Recommended Posts

No they've confused themselves, she always said it's pure-pop. RO is excellent and way better than the 3 trash singles she's released so far, the 3 worst on the ablum.

Taylor started poptism with 1989 and ended it with TTPD

I did say that P4K going under felt like a death knell for poptimism…

They are very much alive and well, and they usually are the least affected by poptimism sksksks

1989 helped re-starting Poptimism in 2014 and TTPD killed it a decade later in 2024. :clap3: 

Poptism lasted a decade and some "MPGs" didn't get an universally acclaimed album in that time period. Crazy :ryan3:

She set herself up by claiming it was psychedelic and rave/Britpop/Massive Attack inspired, I fear

yeah she cornered herself with that one,

but slashing her score to a 30/100 is clearly an exaggeration and probably a very angry middle-aged man

That's what happens when you speak against genocide, you get punished. Others shut their mouths and get 100s for the worst albums ever created.

Her lyrics give nothing away, she has the public persona of an Instagram model, and the most notable aspect of her personal life is that she likes going on holiday a lot. In a way, it's a relief to have a pop girl whose music can be understood without a 48-hour intensive course in their backstory. But it's hard to stomach that the only two options for female pop stars in 2024 are a (sometimes musically compelling!) gossip delivery system or a default Sim (popstar expansion pack version).

I mean I've said all this from the start but damn, they were mean :deadbanana2:

That's so harsh OMG :rip:

This is benefiting from poptimism imo. The album deserves a lower score. Hopefully she can bounce back from this and deliver quality music again next era.

Absolutely crying over likening Dua to "a default Sim (popstar expansion pack version)." :bibliahh: They lowkey didn't lie.

Yeah it's kind of mean but that paragraph is a great description of the current pop landscape. You either get an "authentic" hyperspecific identity or basically a blank slate.

 

Where are the personas? :matty:

Given the 3 singles so far… Miss Peep definitely overpromised & underdelivered on the psychedelic influences
