Which 2000s song is hard for YOU to listen to nowadays? Let us know in the comments!

Poor Britney, I always thought that "Lucky" was a sad song about a lonely celebrity, not realising how much Britney was singing about her own experiences in the entertainment industry. 💔

[jorgealejandro]

Britney Spears Everytime, after learning that it wasnt a break up song about Justin, but really for the baby that he made her abort.

[douglasmijangos]

almost every song by Linkin Park was about depression and self hate.. RIP Chester❤

[michellecoleman]

The Linkin Park song that breaks me isn't Breaking the Habit, it's Leave Out All the Rest.

[phantomrequim]

Chester singing about his pain and struggles through his songs, and it resonated with us all. Breaking The Habit sounds like he was speaking about not just his struggles, but loneliness.

If Amy Winehouse had sought treatment for her alcohol problems, “Rehab” might’ve taken a different meaning.

[Slayde.Wilson]

R.I.P Amy Winehouse and Chester Bennington 💔 I wish they were still here with us 😢

[franklingoodwin]

P Diddy did what all the worst predators do - he hid in plain sight. There were so many clues. The line "I need a girl to make her cry for me" of course has a double meaning. It's just nobody really thought he was talking to about the crying being from abuse and SA .

[njdutoit]

Everytime by Britney is much creepier than Lucky. It genuinely makes you think she was contemplating suicide.

[melchardcaranto]

It's such a shame. Benoit's theme was one of my favorites

[corymorimacori]

“Your music is like the soundtrack to a vasectomy!” Freddie Mercury

[thomaslee]

Lucky is a good one, but Everytime is much more disturbing!

[kingjamos]

Hurt really was a song that... well, hurt. Especially when you watch Cash's music video. It is one of the saddest music videos that hits especially hard since he died. It truly is his song now.

On a less sad note, every time I hear Ignition, that Chappelle Show version plays in my head. That skit has aged quite well now that R. Kelly's dirty laundry is on public display. Humor is a good way to cope with the nastiness of this world.

[jorgealejandro]

Justin Timberlake Cry me a river after finding out that 1. He played Britney in the video and it was him that messed up the relationship and 2. It wasnt even his real vocals at the end of the song.

[grilledricky]

"One of Those Days" by Whitney Houston, especially that second verse where she talks about relaxing in a bathtub after a long day.

[christophermerlot]

I thought about "Pumped Up Kicks" but it's not dark in retrospect. It's just dark.

[georgehernandez]

The song " last night " with keshia cole and diddy is worse because he threatens people in it

[Jaded_underrated]

Lucky by Britney spears cause people thought she had it easy

[blissfullycat]

The song On The Mend by the Foo Fighters was a favorite of mine but I can't listen to it now because it was written by Dave for Taylor Hawkins after he was in a coma from an overdose and how he loves him and didn't want to lose him and Taylor got mostly sober (stopped the drugs) and got physically healthy only to die of an enlarged heart randomly in a hotel and the way it affected Dave after, as well as the others makes it so sad to hear now.
