The “sad girl pop” sub genre has created a space for women to talk about their darker emotions, but has it become an oversimplification that hides what these women are truly trying to say?
Ethel Cain’s 2022 hit “American Teenager,” from her album Preacher’s Daughter, has been rapidly gaining attention lately after being included on former President Barack Obama’s “end of year roundup” playlist. The playlist has become a tradition for the former president, in which he lists his favorite songs that came out that year.
Ironically, “American Teenager” heavily critiques patriotism and the United State’s involvement in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan with the lyrics, “Another high-school football team/ The neighbor's brother came home in a box/ But he wanted to go so maybe it was his fault/ Another red heart taken by the American dream.
These years simultaneously saw the rise of artists such as Lana Del Rey, Halsey, and Sky Ferreira, who created moody, indie pop tunes that are still beloved by the generation. Though it should be noted that grungy, emotional pop music that could be described as “sad girl pop” has existed for years with artists such as Kate Bush, Fiona Apple, Alanis Morissette, and many others.
