What are your guilty pleasures in music? Those songs you just can't help to like even if it doesn't match your overall favorite genre.

Im a rock and metal fan all live (even as a little child I like it) but I just can't help but move my head up with every single remix theme from the Mortal Kombat movie!

Aqua. Words can't describe how much I hate myself for liking Aqua. However, I keep going back; it's like musical Stockholm syndrome.

Anaconda.

I'm totally fucking serious.

Moves Like Jagger is probably one of my favorite pop songs made in like my life-time but I hardly listen to it because even if I'm in total privacy with my ear buds in I feel heavy embarrassment hearing it. Overall it's with modern pop songs that are widely hated (mainly by the "wrong generation" crowd) like Katy Perry (more the stuff from the beginning of her fame, I hate her music now), Lady Gaga (love lady gaga to death), Rihanna, and Beyonce. (well, Beyonce doesn't receive that much hate but I still feel guilty when I like her songs for some reason)

M9 get on my level

Ninja Sex Party.

It's stupid, juvenile, cheesy, and I can't get enough of it.

Smash Mouth is my guilty pleasure.

This song right here. I don't have Aspergers myself or hate anyone with it (hell, Savant himself has Aspergers and made this song just to make fun of it) but I find myself just losing my shit every time I listen to it. Not really sure why, but it's got a decent beat and is an alright song in general, if not slightly hilarious or offensive.

Don't ask me why but I find myself singing this to myself the most of any other song. I can't ever get that high F down though. But I still try to go for it anyways.

Blood on the Dance Floor.

Yes that "edgy looking" scene band that managed to survive post-MySpace. Why? I think it's a combination of me having an unironic liking for some of their more catchy songs ("Call me Master," and a decent number of songs from Dahvie Vanity's side project "Master of Death"), or finding some of their stuff "so bad it's good" ("Yo Ho" is such a silly rap song about pirates and sex that it's hilarious). Hell I actually find their cover of Lil Wayne's rock song (yeah remember when Lil Wayne did rock for one album?) "Knock Out" better than the original (though I found a mashup that keeps Nicki Minaj's parts from the original, which I think also still sounds better compared to the original version with Lil Wayne).

I know there was that controversy that supposedly Dahvie Vanity slept with underage teenage groupies, but I've also been hearing those were really just lies spread by people who already had some kind of grudge against him, and at least one incident where a teenager did try and claim underage sexual intercourse was later proven false by the very teenager herself when she was asked to appear in court, which resulted in BOTDF making a song about the incident called "U Dun Goofed."

All those stupid pop songs made in the early 2000s with the animals singing them (Hamster Dance, Crazy Frog) are honestly pretty catchy, as absolutely dumb and saccharine as they are.

Also, I LOVE Foreigner to a slightly unhealthy extent. They're a decent band but nothing super amazing but every time I listen to them it's like I have to go into full dork mode. IT'S UUUUURGENT

……Bollywood. Something about rocking sitars and those dance drums just works so well. That and the high production values on the videos.

That is all.

Attila,a deathcore band full of whites trying to be black

Call me edgy, but Linkin Park amuses me even to this day.

Especially this song.

Unfortunately my sisters crappy music rubbed a little bit off on me.

I unironically like this song

Really the whole bloody album is good

There are several pop songs that I happen to like, as well as getting slammed by people like Todd in the Shadows. But I simply can't help it, I enjoy these songs

THIS FRIGIN SONG:

Everytime I hear it (don't know how), reminds me of barbara and her sisters from Rayman Legends.

sometimes I just need to listen to utter nonsense…

What is love: I love the bloody song, even if it's a bit cheesy.

Wake me up inside: Liked it for a long time, never really grew out of it.

In general, Die Antwoord. As a whole, they're… "something" but i'll admit i like their song "Enter the Ninja"

At one point, I listened to a bit of One Direction. Yep, those guys everybody hates. I find them inoffensive enough and their tunes are catchy so I don't have a problem with them.

Aside from that, my biggest guilty pleasure would be "With Arms Wide Open" by Creed. It's one of two songs I remember the most from my childhood, and listening to it makes me feel nostalgic. Makes me a bit sad to hear people tagging it as a bad song, but hey that's life I guess. :P

EDIT: Add "MMMBop" by Hanson to the list. It's just so much fun to listen to!

Favorite mashup and I have both separate songs on my iphone including the mashup.

Another guilty pleasure is a sped up version of Phoenix

I absolutely hate that I've started getting into vocaloid music lately.

anything by chief keef

At first I listened to Eminem ironically, but then I started getting into it.

mom's spaghetti

Beat this.

Arctic Monkeys and Big Sean

The butt rock in the 3D Sonic games is so stupid, but so goddamn awesome at the same time. I genuinely like all those dumb songs, even Escape from the City.

Nightcore.

Some things by Monstercat are actually pretty fine

Green Day.
I still can't get over this album.

Also this is a genuinely great band.
