Agreed. Like pull up music videos from the time like by 3oh3 or any of the pop stuff by Kesha, Lady Gaga or even Katy Perry.
It's normal. Zany maybe a lot of the time but it's not current correct opinion or ashamed of itself. Starstrukk especially could not be made today. Like 30 sec of the video is Katy Perry dancing almost naked in the rain because that's some guy's fantasy and the video is about finding an attractive straight partner by throwing a coin in a fountain. No one's partner fantasy in that video is a fat troon and that tells you a lot about the time.
Good Girls Go Bad by Cobra Starship is always my go to for this era of “pop”, simply because Leighton Meester is supremely underrated as a singer, despite being an “It girl” at the time… And she is, and always will be I guess, the “hot one” from, well, you know the show…
But hell, even Neon Trees, where the lead singer is gay…
There’s no fucking way anyone would no that from their music at the time, or the vids, and perhaps that is the point…
So, different music, but I agree completely.
I really don’t like any of those three women as people (Kesha has been through some shit, I guess), but even I can admit they had some decent songs, once…
But yeah, the world was a better place, before every single popular artist on the planet had to have the same “suitably woke” opinions on everything, lol…
