[I feel like youre trying to test me with this one. If I put a school shooting song too high, it paints me as a psychopath; if I put it too low, then Im pathetic and too easily upset.]

Still not entirely sure what kind of response you were hoping to get out of this one; song is catchy enough that it gets stuck in my head on a regular basis (something I'm honestly not too happy about) and the song was everywhere for so long that I'm sure everyone has heard it enough times to have made up their minds on if they like it. I can't possibly have anything new to add to a song this well known.

...Also, I can't recall what show it was (I think The Voice, but it could have been American Idol or America's Got Talent, or possibly even all of the above) but the production team played this song to celebrate someone moving through to the next round. It was like "CONGRATULATIONS!" and then this started playing in the background. It was creepy.

...Like if a studio selects a song about school shootings as your victory theme, I think you should be allowed to sue them.

#193 [#271 {TIE}]:

Name: Crimson Cloud
Origin: Devil May Cry 5

Nominator: Murphiroth (9/15)

(1, 1, 5.4 [upgraded to 6 after the topic started])

[I see why Devil Trigger is the only song from the soundtrack that anyone ever mentions. <./<

...okay, that was needlessly cruel, but I dislike this singer and dont know enough about V (or DMC in general after the second game) to get anything out of the lyrics.]

Ehh... not the most impressive or objectively good song on the list, but it is loud and angry and something I want to listen to right now.

[Final Thoughts: I wish I had a better justification for putting this song so high on the list besides "it is loud and angry without being vulgar", but it is what it is.

I think this is one of the songs that most improved between my first and final listens. I kinda hated this at first, mellowed to a general "not my thing" stance at the second, and up to actually liking it by the third.]
