    Released literally this week: On-lyne “Party of your lifetime”. It’s from an upcoming update for a game called Warframe, and it’s basically distilled 90s boyband earworm. It’s like Backstreet Boys and N Sync had a bunch of boy babies, fed them crack and taught them to sing. And for some reason I unironically LOVE it - I’ve been listening to it on repeat for hours, I need help :P

      Haha, there’s no help. That’s fantastic, I’m hit right in the boy band nostalgia! It’s kinda hard to believe sometimes how good video game music has gotten.

        Thing is, I want really a fan of boybands back then, so I have no idea why it hit me so hard now - I didn’t hate them, but I preferred other things. This song though, welp, hook, line and sinker. I even love the silly wink-wink-nodge-nudge lines like “boys are in sync” - I’m literally listening to the song as I write this, but the way :D

      Actually, no, as an adult, the lyrics to this song make me embarrassed to have ever be a KoRn fan

      Seriously…

      "I see the flesh, and it smells fesh, and it’s just there for the taking

      These little girls they make me feel so god damned exhilirated I feel them up I can’t give it up The pain that I’m just erasing…

      I tell my lies and I despise every second I’m with you"

      Reading this as an adult makes my skin crawl

        I always thought that was the intention.

        From what I’ve been able to understand, it’s supposed to be a reflection of how Johnathan felt about himself constantly hooking up with groupies (I think he was married as well while this was happening).

        Apparently the use of “little girls” isn’t meant to mean underage, but to berate the young women he was having sex with.

        How true any of this is will only be known by Johnathan and the women in question. We’d all love to think the best in the people we look up to, but they’re not always going to live up to expectation.

        “Don’t meet your heroes” and all that.

    Erasure - Always. Perhaps I’m mostly ashamed because of how I picked this song up, from an old Flash game. Or perhaps of the lyrics being kind of bad, but the musical part is so awesome that I can’t help it.

      ROBOT UNICORN ATTAAAAAAAAAAACK

      I think that was the first endless runner that I’ve played. It all felt so stupid, but so sublime

      I think everyone on 4chan was in love with that song when the flash game was hot, myself included.

        And me. (I was often in 4chan back then) Still, the song is still stuck in my head, after all those years.

    There’s nothing I listen to regularly that I’d be too embarrassed to make other people listen to. OTOH, I know that a lot of people won’t like the music I listen to, so I usually just wear headphones.

    The closest I have to a ‘guilty pleasure’ is HIM; the lyrics are pure goth-emo trash, but Vallo does some really good wordplay, has a very good range (…in the studio; he doesn’t sound nearly as good live), and the music has tons of pop-metal hooks.

    Pretty much anything by Kesha. I’m known, in my group of friends to be somewhat of a music snob and quasi audiophile… Kesha is a bit of a guilty pleasure for me.

      Just make sure you listen to her new stuff, she gets nothing from the old stuff, I think.

      New stuff is wild though, she certainly aged alongside me and I’m hear for it.
