Subject: P!nk's "What About Us"

Written By: HeyJealousy on 08/10/17 at 8:04 pm

I'm getting a different vibe with this one. Maybe it's just me, but the melody and lyrical content doesn't scream 2015. Sure, it's EDM-tinged, but I'd wager to predict that most hits in the foreseeable future will be electronically tinged.

Pop isn't my thing generally (punk and grunge is where I lay my feet down on), but high-quality pop (electropop to me is of higher quality than EDM pop) I can not just tolerate but enjoy... the song itself is bleak in nature, but I enjoy its maturity.

I like it.  Good to see P!nk is back in it.  I really liked her stuff in both the early '00s and the late '00s.

This actually songs very much like mid 2010s music to me but I guess P!nk makes it more tolerable.

What's the difference between electro pop and EDM (electronic dance pop)?  ??? It's the same genre pretty much. Anyways I would choose Chainsmokers over Lady Gaga any day!

It sounds like an average late 2010s song. Like all the pop songs that are popular today and in 2016. It does not sound 2015 and neither do any of the other songs that are popular today (except for some trap songs)

This sounded like Paris (by Chainsmokers) with P!nk's stronger vocals. :P

Chainsmokers can keep doing their thing but I hate how everyone is trying to copy them.

True but I just think what we see now is pretty much late '10s culture because I don't see a lot changing this year.

I like some of the Chainsmokers songs. Much better thab Lady Gaga imo. I never liked her or her music.
