The NCAA has their One Shining Moment. We’ve got One Shitty Moment. It’s time to pick the loser of this tournament! [Round 1 is complete.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=751917) [Round 2 is complete.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=752233) [Round 3 is complete.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=752527) [Round 4 is complete.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=752821) [Round 5 is complete.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=753170) In this competition, I don’t give a crap about the “best” or “greatest.” I want to know the MOST LOATHED popular musical artist of the 1990s. That means in this match-up, you are going to vote for the musical act you HATE THE MOST! Let me repeat that: Don’t vote for your favorite; YOU WILL CAST YOUR VOTE FOR THE ARTIST YOU HATE MORE. We will be voting for artists with our vitriol, and will soon be left with the one musical act that cumulatively received the most amount of our pure, unadulterated hatred. The original pool of 64 candidates came from the top-selling artists and/or artists that had highly-reviewed albums and/or released multiple songs that somehow permeated the culture. Voting for this round will continue until 2:30pm on Wednesday, April 8. Which do you hate more? Puff Daddy vs. 98 Degrees ---

Puff Daddy it is. (In the background, the wife says “I _like_ 98 Degrees.”) ---
