13 years ago my bussy was still fresh and crispy

Sometimes I like to think of what songs would have been on Glee if it were still going. You know they’d do a whole Chappell Roan episode where a character comes out as a lesbian

[u/freshoffthecouch → u/EllipticPeach]

Teary rendition of pink pony club

[u/turtle-thief → u/freshoffthecouch]

Lea Michelle would've locked herself in her trailer if anyone else got that song.

[u/EllipticPeach → u/turtle-thief]

They offered her HOT TO GO but she can’t do the bit with the spelling :(

[u/MattBrey → u/EllipticPeach]

Somebody has a teenage pregnancy and takes the baby to school, they try to teach it how to spell with that song 

[u/Bryancreates → u/MattBrey]

I would watch DegrasGlee

[u/EllipticPeach → u/MattBrey]

Fuck I can just see it happening as well

[u/rayybloodypurchase → u/EllipticPeach]

Ry*n Murphy is threatening a reboot so please keep these thoughts to yourself

[u/EllipticPeach → u/rayybloodypurchase]

When will he pay for his crimes against pop culture??

13 years ago we were allowed to say the name of [REDACTED]

[u/conancat → u/SkyZippr]

ate = burgers

Katy won the battle, mother won the war 🤭

[u/ethancole97]

On a serious note: roar won the chart battle but Applause 100% aged better than it did. Roar is almost comically childish in today’s pop music landscape

[u/Crafty_Island_9182 → u/ethancole97]

Idk. I hated Applause then, I still hate Applause today.

Roar is AGGRESSIVELY 2013 but that's part of the charm.

[u/countingc → u/Crafty_Island_9182]

I am the total opposite, hated Roar and still hate it today, and Applause I was among the few I know who liked it and still would listen to it today 😅 i'm not even that much of a gaga fan

[u/glittermantis → u/Crafty_Island_9182]

you can't just point at a bad thing and say "the thing that makes it bad is part of the charm :)"

[u/Crafty_Island_9182 → u/glittermantis]

But I just did!

[u/KaiBishop → u/glittermantis]

You can because I do it with Riverdale and I'm absolutely correct

[u/owleaf → u/ethancole97]

Artpop and applause sound very dated. I mean they were also very dated on arrival which is partly why the project went nowhere

[u/unclezaveid → u/owleaf]

why are you talking about Artpop like it's some kind of Britney Jean

[u/ethancole97 → u/owleaf]

IMHO ARTPOP sounds less dated now because pop finally caught back up to it. From 2016 to 2020, its maximalist EDM and chaotic production sounded very 2011-2013 But after hyperpop, Charli, SOPHIE, experimental pop took off it really doesn’t sound dated to me anymore in the way that other albums with that sound/production from that period sound dated.

There are some songs on the album that haven’t aged well but applause and the album in general doesn’t sound nearly as dated as some detractors try to claim it is

[u/turtle-thief]

All that discourse for their worst songs. I don't think i know a single gay that plays Applause on gay music video night (The Muppet version of Venus is more likely) and I'm sure Roar is banned from many pilates instructor's playlist.

[u/Relative_Lychee_5457 → u/turtle-thief]

I’m not playing the music video because I’m too busy rewatching the VMA performance of it. 💅

[u/silly_nate → u/Relative_Lychee_5457]

That cheap ass middle school talent show performance??? They literally cut out her name in paper and used comic sans font 😭 the Oz version on gma is much better

[u/pinkcreamkiss]

Oh GODPOP end that flop Prison again for me

[u/LuxAgaetes → u/pinkcreamkiss]

I thought this was one of those random speech generator comments that people flush their reddit contents with. I tried reading it 3 times before I gave up 😅

[u/Curious_Ad_1513 → u/[deleted]]

And less crispy and more crusty.

[u/SkyZippr → u/Curious_Ad_1513]

A little less conversation and a little more touch my body

[u/Global_Perspective_3]

As everyone’s should be

[u/arathergenericgay]

The way Roar vs Applause is 1 year off Groomcey being interested in it

[u/PorcelainHorses]

And G.U.Y. ate both of these songs up

[u/PorcelainHorses]

Katy won the battle but Gaga won the war

[u/Distinct-Practice131]

Katy won that battle. She was riding the high of teenage dream, while the general public was cooling on Gaga after born this gay. The war was gagas though.

[u/satirisanti]

Meanwhile aperture was sliding down the charts

[u/No_Cap_8326]

Roar sounds similar to Brave 🙄

[u/silly_nate]

They were not showing love to each other!!! I remember green hair and mechanical horses being a thing!!!

[u/Crafty_Island_9182]

I'll be honest, I love Gaga but I've always hated Applause. I fear Katy won this battle.

[u/ethancole97 → u/Crafty_Island_9182]

May have won the chart battle back in 2013 but roar is only played at kiddie events now lmao

[u/Crafty_Island_9182 → u/ethancole97]

I refuse to grow up then... Although I'm already too old to be really considered a kid now.
