I hate song titles that are long for the sake of it, and attempt to appear kooky and profound.

I also hate those duets married musicians do when they stare and smile at each-other in that diabetes-inducing way through the whole song.

And rap songs that make tenuous and nonsensical references to films/songs/video-games/political movements/branded food items and then compare themselves to said items through one description that they apparently have in common.

^ I'd like to see those. They sound fun.

My pet peeve is when singers intentionally break Standard American English grammar rules such as by singing "was" instead of "were" or by using double negatives incorrectly...for example, "I don't have no [insert word]." I also don't like songs that use "ain't."

I suspect such singers are trying to sound cool or hip and "part of the masses," but the anti-intellectualism pisses me off. I especially find it annoying when a singer speaks using Standard American English but then sings using African American Vernacular English. GAA!

^ Summarizing, I generally don't like songs that use African American Vernacular English (AAVE)
African American Vernacular English - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

(Ironically, I just read that the words "cool" and "hip," which I used in my post, are both slang words contributed to Standard American English by African American Vernacular English, so I guess I don't dislike *all* AAVE. )

I considered it, but that gif is played out and the kid is ugly.

I know it's used for emphasis, but I still get annoyed anytime a rapper rhymes a word with the same exact word in the next line. It just can't help but sounding lazy and dumb.

Agreed, but not just in rap. Anywhere I hear it.

Also, I agree with he above who said pop punk vocals.

Yes! Also, people who rhyme the same syllable line after line. 99% of the time that just sounds supid an unimaginative to me.

A lyric I hate from an album I love:

"I would drown all these crying babies, if I knew that their mothers wouldn't cry".

- The worst lyric ever, by Vinnie Accardi.
