Die For Our Ship / Music

Since music is a good way to express emotions of all kinds, of course some songs will be about how the bitch/asshole dares to stand in the way of True Love. . .

---

• Even if Avril Lavigne denies that her song "Girlfriend" is about this and claims it's actually a Take That! to the trope, the video has more than one whiff of it. Because the "cool punk girl" can completely throw herself at the feet of the bespectacled girl's boyfriend, steal him from her and drive her through the dirt just for being there, huh?
• Taylor Swift's "You Belong With Me" has shades of this, with the Unlucky Childhood Friend (and borderline Stalker with a Crush) complaining about her cheerleader rival who "doesn't know your story like I do". In the video) the girlfriend is portrayed as a very typical and shallow Alpha Bitch who is defeated and humiliated by the Dogged Nice Girl and her beau's True Love. Yup, like in the Lavigne example, both are played by Taylor Swift herself, but it's still annoying.
• Used literally, in Good Charlotte's "Bloody Valentine".
  Standing over him, he begged me not to do
  What I knew I had to do 'cause I'm so in love with you
• Threatened in the obsessive-fan song "David Duchovny, Why Don't You Love Me" by Bree Sharp:
  David Duchovny, I know you could love me
  I'm sweet and I'm cuddly
  I'm gonna kill Scully
• Voltaire has "Ex-Lover's Lover", in which
  I wait for the day when I'll finally defile
  The bodies of my ex-lover's lovers
  I'll pile high to the sky
  The bodies of my ex-lover's lovers
• "Get Rid Of That Girl" by The Donnas. It's a fast paced and catchy song about a girl beating up and killing the girlfriend of a boy she likes. The song even ends with the background singers chanting, "Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!"
• Poor, poor Meiko. Most Kaito/Miku shippers constantly call her 'abusive to Kaito' or 'slutty' because she is shipped with Kaito. And Miku doesn't get any better treatment from Kaito/Meiko fans. And Kaito/Gakupo fans are just plain Fan Dumb towards both. What makes this particularly annoying is that Vocaloid has no canon...
  • Len fangirls are pretty terrifying when it comes to ships involving him, but the treatment poor Rin has to go through trumps them all.
  • And even Len/Rin shippers get in on the bashing of Miku and Neru, and let's not even get into what kind of bashing Tei gets.
  • Gakupo gets bashed for getting in the way of Miku/Luka very often, and is generally made into a stereotypical homophobic abusive Jerkass so Luka can flee into Miku's arms. The same, minus the 'homophobic', happens with Luka/Kaito fics. And then the Gakupo/Luka fanfic does the same with Kaito…
  • All of them are not help by the fact that by design, the Vocaloids are blank slates and their personalities are determined by the fans.
• In the K-pop music industry, any mention of a celebrity dating anyone, or even just admiring someone else, can be stirred up into a 'scandal.' Some fans take their idols being in relationships that they don't approve of very, very badly.
  • For instance, in 2014, it was revealed that Taeyeon and Baekhyun were dating. Cue Taeyeon's Instagram and other social media being FLOODED with hateful comments ripping into her age, looks, singing ability, you name it, and even Baekhyun got some hate too.
