worst tech/crypto songs of all time?

inspired by

https://awful.systems/comment/2382662

from the link, we obtain HODL gang and versace bedouin (which might be the worst song I've ever heard period).

I would also like to add predatory capitalist feminism anthem WAGMI.

on an ideological level I would nominate the technofascist propaganda piece we appreciate power. banger tho

'We are all gonna make it' while wearing an NFT shirt, such a timecapsule of a dumb age. Wait, that was last year?

Technofascist propaganda? Can I offer you a noosphere?

I look forward to the fruits of this thread and I am already sure that every single song deserves recognition for having more effort put into it than typing a prompt into a shitty generative ai text field

I’m waiting for night to fall so I can hook my headphones up to the good amp and torture my brain with these directly

The only tech song I ever knew about was Weird Al’s “All About the Pentiums”. I didn’t realize there were other actual songs

that's a banger

NB, I know you specified “worst” but I can’t help but think the personae of some JoCo songs are tech bros:

Yeah Coulton is pretty good at articulating some of the darker parts of geekdom. You just know the protagonist of "Code Monkey" is just a step from installing a RAT on his crush's computer.

without any apology, have this remarkable entrant: the vmware tanzu song

I've kept it around in the archives, even (especially?) though they tried to disappear it.

the original. I see it's back to Unlisted now, for a while it was unloadable
