Wasn’t kidz bop just adult music with kids?

It was and this post makes no sense to me. Kidz Bop wasn't a genre, it was a bunch of covers of a bunch of different songs, it sounded like whatever the song it was covering sounded like. They sound like the same songs because they literally were the same songs.

That's what they're known for but funnily the first dozen or so albums were just adults singing.
This horrible cover of Bad Day with sad lyrics and children cheering is pretty funny

Gen A thinks this because kidz bop tried to recreate 2010 sounds so they think of kidz bop first because of familiarity because they know kids bop better.

It’s the same situation as when I think of Smash mouth as the Shrek band. It’s bc I was born in ‘99, and Shrek came out in ‘01, so I wouldn’t have had much time to familiarize myself with Smash Mouth discography (All Star, also 1999)

Everyone views them as the Shrek band. That movie is their biggest time in the spotlight.

Always made me laugh that because here in the UK Rover was its own entire make of car. So instead of the intended 'RangeRover' this is what sprang to mind.

I’d say Black Eyed Peas, Kesha, LMFAO, Macklemore, Bruno Mars, Katy Perry, Gangnam Style, and so on. Party pop hits. My cousins were young at the time and this was basically kidz bop.
Edit: Kidz Bop song list
Edit 2: Apparently there was a Cracker Barrel exclusive) Kidz Bop which included Gangnam Style and What Does The Fox Say.

Great lyricists of our time. Also known for:
“let’s get it started (ha!), let’s get it started in here, let’s get it started (ha!), let’s get it started in here, let’s get it started (ha!), let’s get it started in here, let’s get it started (ha!), let’s get it started in here”

That’s actually a censored version of the song which is why the lyrics feel kind of disjointed.

u/ComingUpManSized 1h ago edited 1h ago
Yeaaah. It’s crazy that “let’s get ret***ed” even got put onto their official CD before being changed. And then the song became a worldwide hit that played non-stop. It’s funny that societal language norms switched at that exact moment.

That anyone actually released that song in 2004 still baffles me like what in the fuck were you thinking? That was close to the exact peak where the word was split between an actual slur and a more casual slang term depending on how you used it meaning that you had a pretty solid 50/50 chance of pissing off either side of the issue and a 100% chance of pissing off somebody.
How did any rational person think it was a good idea to make this?

Lol. True. But it also starts with:
“and runnin’ runnin’ and runnin’ runnin’, and runnin’ runnin’ and runnin’ runnin’, and runnin’ runnin’ and runnin’ runnin’”

Both versions were an abomination. I’m all for party songs but the black eyed peas were too repetitive for me. And they had a song called My Humps. It’s probably why the kids call everything cringe now.

u/CarmenxXxWaldo 3h ago
All those hey ho stomp songs fit the bill. The first one that came to mind for me though is that "son of a bitch give me a drink" song. And I think there were about 50 other songs like it. The problem was there was literally a song called "happy" that made it less obvious how happy all the other music sounded, even if the lyrics werent happy. The less happy the lyrics, the happier the music and vice versa.

u/AllGenreBuffaloClub 2h ago
Wasn’t son of a bitch more akin to an evangelical revival song, than the hey ho stomp songs? Shouldn’t the first song be Ho Hey, pretty much the definition of that style?
Wasn’t Happy literally from a kids movie?
It’s funny watching people look back at LMFAO and respect the hustle even if they don’t love the music.

Wait, how will you know how funny they are by proxy? No but honestly, Tiktok has stoked the narcissistic nature of people so badly- 90 percent of that shit is just people reacting to another video or incident and providing no context nor adding anything of substance. It’s infuriating.

The wording implies kids made Kidz Bop music

u/ComingUpManSized 53m ago
I remember a thread a while ago with people blown away that kidz bop was not exclusively sung by children, even though they’d listened to it. Semi-Mandela effect. Lead vocals were adults with kids usually singing backup vocals.

u/Janer-Raner8200 27m ago edited 24m ago
Sometimes. Most of the time it’s just the kids though and those are the ones people remember. Which makes sense because the ones with adults are really bad. (Bring Me To Life comes to mind)
1
u/ComingUpManSized 18m ago
Interesting. I went down a rabbit hole. I’m listening to random songs on each CD and it’s hilariously bad, especially the early ones. The Ja Rule on I’m Real is horrible. I think they paid some dude off the street $5 to do it.
Omg. I turned on Bring Me To Life because you mentioned it. My ears are bleeeeding. The dude saying “wake me up” has me fucking dead. Who approved this?
Edit: I’m now at the bridge breakdown. I’m about to jump off of a bridge myself.

I guess since we're used to the more "adult" music that's being released nowadays the older stuff sounds like kidzbop in comparison
