Notes:
- Feature songs released between Jan 1 2016 to Dec 31 2016 are eligible
- This is based on my personal opinion - I mean there's a reason it's MY LIST. Please do not take any offense from what I think of. Strictly my own thoughts
- Contrary to some weird belief, I don't believe that my music taste is better than anyone else's, although I have no idea if it's useful to post that because every year there are some idiots crying about their favs. This list is for you all to have some fun and laugh at possible comments I make. Yes, I did have a lot of experience in music, going to music school etc., that doesn't make my opinion more valid than anyone else's.
7. Hello Venus - Glow
Honestly even just by looking at the thumbnail I knew what was coming, a typical bullshit mid-tempo turned into slow-tempo, below 70 BPM song with a crappy backing track. Throughout the music video I'm pretty certain that at least one of the members falls asleep, and that's not a surprise because this dull, EXTREMELY boring release was definitely not something Hello Venus girls wanted, unless they wanted a break from having cheoreography. The one thing you can say positively about this is that there are no vocal olympics, but that makes the tune itself even more unremarkable, that's why this is higher on this list than Lee Hi's "Breathe."
6. NCT 127 - Fire Truck
What an obnoxious song. This left-field experiment by SM trying to be different certainly doesn't work as greatly as with f(x), mostly because all the tracks NCT 127 are given are absolute garbage. Honestly, not only is this song hideous with the backing track, also the bad use of vocals and lyrical brainfart show us how terrible this song is - I mean, "Hey yay yay yay" verse not only is musically lazy, it is also sung in the most inappropriate way in terms of the song as a whole. The rest of the product is definitely not as bad as the part that I mentioned, but they are all pretty subpar in almost every aspect - the pre-chorus is turned up a notch, but it's the same bullshit farting noises all over again, while the drop is just really something the production team must have scratched out of Lee Soo Man's old and saggy balls.
5. EXO - Lotto
Speaking of Mr. Soo Man, he definitely knows how to promote his artists to the extent that all the brainwashed idiots enjoy songs as terrible as "Lotto," just because EXO is EXO. The autotune is used rather improperly here, but that's not the biggest problem with this, it's just the fact that the song itself has never been good from the starting point. It's been well-documented that their fangirls (and fangays) are probably the most annoying groups of people that our planet offers - I can't deny that most of them are quite attractive, but if their music sucks, it's game over.
4. Taeyeon - Rain
SM really is doing a brilliant job in terms of delivering worthless music. This was the first release from their STATION project, and boy...I knew that if Taeyeon went ballad, it was bound to be terrible, but I didn't expect something THIS BAD. Her mild-rock release "I" was surprisingly great, so I knew that the minute she'd go down that route again, SM was destined to get the song so wrong. On the other hand, who can blame them, I bet most of the ballads from STATION were some leftover junk that nobody ever bothered to release as main comebacks or singles mainly due to the lack of quality, and with Taeyeon being the first in line to participate in this, they realised that this was easy money right away.
