Worst music trends of 2012?

[Dragen]

What were the worst music trends of 2012?

IMO, I think it was Gangnam Style, Friday and all the other Ark songs.

[Provoke]

In before one direction.

All generic type music that is overplayed on the radio nowadays. Those were the worst music trends.

Don't get me wrong, the songs can be good, but since they are so overplayed, they become annoying to listen to and I just want to rip out my stereo because the same songs get played over and over again.

i don't really see how that impacts music

those things don't make it a musical trend

gangnam style is as much of a 'trend' as the macarena

[FattyWhale]

Paint parties.

trend (plural trends)

1. An inclination in a particular direction
2. A tendency
3. A fad or fashion style

So gangnam style is a trend, and it is related to music.

[littlegonkyboy]

don't know... maybe Gangnam Style or One Direction.

[Shade]

Whatever brand of dubstep has the ear rapingly shrill synth.

Agreed
I listened to half of one of their songs and I thought I was going to tear my ears off.
That and they ripped off The Clash.

Big Time Rush also ripped off Blur but thats a different story....

[EJR]

Wasn't Friday like 2 years ago

[kanef]

vaporwave
seapunk
witchhouse
carsoul
fieldstep
roomcore
escalatorfunk
broomtechno
purplemetal

[TheColourAwesome]

I avoid that shit like the plague.

[BigBadtheBazz]

I feel like too much music tries to be dubstep, like they have that grindy shit or some kind of drop,
like the song "starships" by nicki manaj. I hate that song.

[BumFodder]

Most of the generic music you hear on the radio plus all brostep.

[BasedBubbus]

Dubstep/brostep(however bumfodder wants to correct me)
That IE ad with the dubstep made me want to kill myself.

You sure do love that word.

[Spirit]

only gangnam style and friday were trends but they weren't particularly impactful to music

"all music on radio" people have said this already and it is just like go away old man

Are you saying that because it was so overused or because it's simply never good?

[Chemich]

Well everything Mainstream related has always been shit since 2001...

However in the underground scene (or so called,) picked up some great music and new stuff to listen to daily. Hopefully 2013 has more treats for me this year... (Ventana and Circus of Dead Squirrels release... would make the year for me.)

Well if you dont make them seperate then you have two things that are called the same but sound nothing alike.

That was 2011.

I think music trends nowadays always involves going to a club or something

[HipnikDragomir]

Everything. I like "Gangnam Style" and some of the more professional parodies, but the rest were shit.

you just proved me right

is music suddenly heading in the musical direction of 'gangnam style'

how many songs on the radio sound like it, huh? not many

it's a viral hit, but not a trend
