It's already August, and I think it's safe to say that, unlike Sabrina Carpenter's "Espresso" last year, there is no defining hit of summer 2025 thus far. That is, unless you count the "Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday!" song, I guess.

We don’t get a song of the summer this year because we were bad

It's not an exaggeration to say that Twitter (now X) is a bit of a flaming dumpster fire sometimes, so I've taken it upon myself to bring you the Discourse of The Week™️ myself. This time, everyone is fighting over which song(s) are "the worst of all time."

Here are 11 of the most popularly-hated songs (and one absolutely beloved song). I'm genuinely curious if you agree.

1. First up, the clip that started it all — "Home" by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros.
