Buahahaha ok

Not really my taste in music either, but good for her.

My girlfriend loves this song, plays it all the time. I'm convinced she's at least 1 million of those youtube plays.

 

[AlphaSnake]

isnt that the band with the guy who was in nirvana

...

Google exists for a reason, bruh.

Dave Grohl contributed drums on one record over 10 years ago. But it's not his band, nor does it have any affiliation to Nirvana. It was born after the end of KYUSS

 

[enigmatic_alex44]

Flop public still paying Birthday dust, a far better Katy song than Roar.

Roar is the worst lead single of any album in the past 24 months

Wait I retract that statement, Taylor's Shake It Off is even worse

 

[shink]

Someone made a typo on a Katy Perry thread once and now it won't go away.

That's so silly.

 

[G-Fex]

it's not even as good as Supernatural.

It's very bland.

 

[Rushersauce]

who?

A band with actual talent

 

[PhoenixDark]

Can someone explain the Taylor/Katy "beef" to me. I got a run down from a biased person and want the truth, pls.

 

[Ashhong]

You kidding?! It's empowering and uplifting and extremely fun to sing along to.

I have this thing I do when I'm driving where I try to restart the track at the perfect moment (about 4 seconds in) to make it a continuous intro loop before the first verse begins. I like to see how long I can do it before my passengers realise.

Glad you are focused on the road when you have passengers.

 

[jelly]

Her songs can be plain but they tend to have very catchy parts that are easy to get along with while being quite positive and uplifting. I don't mind mind them but won't seek them out. Congrats Katy.

Simplistic music with no real depth. Yeah, I rather be out of touch.

 

[Servbot24]

Roar is a bad song but I'm on board with Dark Horse.

Some of the most acclaimed artists of all time made extremely simple songs. Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Thom Yorke, etc.

Oh, you thought I didn't know that? Of course I know, The Beatles were pretty simple in their beginning. Yet they evolved. i also can't beliee you are kind of comparing talented artist with katy.

 

[Grizzo]

At least it's a better song than Dark Horse.

*sips his tea*

Sipping your tea but also spilling it

Roar is so much better than Dark Horse it's not even funny. The latter is so boring. Some trap songs are good, this one is just... nothing.

 

[Syntsui]

How come she gets more view than Taylor Swift? Is she only THAT popular in the US or something?

Coming from someone out of touch with these pop stars, I'm surprised Katy has that many views compared not only to Taylor, but to Beyoncé too.

Essentially: a few members of Perry's long-time backup dancer crew went on tour with Swift after Perry's tour was over. Once Perry released PRISM and made plans for another tour, her team reached out to the dancers, who gladly returned to tour with Perry (they were also the sharks at the Super Bowl). Swift considered this a personal slight, referred to Perry as an enemy, made an attempt at a diss track in "Bad Blood", and the dancers in question have since made very clear through social media that they like working with Perry.

 

[Floridian]

Roar is so basic, but congrats I guess.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

She's so fucking hot. Drives me crazy.

 

[Toa TAK]

I always have such a hard time trying to decrypt PopGAF's jargon in these threads.

 

[The Auxiliary]

I didn't really like Roar.... It kinda sounded like it was cranked out of a focus group pop machine.

 

[RedAssedApe]

shot fired. your move taytay

Katy Perry is currently the Kuvira of Youtube.

Taylor Swift made "Bad Blood" to attack Katy Perry. When Taylor Swift felt attacked by Nicki Minaj a couple days ago, she used the "women shouldn't attack women" defense. Katy Perry called her out for her hypocrisy.

Multifunction steering wheel m8, don't even have to take my eyes off the road 👍🏻

Appreciate your concern though.

donkey Kong ate the yogurt

What a piece of shit

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Roar is the first Katy song I've ever hated. Couldn't even bring myself to watch the whole video.

 

[Servbot24]

Pop artists evolve too

complexity =/= superiority

There are plenty of artists obsessed with being complex that are absolute trash. In fact in many cases the most talented artist are those who have the skill to communicate nuanced messages in a simple way

I saw some mainstream sites relaying the news today, painting Taylor in a harsh light. The same media that usually treats her like America's sweetheart that can do no wrong. The general public is finally catching wind of Taylor's true Mean Girls personality.

Katy has officially kick started the end of Taylor's short lived pop career 😂😂😂😂😂

 

[Dr. Malik]

how will she ever recover

Spoiler

not to mention Blank Space has more views than any Katy video

Oh I'll think she'll survive

She's just unstoppable at the moment. Hasn't she become like the best selling female artist since Adele?

I like a lot of her songs (plus you gotta admit that 1989 is a damn good album), but something about her personnality just rubs me the wrong way. Couldn't really tell you what it is though.

 

[Junior Mint]

I thought Meek Mill's rap "beef" was bad. Pop beef is on a whole other level of cringe.

 

[Brakke]

I never listened to this song until now. Katy Perry is #teamlannister?

<3 this gal

TaySway and Nicki twattered all over each other, then dKaty ate TaySway's soul and ended ha career.

 

[RedAssedApe]

still waiting for john mayer to go back to making pop songs

katy...you had one job

Tears. POP-GAF claims yet another victim

He's only ironically pretending.




Which means he has joined their ranks.

What a weird statement. Taylor is here to stay, tbh. 1989 just proved that.

What's the longest it's ever took?

dKaty indeed

i really hope the title doesn't get fixed

 

[Stinkles]

When did music videos get so cheap and lame? In my day we had werewolves and rotoscoped heartthrobs and whatnot.


I'm speackless.

 

[cajunator]

Good. Its an awesome song!

 

[dark_quota]

Hate the song and like the song at the same time. Good for her regardless.

 

[Jombie]

Maybe you just have shit taste to the 1 billion people.

Most Americans believe in a magical man in the sky.

 

[acrid]

Never underestimate the gullibility of easily impressionable pre-pubescent teens.

 

[truly101]

So do Katy Perry fans and Taylor Swift fans hate each other? Do they fight at the mall?

I think if I was a pop fan, I'd probably be on team Katy. She seems to be more self aware.....

and...you know.....boobs

Come on son. You watched that video...

Take on me it's still one of my favorite videos that make no sense.

tasteless joke, I know

Katy is beautiful, her music is whatever.

Did we ever figure out what the "d" in dKaty is for?

Katy Perry is currently the Kuvira of Youtube.

How dare you compare the two of them. Kuvira>Katy Perry

d'Katy m'lady m'k? Ayy lmao
