A Definitive History in "Slut-Pop"***** i dont condone the word slut before ya jump, but as history will have it, it is what it is, we'll take back the term gorls, think empowering, think destinys child anthem, think underarm hair, fuck men, anyway, the best thing to come outta the word slut is slut popslut pop
slut-pop
slət-PaHp/
noun
1.
a sub-caterogy of pop music where its straight bops & bangers, like just straight to the fuckin point, might mention bjs, pannies, dick, ass, and stuff that otherwise mainstream pop wont dare gurl, it usually features a sole female singer, usually moderately to super attractive, usually scantily clad, usually not needing aretha level vocals (mariah carey subverted this i guess)
70sslut-pop probably goes back as far as popular music does but for times sake i'll start in the 70s, the musicality of slutpop in the 70s was that of softness, it was almosty shy, demure, blurry, tender, it wasn't brash, it was hinted, it was feminine. the pioneer of the genre, donna summer (who doesn't get enough credit when were talking about popular music in general) really initiated the genre as we know it today, she started the template of an artist being mostly produced by someone else, being a muse of sorts, giving u visuals, and she turned out the music industry with "love to love you" ushering in an era of pop gorls being more sexually free in appearance, lyrically and perfomance-wise
Pionerring Hit: Donna Summer - "Love To Love You"
Subsequent Hits:Andrea True Connection - "More, More, More"
Notable lyrics:

Notable lyrics:
"Voulez vous coucher avec moi?"The Staple Singers - "Let's Do It Again"
Notably lyrics:
"I'm not a girl that could linger, but I feel like a butter finger"80sthe 80s basically disregarded all of the slutpop of the 70s, alot of the 80s slutpop was either r&b based or pop with an r&b angle, the beats were smutty, the lyrics were more forward, but had a tinge of luxury and personal opinions aside, madonna slayed and basically invented slutpop of the 80s
Pioneering Hit: Madonna - "Like a Virgin"
Subsequent Hits:Samantha Fox - "Touch Me (I Want Your Body"
Notable lyrics: the whole song but ..
"Like a tramp in the nightI was begging for you

Salt N Pepa - "Push It"
Notable lyrics:
"Can't you hear the music's pumpin' hard like I wish you would? Now push it"90smainstream wise the 90s basically belonged to r&b and i could make a whole other post about slut-pop made by guys but "if" by janet jackson was a big moment in slut-pop because up until that point jan was pretty much a goody two shoes, but she gives the gorls straight up dirty sleazy slut pop magnum opus
