Anybody have a song that they absolutely can't stand and you have to change the radio station when it comes on?

The song might not be a bad song at all ( unlike Grandma got ran over by a Reindeer) and usually has decent to good reviews

However, there is something inexplicable about it that makes you hate it.

I have three off the top of my head: These songs are all older since I was an 80's child

Through the Years by Kenny Rogers

Walking on Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves

Holding back the Tears by Simply Red

Adele’s whole discography, although this cover is outstanding:

I like those above songs (not my favorites, but don't mind them).

Cringe this:


She seems very clingy on this video on a level that even makes the likes of me feel uncomfortable sometimes watching this music video.

I think cringing at things is effeminate behaviour. If something doesn't resonate, I just change the channel. I don't spend energy getting annoyed, I prefer not to spend my time on useless things.
