You think your UsefulNotes/Commodore64 is really neato!\\

* Music/{{Beck}} once performed a song making fun of a rival musician and club owner who kicked him out of the Viper Room and threatened to kick his ass. The musician is never named in the song itself, but the song was titled "Creator/JohnnyDepp". The song has never been recorded onto an album.

** Eazy-E went back at the abovementioned diss with the iconic tracks tracks "It's On" and "Real Muthaphuckkin G's." The latter track particularly goes after Dre, Music/SnoopDogg, and Creator/DeathRowRecords co-founder Suge Knight; and to drive the point home, its accompanying video responds with the Sleazy-E caricature mentioned above, by way of a BlackComedy payback skit.

* Music/IceCube's "No Vaseline" excoriates his Music/{{NWA}} bandmates and their manager Jerry Heller.

* ''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss'': In "[[Recap/HelluvaBossS2E7MammonsMagnificentMusical Mammon's Magnificent Musical]]", Fizzarolli sings a song named "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9HyDRpJrsw 2 Minutes Notice]]" when he decides to quit being the face of Mammon's brand. Fizz [[ClusterFBomb rather colorfully]] tells Mammon to go fuck himself after years of abuse and exploitation, calling him a cuck, a greedy bastard and a sad sack of shit in front of a live audience. [[FailedASpotCheck It's not until Fizz namedrops him that Mammon realizes the song is about him]], and while he is not amused in the least, [[ResignationsNotAccepted he is far more furious that his biggest money-maker is resigning]].

* The pilot video of ''WebVideo/DubbedByStrangers'' ends with a diss track on [[WesternAnimation/AnimalMechanicals Rex]].

* Prior to WebVideo/MinecraftChampionship 15, Quackity wrote and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKTjp9wGuzw performed]] a diss track targeted at the fans who take the event too seriously, a number of the competitors, and [[SelfDeprecation himself]].
* [=YouTube=] songwriter [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCR5YSENBrrzKhj48a9K6Vew IgikoPop]] wrote a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xk1o_1ILyvU brutal track]] expressing her disdain for Creator/KenPenders, the head writer of ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics, who is widely hated not just by the Sonic fanbase, but by the comic community as a whole for his petty and childish behavior that ended up causing the soft reboot and eventual cancellation of the longest-running American comic series.

* Music/{{Queen|Band}}: The opening track of ''Music/ANightAtTheOpera'', "Death on Two Legs (Dedicated to...)", scathingly rails against the band's previous manager, Norman Sheffield, among other things likening him to "a sewer rat decaying in a cesspool of pride" and outright telling him to kill himself. Sheffield was never mentioned by name in the song, but recognized that it was about him and sued for libel... which instead resulted in the song's subject matter becoming public knowledge. On the ''Live Killers'' version, Music/FreddieMercury ramped it up a bit more by saying it was dedicated to "a motherfucker of a gentleman".

* ''WebVideo/{{GothamChess}}''

* Exaggerated in a genocide run of ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' [[BurgerFool Burgerpants]] reveals that Metaton, in lieu of yelling at him for screwing up at work puts on a CD that consists entirely of songs about how Burgerpants sucks at his job.

* ''Series/{{Friends}}'': Phoebe's old songwriting partner steals Phoebe's signature song "Smelly Cat" and turns it into a cheesy jingle for kitty litter. Phoebe deals with her anger by writing a new song telling "jingle bitch" to go to Hell.

* Prior to WebOriginal/MinecraftChampionship 15, Quackity wrote and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKTjp9wGuzw performed]] a diss track targeted at the fans who take the event too seriously, a number of the competitors, and [[SelfDeprecation himself]].

* ''Anime/{{Aggretsuko}}'': At a company drinking party, [[MeanBoss Director Ton]] realizes that Retsuko is the one that complained about him to the higher-ups and disses her via rapping. He gets far more than he bargained for when the [[BewareTheNiceOnes meek]] Retsuko [[TranquilFury calmly]] responds by dissing him via HeavyMetal. Of course he's so plastered that he passes out and forgets the whole thing by the next morning. [[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain Maybe]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}}'', the song "Mother Knows Best" downplays this. It's mostly about how Gothel doesn't want Rapunzel to leave (because Gothel uses Rapunzels hair to [[FountainOfYouth turn young]], though she's pretending it's because she's concerned for her safety), but there is an underlying theme of Gothel claiming/implying that Rapunzel would be putting herself in danger because she is naive. Gothel also claims in one verse that Rapunzel is sloppy, [[DoesNotLikeShoes underdressed]], [[{{Womanchild}} immature]], [[TheKlutz clumsy]], gullible, grubby, ditzy, "vague", and gaining weight.

** "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsWhoShotMrBurns Who Shot Mr. Burns?]] Part 1:" After Mr. Burns' chicanery causes Tito Puente to get fired as Springfield Elementary's music teacher, he gets his revenge by writing a [[TheVillainSucksSong salacious mambo]].

* Strong Bad accidentally creates one in the ''WebAnimation/StrongBadEmail'' "Sibbie". When a viewer asks Strong Bad to write a song about him, Strong Bad refuses and states he will "never, ever, ever write a song about The Sibbie"... [[StupidStatementDanceMix The Cheat ends up turning it into a song that became a big hit.]] Strong Bad then screams, "I freaking hate Sibbie!" and that immediately ends up becoming a song as well.

* In the song "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJ9Y1kviR2M Cody's Diss Track]]", Cody sings to Nintendo about how he hates them and is much hunkier than them.

* Music/{{Shakira}}'s long-awaited collaboration with Argentine producer Bizarrap in January 2023 turned out to be a diss track targeting her former boyfriend, retired footballer Gerard Piqué, months after their rather unceremonious breakup.
