She cleared the indie boy demographic so badly they never recovered.

Remember when Katy Perry had that song “Ur so gay” and the opening line was “I hope you hang yourself with your H&M scarf”? That was CRAZY

@perryssaince1 She needs to leave that label!

[The E.T. Press @TheETPress]

Fun fact: Katy Perry's "I kissed a girl" was the 1,000th #1 song of the rock era on the Hot 100.

It is also the longest-running #1 song released by any artist from Capitol records this century.

This is a very sensitive topic. The decline of pop music began when the industry tried to suppress Katy Perry for being too successful. Since then, the charts have never carried the same weight.

A Katy Perry top 10 meant undeniable quality!! Nowadays almost anything can reach #1... and one thing about the public?? they will always find their way back to prime Katy Perry.

The fact that she was the taylor swift of the music industry at one point…

@kalisredmoon Ohhh we're getting that acclaim with kp7

In 2023, Stereogum's chief editor (Tom Breihan) published an explicit article in which he reflected on his experience working at Pitchfork in 2010 and the publication's editorial bias culture at the time.

He said that while he & Ryan Dombal were working there, Ryan sent him "Teenage Dream" because he immediately loved it despite Pitchfork's higher-ups having already decided Katy Perry was “insufficiently cool” and therefore not worth covering. Breihan admitted he loved the album too.

He also highlighted the irony of him being a grown man working for a publication that "wouldn't take Katy Perry seriously until after her biggest moment had passed." Pitchfork didn't review Teenage Dream until 2021, more than a decade after its 2010 release.
