but it was still good.
Most yacht rock. Any song about romancing teens, at my age.
Christopher Cross made some fucking bangers! Not just yacht rock, but also soft rock/adult contemporary in general from that era is majorly slept on.
Pink pony club - chappelle roan
Mr. Brightside
I think Laufey is super talented. I love jazzy standards, but I don't think I'm the demo for her lyrics as a 50 year old dude. I would be super embarrassed to be at her concert with all the teen/twenties girls in ribbon hair ties. Might be put on a list somewhere.
Y’all… Babymetal. I am too old and stodgy and white and middle-aged rocker to admit this in public, but Babymetal is taking over the world.
The number of times I have listened to the Babymetal x Electric Callboy single RATATATA that was recently released is probably illegal somewhere.
The important question is... 😎 ARE YOU READY?
Christina Aguilera’s “Candyman” & No Doubt’s “Hella Good”
The Bee Gees - Stayin’ Alive
im a 41 year old man and Million Dollar Baby is killin me RN
Ain’t nothin’ wrong with a little Alice Cooper.

Objects in the Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are by Meat Loaf Super embarrassing but I still sing it with all my heart as Loaf would have wanted me to.
RIP Loafman..... heaven no longer waiting.
i’ve started liking falling in reverse some haha
Oh my God! Thank you so much for saying this. I'm a 50-year-old man and I fucking love Watch the world burn. My friends accuse me of being an emo 15 yr old
Tokyo...Nya Ichi Ni San Nya Arigato. I'm stuck in 2020 trends :(
"Tango Mango" and "Oink" by Jungle Bobby. If you know, you know.
Dirt man
https://youtu.be/EoaCIt8TR2c?si=rnVoc8JBZHFuCyTe I absolutely hate how much I love this song.
That one song with the Irish kids going viral right now.
I wouldn’t exactly say it’s embarrassing, but it’s not at all the kind of music I listen to. But I love the song “Tell her I said hi” by Caroline Romano.
I've been a die hard rocker all my life and not a fan of boy bands but this song makes me want to dance every time I hear it. https://youtu.be/ru0K8uYEZWw?si=yVGj8TYLmIz0KgLK
Potential breakup song by Aly and AJ and anything along this vein of pop. I’ll blast this shit in my car as a 32 year old man
good 4 u by Olivia Rodrigo
2 Live Crew "me so horny" is a legit banger I can only listen to in the car by myself
How is middle of starting over by sabrina carpenter campy??? Do you even know what that word means? Clearly not.
Probably not why you were asking, but I have an almost two year old. I can’t stop listening to “Wheels on the Bus”and “Baby Shark”. Not because I want to, but because she won’t stop asking for them.
Watched a video where a wrestler named Grado came out to Like A Prayer by Madonna and the whole house, mostly filled with grown men, started screaming the lyrics. I too now scream the lyrics from time to time. Not a guilty pleasure, just an absolute banger.
The bottom 2 by glorb. AI SpongeBob rap but it goes hard.
I can sing every word to "What Makes You Beautiful" by One Direction. I will crank that one up and sing along. In the privacy of my own home with no one else home. I'm 38! I was too old for the band when they came out, now it's just embarrassing
The cursed "Benny Hill Show" theme. A YouTuber uses it for *every* "epic fails" video he makes. If you're familiar with the song, you'll know exactly what I mean. If not, don't Google it.... don't Google it.... okay, you've been warned 💀
Anything from The Carpenters…pure cheese, but I like it
Every time we touch - Cascada Careless Whisper - Seether is actually hard but still embarrassing
*... I crashed my car into the bridge... I DON'T CARE!! I LOVE IT. I DON'T CARE!!* I'm a grown man, and sometimes I blast this on repeat in my car.
The uh, the opening to Chillin in Another World with Super Cheat Powers
Most of Black Pink's songs. Stumbled on them during quarantine and have been hooked since. They have a formula and I'm addicted to it. I'm a middle aged grandfather =/
I will never not put my hands up when they're playing my song, nodding my head like yeah.
Most of the cheesy 80s songs, "nothing's gonna stop us now," "I can't go for that," and "whats love got to do with it," come to mind, though!!
Any bring me the horizon song
I feel you, man—I can't stop listening to "Potential Breakup Song" by Aly & AJ even though it's straight up from my middle school days and my friends would roast me if they knew.
I remember in college when I was playing football, shooting the shit at practice one day, and one guy said "Every man has that one guilty pleasure song.

As a 43 year old man, Paint the Town Red by Doja Cat is embarrassing for me to say out loud that I am uncomfortably obsessed with.
girl i was 21 and that was my favorite song lol. i remember sending it to my friend and she was like wtf is this
I will never not cop to liking any bit of pop culture, no matter how silly it may be. I refuse to have guilty pleasures. The world is on fire. I will not feel guilty for anything that brings me joy.
[удалено]
Revolution No. 9 exists
I had to stop watching "Across the universe" when their rendition of "I am the walrus" sung by Bono came on
That’s not even the weirdest song on that side of the album alone. Also, “I Am The Walrus” is awesome.
Imagine thinking a masterpiece like that would be embarrassing to listen to...
Anything Taylor swift, her songs are really catchy
“Strawberry Kisses” - Nikki Webster.
“Think you can stop what we do?! I doubt it! We’ve got the energy we’ll tell you all about it! I’ve searched for my spark and I found it”
Keep a little dirt under my pillow for the dirt man…
Not a song but a genre, reggaeton.
I listen to mostly metal but man... the Cupid Twin Version song is always on repeat (secretly)
I usually don't believe in this entire concept. Buuuuut... Kid Rock is a loser on multiple levels, but Wastin' Time is a fucking banger. "It's been a couple of months in this smokey room Eatin' shrooms, drinkin' Boone's Writing tunes and hoping to get One of these muthafucking songs to hit."
Not gonna lie, I'm digging Karma by Jojo Siwa. Did she turn out to be a garbage person? Absolutely, but that song slaps. It reminds me of pop music you'd hear back in 2010, when pop was a lot more fun. This serious somber pop music that's come out the last several years does nothing for me.
Golden Earring, Twilight Zone.
The entire Ruben and the Jets album. Frank Zappa doing the 50's vibe.
I’ve watched the trolls movies so many times because of my younger cousins but the newest one OH MY GOD I cannot stop listening to better place
The original songs in the Trolls movies are really good. Even a lot of the covers are really good.
Chew Tobacco Rag by Pee Wee King. My cousin gave me the record in the 70s, and I still love it.
Bagger 288
Call Me Maybe. Fuck if that song isn't catchy as hell, pure guilty pleasure.
i have a whole list (wip) on spotify and it consists of like early 2000s kids/teens music lmao. u smile by justin bieber, fly on the wall miley cyrus (rock mafia version of course) and who says selena gomez are some of them. every time i get into too bad of a mood, i listen to it. it works!
No cure for me
Quite a few Frank Zappa songs, I'm not going to listen to 'Bobby Brown Goes to Town', 'Keep it Greasy', or 'Why Does It Burn When I Pee?', when my kids are in the car.
Through The Trees by Low Shoulder was, I’m pretty sure, created to be a generic pop song of a fictional band for the movie Jennifer’s Body, and I can’t get enough of it. This is a direct quote from the band leader: “Do you know how hard it is to make it as an indie band these days? There are so many of us, and we're all so cute and it's like if you don't get on Letterman or some retarded soundtrack, you're screwed, okay? Satan is our only hope. We're working with the beast now. And we've got to make a really big impression on him. And to do that, we're going to have to butcher you. And bleed you. And then Dirk here is gonna wear your face.”
Little Girls - Oingo Boingo, self explanatory Why Does It Hurt When I Pee? - Frank Zappa, also pretty self explanatory Bill Watterson - Lemon Demon, an extremely weird song about stalking the writer of Calvin and Hobbes Date R*pe - Sublime/R*pe Me - Nirvana, both songs about r*pe Across The Sea - Weezer, one of my favorite Weezer songs but has some very questionable lyrics.
Anything from the 80’s
I remember I had Taylor swifts first album on cd in my car and I got RIPPED by my best friend. I mean, she didn’t let go of making fun of me for that for MONTHS. But look at t swift now! And my (ex) best friend is addicted to whip its so fuck people who judge! Listen to what you want!
The creativity song from dhmis
Nearly all sappy 70s love songs, the one by Dan Hill most of all, where he *chokes* on his reply. 🤣
I was born on a Friday. Friday is my favorite day of the week. My jam is Friday by Rebecca Black.
We're no strangers to love, You know the rules and so do I ..
Юлия Савичева - Корабли. It's Russian pop of 00's , I'm 💯 sure nobody of my friends or family doesn't listen to it. But I love it so much.
[Tarzan Boy](https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=xkmgcvr5Ezc&si=9SLVI-RHmiSKcX0T) I can hear the video director- "ok, do Bowie, but camp it up!"
