#14. Letdown. - Hate Myself
Title: Hate Myself
Artist: Letdown.
Album: Be OK
Self-deprecation really has become a niche topic in newer alternative rock artists. How many songs can I write about how awful everything is and how it's definitely my thing? It's kind of funny, actually, that so many people are able to get onto the charts talking about the same thing... oh wait, isn't that how love songs work? Hah. Anyways... this song also has another annoying quirk that has popped up in a lot of alt-themed music these days - hip-hop drums behind a rock verse. It's actually really annoying because most of the drums are pretty similar to others. It's kind of like when Travis Barker is featured on a track - he just uses the same formula for everything non-Blink related.
Okay... don't let me knock this track too much. I'm tired and my seeming indifference towards the Countdown in 2024 has me writing some fairly jaded blurbs. I actually really like this song and was singing the chorus all over the place this summer. The verses just don't do a ton for me, but Be OK is a really good album which might have some songs on next year's Countdown, as it was just released a few weeks ago.
Favorite line: "We laugh at our problems - we all know we got 'em"
