I avoid modern pop music in general… But I’m sorry, I will always have a soft spot for “Baby one more time” by Britney.
I would add “I want it that way” but let’s be real, every dude secretly likes that song.
Attributing gender to someone’s song preferences has to be the strangest example of mental gymnastics I’ve seen for a while.
Meh, there’s a ton of songs written strictly from female perspectives or with a female audience in mind. From Peggy Lee to the Spice Girls and so on.
I feel like they apply as “Girl Songs”.
Not how I personally interpreted the question, but that’s a fair point.
Even if that’s the case though, I don’t see why anyone would have to keep it a secret. To quote a favourite ‘girl song’ of mine…“Why’d you have to go and make things so complicated?”
Being insecure isn’t teenager exclusive, I guess.
I think OP is just asking the age-old question of “what is you guilty pleasure pop-song”. Just very poorly worded. I’m not gonna hold that against 'em.
Are you new to the whole “human” thing? We gender absolutely everything.
🤦🏽♂️
Call Me Maybe, such a banger
I’m the same way, but mine is “Toxic” also by Brittany.
I don’t know what qualifies as “girl” music.
Same. I like iwrestledabearonce, they have a lady singer
Pretty much everything by Avril Lavigne.
Have you heard the recent album with the Blink 182 guys? Travis Barker drums with Avril’s vocals are great.
Oh wow. Yeah I have it but didn’t realise the Blink 182 guys were involved till now.
I’m a Barbie Girl.
It’s not a secret. I am a cishet male 90s girl. I love Sarah McLachlan, Tori Amos and to a lesser extent the Indigo Girls, Jewel, Dido (though she came a little later).
You’re a what?
cisgendered heterosexual
Oh, one of those modern things
Surprised how nobody mentioned “Everytime We Touch” by Cascada
I really like the Electric Callboy cover of it. You should listen to it.
Max Martin is the genius working behind most of the artists mentioned in this thread. The dude is a total hit parade machine and the fact that no one said his name tells me a lot about how music is perceived in the mainstream.
Yeah I saw that YouTube short too dude. But nobody cares about writers
What short?
Possibly because this thread is about the songs, not the producers, but please I would absolutely love for you to expand on what it tells you about how music is perceived in the mainstream, should my eyes ever stop spinning like a one armed bandit.
No need to be sarcastic, I’m not attacking anyone on a personal level.
I know this thread is about songs, in fact I wanted to give credit to the people who actually had an active part in writing these songs (not just producing).
I know people cannot always credit every member working behind a piece of music, like it’s a scientific paper, but if you’re a lover of this art sometimes is nice to stop and be curious about who these people are and how they work. If you don’t you’re just a consumer, which is fine but you’re missing a big part of the process.
I normally listen to heavy metal, rock maybe nerdcore rap. The other night, I was alternating between the albums of Natalie Imbruglia and Melanie Chisholm. There’s some good stuff in there.
Speaking of Heavy Metal and Natalie Imbruglia. I really liked Steve Welsh’s “If Korn wrote Torn”
Oops I Did It Again, but this version
I don’t know of any particular song but I like a lot of female pop artists that as a guy I am not supposed to like. I like Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande and all the rest of them as well as genie in a bottle by Christina Aguilera and some Britney Spears. Quite frankly, I don’t give a fuck what other people think about me. If you don’t like me, then it’s probably best that we not talk with each other anyway.
“That as a guy I am not supposed to like.”
Right in the feels, man.
just a girl by no doubt
I was going to say this. I was just listening to Spiderwebs the other day. No Doubt has some great songs.
senorita. I can feel the lyrics even it’s sung by a female. “I love it when you call me senorita, every touch is oh-lala”
I guess a good bit of Emilie Autumn could fall into that class if I where to put tags on it.
