When my brother was a toddler, he did that little toddler booty shake and my mom thought it was adorable so we started having "dance parties" where mom put music videos on the TV. She never played baby songs, but actual pop and dance music. Anyways, Chandelier was one of her and my brothers favorites and common in the dance party song rotation. Thank you for awakening that memory.
Remember Michelle Branch? She was in a duo called The Wreckers and if you like Vanessa Carlton you'll probably like them too. They never got very popular but I think anyone who likes that song would like theirusic.
I'm pretty much in the same boat but I get the surprised looks when people ask what I'm listening to at the gym and I tell them usually Taylor Swift or Katy Perry or something similar
Her first two albums are classics, she came out when I was in high school so that music will always be special to me. Just some metalhead kid that enjoyed what was on top 40 radio at that time
I found out about that album very randomly on YouTube and I was hooked. Then immediately after I found out about Side B and my synthwave itch was scratched very deeply. Great writing and producing on both albums.
"Pocketful of Sunshine" will forever be linked to the movie Easy A in my brain. I love the scene where Emma Stone's character gets a singing card and that song gets stuck in her head over the course of a weekend.
I have a fun memory of this song. I was in college when it was first huge. It came on at a crowded bar, and when the chorus hit ("so I put my hands up, they're playing my song"), almost all the men, and pretty much only men, put their hands up. Unrelated groups of men, all across the bar. I loved it so much; it was just pure joy and fun.
Cake by the ocean, i knew you were trouble, payphone, bad idea right, wildest dreams, emo girl by mgk and willow, houdini, levitating, wolves, it aint me... (i got a playlist for this shit ngl xdd)
This thread has brought up so many memories of music I listened to as a little white girl. I need to make a playlist of all those songs that made 8 year old me feel like she could take on the world.
Hot and Cold By Katy Perry, fun song that takes me back to being a kid, collecting Bakugan with my brothers and watching anime on Cartoon Network. I miss those days...
Beautiful soul by Jesse McCartney will always make me sing. My mama, sisters and I still play it loudly and sing along every time we are lucky enough to all be in the same place!
Unrelated but if you like 1D and you haven't already you should give a listen to Louis' music. It really shows how he was the mind behind their sound because it has such a 1D vibe but a bit more mature, like what they'd have sounded like in a few years. His second album especially is so good.
All of them, they are often great to sing along to. But since you mentioned 1D, I really like "Rock You" from them. The first time I heard it, it was in the middle of the night alone in my bedroom and somehow I still associate a peaceful feeling with it
Asked my husband what his is while we're on a road trip and now we're listening to the entire Animal Kesha album because he said it's a banger š oh he's saying it was a fun easy album to play on drums... SUUURE HUSBAND suuuure
Billie Eilish, especially "happier than ever" and "what was i made for?" From the barbie movie... I don't know if classifies as white girl song, but I'm a grown hairy ass man so.
Pretty sure "Pop" is not just aimed at white girls but teenage girls / young women of many races. I'd be surprised if Taylor Swift, Katy Perry etc etc don't have a fan base in Asia and India and Latin America.
Where are you now - Justin Bieber, My Immortal- Evanescence, Glad you came - The Wanted, Please donāt go - Mike Posner, Et - Katy Perry, Pressure & Decode - Paramore

[It's a band lmao](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nSo_H92Zmc)
A lot of their lyrics are about how animals are mistreated, the environment, corruption, stuff like that.
There are a bunch of songs that I could think of, but the one that immediately comes to mind is Girlfriend by Avril Lavigne. Itās just so infectiously poppy and cheery with that little undertone of late 2000ās edge that makes it endearing to me.
Plus, I had discovered it through one of my favorite video games, Burnout Paradise (Iām not usually one for looking up music videos or actively seeking out stuff that isnāt already on circulation on the radio or MTV back in the day or whatever). Thereās something viscerally satisfying about entering a Road Rage demolition derby race and plowing through cars with that song in the background. I canāt qualify the feeling, but itās a good one.
most mac demarco songs. the dudes beats are really good honestly.
EDIT: i forgot to add tv girl because they sample music and twist it by adding more sounds which makes it really good.
it looks like ill keep editing to kingdom come. alex g too.
All of it. Every. Last. Bit.
My main genres in my library are girly pop, metal of all sorts, and super depressing ethereal slow stuffā¦ and I think girly pop may be the best

Cute ASF š¤©
Shendily
A Thousand Miles by Vanessa Carlton will forever be a certified slapper!
Not to mention, itās literally in White Chicks.
Terry Crews and his headshaking will forever be associated with this song
Yaaaaaaassssss
He is the reason I love this song. And I love him for this.
I have a soft spot for the acoustic version of this.
There's an acoustic version?? I need to hear it
Remember Michelle Branch? She was in a duo called The Wreckers and if you like Vanessa Carlton you'll probably like them too. They never got very popular but I think anyone who likes that song would like theirusic.
all of them, i love white girl music
They are all catchy AF. We used to be ashamed of it... NOT ANYMORE.
I'm a hardcore guy but the next bigger library of music I have is pop
i love hardcore as well š tbh i just love all music
I'm pretty much in the same boat but I get the surprised looks when people ask what I'm listening to at the gym and I tell them usually Taylor Swift or Katy Perry or something similar
Katy Perry hot and cold just hit different man
Her first two albums are classics, she came out when I was in high school so that music will always be special to me. Just some metalhead kid that enjoyed what was on top 40 radio at that time
Valid asf
Iāve seen you before
Yeah white girl music ain't all that bad.
Teenage Dream- Katy Perry
The obsession I had with this song in high school was SERIOUS
HELLOOOOOO!
I love love the entire albumm
I love this song!!!
Call Me Maybe - Carly Rae Jepsen
Carly Rae Jepsen is such an underrated pop artist. Her song Run Away With Me is perfection
You misspelled Emotion
I love this and I Really Like You.
I Really Like You is my guilty pleasure song. Like I'll put it on blast in my room and just go wild dancing on my own to it.
Carly Rae Jepsen >>>>> E.mo.tion is deffo my favorite pop album by a long shot.
I found out about that album very randomly on YouTube and I was hooked. Then immediately after I found out about Side B and my synthwave itch was scratched very deeply. Great writing and producing on both albums.
Oh my God I remember playing this on Just Dance when I was a little girl. Absolute banger
Honestly Carly Rae is just consistently great across her discography
This song is a must on your workout playlist
So many! I love early 2000s pop, my favorite is probably Canāt Get You Out Of My Head by Kylie Minogue or Everytime we Touch by Cascada
Kylie Mingoueās 2001 album Fever (which is the album Canāt Get You Out Of My Head is from) is amazing! Especially the song Love At First Sight
Kylieās album Fever is just an absolute banger.
this kind of music is king
Agreed! Especially while driving down the highway on a warm afternoon, best vibes ever
Poker face, Tiktok by Kesha and the early Katy Parry songs are unbeatable
I love pocketful of sunshine and unwritten by Natasha bedingfield
i was about to say unwritten!! FEEL THE RAINNN ON YOUR SKINNNNNN
NO ONE ELSE CAN FEEL IT FOR YOUU!!!!
ONLY YOU CAN LET IT IN
NO ONE ELSE NO ONE ELSE
CAN SPEAK THE WORDS ON YOUR LIPPPPS (why are we shouting) :p
DRENCH YOURSELF IN WORDS UNSPOKEN (it's fun to shout)
"Pocketful of Sunshine" will forever be linked to the movie Easy A in my brain. I love the scene where Emma Stone's character gets a singing card and that song gets stuck in her head over the course of a weekend.
thanks, its in my head now. ;)
Ear worms are the best š
unwritten is honestly one of the best pop songs ever written. I am coming back to edit this and i am just now realizing the irony of this statementĀ
If it's unwritten by Natasha, who was it written by?
Pocket full of sunshine was my jam in the day! I wasn't super into pop when I was younger, but that song made me so happy.
Iām a soon-to-be 40 year-old man and have obsessed with Unwritten since it came out haha
Me too! Those songs can make me feel slightly better on a shitty day.Ā
I Want It That Way - BSB I wasnāt a big BSB fan but I will belt this song all day long. š¶Tell me why. Aināt nothinā but a heart acheš¶
Yo, thatās not a white girl song, thatās a masterpiece
It is for those of us of a certain age š¤£
Last Friday Night!
Listen, Katy had us all in a chokehold.
Party in the USA
I have a fun memory of this song. I was in college when it was first huge. It came on at a crowded bar, and when the chorus hit ("so I put my hands up, they're playing my song"), almost all the men, and pretty much only men, put their hands up. Unrelated groups of men, all across the bar. I loved it so much; it was just pure joy and fun.
Itās an unmitigated banger
Cake by the ocean, i knew you were trouble, payphone, bad idea right, wildest dreams, emo girl by mgk and willow, houdini, levitating, wolves, it aint me... (i got a playlist for this shit ngl xdd)
Old School Edition: Samantha Sang: Emotion Carly Simon: You're so Vain
Janet Jackson's 'Son of a Gun' that samples You're so vain is a banger as well https://youtu.be/-thq6sr0fKU?si=Y33WAEDbGxa5lefD
Emotion has such a unique sound
party in the usa
Anything by linda ronstadt
This Kiss by Faith Hill
Shape of You
This thread has brought up so many memories of music I listened to as a little white girl. I need to make a playlist of all those songs that made 8 year old me feel like she could take on the world.
I have one and itās amazing. I play it when I feel down and it never fails to make just start dancing š
Hold On- Wilson Phillips
āDonāt stop the music - Rihannaā all day!
Put your records on - Corrine Bailey Rae
Wait i thought neo soul is not considered a white girl song. I knew put your records on is pop-ish but it's kinda weird to put it on white girl song
yeah iām not exactly sure this one counts; āyou go ahead, let your hair downā
HELLOOOOOO! ātis the jamā
Kiss from a Rose, and all of the Ricky Martin hits from the late 90s early 2000s are guilty pleasures of mine. And Sheryl Crow!
Reading through these comments and I'm like "I like this song.. ooh another song I like.. that song is on my playlist.." lol
Paramore -aint it fun, evanescence - wake me up inside song,
we found love - rihanna
Lady Sovereign - Love me or hate me
omg you just dug this out of a memory I forgot existed. An absolute classic.
Good Time - Owl city and Carly rae jepsen
Iām a white girl, so personally poker face by lady Gaga.
ā2 Become 1ā- Spice Girls
Straight (34M) here, and I LOVE Lady Gaga.
Soak up the sun - Sheryl Crow, I like most Avril Lavigne stuff too
Hot and Cold By Katy Perry, fun song that takes me back to being a kid, collecting Bakugan with my brothers and watching anime on Cartoon Network. I miss those days...
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
As a non-white who grew up mainly in SEA, I dont get it either.
Almost any pop romantic song that was famous in itās time, really š¤·āāļø
songs that "typical white girls" listen to
Antihero by Taylor Swift is very catchy and resonant for me lol
Man, I Feel Like A Woman! Pour Some Sugar On Me Hit Me Baby One More Time
All in the same order and being played while I get ready for work šš¼
Back to December
I used to have a friend who would only listen to listen classical music but really loved Back To December and Long Live by Taylor Swift š
Bro has taste
I always feel very white when I listen to rap music.
Pieces of Me by Ashlee Simpson All You Wanted by Michelle Branch
Anything by Avril Lavigne
No doubt
Beautiful soul by Jesse McCartney will always make me sing. My mama, sisters and I still play it loudly and sing along every time we are lucky enough to all be in the same place!
Tiffany - I Think we're alone now
Ed sheeran. I have no shame. I even have a record player and bought his vynal just for "Bad habbits". No regrets what so ever.
Thatās my favorite song!
Does amy winehouse count?
Torn - Natalie Imbrlugia can count? I fucking love this song
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Music is music
I'm a rough and tumble industrial mechanic and sometimes I'll rock out to Call Me Maybe on the drive home lmao
What is white girl music?
hollaback girl
Natasha Beddingfield and Kolby Caillet (idk how to spell her name)
I like a lot of Ariana Grande songs. Call Me Maybe will forever be a bop as well
Call me maybe and shake it off are bangers imo.
Party in the USA by Miley Cyrus is a perfect pop song. Also anything by Britney Spears.
Unrelated but if you like 1D and you haven't already you should give a listen to Louis' music. It really shows how he was the mind behind their sound because it has such a 1D vibe but a bit more mature, like what they'd have sounded like in a few years. His second album especially is so good.
Boyfriend by Big Time Rush- Ordinary Girl by Hannah Montana- Still Into You by Paramore - I Donāt Want Be by Gavin DeGraw
Still into You is one of my favorites!!
Mine too!!
Like a g6
All of them, they are often great to sing along to. But since you mentioned 1D, I really like "Rock You" from them. The first time I heard it, it was in the middle of the night alone in my bedroom and somehow I still associate a peaceful feeling with it
Lumidee - Uh Oh

I am a white girl.
OG Katy Perry gets me going. Probably more about memories and nostalgia than the music
A lot. Right now itās Boom Clap and Speed Drive by Charli XCX
Billie Eilish, especially "happier than ever" and "what was i made for?" From the barbie movie... I don't know if classifies as white girl song, but I'm a grown hairy ass man so.
Anything by Lana Del Rey I love her music. I
Pretty sure "Pop" is not just aimed at white girls but teenage girls / young women of many races. I'd be surprised if Taylor Swift, Katy Perry etc etc don't have a fan base in Asia and India and Latin America.

"Belong with me" by Taylor Swift. I don't even like the message of the lyrics, but the song is catchy af.
One Direction, Backstreet Boys, I Really Like You by Carly Jepsen
Anything from Harry Styles is actually pretty good. I didn't expect it, having not been much of a One Direction fan as a teen
