Night School the taste

Thank-you. I mean, but really, when you think about it, Sophie's music (and more or less the PC Music gang too) have been taking an ironic approach to the current or past pop trends. GFOTY's music is probably the best example. Like, "Friday Night's" lyrics just basically being about going to a club just to suck some dicks in a bathroom stall and hook-up with multiple guys, which are being contrasted by the jittery-energetic techno-inspired beat and melody. I mean, familiar things can be said about Charli's "Vroom Vroom", or QT's "Hey QT", which was basically a hyperbolized parody of the then-current minimal-future-house trends.

It's not the future of pop, but more like a hypothesis within itself. Just like how back in the 60's people thought the fashion of the future would be all made out of translucent plastic, yet eventually that hypothesis turned around itself and that plastic fashion idea is now usually seen as part of the 60's zeitgeist. I mean, I can see the PC Music sound becoming a thing in the near future, but more "digestible" and having a way less experimental approach. Part of what makes PC Music so exciting is the unpredictability of those sonic effects (especially in Sophie's music), whereas mainstream pop productions are more or less based on predictability. Not saying that predictability is a bad thing tho.
