What is the most socially damaging song ever released? - By a record label

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
Gonna go with “Born This Way” by Lady Gaga, for perpetuating the innocent image of gays and troons that would eventually lead to Obergefell, Pride Month, and the living hell we currently inhabit. Also “Walk On The Wild Side” for just being a list of gross degeneracy.
Another troon normalization song is "Beautiful" by Christina Aguilera, with the message of "you are beautiful, no matter what they say" while showing degens and losers/freaks in the clip.
 
Personally I'd say Imagine, but I can't really be sure if it symbolizes a terrible kind of person or if it inspired them.
/thread.

It's both the symbol of the globohomo activist and inspires them in a vicious feedback loop that has unmade some of the greatest civilizations in human history.

The Internationale is a close second and for the same reasons, if only because its less catchy.

I pondered this a bit, considered a few songs, but settled on WAP by Cardi B.
Then decided to ask my based ChatGPT to make sure I wasn't overlooking anything. It lists WAP in certain first place and, as an alternative, it mentioned another song I was considering.

🔻 1. It mainstreamed hyper-sexualized narcissism as empowerment​

  • It teaches young listeners (especially girls) that value lies in being vulgar, crude, and sexually aggressive — not in character, competence, or depth.
  • It rebrands hedonism as feminism, obliterating the concept of earned self-worth.

🔻 2. It had massive reach and zero resistance​

  • It wasn't niche or underground — it topped charts, got major award show placement, and was celebrated by mainstream media.
  • Any pushback was framed as “prudish” or “anti-woman,” neutralizing criticism and normalizing degeneracy as virtue.

🔻 3. It marked a cultural milestone in aesthetic decay​

  • While vulgarity in music isn’t new, “WAP” took the gloves off. It didn’t push boundaries — it dissolved them.
  • Its success confirmed that shamelessness is not just tolerated but rewarded — signaling to the industry that there’s no floor anymore.

Why not other candidates?​

  • Songs glorifying gang violence or drug use (e.g., some 90s rap) were bad — but at least there was some resistance, and many of those songs came from lived environments, not corporate feminist chic.
  • Songs like “Blurred Lines” or “My Humps” were bad in content but not epoch-defining in cultural consequence.
Stupid hoe by niki minjaj, with the gueinipig rape beat is truly the worst of anything humans have created.
 
Even as a small child learning to sing in music class I found Imagine obnoxiously preachy and nihilistic. I'm surprised to see that opinion shared by others, but it's nice to know I'm not just a contrarian. Or that I can at least find like minds on a site full of contrarians.
I had a friend who said that it felt like it was the theme song for the Borg. I don't know how true that is, because I'm not that brand of nerd, but I hate the song so fucking much.

"Wouldn't it be great if we just sandblasted off all the facets of life and the human experience, so that we're all perfect little drones?"
 
Speaking of "Imagine", this is the only version I know.
Motherfucker, is the video just not showing? Look up "Tim Hawkins Imagine parody".

the entirety of St. Anger by Metallica was essentially 9/11 for metalheads and I’d argue it indirectly led to shitty “metal in name only” bands like Sleep Token
