Really? Gosh.

It's the overall impression that's cr@p. It sounds kinda amateur. The vocals are dire in quality, even autotune-effected to the bollox (which I know is/was popular, which is fine effects go in and out fo fashion). She can't really sing as such, and, more importantly they haven't gone to any much effort to disguise it, or to make her sound good. (the alternative is that she can in fact sing but was told not to!) I assume she is extremely good looking! Mayube that's the style and I am just an old fogey :-)

It's not just pop though, rock lyrics (mine included) can be pretty banal too (not to mention sometimes downright awful!).

Amateur, trashy, decadent - very in. 'Can't' sing, can't dance, look awful. You'll go a long way'. Etc etc.
