Bops Born From Economic Flops: what is recession pop? 😯🪩
How Financial Flops Birth Lit Pop Anthems 🎶🕺🏼🪩💃🏻
If there’s one thing that’s consistent in the world, it’s that when there’s a recession, there will be great pop music! 🎶
What do pop music and a recession have to do with each other? 🤔
It’s often observed that during financial crises or when the economy is headed for the worst, the BPM in dance and pop music rises, incorporating a care-free attitude in the lyrics that encourages people to forget their troubles and just go to the club. 💃🪩🕺
It looks like we’re there as we continue to have a pop girl summer and dance to hits like “Club Classics” and “HOT-TO-GO”.
With fast, fun beats and care-free lyrics recession pop says: release your cares through dance, your problems–well, they’re tomorrow’s problems. 🥳🪩
