Video above for those who want to check.  Pretty much the whole song is the essence of so much shitty thinking.  The song takes the view that the bad things that happen to the characters in the song are the result of bad luck and that you could easily be in the same situation and "know what it's like".

The shitty choices of the various characters (alcoholism, dealing drugs, etc.) are described in the song but somehow they never make the connection between those poor choices and the resulting consequences.  It's worse than John Lennon's "Imagine" as a symbol of wishful, stupid hippy thinking.

OK, both strong contenders as horrible songs.  Musically, the song isn't too bad; but the "then you really might know what it's like" line always irritates me.  No, I wouldn't know what it was like because I don't do that particular stupid shit described - which is why they are in that situation.

Granted, but I kinda like that song.  Still, I wouldn't really mind if Neverblast was to catch incurable throat cancer.

O wait!  Judging by the sound of his voice, he already has!

Don't pay attention to he lyrics?  That is the song though.  

Would you like a song praising communism and this dissidents need to be sent the gulags if it had a catchy beat?

It is a bad song, but I don't find it particularly obnoxious.

When I think of obnoxious music stuff like Party Rock Anthem and Ke$ha come to my mind far before Everlast.

That song is an American icon and one that we slayed hajji's to in great number weapons free in Iraq while psyops blasted it on their giant speaker sets.

also a worthy contender for the title.

A standout in its own right:

I think the song OP is talking about is really discussing a different aspect or phase of the bad choices made.

Yes the song glosses over the discussion of the bad choices themselves. Be that as it may the lyrics still discuss the after effects of choices and how others react to those who have made those choices and what impact it can have in life.

If you look at the song from a biblical standpoint it basically says don't judge.

If you look at the song from a society standpoint it says that people will judge you, right or wrong, about the choices you have made.

If you look at it from a substance abuse standpoint it says you could be a looked down upon, dirty, disgusting person with no money and no family.

If you look at it from a morality standpoint it says if you have unprotected sex you can get pregnant, get dumped, have to make a choice on keeping the baby, and have people hate you for making the decision to abort the baby. Which also opens yourself up to a society stigma.

It also makes a point to say that until you have had a challenge from a specific bad decision you don't fully understand the consequences from that exact decision. So while the song does not give a teaching opportunity on how to avoid the bad decisions. Those types of songs remind me of the responsibility I have as a parent to teach my kids not to make those decisions and not to make those bad decisions myself as to not negatively impact my children as I want them to be better off than me and not make the same mistakes that I did. I would certainly like my children to make no mistakes but that won't happen. So I find teaching moments to help explain to them actions have consequences and you may not like it so choose wisely.

Plus I like the guitar part in the song.

I see a lot of people posting dumb and annoying songs, but from my understanding of the OP, it was more about the obnoxious message of the song.

Hell, you could listen to your local modern pop station and find a ton of songs that are annoying.
