It’s incredibly easy to dunk (pun intended) on this song, which is indeed incredibly annoying. But the main issue isn’t what it sounds like, it’s that “All Star” was written with the sole purpose of appearing during sports highlight reels in perpetuity. The band claims it was written as “an anthem for outcasts,” which is like saying that Slim Jims were made for vegetarians.
