poll Colors by Halsey: bop or flop?

[PerfectCure]

Colors was pretty much the breakthrough hit for Halsey back in 2015-2016 when Tumblr and the indie-alt aesthetic were in.

What do you think of this song today, ATRL? 

 

 

You're ripped at every edge but you're a masterpiece
And now you're tearing through the pages and the ink

[ks_dollar]

A bopué.  This song was everything to me when I was 18.

[TitanicSurvivor]

This played on loop on my home radio and went 15x diamond here. A classique of late 10s alternative electronic pop me fears

[BabyBenzz]

it's one of my comfort songs, it's so so so good and it just doesn't age.. true masterpiece

[lillavend3r]

New Americana was her breakthrough though... This didn't even chart. At least it went 2xPlatinum and it's a classic  the music video with the plot twist is such a kii too

[Illuminati]

I love it The video is great too

You're right, but to be fair, I didn't look at the chart performances but at the MV views  Colors feels like a much bigger classic and staple in her discography whereas New Americana seems to have faded with time.

Definitely a bop. I got into her music with this album, specifically New Americana. I thought that was her first hit. 

[JoeAg]

Meh, she has better songs

 

so obviously as a former tumblr kid, this song was HUGE in a similar way that Brat is currently huge: it wasn't a huge smash on the charts, but in the tumblrsphere it was ridiculously ubiquitous (for Brat it's the twittersphere). I don't love it, I think it's lazily written, but I appreciate it for dragging Matty Healy and laying him out like that. Hold Me Down and Drive are the real bops on that album 

[pavi]

One of my favourite songs ever because of the memories 

 

That bridge used to be everything to me during my first heartbreak

[HRHCOLLECTION]

Bby this is a classic, not just a bop

[dopamina]

One of her best songs 

[Migs]

The bopest of bops! I love this song. 

[NoOneDiesFromLove]

A forever classic 

[UnusualBoy]

A classic, I fear!

[Princess Aurora]

Her best song

[dumbsparce]

It's very of its time but I still like it to this day, albeit a little bit less than I would if I never knew who it was about. 

[liquiddiamonds]

song is a bop, but the overprocessed always bothered me. they made her sound whiny. HFK is where they got her vocals right

[WeFoundWill]

That was a classic that was a classic
