A bad mix is something that a mastering engineer of the yesteryear would refuse to master. By this logic or standard, there are no "bad mixes" in all the commercially released music. This would be true in a sense that you could take a mix that you hate and think sucks (in a commercially released mastered music) and blast it and it would not blow out your speakers. So at least one could say that truly terrible mixes have been released and mastered to be playable on any playback system.
These days I'm sure that there are more bad mixes than ever before and they are not stopped at the mastering stage, but are "mastered" by someone somewhere and they may end up being listeneable with earbuds (or with some other form of headphones), but are not anything that would sound even decent on the loudspeakers. (but more power to them, you live and learn.)
