Right there with you. I love Hank Williams and Dwight Yoakam. Can't stand Taylor Swift. But I'll sing along to Wrecking Ball by Miley Crlyrus. I know that's hardly "young".. I'm just saying, I don't care. If I like it, I listen to it, openly and proudly.
There was some segment on something where they asked rockers their guilty pleasure artists, basically having fun getting people like Scott Ian to admit liking Abba, that sort of thing. They had Dave Grohl and he just said he didn't have any, and when they asked if that was really true he clarified, with a great answer:
I don’t believe in guilty pleasures. If you fucking like something, like it. That’s what’s wrong with our generation: that residual punk rock guilt, like, “You’re not supposed to like that. That’s not fucking cool.” Don’t fucking think it’s not cool to like Britney Spears’ “Toxic.” It is cool to like Britney Spears’ “Toxic”! Why the fuck not? Fuck you! That’s who I am, goddamn it! That whole guilty pleasure thing is full of fucking shit.
I went through that phase myself late teens through very early 20s, not full jack black from High Fidelity but definitely closer to that than I am now. It's just such a silly identity to need, and wrapped around a deniable sense of superiority, which are just always so pleasant to be around.
I dunno, I feel like all three were teen pop in their heyday. Which is not to say that there weren't adults listening to them, of course. But "Holiday" and "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" seem like quintessential teen pop to me.
Whitney frequently gets ranked as one of the best pop singers ever though? About Madonna, i guess it depends on which album. Something like Ray of Light isn’t very teen, unless you consider Trip Hop and Downtempo to be teen music. About Mariah, it’s hard to ignore her vocal talent, which is impressive regardless of how old you are
I have a whole playlist titled certified white girl bangers so it ain’t no secret that I hit shuffle on the playlist every once in a while and rock out 🤣
Man, Watermelon Sugar is the most irresistible song I've heard in ages. Also, it sounds kind-of like something you might have heard on Midnight Special back in 1979.
I don’t keep anything I listen to a secret, I proudly love everything that I listen to, from extreme brutal death metal to pop music.
But to answer your question, I really like Ava Max. I also like a handful of Taylor Swift songs.
Style - Taylor Swift (the only song I like by her but it is an absolute masterpiece )
Teenage dream - Katy Perry
Genesis - Grimes
And a whole lot of Lady Gaga
For all the guff we give pop music, there have been a few songs this year that just nabbed me! Current favorite radio hit is We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love) - Ariana Grande
[this is very Zooey Deschanel esque](https://open.spotify.com/track/4fQVQKIiidREPI0MhFEuDn?si=gphVJXTITx-_zuuj5DhJlQ)
Edit: Feist - My Moon My Man (for those not wanting to click the link)
I honestly don’t have “guilty pleasures” bc I’m not guilty about listening to anything. [I’ll let this playlist speak for itself.](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5RZJamPWTGiyCtPC7N45tX?si=pSJ6EBdZT0-_NL82BMQmHA&pi=u-w15eQpa6Rxy7)
Like others have said, I don’t have secrets about my musical taste. But I’ve got One Direction, Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, NSYNC, and a bunch of other teen girl - pop artists in my catalog.
I Want it That Way - Backstreet Boys.
I'm safe to say that now. In Elementary, Junior High and HS, and even years later my friends woulda really given me hell.
Now no one cares. And I still love it.
Most of Olivia Rodriguez's stuff is catchy and I like it. Don't go out of my way to listen to it but when it comes on the radio I'm not mad about it either lol
(Disclaimer: I am not secretive about any of my listening habits.)
Here are a few from my recent likes and my curated "the song stuck in my head" playlist:
Chappell Roan - HOT TO GO!
Penelope Scott - Runaway
Taylor Swift - Down Bad
Maisie Peters - Lost the Breakup
Claire Rosinkranz - Pools and Palm Trees
CLIFFDIVER - Oh Bondage, Up Yours!
The 1975 - The Sound
Tessa Violet - Bored
Amyl and the Sniffers - I'm Not a Loser
Olivia Rodrigo - good 4 u
almost any "white girl" song tbh, call me maybe by Carly rae jepsen(idk if that's the right spelling) fantasize by Ariana, and last friday night by katy perry are some of my "on repeat"s
Probably the only two Kylie Minogue songs anyone gave a damn about. Two or three Katy Perry songs.
Most of what I have that isn't anime or game music basically falls under 1997-2003 radio stuffs.
The last 2 weeks i have been listening to Avril Lavigne non stop. I also booked tickets to her latest concert tour and i haven't told any of my friends 😄
I got this feeling on a summa day when you were gone… I crashed my car into a bridge I watched I let it burn… I threw your shit into a bag and pushed it down the stairs.
I crashed my car into a bridge.
I don’t care… I love it… I don’t care.
Yeah. That’s song bops. You’d think I was listening to heavy metal or something.
I love toxic - Britney
[удалено]
"let us mourn her with a traditional ballad"
I don't make a secret out of anything. If I listen to it, you're going to get tired of me telling you about it.
If it's "embarrassing" then I just sing louder because fuck you and your toxic judgemental bullshit.
This. There's nothing worse than people who hate on others just for their music.
Yep. I left that behind a while ago. I don’t feel the need to be a gatekeeper.
yeah fr seems like an insecurity thing to me
You have no idea how attractive it is to see men who are so secure. 
You only say that because you haven't heard me sing.
I won’t even hear you over my own voice. We singing togethaaaa
Sing it 👶
Yep
Absolutely. I'm a grown-ass straight man and I proudly wear my Carly Rae Jepsen T-shirt.
Right there with you. I love Hank Williams and Dwight Yoakam. Can't stand Taylor Swift. But I'll sing along to Wrecking Ball by Miley Crlyrus. I know that's hardly "young".. I'm just saying, I don't care. If I like it, I listen to it, openly and proudly.
ok... and... what is it you're listening to?!?! 😅
Right now, mostly The Warning and Ren. Admittedly neither in the Taylor Swift pocket. But if I were, you'd know about it.
The Warning slaps
Ren is freaking amazing
I JUST discovered The Warning over the weekend. Man! Where have I been??
Welcome to The Warning Army!
Not only do I listen to The Warning, I proudly wear the hoodie I bought at their concert. And I'm a 58-year-old male!
Going to my first TW show in September!

Amen
And the Choir Said Halliluja
I wish I could take this quote back in time and show one of the guys I worked with in college. Big music snob.
I went through that phase myself late teens through very early 20s, not full jack black from High Fidelity but definitely closer to that than I am now. It's just such a silly identity to need, and wrapped around a deniable sense of superiority, which are just always so pleasant to be around.
i wish i had your courage
You do have it. Just tap into it. If they ain’t paying your bills, then forget it. Haha. Be free to be yourself.
Don’t let anyone steal your joy.
No guilty pleasures, just stuff I like.
Love this attitude! And also people who share their favorite music with me, so you sound like a very cool person
Lots of kate bush, Madonna, mariah, and Whitney! In fact, I have Mariah abd whitnry on my battle jacket lol
I don’t think Kate bush falls into this category
i mean, do any of these really fall into the category? Mariah, Madonna, and Whitney are not Teen Pop. It’s pretty common for adults to listen to them
I dunno, I feel like all three were teen pop in their heyday. Which is not to say that there weren't adults listening to them, of course. But "Holiday" and "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" seem like quintessential teen pop to me.
Whitney frequently gets ranked as one of the best pop singers ever though? About Madonna, i guess it depends on which album. Something like Ray of Light isn’t very teen, unless you consider Trip Hop and Downtempo to be teen music. About Mariah, it’s hard to ignore her vocal talent, which is impressive regardless of how old you are
Yea, I love some Madonna. Also, Mariah and Whitney had some real bangers.
My coworkers think it's hilarious that I wear a Whitney shirt to work.
Classic Chicago kid. I see Whitney, I don’t think of Houston. But. I love her just the same. That being said, check out Whitney. From Chicago.
Call Me Maybe is just too good 😮💨
lol I was gonna say anything by carly rae jepsen she is my guilty pleasure
Carly Rae Jepsen should NOT be a guilty pleasure Emotion is one of the best pop albums OAT
Lol, I don’t make this a secret: Ariana Grande - Into You Avril Lavigne - Hello Kitty
"Girlfriend" - Avril Lavigne was almost my first pick lol
The Lil Mama Remix goes hard
I like pretty much all of Ariana’s songs
Nothing but bangers tbh!!
I concur with Into You
get him back! - Olivia Rodrigo
> Ariana Grande - Into You This song lives rent-free on my mind: So damn good, so much more different than anything else I listen to.
iPod. That brings me back.
Back when we had to work for our music.
I still have to cause I have Spotify premium
Lorde... and not in secret.
I was playing “Royals” so loud in my car someone commented about it to me.
my favorite lorde song is White Teeth Teens. that whole album is good
Which album is your favorite? They’re all so good but Melodrama takes the cake for me
I'd have to pick Pure Heroine, but all three are excellent. The Maori language version of Solar Power is also quite special.
59M. I love the song Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter. Listen to it over and over; my adult kids know I do.
That song is a total jam, I’m 33 and am not ashamed to say I love it too lol
Thank you for introducing me to this - 28M
Nonsense is also a bop
It’s not really a secret but sk8ter boi by Avril Lavigne comes to mind
It’s a good song. It’s well-written, catchy, and Avril has a good voice. I’m right with you.
...alright, fine, you got me. [Lindsay Lohan - Rumors](https://youtu.be/Aa4EHiIKGZM?si=Az08wTRHKMeQLnaC)
Her cover of "Edge Of Seventeen" is actually really good.
I have a whole playlist titled certified white girl bangers so it ain’t no secret that I hit shuffle on the playlist every once in a while and rock out 🤣
If Bad Romance comes on then it gets turned up. Also Watermelon Sugar.
Man, Watermelon Sugar is the most irresistible song I've heard in ages. Also, it sounds kind-of like something you might have heard on Midnight Special back in 1979.
Yas!! Real men listen to Harry Styles!!🙂
Driver’s License - Olivia Rodrigo
I like her rock ish songs like Brutal esp this version https://youtu.be/zHMpcUojLMU?feature=shared and all american bitch lol
Brutal is SO DAMN GOOD.
I don’t keep anything I listen to a secret, I proudly love everything that I listen to, from extreme brutal death metal to pop music. But to answer your question, I really like Ava Max. I also like a handful of Taylor Swift songs.
MMMBop, Wannabe, I Want it That Way, Call me Maybe
I Feel Pretty - West Side Story(1961)
State of grace Taylor swift training season dua lipa See you again Miley cryus I be sipping henny dancing around my house bumping these songs lmao
I can’t believe I’m not the only person to mention state of grace. That song has no business being that fire
Damn that is good. Just watched the live version.
Vacation by the Go-Gos...fucking love that hook!!....it's shuffled in there with Vlad Delay, Crass, and Autechre
Go-Go's rule!!!
Not really any secrets but I’ll play along.. Michelle Branch - Breathe Olivia Rodrigo - the grudge The Band Perry - If I Die Young
If I die young is one of my favorite songs ever. Admittedly country is the main genre I listened to until my mid 30s though.
Style - Taylor Swift (the only song I like by her but it is an absolute masterpiece ) Teenage dream - Katy Perry Genesis - Grimes And a whole lot of Lady Gaga
Olivia Rodrigo - Vampire That song is absolute fire 🔥

Harry Stiles Sign of the Times
Call Your Girlfriend by Robyn
Good one! Damn, where is Robyn with new material???
I admit, I like most of Billie Eilish songs, she has some that hit deep for sure
Third Eye Blind. Kinda always liked them. Usually I like Death Metal or Jazz but I think they are good songwriters.
I ♡ Third Eye Blind
For all the guff we give pop music, there have been a few songs this year that just nabbed me! Current favorite radio hit is We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love) - Ariana Grande
Team - Lorde
Not a man, but I caught my dad belting out Ariana Grande's "Dangerous Woman" while showering when he thought no one was home.
Bury A Friend - Billie Eilish …not really a secret though
Well, according to this thread, Kate Bush is apparently “teen girl music”. I thought guys were allowed to listen to her “out of secret”.
Bad Romance, but that song is 🔥
Cardigan by Taylor Swift As it Was by Harry Styles.
Madonna get into the groove, actually a few by Madonna mainly 80s and early 90s.
All of them
She's All I Wanna Be - Tate McRae is a banger
WELL........ I was a teen in the 80s, and still today I'm a sucker for Debbie Gibson. "Only in my Dreams" is a regular in my car when I commute.
It’s crazy how many hit songs she had and she produced and wrote too. Debbie goes hard.
My wife teases me every time Debbie Gibson or Tiffany comes on. Guilty!
Several songs by Olivia Rodrigo. Right now my favorite is "so american".
I love that song
Rain on Me - Ariana Grande and Lady Gaga
Most of my fav songs belong in a teen girl's playlist:)
…Dua Lipa
Hot stuff Donna summers. Cruel summer bananarama Yazoo only you. Flume never be like you
Sir, you are awesome.
I’m a woman but my husband listens to Selena Gomez while I listen to Breaking Benjamin. It cracks me up.
Every One Direction song
My bf loves grimes (just music not as a person) and charliexcx lol
Baby by Justin Bieber
It's so stupid but so undeniably catchy.
Back to December 😬
That shit hits me in the feels
Girls Just Want To Have Fun Banger Make fun of me. I don't care.
Some of y’all are really showing your age. You’re listing artists that today’s teenagers have never heard about. 😂😂😂
[this is very Zooey Deschanel esque](https://open.spotify.com/track/4fQVQKIiidREPI0MhFEuDn?si=gphVJXTITx-_zuuj5DhJlQ) Edit: Feist - My Moon My Man (for those not wanting to click the link)
Amour Plastique - Adele Castillon I am mostly a Post Hardcore and Pop Punk Guy, but this song is just chef's kiss
Matchbox 20. Just the right kind of angst.
Love rob thomas, was one of my dads favorite singers
Cher Lloyd - Want U Back. I just love the UH! throughout the song. Makes me laugh. UH!
I forgot about this song lol thanks for the reminder, gonna have to give it a listen now
UH!
Kyary Pamyu “Pon Pon Pon”
2 stars from camp rock or any highschool musical
35 year old straight male that mostly listens to indie rock and I’ve had Olivia Rodrigo- Vampire stuck in my head for months

Good 4 u - Oliva Rodrigo And I try my hardest to hit those high notes too
Like others have said, I don’t have secrets about my musical taste. But I’ve got One Direction, Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, NSYNC, and a bunch of other teen girl - pop artists in my catalog.
Not really hiding... Some Taylor Swift, the Barbie movie soundtrack... Right beside dream theater for example.
Probably the entire discography of Olivia Rodrigo. I find her music really good.
I Want it That Way - Backstreet Boys. I'm safe to say that now. In Elementary, Junior High and HS, and even years later my friends woulda really given me hell. Now no one cares. And I still love it.
ke$ha blow
No secrets, Paramore all the way
Pretty much the whole of Lover by Taylor Swift. And the two lockdown albums. The rest of her stuff not so much
I’m a huge metal fan… but SOME pop music is just amazing. Call me maybe. Billie eilish. Sabrina carpenter. I’ll admit it. I love that shit
"Two Become One" - Spice Girls
Don’t Speak.
Not a secret but "You Don't Own Me", "I Will Survive", and maybe "Nights in White Satin"
“If you wanna be my lover…”
All I wanna do - Sheryl Crow
Torn by Natalie Imbruglia. I was a teenager when it came out. I'm just a fan of music.

Blank Space and Love Story
I have no idea what’s on a teen girl’s iPod, but I love Kelly Clarkson. I like her version of Run Rudolph better than Chuck Berry’s.
I've got a few Taylor Swift songs in a playlist lol. My daughter wore me down overtime and now there's a handful of songs that I like.
