Here it is. I'm writing about pop music again because... I like to!
Starboy- The Weeknd
"Girls get loose when they hear this song." That's a true fact!
I'm a big fan of the Weeknd. Why? I don't know. Read my last pop music re-cap. The Hills was pure gold. So good that now he's super rich and can write a song about how he's a star and can drive a red Lamborghini. Honestly, I'm kind of disappointed because I really thought he was talking about a red colored lamb (the animal) and I thought it was some drug metaphor that I had never heard of, but when I watched the video I realized he was just talking about a car. BORING. No one cares about cars except rich people. Anyway, I guess he cut off his weird hair, which somehow makes his face less attractive. Maybe I just noticed his face because I wasn't looking at his hair. It doesn't matter. This video was pretty dumb overall. I have a very clear mental image of what I think the video should look like in my mind. It has to do with a blonde girl wearing underwear and doing a lot of cocaine off of a glass topped table which has a base made of antlers. Oh well, sorry the Weeknd, should have asked me for a creative concept for you.
Shawn Mendes: Looks like he's twelve and I skip his songs every time they are on the radio because his songs makes me think of generic church music combined with pure garbage. I'm not posting a video because I don't want to have to see one or hear his voice again.
Closer- The Chainsmokers ft. Halsey
The first time I heard it I hated it and wanted to kill it. I even woke up at 4am with it stuck in my head and couldn't stop thinking about it to the point of wanting to kill myself instead of the song. But then, I couldn't escape the song. It's EVERYWHERE. I haven't heard a song infiltrate the world in such a way since like... I don't even know. It's horrible. Anyway, I kind of like it now. It's like the Stockholm Syndrome of the pop music world. This is the first time I've seen the video, it automatically turned on Youtube when I finished watching Starboy. My first reaction was absolute hate at the guy's face. He looks like a douche bag asshole shit head with a smug fucking face that I want to punch in the nose until it bleeds. Halsey looks cute and I like her. As the video goes on and I have to listen to that stupid Blink 182 reference, I sort of start realizing maybe the guy is kind of hot. And then by the end of the video I'm like "oh yeah, that guy isn't so bad!" You know what! I feel the same way about his stupid face as I do about his stupid shitty song! How does that even happen!? It just creeps up on you and then you're stuck forever not hating the song and not hating the guys face. He is really lucky it doesn't work the opposite way for him.
P.S. The Chainsmokers is a stupid name. I hope the band name gets emphysema for glorifying cigarette smoking.
This Town- Niall Horan
Currently obsessed with this song. I don't know if my mom can hear what I'm doing in the other room, but if she can, she's probably really sick of this song. I've listened to it about a million times in the past two days. I think it's a nearly perfect sentimental song. If you can't relate to this song in some small way you are a heartless turd nugget.
PILLOWTALK- Zayn
This song is hot. He knows what he's doing. Girls probably go absolutely crazy for this. I know I do and I'm approaching the point where it's probably a little weird to be so into pop music. The video sucks and so does the fact that all the song titles might as well be SPelLeD lYk Diz.
Perfect Illusion- Lady Gaga
I was pretty disappointed when I heard Perfect Illusion for the first time, I think partially because of how much I love Lady Gaga and I knew that Kevin Parker from Tame Impala helped produce it. That being said, I was expecting a lot. It didn't grab me as strongly as a lot of her other songs have, but in the context of the whole album it grew on me a lot. Joanne is definitely my favorite Lady Gaga album so far. I think it needs to be listened to through straight through, and repeatedly, by everyone. The feeling it gives me is usually a feeling my body reserves for Hanson, Ceremonials by Florence and the Machine, or the song Broadripple is Burning by Margot and the Nuclear So & Sos. That probably doesn't mean anything to anyone else, but to me, that's fucking outrageous. This album is so good I haven't stopped talking about it since it's release. When listening to the album straight through, Perfect Illusion fits right into the sequence and that sequence turns an otherwise average song into something beautiful and important. Needless to say, listen to the freakin' CD if you haven't already.
Rise- Katy Perry
I generally hate inspirational pop music. I like pop music to be about love, sex, drugs, and dancing. Katy Perry keep writing this inspirational crap though, and I still like it. She could write about a plastic bag and I would still like it. Oh wait, she did. I've loved her since the first time I heard "I kissed a girl" and I always will. I didn't even hold a grudge when she released the worst music single of the twenty-teens, ET ft. Kanye West. OK I sort of did hold a grudge because it's been 5 years and I still can't get over how fucking awful it was. But, aside from that, I think she's a perfect beautiful wonderful amazing weird kind of creepy-eyed psycho princess. I wish I could be her for a day or maybe longer if I liked it. This song is pretty good in my shitty opinion. Good job Katy, rise above songs like ET! You get to write songs for the Olympics! You get to have cute dogs! You get to publicly not get along with Taylor Swift! You're the shit!
Cold Water- Major Lazer ft. Justin Bieber and someone else I don't care about
EVERYONE KNOWS I LOVE JUSTIN BIEBER. SORRY!!! JUST KIDDING I'M NOT SORRY!!!! Purpose was the best thing to happen to me in late 2015/early 2016 (besides meeting my current boyfriend who somehow puts up with my horrible music taste.) Now that I've burnt myself out on Purpose I have this gem and "Let me love you" to listen to. Yay! It's weird because everyone wants to talk about JB is such a little asshole and stuff but I don't even care. Remember when he peed in a mop bucket and it was big news? Remember that you remember that? Our lives are so pointless.
