Mr S 7,884 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 From a Billboard article about Pink: P!nk has never chased pop music trends: there isn’t a hit in her catalogue that benefited from the help of a superstar DJ or a rapper du jour. It would be easy to argue that she rode the wave of post-”Born This Way” self-empowerment jams with “Raise Your Glass,” but was there a more natural fit for the genre’s subject matter? P!nk has been underestimated since her arrival -- a song that celebrates underdogs makes sense. http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/7898268/pink-what-about-us-underrated-juggernaut Did Lady Gaga, or more specifically "Born This Way", start a wave of self-empowerment songs?

elijahfan 24,518 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I don't know about the musical landscape, it seems like empowering songs have always been there. But I'd say it definitely started a conversation. Not to mention it completely changed my life, but that's another story. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas P 18,429 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Not really. Firework and about a cagillion other songs were all out before hand. EDIT wtf you misquoted the article. It says "you could argue she followed the 2010-2011 trend" not post born This Way... I’m a simple guy to please, if you like Melodrama, we chill.

Miel 15,009 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 To an extent, yeah, I'd say it did. There were a lot of songs coming out around that time that kind of fit that theme, and a chunk before BTW itself, but I don't think any of them hit as directly and straightforward as BTW's lyrical material. It might not have been the start of the 2010-11 "empowerment pop" trend, but it definitely was the poster child of it. 3 points in and ready for more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
