She Hates Me is one of the worst songs of all time.

I Stand Alone is horrible too, but She Hates Me is a whole different level of suck.

Godsmack got it easy in this tourney if you ask me, their competition has been so unbelievably bad that I’ve been handing this boring Metallica in Chains tribute band votes.

"She Hates Me" is pretty bad but at least it's somewhat tuneful unlike "I Stand Alone." It's horrendously derivative of Nirvana, and totally misses the point of what they were doing. And it's even worse when you see the terrible lyrics written out in the subtitles. "No feeling of bad." What?

Swap Metallica for Nirvana in the above sentence, and you can say pretty much the same thing about this Godsmack song. A plodding riff that is amazingly dull with a pseudo-Eastern vibe that feels extremely played out. Sully's vocals and lyrics are up to the usual standard of being painful to the ear.

"She Hates Me" because it's so painfully unaware, and as I said it's vaguely tuneful.

She Hates Me sounds like it could have been a Weird Al song that spoofed on this entire genre

Haha, it really does.

She Hates Me is at least pretty fun, the Godsmack song is just a dirge.

Why the disappointment? It sounds like this might actually make the song more enjoyable.

I meant “fuck” less like “fuck, my favorite song is fucking ruined” and more like “fuck, you’re fucking right, holy fuck”

Oh, gotcha.

And I was wrong, it's not making it any more enjoyable.

Every generation needs its "She Hates Me", and its a worthy successor to Ugly Kid Joe's "(I Hate) Everything ABout You"

This song is necessary to humanity's development.

pretty funny video too. the other one is Scorpion King.

I have no idea what "in a trap trip I can't grip" means though.

I'm especially fond of this passage:

She was queen for about an hour
After that shit got sour
She took all I ever had
No sign of guilt
No feeling of bad, no
