Worst Music Moments of 2018

Devastating. Ignoring his music, this man was younger than I am when he was shot. What a senseless act of violence. A robbery is a crime, sure. But okay, people may have their reasons for why they are in need for money. But gosh, murder is just... it's horrible. And it was so unnecessary. They could have just run off. Just run off with the money and let him live in peace. Onfroy was not a hero. No, he wasn't. And he was not a villain either. He went through bad things and did bad things - he was difficult. But in any case... a murder... damn.

Apart from the crime itself... I liked his music. This young man was arguably the most promising newcomer within the last year. His album "? " was a roughly emotional experience whose major quality was that it sounded more unpolished and much less staged than other hip hop, pop and rock projects in the mainstream. I really think he could have become one of the leading figures of the scene - I felt so even before he was shot. He wasn't ...more - Martin_Canine

X's death was truly devastating there are no words to describe how sad his death was. Also, to all of you sick and disgusting people out there who are commenting that you are glad he died you are repulsive. It's people like you who are messing up this world. I mean, I get it if people are not fans of his music, but saying that you are glad someone died is the worst thing you could do. Besides X was not a bad person. He had ALLEGATIONS against him. As in, nothing was proven. Also, X was making up for his past. He was an inspiration and a huge role model to many kids out there. And yes, he did have some songs that were a little intense, but many of his songs were very deep and sent a message to everyone everywhere. He had so much potential in him and was on the road to becoming something great. He was an example that we all have pasts, but we have to leave them behind and focus on the future. He died way too soon... Long Live.

I think his death should be a lesson to everyone else. Live your life the best way you can. He may have made a lot of dumb mistakes in the past, and he tried to better himself and get past those mistakes. But by then, it was too late and his mistakes finally caught up to him.

Kinda reminds me of the movie Menace II Society where the main character does so many stupid things throughout the film, and right when he was about to finally take the first step to become a better man at the end, his mistakes catch up to him and he gets killed. That movie was way more powerful than some people make it out to be because it portrays the harsh reality we live in.

Be the good guy people. You owe it to yourselves. - Mcgillacuddy

How is this #1? This man was a terrible influence on our nation's children. A dead prick is still a prick...

This should be number one. Avicii's music was and still is innovative not just in the electronic realm but to music as a whole. He struggled with the pressure of fame all throughout his career so much that he had to drink to cope and retired from touring before unfortunately taking his own life in April. I highly advise everyone watch his Netflix documentary "Avicii: True Stories", especially all the fans of a rapper this year who was an abuser and then tell us who's death will impact the music industry as a whole for years to come. RIP Tim!

I've looked into his personal life, and it turns out that Avicii was actually struggling with depression and anxiety years before his suicide. In fact, he quit touring in 2016 due to how overwhelmed he was, and he was given medication and surgery. From the looks of it, Avicii was a broken, sad man, like Chester Bennington (Who also unfortunately took his own life a year prior). - CrimsonShark

I won't be listing all musicians who died in 2018 but a young man's suicide is a particularly bad event. And very sad. - Metal_Treasure

Died too young. - Not_A_Weeaboo

Oh what a shame! Pop, rap and jazz music has been nominated for way too long and iron maiden should've won already! I just wished iron maiden will just take the crown of rock n roll hall of fame someday instead of stupid pop and rap music that isn't even rock n roll music whatsoever! Iron maiden did so much to deserve this, but sadly they still didn't win the rock n roll hall of fame which really makes me mad! - UltraLunalaX

Yet the thing is called the "ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME" rappers & pop star belong on the MTV Video awards - WWEWBMortalKombatFan

Shame. And this disgraceful practice has been going on for too long. Rap, jazz and pop singers don't have to be nominated at all because they are not from the the genre of Rock and Roll. Iron Maiden should have been inducted long ago.
Rap and pop singers that were nominated for induction in 2019 include Janet Jackson, LL Cool J, Rufus featuring Chaka Khan. What these guys did for rock music? Nothing. While Iron Maiden did. A lot. - Metal_Treasure

This isn't a shame, it's stupid. Those judges are clearly confused about what's rock (or metal), and what's not. They should pick people who actually play instruments at least. - WheresMyGuitarPick

Lol an award snub is worse than murder & suicide?
This being at #1 tells me how biased & stupid the Creator and the voters of this list are!

This being at number one seems a bit too melodramatic here. Why do metal fans take what the music industry does so seriously? - cjWriter1997

Why do you need some industry corporation to tell you that a certain band is good, or influential? People love Iron Maiden, because they are Iron Maiden, not because the band won an award. I don't know to me it doesn't seem that big of deal. - cjWriter1997

And Trump supporters will still worship him or find a way to defend him. - DarkBoi-X

He didn't even choose to play it. It was the people who ran the event that played the song. So try not to put this on him.. - james6

Never want to go to his rallies. - Userguy44

Screw you, Trump. - IceFoxPlayz

This is rather sad than bad but it's a bad news - Metal_Treasure

Unfortunately, we are stuck with Justin Bieber. Bring back Rush!

Really sad. - DaringXx

Awww, that's awful! We'll miss Rush. Wont we? - galaxyfox

This has been happening for at least 10 years... - Metal_Treasure

They promised to make a new album after all these 10 years and yet they lied about making a new album this year? Oh wow! How pathetic is that! This has happened for many years and they still haven't even made a new album! that's just annoying! - UltraLunalaX

Don't worry... Only 10,000 days left until the release! - tgbhj

They're still together?

Coming from a black person, I never had any problem with another race saying that word as long as they don't mean the racist version of it. - Mcgillacuddy

The word by itself is not racist. Context matters.

Oddly enough, Kendrick Lamar is on my good list of 2018, too, for winning a Pulitzer Prize. - Metal_Treasure

Non-black person: "N****"
Everyone: RE - Not_A_Weeaboo

Legendary band. We will miss you Slayer - lilrocketman

This was really disappointing to me. - DaringXx

RIP Big 4 :'(

Chicago is the name of his 3rd child (girl) after also weirdly named North West and Saint West...
"- Hi, Chicago West here!
- The plumbing company? "
OK, whatever makes you happy Kanye and Kim...but I think what you do is very egotistical.
This isn't a "music moment" in a pure form but it's music-related because Kanye is very popular and for many people he's a role model. Not for me but he's got many fans world-wide. - Metal_Treasure

Judging by how he called his kid Saint West and Chicago West, he might be taking insipiration from Pete Wentz here.
As Pete Wentz has named one of his kids Saint Wentz, and Pete is also from Chicago (or at least Illinois- I don't know many places since I'm British not American).
