REGION 1 Puff Daddy Will Smith REGION 2 Sublime Meatloaf REGION 3 Michael Jackson LL Cool J REGION 4 Mariah Carey NSync Region 4 was extremely hard. I hate them all so much. But eventually I went with Mariah because she was more shrill and NSync because I remember some of their songs and 98 Degrees has slipped out of my memory into oblivion. ---

I hate Sublime because every goddamn radio station I like listening to plays the same three songs by them over and over and over and over and over… ---

> [@MrDibble](#): > > I hate them because prison rape isn’t the appropriate punishment for date rape. Also, did _not_ like the singer’s voice. And I _love_ ska. That song really is terrible, isn’t it? Always makes me cringe if I can’t change the station. It’s not even the prison rape part at the end (which is especially cringe-worthy.) It’s the totality of the hamfisted lyrics, and I just can’t not hear them, as much as I try to avoid listening to the actual lyrics of pop songs in general. ---

The line about her only family being her … actual family, sans mother, is just terrible. I think it’s the lyrics that I hate most about Sublime. They’re the only group on this list that I genuinely never want to hear ever again.
