== Synopsis ==
#10: Sean criticizes the single, for having a weak and sleazy hook. With Dua Lipa sounds bored, and Megan Thee Stallion's verse being too vulgar for what is essentially a "pop crossover hit." With the song being an example of "frustratingly competent songs", that don't try to do anything fresh and new with their sound or structure.
#9a: Sean noticed how Portugal. The Man's 2017 single "Feel It Still" influenced pop-rock for the worst, with "I Ain't Worried" being a prime example. He then criticizes the song for having stilted composition, with no intrigue.
#9b: Sean describes the song as Charlie Puth's ploy to gain TikTok influence; despite the song having too much of a locomotive beat, with little to no resolution.
#8: Sean sees this song as a "piece of junk", due to how jarring the composition and arranging is. Where he praises "Tiny Dancer" as Elton John's masterpiece and hates how it was sampled so sloppily. As well as pointing out how hypocritical Elton John is for blasted modern music, while in turn he remixes his classics for a modern house-bass appeal. Sean does give background to Britney's part, although he does not believe it saves the song; similar to Kesha's verse on the "Fancy Like" remix didn't improve the song.
#7: Sean said that the song feels like the main singer is "experiencing heartbreak for the first time and fails to convey the required emotion". He also notes that d4vd is a Fortnite streamer and went into music to create his own background music.
#6: Sean sees the single in a similar vain to "Girls Want Girls", where Drake is baked on making whatever music will get him more dominance on the charts. Due to his former commercial success with 21 Savage before, Sean sees Drake as using his friend 21 Savage as a marketing ploy for the Her Loss album. While also criticizing 21 Savage's unusually lackluster bars. 
DM#1: Sean states that "Staying Alive" would've been on the list until "Rich Flex" dropped, and he felt that song represented Drake's lows as an artist more.
DM#2: Sean replies to just saying "No."
DM#3: Sean replies to the song by yelling "Silence, egg!" As it is a reference to Shakespeare's MacBeth, where Lady McDuff's son is told the same phrase by the criminal who is interrogating Lady McDuff and then kills the kid. The slang term for "egg" is meant to describe an annoying kid being obnoxious. 
DM#4: Although, this song is on the list. Sean yells "Silence, egg!" again to prove his point.
DM#5: Sean puts the song in the DM list for the sake of Chris Brown. Although Sean does admit that the beat and melody grew on him.
DM#6: Sean criticizes the song's lyrics as "generic" and as a "nun trying to be hip with the kids".
DM#7: Sean criticized a line where Drake accused rapper Megan Thee Stallion of lying about getting shot by her then-partner Tory Lanez. Saying it would have been #1, if it lasted longer on the charts. 
DM#8: Sean brings up the news on why many adults (millennials) wish they were able to buy dirt if housing was affordable.
DM#9: Sean sees the song as Jack Harlow buying into his own hype without bringing anything new to the table. 
DM#10: Sean criticizes how Doja Cat and Post Malone barely have chemistry in this love song. 
DM#11: Sean doesn't like the hook, which consists of a woman repeating "party" on loop.
DM#12: Sean criticizes Luke Combs' "rough football linebacker" delivery to what is meant to be a sultry sex song.
DM#13: Sean explains how depressing it is for this to become the #1 song of 2022, according to Billboard. When it already was one of the biggest singles of 2021.
#5: Sean criticizing the single for its' tacky production of a sparse guitar accompanied with a warped melody that feels like a dower hangover. Along with Morgan Wallen's scratchy vocal performance, and the pathetic lyrics of him drinking in a stupor to get over feelings of an ex. 
#4: Sean explains that this song was the most popular single on Billboard could be counted as "drill". As well, as criticizing Morgan's vocal deliveries, the artificial country-trap production and the lyrics that are put into question.
#3: Sean lambasted the song for its lyrics of how the main singer is presented as a man facing "rumors" or "lies". Sean says that he comes across as a domineering man trying to antagonize the women spreading rumors; where the song faces no context of both sides to make the listener choose his side.
#2: Sean explains how the song manages to skeeve him out, due to Russell Dickerson's vocal delivery and the production being so sparse to where the melody is on constant loop, the bass is put in the forefront and the guitar having little use. As well as giving as estimate on the success of this song being credible to forced Amazon playlisting, where this song had the most plays. 
DM#14: Sean points to how this song being the theme music for Arcane isn't the worst thing to happen to animated shows and media in 2022.
DM#15: Sean does mention that the beat clicked for him during late 2021. However, it was not enough for him to shake off Kodak Black's performance.
DM#16: Sean does admit the song is technically fantastic, except for the chorus' lyrics.
DM#17: Sean describes "boyfriend country" feels like finding salt water in the desert when you're parched. 
DM#18: Sean uses this opportunity to show that Jack Harlow is dating Dua Lipa, in real life; despite her personal reaction to the song being ambivalent.
DM#19: Sean reminds everyone that Dr. Luke is still in the music industry, only to be making lazily sampled songs.
DM#20: Sean gives this time to lambast Jason Aldean personally.
DM#21 - DM#26: Sean criticizes terrible hip-hop songs that get big off of TikTok. He notices a line in "Handsomer" where Russ tells a girl to list five songs of his, and then does a segment on five other Russ songs.
DM#27: Sean states how Rick James actually made "Super Freak" for a more bridged success.
DM#28: Sean states that the ONLY reason as to why this song didn't make the list is because he wrote "Rich Flex" at the last minute.
DM#29: Sean lambasts the song for everything it is and represents.
DM#30: Sean says DJ Khaled gave the worst lyric of 2022: "They ain't believe in us, Juice WRLD did!"
DM#31: Sean admits he was too harsh on the song, and that it is unfair that the main singer had to face the blowback from the public instead the executives and managers from Atlantic Records who told her to follow through with the push. He then blames himself for buying into the hype of "independent songs" getting successful of TikTok, not realizing how corporatized it was going to become. He then smashes the egg on himself. 
#1: Before revealing the song, Sean states that this song carried all of the ugly and spiteful rhetoric he had to deal with in 2022. When the song is revealed, Sean explains how Post Malone's 2022 album Twelve Carat Toothache was a critical and commercial disappointment, due to the subject matter of apathy being worn-out and outdated in comparison to other pop artists. 
Sean sees the song as Post Malone's passive-aggressive retaliation to Republic Records demanding a certified radio hit from him. This makes the song feel both depressingly droning and corporately artificial at the same time. The song through its' composition is described to be "the halfway point" between The Weekend and Post Malone to wear both artists' personality and edge are cut off, to be left with "white-noise synth". The melody in the chorus is described to feel like a "never-ending fractal", where nothing changes, and the listener ends up feeling too drained to be annoyed, but too exhausted to fall asleep or turn it off. 
Next, Sean highlights the lyrics in how shockingly slimy, and pathetic they are. Particularly, the verse 
That I broke my hand on the same wall 
That you told me that he f***** you on 
Sean describes how this line can singlehandedly put Post Malone in a negative light, which is a stark contrast to how he personally is when interviewed or in public. ￼ 
Sean ends the segment by stating how he would rather be "overthinking" the positive and negative qualities of pop music, rather than "underthinking" it. Just to hope that the good music is celebrated, while the bad music does not get away with being a waste of time.
