I, for one, am getting very tired of the phrase "party people".

Any kind of horn or alarm.

gun shots

5/25/2011 4:54:33 PM

People referencing themselves in the song

BIRDMAN DADDY I FLY IN ANY WEATHER

We already know who you are

5/25/2011 4:55:47 PM

Bands with overly long fucking sentence fragments for their names, album titles, or song titles.

5/25/2011 4:56:00 PM

that wind chime sound that you hear in R&B songs

5/25/2011 5:18:23 PM

rap albums needing to have at least 1 "club banger" and 1 song with some R&B cat signing a hook.

5/25/2011 5:20:32 PM

a long "breakdown" section relentlessly foreshadowed from the intro

5/25/2011 5:22:43 PM

9 minute music videos for a 4 minute song

5/25/2011 5:23:44 PM

whale, dolphin or seagull sounds in trance music.

5/25/2011 5:28:20 PM

autotune

5/25/2011 5:29:41 PM

I like autotune

Cher's career wouldn't have been the same without it

5/25/2011 5:34:32 PM

part of why i hate country is that steel guitar sound wREEEEEeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrww

5/25/2011 5:41:58 PM

yeah if country music isn't itself a cliche, I'd say that guitar twang or pretty much most of the repeating male vocalists are

5/25/2011 5:47:39 PM

The beauty of country is that all you need is a guitar, a pickup and a scorned lover, and you're good to go

5/25/2011 6:04:56 PM

dont forget the truck and the terminally-ill dog

5/25/2011 6:11:21 PM

the pickup is the truck silly

good call on the dog tho

5/25/2011 6:19:10 PM

oh i read "guitar to pick up" lol

5/25/2011 6:27:44 PM

theres only one person who should be allowed to use autotune: t pain

5/25/2011 6:30:59 PM

I'm not a drummer but the one that irks me is something that I like to call the "standard rock ending" Watch this vid for a pretty standard example of this horrendous plague

also lmao at lynyrd skynyrd's stage visuals.

5/25/2011 6:52:49 PM

I hate Zakk Wylde and all his damn pick squeals!

5/25/2011 8:31:55 PM

Bands' attempts to go out of their way to sound lo-fi.

5/25/2011 8:38:40 PM

played out simplistic rhymes like "love" with "above"

5/25/2011 9:24:01 PM

i could list entire genres but illl limit myself this time to 80s power ballads.

5/26/2011 11:14:42 AM

shitty country music has all but ruined the slide guitar for me

5/26/2011 11:47:00 AM

lol @ pinch harmonics

i generally hate needless last-chorus key changes

but sometimes they rule

5/26/2011 12:38:42 PM

2-3 second pauses in the song after someone sings "stop!" or "pause!" or "wait!"

5/26/2011 12:50:45 PM

Pause... ... ... hammertime

"oh i read "guitar to pick up" lol"

I read pickup as in the guitar was acoustic and they attached one of these:

You gotta love all the rock concert stage antics cliches from the 80s and 90s. There's the David Lee Roth style splits in the air from the lead singer. There's the back-to-back guitarists thing (Poison maybe?). There's the dualing guitarist thing where they play at each other. There's the thing where they crouch down and swing the guitar by their ankles, especially the bassist. I usually associate that with late 90s nu-metal.

Rap songs that have the year in the lyrics.

1991, we in effect

6/21/2011 2:47:54 PM

I love it when they mention the year, but only if they work it into a rhyme

HOW MANY HOES IN NINETY FO' WILL I BE BANGIN?

Let me take you back to seventy three BEFORE I EVER HAD A MULTI PLATINUM SELLING CD

FUCK YOUR LIFE hop on my 98 dirt bike

6/21/2011 2:51:52 PM

because "FUCK YOUR LIFE hop on my [18]98 pennyfarthing" just doesnt work the same...

sirens in songs. Anytime I'm in the damn car when this happens I spend the next few seconds looking around trying to find the emergency vehicle.

Also, I grow weary of the scratchy, vinyl-sounding intro into a modern song. It might have been innovative when done on Wish You Were Here in 1975 (and I don't think any song since has used it to better effect.)

shouting instrument names before their solo
"GUITAR!"
or the name of the person playing said instrument
"CC pick up that guitar and a-talk to me!"

6/21/2011 4:46:14 PM

"this the remix baby!"

Not remixes themselves, just announcing that it's the remix has always been funny to me.

6/24/2011 10:52:10 PM

^^ mostly annoying

sometimes awesome, though

ex: "play it, steve!" in "soul man" by sam & dave

6/24/2011 11:06:46 PM

^^I especially lolled@ "Ignition (Remix)"

6/25/2011 12:05:58 AM

I'm pretty tired of movie soundbytes being put into the beginning, middle, or ends of songs.


and yes, I say this fully aware of my username namesake and the song "civil war"

6/25/2011 1:07:06 AM

i'm gonna have to go with the first reply and say those annoying horns in a lot of rap songs

what are they anyway?

6/25/2011 7:03:22 AM

I hate the 'drown out' of the song and the 'comeback' afterwards - Katy Perry and Ke$ha wears this one out.

You can thank "Hey Jude" and "Suspicious Minds" for that old trick
