For those of you that have followed Ethan's blog for the past three year, you would know he has some very unpopular opinions. Today, I'm counting ten of the most unpopular music opinions. These could be artists that he doesn't like that other people do, songs he loves that nobody else does, and anything in between. Let's get started!
#10 - "Billie Eilish - What Was I Bored For?"
#10 kicks us off with what will be a re-occuring theme - Ethan's inability to enjoy beautiful music. This one is only #10 as more people than Ethan hate this, but most people still love it, including myself, so I might be a bit biased here. It did take me some time to like it, because it is very slow, but Billie Eilish is an amazing singer and this song is one of the best examples of her great singing voice. Again, There's a few that also dislike this, but the supermajority love it. Let's go to #9!
#9 - "Party Rock Anthem is the 6th best song of all time"
I didn't always love Party Rock Anthem. I do enjoy it now, probably more than most, but I definitely wouldn't say it's the 6th best song of all time. I get it, you love Party loops. but there's nothing meaningful about this song. It's fun and that's about it, and that's what many people think.

#8 - "Knox Amazingness"
I hate to break it to you, but there's nothing amazing about this stupid wannabe Blink-182 redhead dude. He isn't The 1975, that's for sure, because even Ratty Healy has more talent than him. He's so bad, Mikey Piff loves him. That's how you know you f*cked up.

I am writing to you today to express my dismay for this artist, Knox. He is not a good musician, all he sings about is nothing. Yup, he can't even sing about anything relevant? So why are you playing him? How much did he pay you? Please let me know, we all need to know this answer.

#7 - "Tate MidRae"
This is likely Ethan's most confusing take, as he had 5 Tate McRae songs be his best song of the week, for a total of over 2 months. But I still don't understand how Tate McGreat can possibly be bad. Her vocals, her production, her tour, it's all top notch. There's a reason I'm seeing her for the third time next month. I know, I'm not biased at all.
#6 - "AJR Amazingness"
Ass Jaundice Rabies definitely deserve to be here. There's nothing appealing about "I'm Ready" where the little toddler yelling in my ear is the only noise i listen to for 3 minutes. They also blessed us with "World's Smallest Violin" which is one of about 3 recent songs my dad can't stand. That tells you how bad these people are. Not to mention they just run their songs on, with no apparent need for grammar. Their lyrics don't make any sense either.
#5 - "Anxiety is Doechii Amazingness"
I disagree. Anxiety, the most hated song of 2025, is most certainly NOT Doechii amazingness. The worst part about this song is that it stopped one of the best songs of 2025 from being an actual hit. It seems this has faded on Ethan's taste buds, but he still loved it by the end of it's run, so it gets a spot here.
P.S. I talked to Brady from SiriusXM for an hour and 20 minutes, and even he couldn't stand this song.
#4 - "Woman's World is Katy Perry Amazingness"
In all seriousness, and this is a genuine question: Do you still think it's amazing even after she went to space and all the controversy from that?
Alright, back to the...
#3 - "Eminem is the greatest rapper ever"
NOPE! Emidnem has made too much garbage in his life to even be considered one of the greatest rappers ever, let alone the greatest. He keeps recycling the same lines over and over again. Name another rapper who does that? Oh right, nobody, cuz nobody else does that! I've talked to well over 100 people by now about this, and they all say the same thing: You can't call someone great who makes as much garbage as he makes great songs. Sure, Lose yourself exists. Wanna know what else exists?
Oh my god, don’t even get me started on Houdini. That song is proof that just because Eminem can still rhyme fast doesn’t mean he should. It’s like he pulled out the same tired, early-2000s Slim Shady gag reel, dusted it off, and thought, “Yeah, this’ll kill in 2025.” Spoiler: it doesn’t.
The beat? Corny. It sounds like a rejected ringtone from a 2008 flip phone. The hook? Annoying. It’s him clowning around with a “look at me, I’m wacky!” vibe that feels so forced it’s painful. And the bars—don’t even get me started—half of them are cheap shock humor, the other half are him reminding you he used to be controversial. Bro, you’re not pushing the culture anymore, you’re recycling the same middle-school locker room jokes we’ve already heard for 20 years.
What’s worse is he tries to pass it off like a clever comeback to critics, like he’s Houdini escaping the haters. But honestly? It sounds like he’s locked himself inside his own outdated style, begging people to still think it’s edgy. Newsflash: it’s not 2002 anymore. Slim Shady antics don’t hit the same when you’re in your 50s. At this point, it’s dad rap cosplay.
And here’s the kicker: people defend this track by saying, “But look how technical he is!” WHO CARES if you can rhyme “balloon” with “cartoon” at hyperspeed if the song itself is unlistenable trash? Technical skill without good taste is just noise. Houdini is Eminem proving he can still juggle words—great, congrats—but also proving he has no idea what actually sounds good in 2025.
#2 - "Godbull"
A god has one name, not a gazillion. Shitbull doesn't even know what to call himself and what he wants others to call him. That's not god behavior. Maybe he has a few good, not great, songs, but he's not a god. In fact, Gods are supposed to help people, not sing about how much money you have in your song "I Feel Good" Pitbull, there's literally starving children in Africa, go help them with your millions of dollars instead of bragging about eventually going bankrupt which is what you'll do when you follow through with all your stupid promises you've made from all your songs. Again, he's not a god, god is Godson Boone and the Goddess is, well let's see.
#1 - "David Midner" - Daylight
Oh, you're telling me i'm the only one who likes Daylight? Okay, fine.
#1 - "Olivia Midrigo"
Ethan really showed how flop his opinions are when he said "GUTS was more Olivia Rodrigo midness". In fact, that comment was so bad, it got Ethan muted for 6 hours on the Hits 1 Discord server. the server typically put up with Ethan's shenanigans but saying GUTS was more Olivia Rodrigo midness was not just a step too far, it was 5,847,129 steps too far. Olivia's best album does NOT deserve those comments, and he's the only one who says that. Vampire is Olivia Godrigo amazingness. bad idea, right is Olivia Godrigo amazingness. get him back! is Olivia Godrigo amazingness. drivers license is Olivia Godrigo amazingness. traitor is Olivia Godrigo amazingness. obsessed is Olivia Godrigo amazingness. so american is Olivia Godrigo amazingness. good 4 u is Olivia Godrigo amazingness. deja vu is Olivia Godrigo amazingness. happier is Olivia Godrigo amazingness. And her new song "Ethan Sucks For Hating Me" will be Olivia Godrigo amazingness.
Well, that was all the terrible takes for now. If someone wants to make a list of MY terrible music opinions, go ahead, I want to read it.
naur 💀💀💀
