pop songs where the lyrics feel like they’re about nothing

[datawrangler92]

seriously, what’s with tracks where the lyrics are just random phrases strung together? like they sound cool but if you actually think about it, it’s just vibes with no meaning it’s not even poetic gibberish, just… nothing. like that one song where they just repeat “blue jeans, red dress” for half the chorus. whats the point? is it supposed to be abstract art or did they run out of ideas? tbh dont get me wrong, i like a good bop, but sometimes it feels like they’re banking on people not paying attention anyone else feel this way or am i overthinking it? lowkey also, link me if you know songs like this so i can cringe at them too.

i mean, sometimes it’s just about the vibe, right? like, who cares if the lyrics are 'nothing' if the beat slaps and it makes you wanna dance honestly isn’t that kind of the point of a pop song? i get what you’re saying but also, gimme a catchy hook over deep lyrics any day. not everything has to be profound tbh i think ‘blue jeans, red dress’ works because it’s stupidly simple and sticks in your head. yeah it’s dumb but that’s why it works?? lowkey we all gotta admit we’ve sung along to worse also, isn’t half the fun of pop music laughing at how ridiculous it can be while still enjoying it? idk man, i feel like you might be overthinking this one. (also, side note: isn’t ‘abstract art’ just a fancy way of saying ‘i dont get it but it looks cool’? maybe that’s what these songs are. who knows.)
