The Cheeky Girls are so vacuous and such non-entities that I actually don't consider them offensive, relatively speaking (they're still terrible, don't get me wrong). Their's aren't the sort of songs that will played everywhere, torturing torturing every listener it can find

Songs that are imbued with excessive, childlike sentimentality (power ballads) or haughty, misogynistic swagger (mainstream gangster rap) are what I feel a more passionate dislike towards.
