The Skip ButtonRisk it for the Biscuit: Why Do People Hate Limp Bizkit?In recent months, Nü Metal band Limp Bizkit has received something of a reappraisal: "Woodstock 99: Peace, Love, and Rage", a documentary on HBO, highlighted their role in the carnage that was Woodstock 99, they went viral for their recent appearance at Lollapalooza, and they just released a new album. Despite the fact that they were one of the highest-selling and most influential bands of the late '90s, people have always gone after the band for being "immature", "talentless", and "violent". The question is, is any of that true, and does any of it matter? In this episode, I speak w...2021-11-0736 min
The Skip ButtonSettlers of Quétaine: Why Do People Hate Céline Dion?Throughout the 90's, very few pop artists had a run as impressive as Céline Dion: Grammy awards, record-breaking album sales, a number of successful movie soundtracks, a gargantuan, international fanbase, and so on. And yet, lurking in the underground of American culture was a large and loud cohort of people who were convinced she was the epitome of everything wrong with the mainstream.
On this episode of The Skip Button, I try to get to the bottom of why she was public enemy #1 to so many people, and whether or not those people w...2021-07-0656 min
Foreign Invader / Movie MarriageForeign Invader 12: Drake with Ben BarzilaiDrake is one of the biggest pop artists working today. I think you could make the case he's the most successful pop musician of the last decade. He's been certified as the highest digital sales artist in the US and holds a gazillion records with the Billboard charts. And he's from Canada! Isn't that crazy? To talk about this very famous man, I am joined by Ben Barzilai. He is the host of The Skip Button, a wonderful podcast covering some of the most critically reviled artists in pop music, including Coldplay, The Black Eyed Peas, and of course...2021-05-061h 11The Skip ButtonThe Worst Soy Latte: Why Do People Hate Train?For over 20 years, the band Train has been a mainstay on radio and Billboard charts, selling over 10 million albums and 30 million tracks worldwide. Yet, they are a constant source of frustration for people who think their music is safe and their lyrics are cringey and lazy. I talk to friends and music critics to find out how they got this reputation, and if it actually holds up to a deep dive into their music. Along the way, I ask questions like:
Is Patrick Monahan a self-aware lyricist? Is "Hey Soul Sister" about tokenizing a black woman? Can...2021-04-1947 minThe Skip ButtonAgainst Bald Odds: Why Do People Hate Phil Collins?Corny. Shallow. Sell-out. Dad. These are only a few of the names that Phil Collins - one of the best selling artists of the 80's - has been called.
On this episode of The Skip Button, I do a deep dive into the multi-faceted career of the prog-rocker turned pop icon and try to investigate some theories as to why he became such a musical pariah. Along the way, I ask questions like:
Did Phil Collins ruin Genesis? Is there a post-Phil Collins artist? And is the balding mullet a look?
2021-02-1941 minThe Skip ButtonMediocre Gods Are Crazy: Why Do People Hate Paris Hilton?Paris Hilton has been an American punchline for almost two decades, so when it comes to her music career, few people were willing to give her a chance. I do a deep dive into her pop album and her DJ career to see if that was a mistake. Along the way, I ask questions like:
Did Scott Storch ruin Paris Hilton’s album? Is the backlash against her DJ career sexist? And how many connections can Ben make between Paris and Shaq?

The Skip ButtonHow to Infect a Life: Why Do People Hate the Chainsmokers?When The Chainsmokers took the stage at The Hamptons this summer for a not-so-socially-distant concert, it seemed to do nothing more than remind many people what they already knew: These guys suck.
Now that the EDM-Pop duo seem to be past the peak of their powers, I talked to some friends about what makes them and their music so insufferable. Along the way, I ask questions like:
Do people hate their music, or them? Did you know Priyanka Chopra had a singing career? And.. really? 17.34 inches?

Yet, when he dropped "Rebirth", his self-professed rock album, all of that seemed to go away. Critics and fans alike tossed the album aside, with Rolling Stone calling it "One of the worst albums of the year." But what was initially hated and forgotten about might have maybe the most prophetic rap album of the century.
10 years later, I went back and tried to figure out why people hated "Rebirth" so much. I had the help of some friends, including Shanell, a Young Money artist featured...2020-08-0250 minThe Skip ButtonLive. Love. Birds: Why Do People Hate Coldplay?When the NFL announced that Coldplay was going to play the 50th Superbowl Halftime Show, people lost their damn minds. So much so that one brave journalist, Matt Cantor from The Guardian, felt the need to come out as a Coldplay fan, and defend the band's decade-and-a-half-long career. Why did people hate them so much that it took all these years to admit to being a fan? I sat down with Cantor, as well as some good friends, to discuss the band's ever-evolving and ever-hated sound.

So why after all these years are we still giving them such a hard time?
I called some friends who ranged from casual cynics, to low-key fans, to seasoned Folk artists, and chatted with them about why the band's music feels so contrived, and why maybe that's not such a big deal. Along the way, I asked questions like:
Are Mumford & Sons trying to hack our brains? Did the band do Folk music any good?

But the REAL fans know that the true MVP of the boy band was JC Chasez. So why is it that when JC dropped his solo album, "Schizophrenic" in 2004, everyone tossed it in the trash?
I asked *NSYNC fan and resident big sister, Maya, to talk about all the reasons JC was pushed to the side, as well as all the reasons he should have risen to the top. Along the way, we asked questions like:

But seriously.... what does he do?? I sat down with my friend Mete and Miami-bred DJ's Gabe and Kevin to discuss all the ways DJ Khaled has irritated the American public, as well as all the ways he's entered our hearts . Along the way, we ask questions like:
How did a broke Palestinian-American from Miami get so many famous friends? Is DJ Khaled washed? Is the "I'm So Hood" remix the greatest rap song of all time? (Spoilers: yes it is.)

They’re also considered to be the most annoying. I asked my friends Matt and Aj to talk about the group’s many phases and see if any of the hate holds water. Along the way we ask questions like:
Did Fergie ruin the group? Is Labor Day the hot new holiday? And what the hell is a Apl.De.Ap?

So why do people across generations and oceans love hating on them? I invited my friend and self-professed U2 fan, Alex Sganga to talk about the band and their legacy. Along the way we asked questions like:
