This guy asked the people of Reddit whether or not he was in the wrong for his song choice at a friend's wedding. It sounds like heavy metal could've been a tough choice for the crowd. People seem to be suggesting that it was a jerk move, with them knowing what the song was about. You be the judge.

Every artist has their own idea of what people will like. Whether or not these people were successful in their day, it's clear that their album art has not aged well with the passage of time. Some of these unfortunate covers look like mugshots. Here are more creepy and weird album covers of the past.
This bar code reader is connected to a a speaker rather than a cash register, and scanning different bar codes generates different sounds. It sounds like it makes good impromptu techno. Pretty cool.
Maroon 5 can feel like bit of a contradiction. It's on every radio station. It gets stuck in your head. It plays in grocery stores. It's rock for your mom. It's certainly not bad, but maybe it's not exactly the greatest. This Tumblr user likens it to a deal with the devil. For more music stuff, here's a tumblr user doing the math to find out Ice Cube's "Good Day" as well as some concerts that didn't live up to the hype.
Anyone who's been to a few concerts has experienced that sinking feeling when they realize, "oh, god, these guys are not good live" and then you just have to bear through their set feeling different and realizing you spent too much money on a stupid thing. Sometimes it's not even the performance. Sometimes the artist just has no respect for their fans, or spends 30 minutes talking about conspiracy theories.

It looks like this guy is doing his best to coexist with the band next door. This could be the start of an entirely new style of music. Too bad the name Nine Inch Nails is already taken.

Let's take it back to 2012 when Machine Gun Kelly was an "up and coming" rapper who brought just the kind of unforeseen intensity to a performance that Microsoft simply never saw coming. Yes, apparently after MGK started shouting "f**k these computers!" while hopping between tables, he was escorted out by the police. At the very least, you can't say he didn't leave it all out there. Sometimes your show backfires and you end up being escorted out by the police. Talk about a real nightmare.
Elon Musk likes to keep it interesting on Twitter. He's regularly churching out surprising tweets about all kinds of crazy sh*t. And now Elon Musk has graced the world with a song, a song with the kind of track title that might just speak to the reality of some of the new music scene nowadays. Maybe he's just trolling Soundcloud rappers? Or maybe this is the start of a career in the music industry.

Billy Cobb did this striking rendition of Radiohead's "Creep," except the last half of every line was replaced by the google autofill results from the first half. Sounds pretty good. It's fun to know what people are searching.
Dear god it sounds like old world folk music mixed with animal abuse. If you couldn't nail down the tune, this hold music is actually shittyflute's rendition of Britney Spears' "Toxic"
Twitter users are trying their very best to make songs as annoying as possible. The process that goes into making a song excruciatingly annoying is far easier than you might think. Maybe some artists out there are actually just trolling the rest of the world with the most annoying songs they can make.
