jojo siwa claiming she's revitalizing gay pop and releasing 'karma' on the same night as conan gray's 'found heaven' and chappell roan's 'good luck babe' is so poetically ironic. it's like the universe WANTS to draw a comparison between jojo and queer pop artists.

the thing that makes queer pop compelling as a genre is the unique storytelling and experiences of queer artists told through their music. that doesn't necessarily mean every song by a queer artist has to be about their queerness. they don't have to scream "hey i'm gay!" in every single song they write. but claiming to be "reinventing gay pop" should mean you're telling interesting stories about your queer experience, right???

'found heaven' by conan gray is about growing up as a queer kid with religious guilt and disapproving parents. he equates being in love in an authentic way to "finding heaven", and the piece as a whole resonates with a TON of queer people in different stages of their lives. some people can look back at their childhoods and how much they've grown since then, some can relate because they're currently going through what conan's written about, and some people can sympathize with the way some queer people are treated, even if they aren't necessarily queer themselves.

'good luck babe' is a song about queerness and compulsory heterosexuality. chappell sings about a woman she was in a relationship with who decided to settle down in a conventional marriage despite being queer. the song reflects the denial a lot of queer people go through (specifically regarding the lesbian experience) and the unfortunate way a lot of them end up repressing who they are to conform to societal standards. it's fun, it's campy, but its message is still poignant.

as for karma… there's nothing inherently queer about that song. the music video for the original version, ‘karma’s a bitch’ by brit smith, featured a heterosexual storyline. jojo buying the rights to a song she didn't write isn't inherently a bad thing, a lot of mainstream artists do that all the time. however, if you're claiming to be a pioneer of the “gay pop” genre and your music doesn't reflect any queer themes or experiences, is it really “gay pop”? again, queer artists don't have to write exclusively about their queerness, but if you try to present yourself as a voice for the queer community without telling any of their stories, you're not going to be lauded as some revolutionary figure. if any of the songs on jojo’s album are actually about her experience as a lesbian or contain any queer themes, then i think she'd qualify as a “gay pop” artist. but so far, she's given us a faux edgy, generic pop song and tried to market it as some insane never-been-done-before feat. and honestly, if her entire album is like this and she continues to market herself this way, it's a slap in the face to all the genuine artists and storytellers in the queer community.

but let's stop talking about jojo siwa and start talking about the incredible queer artists who are truly breathing life into the "gay pop" genre: chappell roan, renee rapp, ben platt, conan gray, girl in red, kevin atwater, baby queen, mitski, clairo, dodie, and SO MANY MORE (feel free to add on some of your favourites because there are so many wonderful artists out there <3)

also: if you have a different perspective on this situation i would absolutely love to hear what you think and if you agree / disagree with this! i love discussing topics like this so feel free to reblog with your own take

Our English "Snow Halation" Cover!

For the winter this year, we wanted to try something different. Since we've secretly (or not-so-secretly if you follow our personal blogs) been Love Live! fans this whole time, we decided to turn our efforts toward the most legendary song in the Love Live catalog: Snow Halation, by µ's.

So we rewrote it as an English-language song and performed it with a Pacific Northwest garage rock style in our home bedroom studio, as is our way. It's a new take on a classic song, but one we tried to keep true to the original in spirit.

Please enjoy it with your holiday nog products this year, or at any time of year you so desire.

Featuring:

@nothing2seehere420 - guitar, lead vocals

@niconicorose - Farfisa and Hammond organs, electric piano, drum sequencing, tambourine, sleigh bells, backing vocals, English lyrics composition

@etrianodysseyobsession-hd - bass guitar, backing vocals, audio engineering, mixing, mastering

Find it on Spotify, Apple Music, and Bandcamp

I know exactly what you want

You want me to risk it all

On love, sex, drugs and alcohol

With you, you say I never cared at all

Guess that true, but it’s not all my fault

Feels like we both knew all along

Never felt so right to be in the wrong

Hard to find me in the night, I’m too far gone

Lately, I’ve been feeling so out of place

I’ve been lost in my ways

Looking for an escape

Said that’s I’d never change

But I’m not the same

Trippin over my words

Can’t find the right ones to say

I could try to explain myself

But something tells me that won’t help

I know I keep putting you through hell

Or at least for me that’s the way it felt

But be real

You can’t even be real with yourself

How could you keep it real with anyone else?

Now everything we had is up on the shelf

We both knew it would last, wish me well

I know exactly what you want

You want me to risk it all

On love, sex, drugs and alcohol

With you, you say I never cared at all

Guess that true, but it’s not all my fault

Feels like we both knew all along

Never felt so right to be in the wrong

Hard to find me in the night, I’m too far gone

Said I’m too far gone

Said I’m too far gone

I know exactly what you want

I know exactly what you…

That’s too bad, I can’t be what you want me to be

I’m not mad, I just know you’re not what I need

My bad, misery loving my company

Do I have to spell it out

Cause’ I know i’m hard to read

Murder what she wrote

How you watched me bleed

I know this world is cut throat

And these words cut deep

Try to find a way to cope

Soul searching for peace

Walk a thin line, emotions burst at the seams

So much for being vulnerable

Pretentious intentions

You want me to open up to you

But you were pretending

Not your fault, I got my problems

Let’s not forget to mention

Not sure what you like more

Me or all of my bad decisions

You just wanna stay out and get fucked up

Don’t give a fuck about the consequence

All tied up

In the lies you hide behind

Make it hard to trust

As it turns out

It’s exactly what I thought it was

I know exactly what you want

You want me to risk it all

On love, sex, drugs and alcohol

With you, you say I never cared at all

Guess that true, but it’s not all my fault

Feels like we both knew all along

Never felt so right to be in the wrong

Hard to find me in the night, I’m too far gone
