base talk Why are the new pop girls so boring?

[Billionaire]

The way if I made a thread about how Gaga, Rihanna, Katy Xtina, etc are BORING I'd be getting lashed but I'm not cause I realize they weren't marketed or made for my audience. That's literally it these new girls don't wanna appeal to your audience  + you're just old

[blueberries]

 beyonce interesting ?

Pop stars barely exist anymore, the closest we got to one is Dua Lipa lmao…. 

Rosalía sweetie im so sorry

[FreeXone]

It has nothing to do with age. 

 

My mom loved Britney,Beyonce and Gaga. She could see they eere entertaining.

 

You also ackowledge Doja is the only one being interesting and that is true.

 

The new girls just arent there. No x factor.

Streaming allows audiences to listen to whatever music they actually want to listen to. So the focus is on the music and not the gimmicks. Also why most of ATRL's fav artists are struggling now. 

This . Music videos and live performances dont matter anymore SADLY.

 

Its all about streaming. The glitz and glam are dead.

Because we're getting older. The older you get the less receptive you are to new music. These girls having shorter threads has more to do with the age disparity on ATRL, alot of us are in our middle/later 20's and above.

 

On the Datalounge, which is full of mostly gay baby boomers they have lengthy threads routinely about Barbra Streisand, Diana Ross, Cher and Better etc. They can discuss Madonna, Janet, Whitney, Mariah to an extent but they have a distinct lack of interest that I've noticed with the millennial girls (Beyoncé, Britney, Christina etc.) in fact they drag them routinely so...

 

It's an age thing.

This is true but it's not only that. The music industry has less money in it than it did a decade ago. MTV, YouTube, and VEVO are all basically irrelevant now, so there's no point putting millions of dollars into a music video. Also, pop culture is so segmented now thanks to the internet so there's no point trying to create an iconic controversial popstar that everyone will care about, because it's simply impossible nowadays. 

[Freakshowvato]

Its just Dua and Doja… and the latter is in the R&B lane

[Jay07]

There are no stars anymore. Doja is the closest but she's more rap/r&b than a popstar even though she dabbles in pop from time to time. All the others are charisma voids.

[KillingYourCareer]

They lack a strong personality or interesting concepts. Also they all seem fake and tryhard.

[naval23]

Honestly they do seem boring. Pop culture was soo much more interesting before

[Selenasworld]

Their not, is just these industry plants are boring, y'all ignore Tate McRae and we all saw she leaves her entire ***** in the stage 

[shookspeare]

the age argument is SO tired

 

pop culture objectively used to be much more messy because twitter backlash didn't exist back then. Now that information travels so quickly no one has the guts to be interesting or provocative now

[unclefloprry]

 

[chaeyonce]

Genuinely though Doja is the only interesting one 

[Protocol]

Billie Eilish, Doja Cat, Rosalia and Lizzo are not boring.

[Stellar1103]

Not their fault. Times have changed and their lots of talented singers, songwriter and musicians. You can take your pick. You don't have to be force feed a popstar. So much variety in music now and I love it!

Because the 90s kids are pushing 40s now and they think that pop culture of today is meant for them. No grandma its meant for the kids born after 2005. Lets get u to bed now.

Great point. My parents definitely act the same way, as they typically listen to music within their respective eras. Occasionally, they'll enjoy an current artist (ex. Bruno Mars, Beyoncé, etc.) but on average they stick to their generation. As someone in their 20's, I'm slowly noticing that in myself however I enjoy all types of music and like to keep myself fresh with exploring newer acts as well.

Pretty much. Doja has a lot of charisma and is an engaging performer, but she's definitely an hybrid artist. I like some of Dua's music, but her lack of charisma and stage presence leaves a lot to desire... she is very pretty and has shown creative ideas throughout the Future Nostalgia era.

All four of those artists have distinct personalities and artistry. I wouldn't say they're the best example of an boring artist either. 

[gab00]

i think Doja is pretty fun tho

 

as for the rest. simple and minimalist is the norm now. just like exagerate and dramatic was the norm in 2010.

and exagerate and dramatic became the norm for some time because of gaga because from 2004 to like 2009 everything was very bland, kelly clarkson hilary duff nelly furtado fergie lily allen they werent really controversial or super fun or anything, just served cute bawps

[Kiss It Better]

because they aren't letting pop girls who isn't boring and lazy like Tinashe, Doechii and Azealia Banks to succeed

[Sazare]

Very true. Of today’s pop stars only Doja, Billie, and Ava have that je ne sais quoi.
