Ariana Grande as a 1980s pop star
She would have been a huge star. Ariana Grande as a 1980s pop star probably fits her style better than modern music.

This is for all the people who think modern pop music is awful. Styles just change.

Yes, but no matter how you cut it, 1980's had many more authentic, memorable, heart-touching melodies than today.

I agree with you, but there's still plenty of good music being recorded today.

But it's largely buried, and technology has reduced it to a YouTube link amongst thousands that's played on lo-fi speakerphones and often forgotten about after it's heard.

She's cute same with Nikki Minaj.
Without music we'd just be instruments to their will.

This wasn't a big hit. It barely broke the top 40 back in '83.

Why? The singing is irrigating me to the point of giving me a headache. It's just a simple, boring, monotonous guitar riff repeated throughout the song with a simple, boring, monotonous chorus and no depth to the lyrics.

There's literally nothing there. Everything about it is monotonous and boring. There's no food for thought and no energy in the song.

Your example reminds me of "Killing an Arab" by The Cure in terms of musical and lyrical simplicity and monotony. The difference is that "Killing an Arab" has a deep, heavy message, a lot of energy, and some musical originality. Thus, I give "Killing an Arab" 7/10 and your example 2/10.

 Quoting: rob2


She has come to epitomize 80s values: worshipping materialism and superficiality.

The only significant difference between the following song and "Material Girl" by Madonna is the fact that Ariana Grande is talking about being independent rather than leeching off a man. She should be commended for that.

Wouldn't have lasted 5 minutes.

Would have been singing in the church choir!

How old were you in the 80s? Grande's style of singing was very popular.
