Whats going on with Katy Perry?

I know this isn't Sup Forums music and I hate to be the guy to bring up normie shit, but I'm fascinated by her career at the moment. What is she going for? Shes being very pretentious about her music, calling it "pop with a purpose" and such yet the lyrics to every single after Chained To The Rhythm (which bombed) hasn' not fit that description in the slightest. She said she didn't want to be "rolling around in cotton candy anymore" yet her latest video is in the exact same vein. Did "woke" Katy's Chained To The Rhythm flop so bad they wanted to return to what worked?

Shes also way late to stealing black culture, which Miley already did and has since comeback from.

Not to mention she is under a lot of fire for using the N word and just being problematic in general.

Also the feud with Taylor Swift. That had TayTay send in Selena Gomez to steal her man.


PLUS she once said she would only cut her hair if she had a breakdown like Britney did.
Is a breakdown imminent?

she flipped the fuck out on election night when Trump won and has remained in tantrum mode ever since, but she's like the biggest pop star of the decade so of course she's caught in a creative cul-de-sac, the label wouldn't have it any other way but safe

pop star fatigue

she's 30 and was only popular for looking like the hot girl next door, the zooey deschanel archetype. she either has to try to reinvent herself or it's over.

She's been wearing wigs for years, so I wouldn't be surprised if she had short hair for a long time.
Being a gross nigger loving skank is just the cliche thing for pop stars to do when their career goes south. The "controversy" gets people talking and watching.
That's all this is. It's not that interesting or surprising really.

>was only popular for looking like the hot girl next door, the zooey deschanel archetype
Had to be more than just that. She tied MJ's record for most No. 1s on an album. People were digging the songs.

She's trying to be intellectual and political with her music but since she doesn't know shit, it hasn't worked. Plus she's had some pretty conflicting opinions on things such as opposing racism but then making fairly racist comments, so she's not even that dedicated to the beliefs she claims to have.

Her normie fans are confused and over her and anyone who knows anything can see she's just a pseudo intellectual trying to be "deep".

So she's going back to regular pop to stay in the spotlight.

she's hanging around with black people

minaj, migos

obviously she's going down that miley ratchet pussy route

it's because they picture her when they listen to them. she was hot so men thought she wanted fuck them, but not like like an unobtainable model, so white teenage girls (the most important demographic in music) didn't feel intimidated and pictured themselves as her.

She knows her career is dying.

It's the curse of all 30 year old female pop artists, she has already been replaced by a younger version of herself.
>thinking that she decides who gets a feature on one of "her" songs

Who's the new Katy Perry? I honestly don't know who's current in anything anymore.

Regardless of who's behind it, that pussy is still turning ratchet..

Selena Gomez I guess.

If there isn't one then there will be one is a few months, but female pop music is dying in general so I don't know what's going to happen.

And she dressed quirky but didnt looked like a cum dupmster freak like lady gaga (who aimed at hysterical girls and faggots)

She's 32, it's already been ratched for more than two years

Boy bands might make a comeback but I doubt it. Maybe girl bands?

halsey. we left the basic bitch era of pop music, went to 80s revival era #271, no we are firmly in the thot era.

One Direction was the only Boyband in the last few years and even they died, just like Fifth Haromy. People generally stopped listening to what's popular.

also adding this Selena Gomez is prime thot music material. She's even hispanic.
>Maybe girl bands?
that ended last year

unlike gaga she doesn't have a strong core fanbase and can't perform so she literally has nothing to fall back on

won't be missed

>female pop music is dying in general so I don't know what's going to happen.
Huh?
There two girl pop groups that are pretty big right now.

"tumblr" is the current look of all the hot female pop acts. Halsey and her clones all look, act and sound the same. "alt girl" voice with edm/hiphop inspired beats.

Just as Nicki Minaj was a straight up copy of Katy Perry when her style was fashionable (dressing up quirky and shit) now its the other way arround ("woke-blackexellence-onfleek-trap-blackculture" is now in) and that obviously affects her music. Also female popstars are market products of a giant industry before anything and they need to keep their brand fresh and relevant "reinventing" themselves (some music critic talked about Madonna as "pop fascism" because her music kinda sucked compared to other contemporary singers but her image and persona is what captivated the listeners)

do you always project this much

Lady Gaga has been the only good mainstream, non-indie female pop artist of the past 10 years.

Female pop music is dying, it's over roasties.

Male Pop, Rock and Rap is on the rise.

All gimmick and all "wow look how weird I am". Take that shit away and her music is the same as any other female pop star of the last 10 years, Katy Perry included.

>tumblr" is the current look of all the hot female pop acts.
sorta. it was starting to go that way, but now it's switched to alt normie thots. that's why justin bieber, the king of thots, can bring any song to the top 10.
>"alt girl" voice with edm/hiphop inspired beats.
that, justin bieber, anything that appeals to their daddy issues and the chainsmokers are what make up thot-core.

Normie music
normie political platitude opinions

She killed her career by trying to cash out on faggots, LOL!

how is recognizing marketing projecting? you think she crafted her own image? there's a reason she went from Christian pop rock to Bon Appetit

True but shes easily made the best music out of all recent pop stars.

her voice gives me a headache. all of the songs i've heard from her last album were annoying. she's at her best when she makes the most soulless shit possible

>basic bitch era
It's called Slutwave™, you dumb little shit.

she's actually the only pop starlet that could engage an audience with just an instrument and her voice if required... the others around her success level are all utterly fucked if the power goes out.

are you dumb fags are the most loyal fans. no other pop star is gonna sell 200k first week without a top 10 single

>it's because they picture her when they listen to them. she was hot so men thought she wanted fuck them, but not like like an unobtainable model, so white teenage girls (the most important demographic in music) didn't feel intimidated and pictured themselves as her.
this isnt recognizing marketing, its porly written rambling
electro influenced pop sells better than christian rock? who knew fucko

basic bitch era was from post "in the club" era, to 1989 dropping. it was when indie pop/rock could chart and the fault in our stars movie was released

I've heard Taylor Swift stole a few members of her team.

No, you dumb little shit.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slutwave

it's poorly written, i still think that was what their intentions were with her image. what's your interpretation?

The demon that was possessing Miley Cyrus was exorcised and possessed Katy Perry instead.

>Slutwave is a pejorative applied as if it were a musical genre to female pop music stars which emerged in the late 2000s. Houston Press describes the genre as female musicians who "favor sex appeal – suggestive dancing, scant clothing, explicit lyrics – to promote their career over their actual music."
Slutwave started in the 1980s with fucking Madonna.

slutwave is incorporated in the basic bitch era. basic bitch also included the neighborhood, the lumineers, and the arctic monkeys.

>Madonna
Idiot.
>the neighborhood, the lumineers, and the arctic monkeys
Shut up, you dumb little shit. When your "basic bitch era" gets a wiki you can speak again.

>female musicians who "favor sex appeal – suggestive dancing, scant clothing, explicit lyrics – to promote their career over their actual music.
All of that applies to Madonna's entire career, you retard. She's always been a provocateur to cover for her lack of talent.

youtube.com/watch?v=SC8L0QDRqZ4
this song is cute! cute!!

madonna is basically the OG genre and trend vampire

my interpretation is that you arent too far off but spend too much time obsessing over detail to remember the actual music
generic or not she and her team has been following trends well

I'm just excited we might have a chance to finally see her tits in the near future.

i'm describing a time period not a genre you faggot. call it whatever you want, but i find "basic bitch" accurate because it describes the target audience well, and it's a dated phrase from that era.

I love Katy so I'm against a full on breakdown, desu.

i just focus on those points to emphasize what their goals were with her image. her image was one of the most geniusly crafted. only thing that comes close in recent times is miley and swift

>which emerged in the late 2000s
You can shut up too, idiot. We're talking about a date specific phenomena in pop culture, not cherry picking examples from earlier time periods that might fit the basic description.
>but i find
You need me to tell you again?
Shut the fuck up, moron.
No one gives a shit about some retarded term you made up because you're stupid.

>are you dumb fags are the most loyal fans.
LOL! No.

Pandering towards gays makes your straight fan abandon which will kill your career no matter what.

Straight people will always make up the majority of the fanbase of all artist that make accessible music and not all gay people like pop music.

And gays aren't loyal at all.

how embarrassing, it's like mileys mom performing we can't stop

I love Katy too, user. But I REALLY want to see those fucking things.

JUST

>tfw Paramore swooped in to save the day for pop as soon as Katy stated going haywire

she build her career on cashing out on faggots duh (and it works because it was grounded on a legit empathy towards LBGT peeps anyway)

>caring this much about what to name 2011-2014 in pop music
call it whatever you want faggot. call it 2011-2014. it doesn't fucking matter you spastic

>wanna see some saggy veiny +30yo tits
ok dad

She didn't, her first two album weren't blatantly gay oriented and they were successful, that's what build her career. It all went downhill by Born This Way, a very gay oriented album by "mere coincides"

apologize

Madonna? Cher? Barbara Streisand?

you ok?

>which emerged in the late 2000s
Madonna is proof that it didn't emerge in the late 2000s and that it isn't a date-specific phenomena.

>not cherry picking examples from earlier time periods that might fit the basic description.
Madonna fits the description to a fucking T and is the progenitor of all of the current supposed "slutwave" artists.

Madonna is the original slutwave musical performer.

>Without a single and without marketing, I’m not drawing on hetero males as a core audience. But thank God for the gays! My homos — they stick by me through thick and thin.
Courtney Love said this in a interview like...it's common sense

And where is Courtney Love today? Exactly.

>generic top 40 plebe music
>supported Hillary Clinton
>made "woke" pop music, alienating half the country, and making anyone who actually knows shit about politics cringe
>made a video acting like a giant slut while surrounded by niggers, lost the pol audience, acting like a giant coal burner whore alienates white men and black women, stop doing this.
>seems kind of desperate, whole slut act was stolen from miley and she doesnt look good with short hair
>is reaching the age whee pop stars get sent to the farm far away where they get to play with the other pop stars of yore and are replaced by a younger, better looking product, i mean pop star


On another note, i feel like female pop music is dying, there is clear trend and rise of male pop music and rappers topping the chart.
EDM guys, rappers, and pop folk faggots like sherran.
There also seems to be room for really awful soft rock like maroon five, and imagine dragons.
Or like 21 pilots.


In conclusion

youtube.com/watch?v=XYHSGQhswWE

lol
Then what are you arguing about, retard?
The phenomena is date specific and doesn't include Madonna, hence why you're reduced to describing her as a "progenitor" and admitting to her being separate from said "date specific phenomena". You don't have an argument.

>anyone who actually knows shit about politics
so not you or any other polfags

Marketing executives cottoned on to people not giving a shit about mileys antics anymore so they substituted her out with perry while miley trying to make pop-"country" again .

i was saying that you can't call 2011-2014 pop music in general "slutwave" because most pop at the time wasn't that. you could call the whole era slutwave, and that's retarded so I'm sure you do. i gave my reason for why I personally call it the "basic bitch era" and that has to do with the audience and the time frame. giving these stupid time frames names is the only way to get retards like you to notice cultural trends and shifts in audiences.

You cant be woke if you support clinton, being mainstream woke would have been like being a bernie bro.
Being actually woke would be demanding full communism now

>Shes being very pretentious about her music, calling it "pop with a purpose" and such yet the lyrics to every single after Chained To The Rhythm (which bombed) hasn' not fit that description in the slightest.

Well, yeah. You're surprised this whore's product is saying anything beyond "follow your desire / look at my hot body" ?

>bernie being even the slightest bit "woke"
>Being actually woke would be demanding full communism now
im sure it would be levi

>you can't call 2011-2014 pop music in general "slutwave"
No one did that, you fucking idiot. You just outed yourself as a complete fucking retard.

Now shut the fuck up.

bernie was a socialist, clinton was a neoliberal
on the leftwing scale of wokeness bernie wins

OwO what's this?

>The phenomena is date specific
Except it isn't since Madonna was doing everything these slutwave artists are doing now in the 1980s.

>hence why you're reduced to describing her as a "progenitor" and admitting to her being separate
No, I'm saying she's the progenitor because the she was literally the first fucking slutwave artist. The slutwave artist that all other slutwave artists have followed since the 1980s.

You have no argument. Your position is saying "NUH UH THAT DOESN'T COUNT" when presented with contradictory information.

>implying left wing is woke

The question is when is rhianna going to finally fuck off

courtney love didn't base her career around gays????????? the point is when she goes on tour (despite having nothing to promote) gays are the ones who go to see her. and career wise she's by far the most relevant 90s alt rock girl, she's doing acting shit right now so either way you're wrong

what is there not to understand. good job dodging madonna, cher and babs btw

You tried to make some retarded shit up and I corrected you because you're a retard. Katy Perry is a Slutwave artist.
>Madonna was doing
>was
In other words separated by time. Too bad for you the phenomena is date specific or you'd have an actual argument. Better luck next time, idiot.

...

Is Rihanna the only woman that doesnt gonna go low as those degenerates??????????????????

she has nice feet
I have probably sploodged to them several times
that is all that matters

She's not slutwave though.

>Tay gets a number 2 in 2017
>Katy barely breaks the top 10
Tay wins again baby

>In other words separated by time.
So according to your logic, Miley Cyrus is not slutwave? After all, she was heavy into slutwave activities but since she's not anymore that must mean she's not slutwave and has never been slutwave, right? Just trying to see how many mental hoops you want to jump through here.

Madonna was doing slutwave before slutwave had the name slutwave and she still does slutwave. For almost 35 years she's been slutwave.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slutwave
>which emerged in the late 2000s.
When you can come up with an actual argument let me know.

>a genre some guy from a magazine made up that no one has used in half a decade is a real genre
what are the musical characteristics that define slutwave then? Electropop with explicitly sexual lyrics and imagery from the late 2000s-early 2010s? is bjork slutwave? i also just said she was from that era. i didnt say what genre of music she made. i was describing the time period.

>i was describing the time period.
Yes, you're a retard. We get it already. You admit to it. Move along now.

>female musicians who "favor sex appeal – suggestive dancing, scant clothing, explicit lyrics – to promote their career over their actual music.
So, Madonna. Timeframe is irrelevant.

When you can come up with an actual rebuttal, let me know. Methinks you're just a butthurt Madge fan that can't handle the truth.

you can't read dummy?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slutwave
>Houston Press describes the genre as female musicians who "favor sex appeal – suggestive dancing, scant clothing, explicit lyrics – to promote their career over their actual music."

Hole was the most successful female fronted rock band in american history, she was very important to female rock even if everyone despise her.

Only rock, folk, and rap music are allowed to be political.
Pop music is about being happy, lowest common denominator.
No one wants to hear katy perry be woke, they want her to shut the fuck up and shake her titties and sing about lolipops.

See >>which emerged in the late 2000s.
I guess we're going to just go around and around in circles now because you lost the argument.

>Hole was the most successful female fronted rock band in american history
No they weren't, and they only had that popularity because of her boyfriend rather than their music

how many platinum records (without john) does yoko have again?

The only musical attribute they describe is the lyrics and gender of the musicians you aspie. Is that all you need to be slutwave?
nigga just kill yourself if you can't argue past posting wikipedia links and using the same 3 of insults.
