The ten worst EDM songs of 2012
Categories: Lists
4. Steve Aoki's "Livin' My Love" (feat. LMFAO and NERVO)
There were many tragedies this year, but nothing almost balanced all those natural disasters out quite like LMFAO finally breaking up and not making music anymore. As the opposite of King Midas, everything these two touch turns into a complete pile of crap, hence the reason they are listed on our worst songs list. Aoki, in all his strange phenom-fame, must have somehow been drugged and coaxed into making this aural garbage for a high price, because the song sucks, and is not like most Aoki tracks that actually perpetuate dancing.
3. Skrillex and Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley's "Make It Bun Dem"
Skrillex is undoubtedly the ambassador of mainstream dubstep to the masses. He brought a new sound that somehow resonated with kids, thus spawning a massive draw to EDM for everyone and their fat-walleted business partners. However, "Make it Bun Dem" is a weak attempt at merging reggae with his love of teeth-clenching noise, and it's more or less a clear indicator that his reign as Dr. Dubstep might be over. He'll still sell out shows thanks to his other songs, but this one? This one hurts to listen to.
