The Golden Age of Slut Pop

We are in it. Cherish it.

The genre - slut-pop - became a force to be reckoned with over the course of the past decade, emerging out of the school-girl pop of Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, who, in their respective first hits, were all sweetness and innocence with little vaunts of naughtiness - but only as naughty as a virgin who dresses like a slut. Of course, Britney and Christina wouldn't remain virgins forever, and thus with their sexual awakenings came the birth of the present age of slut-pop (Madonna being the obvious pioneer).

Here is a breif playlist of some of the more memorable classics:

Christina Aguilera: Dirrty

Britney Spears: Toxic

Beyonce: Crazy in Love

Black Eyed Peas: My Humps

Katy Perry: I Kissed a Girl

Lady Gaga: Bad Romance

Finally, sky-rocketing up the charts at this very moment is Ke$ha's Blah Blah Blah.

Let it be noted, that in 2010, an annihilating answer came to decades of the emasculate, inadequate, mainly white boys of popular music. Whatever became of the manly male vocalist after, say, circa 1984? Was it the environmental increase of Bisphenol-A and its estrogen-mimicking effects on growing boys? Or was it the pampering of baby-boomer parents? What caused manliness to give way to the pleating pathetic cry-baby "rock" of the later 80's, 90's and well into the 00's? Our hope is that this era is nearly over. Perhaps it takes hard times to make men hard again. Enough then of your 'my-feelings-are-important' blather you little worm. To your Wah Wah Wah, Ke$ha says: Blah Blah Blah!
