Fair enough! I think the only one I'd class as a proper pop song is Dance the Pain Away (it's the only one that came to mind), but there are definitely a few there that are poppy!

Ironic considering the last time there was wide discussion of what does and doesn't constitute a pop entry there were people trying to claim Haute & Freddy were indie x

It was a different song tbf (but very similar in style I'd say so point still applies x)

I would call it indie-pop - that Tamara Flores song I would see as Alt-Dance and not pop.
