  • Welcome back to Pop Dissected! Today, we're going to be discussing Katy Perry's second studio record, "Teenage Dream."
    We're going to discuss what made this era so iconic for Katy. Was it the nostalgic hits? Or perhaps her larger than life persona? There are many factors that contribute to the success of this era, and we're going to break them down all.
    We'll additionally go through a brief background of her first record, "One of the Boys", where we see many factors utilized in the "Teenage Dream" era in their infancy.

    Katy perry's teenage dream era was the time where music was fun, vibrant, dance-pop oriented, maximalist, and mostly about partying and having fun. Nowadays music is more minimalist and trap-oriented, also somehow more personal and mellow. But yeah that's how music history works, a genre is born, then it's getting popular and reached its peak, and soon it's declined, but it's never died

      Smile, in sound, videos and promotion is by it's very definition, the sequel to Teenage Dream. The difference, however, is that 'critics' and 'radio stations' have completely dropped her and bash Katy at every chance they get. If Smile was released in 2010, it would have the same impact on the charts as Teenage Dream. The singles from this era are spectacular, and in my humble opinion, her best cohesive album as a whole.

    I will never forget this era of music. Teenage dream still remains my #1 Katy Perry song of all time it take me back to middle school era. I believe what made teenage dream successful was in the mindset of the electropop sound movement flourishing and you have to remember at the time a lot of pop stars in that movement had more darker and mature music and public persona including lady Gaga, Rihanna and Kesha. I feel Katy more colorful, friendly music and image made her more appealing and crossover

    I believe her relationship with Russell Brand during the Teenage Dream-era also contributed to her success. She went from the early days of being a single woman ("California Gurls") to falling in love ("Teenage Dream"), to realizing her worth ("Firework"), to deepening her infatuation ("E.T"), to having a wild celebration anthem ("Last Friday Night"), to having a moment when she missed her first love (assumed to be Travie McCoy - notice Perry's styling reverted to the One of the Boys-era in the flashbacks of the video of "The One That Got Away"), to then falling out of love with her current lover and breaking up ("Part of Me"), to coming to terms with the growth and development of self as she healed ("Wide Awake"). All the while, each of these steps were mirrored in her own relationship/marriage/divorce with Russell Brand. She Taylor Swift-ed herself in real time during her record cycle, and we were there, rabid and titillated, watching the drama unfold with glee as we ate up her sonic emotional experiences. I think if she had stripped "The One That Got Away" to an acoustic version, it would have topped the charts; the performances by Richard Marx and Selena Gomez proved that song could stand on its own merits as a bare piece, and it was a missed opportunity.

    Katy is a great example to follow, she was too poor, she didn't even have money to go to him dentist (that's why he doesn't have straight teeth) but she kept fighting, closing them her 5 labels, many albums didn't come out because the labels canceled the project, but when I got to Capitol record she was able to set her record after years of fighting, she has 9 #1 the best-selling era, she has the same record with pop king Michael Jackson , Firework is the best-selling female song (Firework is a anthem to love you yourself because you're perfect to Your way) (In conclusion she is an example to follow, she had nothing, her way was very hard, but I fight for her dreams, you can do it too)
    And witness are good but.... People dont Like That she's cup her hair and put yellow (the original color of her hair)

      The Fame Monster Era beats it no questions asked. Gaga spawned 3 iconic singles from that era (more if she wanted to release more singles), with the lead Bad Romance going on the reach diamond. Every music video is still an iconic piece of art, and the tour, which lasted only 6 months longer than the California Dreams Tour made over 4 times as much money, with a box office of around $224 million (that’s what Wikipedia says, and yes I checked the box office of the California Dreams tour which is around 59 million. I was really shocked, honestly I thought it was a mistake). Every single song on that album reached the top 10 in at least one country. (Minus speechless and teeth. Speechless without being a single reached into the Hot 100, which is not easy to do. Teeth is just so different but it still charted I think in Hungary). Not to mention it sold over 15 million copies worldwide. The Fame Monster beats Teenage Dream undoubtedly. But I still love both and both were my childhood, don’t hate either.

      I don't understand why LMs hate Katy and always drag her...... Since they think that Gaga is better than Katy so lemme clear that ...
      1. Katy sold more records(Album+singles) both according to RIAA certified sales and SPS worldwide methodology. Teenage Dream is the Best Selling Record Of All Time beating Michael Jackson's Thriller...She
      Is one of the best selling artists of all time. TD sold more than 65 million records while others didn't even cross 50m, So I think that's clear that Katy sold more records and Singles.. In albums Gaga sold a bit more just because She has 6 albums and TFM is two albums combined so plz stop thinking its better than TD..... There are so many sales records she broke that I can't even list them all so go check them yourself if it's hard for u to understand this...
      2. Coming to streams Katy outstreamed her on every single platform... She is one of the most streamed artists of all time with over 45 billion streams and Gaga isn't even present on those lists.... Again there are many records in streams but I won't be listing them.
      3. Coming to chart success as u must know Katy ranks at 25th on the greatest artists of all time while Gaga is somewhere in 90th rank or even below... Katy has more No. 1s and More Hits than her. She has better chart history without even much collabs whereas Gaga had to collaborate with Ari and BP right now too.
      4. Coming to Tours TFM tour was combination of 2 separate album reissued as one but technically there are 2 albums which she performed so obviously it had to gross more Than CDT. Prismatic World Tour grossed over 204m dollars and that was also a solo album but Gaga's highest grossing solo album your was BTWT which grossed over 180m dollars so Katy grossed more as solo she didn't merge s two albums to get a hit....
      5. Coming to Popularity and Impact because LMs think that Gaga is the most popular person on the planet even more than Jesus... Katy has a bigger fan following on every platform.. Go check it out if ur doubtful.
      Coming on impact Katy didn't make Satanic and Demonic Songs she always made Something that every age can enjoy... TD is the most influential era of 2010s and So many artists are influenced by Katy like Ari, Dua and many more so she's more impactful ....
      Ending this now hope I broke ur delusion down to pieces now stop Hating On Katy and move on or support ur fave.. ❤
      Have a good day cuz my fave always taught the world to spread love and kindness ✨😊

    It was the soundtrack to literally my teenage years. I was 13/14 and going to a boarding high school across my country and being away from my parents was so hard. Yet, I made my best friends over there and I have great memories spending time with them at the lake, getting my first kiss, the usual high school stuff. It was my soundtrack for those summers, and listening to this record reminds me that life goes fast really fast, but that those memories remain.
    Listen, is it the best album of all time? Probably not, it didn't even get good reviews at the time, but the era in itself, with huge music videos and the songs everywhere on the radio, it was a magical time in the music industry.
    Whatever Katy does, I will forever be grateful to those memories that take me back when I press play on this record.

    Imo the success can be attributed to a multitude of things. The most obvious is the genius pairing of Dr. Luke & Max Martin with the amazing lyricism of Katy and Bonnie McKee. Besides the singles specifically, the album as a whole has a *very* strong visual & thematic motif -- i.e. things connected with the teen life stage which automatically gets the target demographic of consumers hooked, but it also resonates with young adults and adults in general as many of the songs capture that longing and a sense of nostalgia for easier times gone by. The album encapsulates so much from first loves, self-acceptance, breakups, abusive relationships, to plain old partying & feel-good anthems. The true genius of the era (for me anyway), however, lies in the very special and one-of-a-kind promotional cycle that turned every single song into an event with its own unique visuals and aesthetics. It's literally successful album era 101. Katy not only reinvented herself with Teenage Dream the album, she was reinventing herself with every single song she put out, and I think she was able to do that because the album itself is not very cohesive (as was mentioned in the video); all of the songs are bops but they're more like these self-contained universes, so each of the songs sounded fresh and new at the time of their release. I also feel like many people didn't really believe in Katy when the album was out. I remember people thought she'd flop after California Gurls, but then Teenage Dream came out and went #1, then Firework became a surprise hit, and then E.T. etc. she kept surprising people with the singles and she consistently kept setting the bar higher and higher.

It felt like unabashed fun pop; there wasn’t necessarily a statement or movement behind it, it was just for good pop fun.

    • @popdissected4400
      @popdissected4400  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Exactly! These days, #1s can easily be obtained with streams. I'm not saying that isn't legitimate, but sales generally come from streaming equivalent units. Back then, you had to BUY records and songs, which makes it even more impressive!

    Even when it was new, the song Teenage Dream made me feel nostalgic while listening to it and i hadn't even experienced my "teenage dream" years then. There's just something about that song it's really pop perfection.

    I remember we were only a bunch of 9-year-olds when it was released but when the music videos were released on youtube, we would watch it during our ICT class whenever the teacher isn't around. Lmao it was like an awakening to the pop culture world.

    “Teenage Dream” is my favorite album by her and one of my favorite albums of all time! I was 10 when it first came out and I got to hang out with it over this last decade! I keep coming back to it, and will always do so! It was successful because it’s indescribable nostalgia.
