"A Truly Vile Song": 11 Songs People Think Are "The Worst Of All Time," And One That Caused A Debate For Being Included
It's already August, and I think it's safe to say that, unlike Sabrina Carpenter's "Espresso" last year, there is no defining hit of summer 2025 thus far. That is, unless you count the "Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday!" song, I guess. Twitter: @RACH4_theSTARZ It's not an exaggeration to say that Twitter (now X) is a bit of a flaming dumpster fire sometimes, so I've taken it upon myself to bring you the Discourse of The Week™️ myself. This time, everyone is fighting over which song(s) are "the worst of all time." Here are 11 of the most popularly-hated songs (and one absolutely beloved song). I'm genuinely curious if you agree. up, the clip that started it all — "Home" by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. Here are some of its lyrics: Related: 2."Dance Monkey" by Tones and I. A hundred thousand people liked this post calling it "the closest thing to an objectively dogshit song." Here are some of its lyrics: 3."All About That Bass" by Meghan Trainor got 67,000 likes. Here are some of its lyrics: 4."Rude" by MAGIC! got 74,000 likes. Here are some of its lyrics: Related: 5."Sweet Caroline" by Neil Diamond Here are some of its lyrics: 6."Cheerleader" by OMI Here are some of its lyrics: 7."Anxiety" by Doechii Related: Here are some of its lyrics: 8."The Fox (What Does the Fox Say?)" by Ylvis Here are some of its lyrics: 9."Tag, You're It" by Melanie Martinez Here are some of its lyrics: 10."All Summer Long" by Kid Rock Here are some of its lyrics: Related: 11."Hey, Soul Sister" by Train Here are some of its lyrics: finally, there was one song that was tossed into the mix, but Twitter users ended the conversation around it FAST. It was, of course, "Hey Ya!" by OutKast. People DO NOT play about that song. So, do you agree? Here are some of its lyrics: Are there any "worst songs ever" we missed? Or do you wholeheartedly believe one of these does not deserve such a title? Give us your hot takes in the comments below! Also in Internet Finds: Also in Internet Finds: Also in Internet Finds:

What to see at the 2025 Tribeca Festival
How to choose? That's the welcome dilemma the Tribeca Festival offers us every year, and the 24th edition—which begins on June 4 and runs through June 15—is as packed as ever. Festival programmer Vincent Cassous calls Tribeca 'a bridge between different viewpoints and cultures,' but the fest's famously expansive reach also spans genres, mediums and even—name be damned—neighborhoods. Actually, the lineup is so vast that organizers dropped 'Film' from the festival's original title several years ago. But cinema still remains at the center, with literally hundreds of shorts, features, and documentaries on offer. That said, any Tribeca event is designed to be a full experience; as Cassous says, 'The films don't end with the credits!' In other words, stick around for a second act—which at this fest could include an insightful conversation about the movie you just watched, or a full-on concert from the film's subject. The main exception, sadly, was Wednesday's opening night entry, the intimate biography Billy Joel: And So It Goes. Joel has, unfortunately, had to cancel upcoming appearances while he recuperates from a brain injury. However, this year's program is packed with music docs, and fans of Eddie Vedder (Matter of Time) Billy Idol (Billy Idol Should Be Dead), Becky G (Rebbeca), and De La Soul and Rakim (The Sixth Borough) can expect live performances at the films' premieres. (Planned appearances are listed on the site, but it's worth noting that stars and filmmakers often surprise audiences by popping into secondary screenings as well.) Other documentary subjects who'll remain for post-premiere conversations include Ty Dolla $ign (Still Free TC), members of Metallica (Metallica Saved My Life), and Miley Cyrus and Slick Rick, both of whom will be bringing new visual albums. You'll spot musicians elsewhere too, including behind the camera: Anderson .Paak (K-Pops!), Logic (Paradise Records), and Nora Kirkpatrick of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros (A Tree Fell in the Woods) are all making their feature directorial debuts. Demi Lovato is costarring in the drama Tow (though it's Rose Byrne who pulls off the tour de force central performance, about an unhoused woman). And Kid Cudi will be sharing his new short film in a music video program that also includes LL Cool J and Jack White. Another theme that pops up a lot this year is family, both on- and off-screen. Spouses Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon flirt in the shaggy dramedy The Best You Can, Steve Zahn costars with daughter Audrey in the lovely drama She Dances, and Gideon Grody-Patinkin captures his parents Mandy Patinkin and Kathryn Grody in Seasoned, an expansion of their charmingly bickerish viral videos. Mariska Hargitay explores her Hollywood legacy in the personal doc My Mom Jayne, and you can bring your own crew for the family-oriented premiere of How to Train Your Dragon. Kids will also enjoy the 25th anniversary screenings of Meet the Parents and Best in Show —though you may want to leave them at home for retrospective showings of American Psycho, Casino and Requiem for a Dream. But wait, there's more: You can also catch sneak peeks of shows like The Gilded Age, Godfather of Harlem, and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Explore immersive gaming and virtual reality installations. And attend talks with the likes of Lena Dunham and Michelle Buteau, Mark Ronson and Wyclef Jean, Lena Waithe, Sandra Oh and Sam Rockwell. We know, it's a lot. And we haven't even gotten to Marc Maron baring his soul in the documentary Are We Good, the double dose of Dylan O'Brien that broke the internet when his dramedy Twinless was leaked earlier this year, Willem Dafoe and Camila Morrone in Patricia Arquette's biopic Gonzo Girl —well, you can see why senior programmer Liza Domnitz's primary advice for anyone trying to narrow down their options is pretty straightforward: 'Don't panic!' This goes double, btw, for anyone already overwhelmed by decision fatigue: even if your pick is sold out, every event has a rush line, which often allows entry at the very last minute. The Tribeca Festival runs from June 5–June 16. Tickets are available at other than the Beacon Theatre and United Palace. The Rush system functions as a standby line that will form at the venue approximately one hour prior to scheduled start time. Admittance is based on availability and will begin roughly 10 minutes prior to program start time.
