It does sound like the vocalist is drunkenly going all in on karaoke on his own song.

-TVU/Lou Reed: Lou was a hack and an ass, and the rest of the band besides Cale were pseudo-intellectual hacks too
-Kiss: I get why people might be nostalgic about Kiss if they were 7-9 years old when kiss was big, but it’s a cringey, capitalistic gimmick to me
-Bruce Springsteen: seems like a decent guy, but it’s the blandest music I’ve ever heard, with terrible vocals, and sometimes some really corny sax playing.
-Yes: I’ve tried, but I hate it. I love Bill Bruford, and I love Jon Anderson’s vocals in other stuff, but Yes is just unlistenable to me. And Steve Howe slightly rubs me the wrong way.
-Peter Gabriel-era Genesis: I love Peter Gabriel; I love Phil Collins-era Genesis; I dig Steve Hackett. Something about the Gabriel-era Genesis just doesn’t work for me. People rave about it being the upper echelon of prog rock, but it sounds amateurish to me— it doesn’t sound brilliant to me; it sounds like a group of 14 year olds discovered prog rock and tried their best to mimic the tropes of it without really knowing what they’re doing. People say Watcher of the Skies is the ultimate Mellotron song, but it feels like the most tepid, uninspired, and downright boring use of a mellotron I’ve ever heard. I wish I could get it, but it’s a slog for me to listen to.

I remember when Old Town Road came out and was subject to a LOT of hype and media coverage, winning awards left and right, getting certified diamond, and surpassing Miriah Carey for selling the most singles.
Hearing it made me worry about the tik-tok-ification of music which I hate saying because I am not a boomer. It was one of the most disappointing experiences I ever had.

I'm a fan of his videos more than the music, which I agree is pretty generic and forgettable. The videos are hilarious, though.

I know this is more of a jingle than a song but I know for sure it's not on @Feral Feline 's playlist.

I was just talking about this with my wife the other day. I don't know why exactly but for some reason "The Sign" (Ace of Base) always just drives me up a wall.
