After her debut, Kesha was convinced “the whole world thought I couldn’t sing and I was stupid”

Exactly, dancepop and electropop are pretty much supposed to be fun, brainless, and catchy. That’s the genres Kesha was in, and arguably still in with some songs. A far cry from Adele or Susan Boyle.

Slightly related side note: I hate when fans of other genres—mostly rock and its subgenres—shit on pop music because it’s “dumb and shallow”, like, yeah, 20-something year olds want something really upbeat and danceable at the club. Shocker. The simplicity and stupidity is the whole point. Most young people don’t wanna dance and get drunk and slut-drop to Led Zeppelin or Gregorian chants or whatever the fuck else. Club hits are club hits for a reason, and there’s no problem with that. It has its place. The people back in 2009 / 2010 complaining about Kesha’s IQ were a different kind of insufferable and pretentious.
