As you can see, people of all ages, even 64 year olds listen to Katy Perry, more than some of her peers that debuted around the same time in fact. However, ATRL says she makes music that only appeals to kids. Can ATRL just not handle the fact that talent won?

more important question is why tf do 64 year olds listen to Robin Thicke

Those 64 year olds better get their freak on to Partition.

Some parents play music for their kids.

Luke Bryan and Blake Shelton? Yikes.

Because they kiss their offspring on their lips and they need to "be cool".

The poor taste across the board

I'm guessing they find her music relatable.

Talent always wins.

Because she's not a fad!

I think has something to do with Katy's use of instruments/production. Note most of the artists in the 64 y/o use guitars etc.

Because she's the queen of all demographics of course!

Because they too like to have fun!

perfect reason to use this gif

because her music is for adults and atrl is wrong

Because her music is catchy and contrary to ATRL's beliefs, you don't become a curmudgeon who doesn't enjoy catchy music when you get older.

so you think that artists like beyonce, queen, the beatles, fleetwood mac, elvis presley and the rolling stones are a sign of poor taste? i swear, i have seen it all on here.

good for them. they seem to keep with what younger generations listen to

But thats true. Hence why the majority of her fans are 12-16 years old kids. If adults litened to her music they would be buying her music and she would have outsold Susan Boyle in album sales by now and would have won prestigious awards like Gammys.
Also did not Sia expose Katy that she did not want metaphors that the kids would not understand hence why she rejected all Sia's songs? She knows her audence the best tbh

They most likely have hearing problems.
