I'm definitely not an expert in the matter but that seems to be who's getting the press. Haven't heard much about Ariana Grande or anyone else lately

And whoever posted Mad About You-- I fell in love with Belinda Carlisle in that video. Here's a recent guilty pleasure song, I don't like Harry Styles all that much but this one gets stuck in my brain all the time:
August 13, 20232 yr Me, reading this thread: "Hey, Babe. Who was that artist that you and (oldest daughter) used to listen to -- it was bubblegum pop and all her songs were about girl power?" Wife, without hesitation: "Bree Sharp. I love her. I'm going to listen to her right now."
August 13, 20232 yr 1 hour ago, G650 said: Yeah, I'm aware. I was in my 20's when they came out, they are part of that early aughts music scene that was basically the nadir of western civilization. I sure as shit wouldn't consider them new. They actually just came out of retirement. Here's some early aughts girl pop to get down on. Sorry, I assumed you were older since everyone else here keeps posting songs from when I was a kid. I don't think Paramore's new stuff is as good. Moving on... The song below is another catchy pop song if folks can get past the auto tune. It doesn't bother me as much as other people. I think my ears aren't as sensitive.

A ridiculously catchy AF song of this era from DNCE

August 13, 20232 yr Those are legitimate artists thoIf we are wading into this pop territory, I dig the shit out of Big Thief and Soccer Mommy. But I don’t think they belong on this thread exactly.

August 13, 20232 yr Always had a thing for 80s New Wave girls. Her are some from the Aughts(ish) that have that same vibe to me:FeistCamera ObscuraMy favorite lesbian twin sister band
August 13, 20232 yr 43 minutes ago, Bottlecap said: the above are all indie approved pop, all are fantastic artists/songs Exactly. If their shows feature choreography and/or back-up dancers, they belong on the list, otherwise not.
August 13, 20232 yr No hate but I'm not hearing strong hooks with those indie songs. I just spent the day on a boat with some families and a bunch of kids. This song got the biggest reaction and spawned a mini dance party. (these were little kids)

August 14, 20232 yr Some of you have much, much different definitions of "girly" songs than I do. I think of this as a girly song:

August 14, 20232 yr Just now, Pato del Muerto said: According to wiki, ICP covered it a couple of years ago. But I can’t bring myself to search for it to give it a listen. I've long said there should be some sort of test you have to pass that says you are cool enough to cover a song. It really hit home when the Goo Goo Dolls covered Give a Little Bit.

August 15, 20232 yr To me, this thread is about songs that, if you were hanging out with buddies, you wouldn't say hey turn that up. In that spirit, I'll submit a few from my era. Cardigans may be the winner. Edited August 15, 20232 yr by Boss Hogg
August 15, 20232 yr If we're talking cute lead singers who cut some serious ear candy, I always thought The Sundays' cover of "Wild Horses" was fantastic. Not better than the original per se, so different, but so so fine:
