self-aware generic music does not make it any less generic. it's like calling britney jean a parody of soulless pop artists who attempt to re-market themselves as introspective and personal. it doesn't make the record any more clever.

Britney Jean is a generic pop record. Electra Heart is not.
Tell me, what's generic about this?
Girls and their curls and their gourmet vomit
Boys and their toys and their six inch rockets
We're all very lovely 'til we get to know each other
As we stop becoming friends and we start becoming lovers
If that had played on the radio back then, do you think she would've took Katy's demographic, or something? Wouldn't the parents have been mortified at the lyric alluding to an eating disorder alone? If she was singing about things popular in the GP back then (see: Starships by Nicki Minaj) I'd see your point.
Electra Heart touches on one's vapidity, eating disorder, love, depression, and rejection. Super generic and stuff. Sounds like a Godsha album.
Taylor never made good country songs. Kacey is a thousand times better anyway.
