Songs that aged poorly

Got any songs that didn’t stand the test of time? Songs that are so embarrassing that you turn off the scrobbler before you listen? I’ve got a few but I want to hear from y’all too. This is my contribution.

This is one of those loud-kei bands before loud-kei was an official thing, most famous for being one of Yoshiatsu’s earlier bands. The guitars are definitely aggressive but the music is simplistic by today’s heaviness standards. The vocals…are a trip. These used to pass for harsh vocals once upon a time! I mean, he tried. And the chorus is literally SPARKS BONE. Someone tell me what “sparks bone” is supposed to mean…

A perfect example of when not knowing what they’re saying improves the song.

Bonus one because I just remembered it. I will never not take the opportunity to make fun of this song. Tsuzuku sounds like fucking Donald Duck and it’s beyond hilarious. It didn’t exactly make waves upon landing because it’s a forgettable B-side at best. Probably one of MEJIBRAY’s worst songs. As time has passed, my opinion on this song has not wavered.

Lay it on me. What do you got?

i know i joke oshare never dies but i can make it thru 40% of this song before i skip. sorry mashiro. 14 year old me would be devistated

obligatory queen maria :nail_polish:t3: this and For You are probably rhe most offending. honestly 誓い by maria cross aged better and even then…

ummm does romantica count. bc this aged so badly the 6 year old bleu cheese in my fridge seems like a better option. this and kamijo are my sleep paralysis demon. i’ll be trying to fall asleep and hear YAOI…being whispered…

ICONIC, LEGENDARY, TERRIBLY AGED please, can we bring back forest kei??? $3 and a dream

As a Nightmare fan this song is embarrassing. Idk if 3 years is old enough to qualify as aging poorly but the cheesy synth here is straight up gross

I like it too but it’s something from the other universe :joy_cat:

The entirety of Sendai Kamotsu’s early in-jokes, I think if given more modern-day traction, will age like spoiled milk but I love them for their silliness and how they still try to grow up a little bit now!

Aged like milk, but it’s definitely a cheese for acquired tastes now.

Damn near everything that came from this era of 12012. Loved it when it dropped but now that i’m older, It was too drastic of a step from their usual style. And even in that final live, those songs stood out like a sore thumb in that setlist.

still my most listened-to song from them, i can’t help but headbang. maybe it’s the fact that when he sings in english it becomes an entirely different language …
