poll Is anyone filling the void Katy left with "fun pop" ?

[naval23]

I miss fun pop. Songs that aren't meant to be lyrically deep and just fun bops. 

 

Teenage Dream was a huge blueprint for that and it feels like it's a void that hasn't really been filled

Just a handful of (mostly) mindless pop records released last year. Just because they're not igniting the charts anymore doesn't mean they don't exist. Bops on bops.

Yes 

[Sun]

Ava Max and Kim Petras are sampling popular songs for every release, Dua Lipa is making the same Future Nostalgia song over and over again hoping it'll stick one more time, so no, no one can do it quite like Ms. Perry

Jojo Siwa

[Lachlan]

Charli

Kylie

Dua

Slayyyter

Carly

Kim Petras (if you like her...)

 

There is certainly not a void left.

I feel like those are more dark fun songs tho? It's not the same bright sunshine fun pop bops as in Katy, except maybe slightly Carly.

I can see Kylie and Carly as the "closest" however there's this certain commercial sound Katy gives that they don't, which I'm assuming is what OP wonders about.

Future Nostalgia felt a lot like that.

Meghan trainer last album was a masterpiece and very Teenage Dream coded. She referenced her for inspiration for the record makes sense.

[Bubble Tea]

Dua Lipa is mostly filling the Katy Perry void. Interesting you think "Teenage Dream" isn't lyrically deep, I kind of think it's quite a dark and introspective song. The acknowledgment that your youth is behind you, that you didn't get to experience the perfect teenagehood, the fact that the love being sung about is probably fast and furious like a teenage romance and likely to promptly burn out. 

[Trainwreck]

Jojo Siwa and Kidz Bop

[Cheers]

A lot of people are making "fun" pop 

 

If you mean terrible childish songs, there's Jojo Siwa

[Illuminati]

Unironically Charli, Carly etc anyone doing escapism pop is not only filling in the spot for the gays but also doing it better

[Gladiator]

Ava Max makes fun pop music.

[PrettyHurts]

charli is too adult to count. ava and meghan 

[Twixters]

Taylor swift clearly 

[ThisNihilist]

BRAT Charli. To OP:

[rihannasbe$tfrnd]

Taylor snatched her 4-preteen demographic  who else would willingly listen to lyrics like "karma is a cat sitting on my lap"
