inspired by

https://awful.systems/comment/2382662

from the link, we obtain HODL gang and versace bedouin (which might be the worst song I've ever heard period).

I would also like to add predatory capitalist feminism anthem WAGMI.

on an ideological level I would nominate the technofascist propaganda piece we appreciate power. banger tho

'We are all gonna make it' while wearing an NFT shirt, such a timecapsule of a dumb age. Wait, that was last year?

Technofascist propaganda? Can I offer you a noosphere?
I look forward to the fruits of this thread and I am already sure that every single song deserves recognition for having more effort put into it than typing a prompt into a shitty generative ai text field
well this sure is a thread of things i will never click on

(because I probably have before)
- I’m waiting for night to fall so I can hook my headphones up to the good amp and torture my brain with these directly
  
  we have an acausal robot god for that sort of thing, you don't need to do it to yourself
@sc_griffith Everything about this is incredible https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7W0Tj4Ln4w
The only tech song I ever knew about was Weird Al’s “All About the Pentiums”. I didn’t realize there were other actual songs
- that's a banger
without any apology, have this remarkable entrant: the vmware tanzu song

I've kept it around in the archives, even (especially?) though they tried to disappear it.
- the original. I see it's back to Unlisted now, for a while it was unloadable
  
  that's daft punk
@sc_griffith Oh yeah these too https://www.emfcamp.org/schedule/2018/457-the-art-and-science-of-the-motivational-corporate-anthem
NB, I know you specified “worst” but I can’t help but think the personae of some JoCo songs are tech bros:

The list goes on.
- Yeah Coulton is pretty good at articulating some of the darker parts of geekdom. You just know the protagonist of "Code Monkey" is just a step from installing a RAT on his crush's computer.
Does https://youtu.be/yIL9wLxG01M and its various remixes count?
- vox populi vox dei

  We are allowing remixes?
