I avoid modern pop music in general... But I'm sorry, I will always have a soft spot for "Baby one more time" by Britney.

I would add "I want it that way" but let's be real, every dude secretly likes that song.

Attributing gender to someone's song preferences has to be the strangest example of mental gymnastics I've seen for a while.

Meh, there's a ton of songs written strictly from female perspectives or with a female audience in mind. From Peggy Lee to the Spice Girls and so on.

I feel like they apply as "Girl Songs".

Not how I personally interpreted the question, but that's a fair point.

Even if that's the case though, I don't see why anyone would have to keep it a secret. To quote a favourite 'girl song' of mine..."Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?"

Being insecure isn't teenager exclusive, I guess.

I think OP is just asking the age-old question of "what is you guilty pleasure pop-song". Just very poorly worded. I'm not gonna hold that against 'em.

Are you new to the whole β€œhuman” thing? We gender absolutely everything.
