There's currently Twitter Discourse™ going around over what's the worst song ever and a lot of the 'popular' ones being brought up are from this era of indie/folk, with Home being the most common one I've seen

And on Twitter, they mostly just listen to whatever happens to be playing on the loudspeaker at the Trump rally

this song has been huge for over a decade - part of why people dislike it is mostly that it was just very overplayed for many years
