Shouldn't it be the other way around? I was very ashamed of liking Avril Lavigne, today I blast that banger whenever I feel like it π

So many artists growing up I was told it was shameful to listen to, but now fuck all of that. Gonna go listen to some avril myself!
I was watching fireworks last week, and this little girl said, βAvril Lavigne completes this!β and started singing Complicated. She was so excited!
Well it used to be slipknot/KoRn/Limp Bizkit etc etc, but now nu metal is cool with all the zoomers, so I'm no longer embarrassed of being a nu metal kid. It's been pretty cool to reconnect with that stuff without fear! Tbh there are a lot of KoRn tracks that slap, and you can hear their influence in a lot of the underground metal music I listen to. The band chat pile that's pretty popular right now cites KoRn as an influence. Limp Bizkit is still preeeeeetty fuckin bad though. I fuck with some tracks off of 3 Dollar Bill Y'all$, but so much of it is just corny as hell. System of a Down was always considered dope so they don't count
NuMetal may be cool among my generation, but Limp Bizkit has never been cool. They're impressive in how uncool they manage to make everything look

KoRn was my favorite band as a teen!
still enjoy their music even though I donβt seek out nu-metal as much as I used to
ARE YOU READY??!!

I just saw Korn live for the first time last year and it was a great show. They played a lot of their old stuff and really made me appreciate some of the early albums again. Don't care for their new music much, but then again and don't like most new music. I prefer stuff I already know. Must be an age thing.
Loved this stuff back in the day as well. I still do. I got to see Slipknot live at a festival a few years back and they put on one of the more impressive shows I've seen.

I wouldn't say I am ashamed, but I cannot believe I liked Insane Clown Posse and thought it was legitimately good music.
I thought Hollywood undead was the greatest band for a while....
Woop woop
Check out American Juggalo on YouTube if you haven't already
Cinematic masterpiece
Edit: actually this one is the cinematic masterpiece. I actually do wanna go to the Gathering

I bought the Hanson CD
but you know what, I ainβt ashamed! MMMbop was catchy and Iβll listen to whatever gets my body groovinβ
Haha that was one of my first CDs as well. Loved that shit
Avenged Sevenfold. As a full blown metalhead now, I cringe at my metalcore phase lol
A7X imo was great up through Nightmare. I've The Rev died, the sound changed too much and I really dislike their new stuff. I get it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I'm not sure what makes it "embarrassing".
I used to absolutely love Little Piece of Heaven in middle school, that song makes me cringe so fucking bad now. I wouldn't say everything they made was embarrassing (Shepard of Fire will always kick ass) but goddamn they have a few songs that just make you cringe.
I love A Little Piece of Heaven. Lyrics aside, I really enjoy the beat and sound scape of the song. In some songs the lyrics are the focal point, like So Far Away, but usually, I just think of lyrics as another instrument. If it sounds good and they aren't saying some bigoted shit or something like that, I don't really care too much.
I've been getting into the band Dayseeker recently and I love their sound, but lyrically, it's a lot a sad boi, break-up drama. To me that's a little worse than a song about jilted lovers stabbing each other, "50 fucking times", necrophilia, and undead marriage. Neither embarrass me though. If others around me find it cringy, which is reasonable, it doesn't make the song any less of a banger.

Oh man for whatever reason this is a top tier cringe band from my teen years lol. Used to jam them on my discman on my way to PE
I loved Milli Vanilli when I was about 14.
Showing my age here, but I remember waiting with my friend for "Blame it on the Rain" to play on the radio so I could tape it.
I bought the album (on tape).
Damn, me too and I was in the same age.
my first CD was N'Sync...
I remember bringing it into school for like a show and tell or something.
My music teacher paused for a bit after it was over and said, "well, they certainly were in sync" lol
I loved aqua. Barbie girl is obviously relevant with the movie out, so it's reminded me. However doctor Jones was also great for me at the time. I then went online and downloaded all their songs. It pretty much introduced me to mp3s. As an adult I still like it for the nostalgia and some of the lyrics are quite funny. Life in plastic, it's fantastic or You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere.
However, O would not be breaking out the aqua for a party or dinner with friends.
I have a giant playlist of songs that are cheesy and fun but not intolerable to listen to for me, to play when my kids are playing. It's got vheesey stuff like S club 7, which is probably more embarrassing than aqua, but don't stop movin is amazing. It also has upside down by the a*teens. I pick songs that have words or concepts that help learn music appreciation or language skills.
Things like ROYGBIV by public service broadcasting teaches colours sits beside Gwen Stefani Hollaback girl teaching spelling.
And b*witched for the denim.
Vanilla Ice and Milli Vanilli.
Just realized I did actually buy the Milli Vanilli album on tape when it came out. Then the Grammys happened and it was shameful.

I was a huge limp bizkit fan back in the day. Honestly didn't hate their newest album either.
fair, but I feel old Limp Bizkit is still kinda fun, I ust feel weird knowing I unironically listened to bands such as Black Veil Brides
God you guys have way less cringey pics than mine. Mine for sure has to be Blood On The Dancefloor. Loved them in early middle school, but the other day I looked up a song and it's completely unlistenable. Also, this well known internet clip came from a member of the group grooming a 12 year old and sending their rabid fan base after said 12 year old after she talks about it. Also released a FUCKING DISS TRACK AGAINST HER in response to the grooming allegations.

Definitely Smash Mouth (All Star and that one that goes "and then I saw here face, now I'm a believer)
Also that "Oops I farted again" song. Real cringe.
Same with when I used to watch Shane Dawson music video parodies.
"I'm A Believer" was originally by The Monkees - and both it and All Star are still great songs!

Simple Plan. They had some popular songs, but looking back, their lyrics were/are cringy. But on the upswing, they had good intention in them.

Courtesy of the Red White and Blue by Toby Keith. Post 9-11 America was weird.
I literally can't listen to that video now without cringing into a singularity, but way back in the day it was my jam.

Mumford and Sons. Their first few albums were unique, and a nice change from everything else. Then they turned around and shit on everyone that liked their music before turning into Coldplay
Their first few albums were already just generic folk pop but if they were your first generic folk pop band I can see it being a pretty novel sound. And I'll agree that their earlier stuff was better than their later stuff, but it still wasn't very good or very original
You know something about them that fucks with me? They're British, not American. It's not that I care that much, but considering the image of the band is based in American country makes it feel odd lol.
I was big into 311 in high school, before βAmberβ came out. I still think βdownβ is a decent song but I donβt think I could bring myself to listen to any of the rest of their catalogue.
My taste in music mostly stayed the same since childhood. I just like more genres now.
I am really into EDM, old EDM songs from popular subgenres oftentimes feel "outdated" in a sense.
For non-EDM enjoyers, its all beeps and boops anyways tho.
I'm curious what old songs you might be thinking of? I was a wannabe raver in middle school and an actual one at the end of highschool lol. I may know what's up
