More Than A Muse

The Return of Recession Pop


Listen Later

This week, we’re diving into the origins of Recession Pop, the artists and songs that defined the genre, and the complicated question of whether this shiny, broke-girl aesthetic still works today. We explore what could make post-recession pop feel meaningful (mental health, real stakes, charitable impact) and when it just feels like rich people playing dress-up. Spoiler: Going to space might not be the move. Plus: our favorite recession pop anthems, what defines authentic pop in hard times, and if we can expect bangers alongside our bankruptcies the rest of this year.
