Ranking the WORST video game Music of All Time (Again)

This is the track for jet set radio: https://youtu.be/dcp5gPf7mhI?si=WnvYT8MaqdQEN1w3 watch this at the same time in another window if you like. It got claimed so I swapped it out. Sad.

I was literally typing "damn, people really do hate jazz" during the persona theme, until the lyrics started 💀

I do find it funny how many people can't tell the difference between "a song that's unpleasant to listen to, on purpose" and "a song that's badly written/composed/performed." If a song makes your uncomfortable, and it's intended to make you uncomfortable, then it succeeded in its goal. See also: 90% of all music in the Silent Hill games.

honestly there's bad video game music that are bad on purpose, to get a sense of disconfort. I want bad music that is bad because it's BORING, I want the most uncreative generic fantasy field song

People really need to differentiate between worst songs ever, and songs they don't like

we're in the house like carpet with this one

I'm not convinced the submissions for this series know what bad music is. Most of these entries aren't that bad.

The Cheetahmen theme is by far the only good thing the game had to offer, im surprised it even got nominated.

I feel like the submissions for this series come in a few flavors: -Songs meant to be childlike/whimsical/anything with wooden whistles (Yoshi’s Woolly World, Dedede, etc) -Songs that are dissonant that are meant to be creepy or morose -Songs that are good, but too repetitive (character select screen, the march song “on the ground” from near the end of the video -actual bangers that have no reason being here Like, over the span of two videos, I’ve heard very little “bad” music

yeah, the entire existence of Cruelty Squad is to present how disgusting a world ran by corporations would be. Everything bad you can say about it is just window dressing for what the game represents. People die so much, that they're revived in flesh automatons, because death is not good enough of an excuse to miss an amazon warehouse workday. You kill a politician for introducing a single percent income tax to rich people. You kill the people you work for as a joke. The "upgrades" you buy can and do make your game actively worse. The only way you can reach happiness is by killing death, life and malice. Also one of the textures is just Elon Musk. It's also another game in the series of "what is going on in Finland, and why are their games been extra peek lately".

Fun fact about the Kirby song CROWNED. It’s actually the theme (obviously remixed) for the final boss of Kirby’s Return to Dreamland. The final boss eventually becomes reformed and makes theme parks for the different characters, including Dedede. Dedede’s Drum Dash is a deceptively hard rhythm game where you have to keep to the beat constantly. So a theme as fast paced as CROWNED makes for a VERY challenging final level. CROWNED is actually widely considered to be one of the best Kirby final boss themes. Though the first phase theme, Under My Control, is just as good too

MvC2 gets a pass for all the incredible mash ups and re-mixes that use "I wanna take you for a ride," as a sound bite.

Crazy how Cruelty Squad was on here but not Bog Business... sewerbros did we lose

That burning men's souls one had some of the goofiest lyrics I've ever heard. Pretty sure I heard "He's not a cover he's a quilt"

Check it out I'm in the house like carpet

I feel like Dedede's CROWNED is here because the original C-R-O-W-N-E-D is that much better.

I'd argue that Earthbound also has some of the BEST music the SNES has produced. Dungeon Man's weird-ass theme is technically supposed to be bad, because he himself wrote it. This is a man who wants to literally become a dungeon for people to traverse through, and the bad song fits his quirky, weird character. As I recall, he has a 'traveling theme' as well.

Context for Dungeon Man from Earthbound: He's a dungeon enthusiast who made a bad dungeon with a bad dungeon theme Also you really should react to the entire Drakengard 1 ost, it's insane, on purpose

"Check it out, I'm in the house like carpet" a lovely improv jazz was ruined the moment that the voice from beyond spoke those words.

That random unprovoked "turtle" thrown in to the lyrics was the cherry on top. Never cook again, whoever wrote these lyrics. Lmao
