"title": "Will Nostalgia Make Us Love Katy Perry in Ten Years? ",
"headTitle": "KQED Pop | KQED Arts",
"content": "\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cstrong>By Eric B. Jacobson\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">Yes, okay, Katy Perry’s songs are catchy. And yes, she’s rather talented and some of her songs actually go beyond bubblegum pop. But these days, when I hear her music on the radio, I can’t help but think that, in 10 years, we’re going to look back on her songs like we do the cheesy songs of the ‘80s or the bad rap from the ‘90s: stuff we ate up at the time, but now realize was candy when really we prefer vegetables. Then again, maybe we’ll remember her songs fondly, with a sense of nostalgia for a different time, when we were younger and life was mortgage free.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">For most music lovers, songs are often tied to memories, either specific moments or broader periods in our lives. Maybe we were listening to a song when something notable happened, maybe we turned to music to celebrate something, or to forget something. Because of this association between music and memories, our feelings about songs can change over time. In fact, our view of music over time is often a reflection of how we feel about our pasts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">Sometimes, our view of music changes because our tastes change, and we learn to appreciate things that previously went unnoticed. While I once laughed as a pubescent teen at Marvin Gaye's name, during college I realized he is a musical genius. Similarly, a friend of mine is only now discovering Radiohead, despite the fact that they first rose to popularity while she was still in high school. Another friend is just getting into Lionel Richie, decades after his prime, even going so far as to see him in concert. And an older friend of mine is starting to appreciate Santana and the Grateful Dead because of her growing understanding of song composition, despite not liking those bands when they were first popular.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">Other times, we develop a fondness for music because it reminds us of good times in our pasts. I grew up listening to the soft rock of the ‘80s in my parents' car. At the time, soft rock was old, mushy stuff I didn’t care for. These days, I’m nostalgic for it, seeking it out and singing along (sometimes in public, so be warned). This is partly because I realize how good those lyrical ballads really are, especially in light of a lot of the flat, rhythm-heavy music that’s popular today. But it’s also partly because those songs remind me of the easier, more carefree days of my youth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">In talking with other people about their musical tastes, it seems that, if someone’s opinion of a song or band has changed, it’s usually because of nostalgia. A friend never really cared for rock growing up, but her older brothers did, and now she likes AC/DC’s “You Shook Me All Night Long” because it reminds her of them. Another friend has found herself drawn to contemporary bands like Haim and Marina & The Diamonds because they have a very ‘90s sound that makes her nostalgic for her youth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">It seems the only time people really stop liking a song is because it became associated with a bad relationship or breakup or some other painful event.

And yes, she’s rather talented and some of her songs actually go beyond bubblegum pop. But these days, when I hear her music on the radio, I can’t help but think that, in 10 years, we’re going to look back on her songs like we do the cheesy songs of the ‘80s or the bad rap from the ‘90s: stuff we ate up at the time, but now realize was candy when really we prefer vegetables. Then again, maybe we’ll remember her songs fondly, with a sense of nostalgia for a different time, when we were younger and life was mortgage free.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">For most music lovers, songs are often tied to memories, either specific moments or broader periods in our lives. Maybe we were listening to a song when something notable happened, maybe we turned to music to celebrate something, or to forget something. Because of this association between music and memories, our feelings about songs can change over time. In fact, our view of music over time is often a reflection of how we feel about our pasts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">Sometimes, our view of music changes because our tastes change, and we learn to appreciate things that previously went unnoticed. While I once laughed as a pubescent teen at Marvin Gaye's name, during college I realized he is a musical genius. Similarly, a friend of mine is only now discovering Radiohead, despite the fact that they first rose to popularity while she was still in high school. Another friend is just getting into Lionel Richie, decades after his prime, even going so far as to see him in concert. And an older friend of mine is starting to appreciate Santana and the Grateful Dead because of her growing understanding of song composition, despite not liking those bands when they were first popular.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">Other times, we develop a fondness for music because it reminds us of good times in our pasts. I grew up listening to the soft rock of the ‘80s in my parents' car. At the time, soft rock was old, mushy stuff I didn’t care for. These days, I’m nostalgic for it, seeking it out and singing along (sometimes in public, so be warned). This is partly because I realize how good those lyrical ballads really are, especially in light of a lot of the flat, rhythm-heavy music that’s popular today. But it’s also partly because those songs remind me of the easier, more carefree days of my youth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Though Bey politely turned down a picture with Johnstone because she was in top-secret-at-the-time costume, it’s an experience Johnstone remembers fondly.

Listening to her latest album, \u003cem>I Never Learn\u003c/em>, feels like falling through a tear in the time/space continuum and ending up smack dab in the middle of your last breakup, wailing on the bathroom floor. We've all been there and it's therapeutic to shout out the lyrics of love lost with a bunch of strangers, followed by dancing it all off to her earlier, spunkier work. Fun fact: Lykke Li split her youth between Sweden, a mountaintop in Portugal, Morocco, India, and Nepal. \u003ca href=\"http://up-ship.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/themoreyouknow.gif\">The more you know\u003c/a>!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cimg class=\"alignleft wp-image-13282\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/08/trust.jpg\" alt=\"trust\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2014/08/trust.jpg 640w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2014/08/trust-400x400.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2014/08/trust-32x32.jpg 32w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2014/08/trust-64x64.jpg 64w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2014/08/trust-96x96.jpg 96w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2014/08/trust-128x128.jpg 128w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2014/08/trust-75x75.jpg 75w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\">Trust\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nSeptember 28, 2014\u003cbr>\nMezzanine\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Downsizing from a duo to a solo project could derail the sound or lead to just calling it quits.

Spirituals like \"\u003ca href=\"http://youtu.be/2NDwW8onaoA\">Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child\u003c/a>\" and \"\u003ca href=\"http://youtu.be/SP5EfwBWgg0\">Go Down, Moses\u003c/a>\" gave voice to the oppression of 19th century slave life. Billie Holiday's \"\u003ca href=\"http://youtu.be/h4ZyuULy9zs\">Strange Fruit\u003c/a>\" pushed back against lynching in the 1930s. And the civil rights movement of the 1960s brought out songs about terrible injustice (Bob Dylan's \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xpo27l_bob-dylan-the-lonesome-death-of-hattie-carroll_music\">The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll\u003c/a>\") and the hope that it would end (\"\u003ca href=\"http://youtu.be/2b24Ewk934g\">We Shall Overcome\u003c/a>\" and Sam Cooke's \"\u003ca href=\"http://youtu.be/gbO2_077ixs\">A Change Is Gonna Come\u003c/a>\").\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The events in Ferguson over the past few weeks have reminded us of the ugly reality of our country: we have made progress, but we still have a long way to go and plenty left to sing about.
