On the topic of Katy Perry, I remember her singing with punk bands and on P.O.D's 'Goodbye For Now' before she went solo so her charting on Alt isn't too much of a stretch.

I beat you to it, but it is a stretch because it's a bona fide pop song. More poppier than Lorde, more poppier than Echosmith. Just because she sang with pop punk bands before doesn't mean her pop solo work has to chart. That's like saying Rob Thomas' solo work should chart just because Matchbox 20 had hits, that's ridiculous.

The thing with "I Kissed a Girl" is that it was released when Perry was just debuting and had yet to establish herself towards any particular format, and as a rock-tinged pop song it worked both ways. The label released "Hot n Cold" as a follow-up on alternative and pop but once it became clear pop was the more receptive of the two and her true home they just stuck towards that route altogether (and we all know how that turned out...)

I wouldn't call it rock tinged, but there was a Rock remix for it that got played by the rock stations.

I can see why it was played but it shouldn't have been. Lorde, Echosmith, and Tove Lo sound more like something I'd hear on Alt than Katy Perry, Ariana Grande, whatever else is played on Pop.

I'm not defending her as an Alt artist... I said she collaborated with pop punk bands. That's it

That is SO true with some mild exceptions of songs that charted on pop first and then came to Alt(such as Rude and Best Day of my Life cue the people saying they were sent to Alt first)

Mess. Garbage didn't always release hard rock songs either. "Androgyny", "Milk", "Queer", and "Cherry Lips" say hi.

(Though I've only heard "Desire" so this is a legitimate question)

(Though I've only heard "Desire" so this is a legitimate question) because she's edgier angrier vocals, darker tone, good instrumental section made up of guitars and drumz yah

I used to really like this song, but I can't handle it coming back from the dead and sticking around for three more months.
