YIKES!
oh boy im gonna have to explain this one. ok here are some normal rules first tho
ok now. let me. explain.
i could explain this theme as guilty pleasures, but heavy on the guilt. specifically, this contest is for songs that genuinely make you feel guilty for liking them. not like, haha this song is so bad am i right you guys but i really like it tho lol. like, oh god i really shouldn't like this. i think i should go to jail. i don't want to support this but it slaps oh no what do i do
okay let me break that down a little better. probably this will fall into two basic categories but if you can convince me something else qualifies feel free to submit it and, uh, convince me.
songs where the artist (or someone else linked to the song) is a bad person who you don't want to support: is someone involved with this song a confirmed sex pest? was the artist jailed on assault charges? are you just really into the musical career of charles manson?? if you really dig a song but you're like "wow this person is awful i do not want to support their musical career monetarily. but also this song is really good. shit" it qualifies for this songtest!
songs with sketchy, unpleasant subject matter: i don't just mean like, songs about death or whatever here. i mean songs where the subject matter genuinely makes you uncomfortable and makes you question the artist in, uh, question, but you still dig the song. if you really dig a song but you're like "oh fuck i just looked up the lyrics and oh god what if the artist actually believes this, oh no, but i still really like the song. shit" it qualifies for this songtest!
i know this is kinda a complicated theme. i get it. here's the short version: if it's a song you dig but it also makes you go yikes and/or you'd probably be canceled on tumblr for admitting to liking it: it probably counts. go with that.
anyway signups will go until lets say wednesday unless there arent enough signups or like i feel like waiting longer but lets say wednesday for now. send songs via discord pls i hate dealing with board PMs. bold = has not yet submitted. ok love u all see u later
