Everyone listens to music—whether they choose a song themselves, catch it in a store, or get it stuck in their head from endless social media reels. Music shapes moods, influences thoughts, and subtly molds values on some level for all of us. So what dominated playlists in 2025? We dug into three massive hits that exploded last year and uncovered some troubling underlying agendas slipping into the mainstream.
1
Pink Pony Club by Chappell Roan: Though released back in 2020, this track didn’t truly blow up until 2025, becoming inescapable—from little girls’ horse-riding reels in pink tutus to businesses pushing pink products, and blasting in public spaces everywhere. On the surface, it’s a fun escape fantasy, but it’s a clear push of LGBTQ+ ideology: a young woman ditches her conservative small-town family for freedom in a West Hollywood gay club where “boys and girls can all be queens every single day,” complete with rebellion against a disapproving mother. Roan herself has tied it to profound spiritual claims, describing her first gay bar experience as feeling “when I walked into the gay bar it was like what the Holy Spirit was supposed to feel like.” It reframes queer nightlife and self-expression as a sacred, divine alternative to traditional faith and family—quietly normalizing the rejection of those values while everyone just hears a catchy beat.
2
Anxiety by Doechii: This isn’t brand-new either—it draws heavily from her 2019 YouTube track sampling Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used to Know,” which later got remixed and sampled again. But her official 2025 release amps up the “woke” elements, blending personal mental health struggles with overt references to Black oppression by police (”Negro run from popo,” blue and red lights symbolizing sirens and racial tensions). The anxiety theme ties perfectly into Gen Z’s epidemic of depression and unease—ever wonder what’s fueling those skyrocketing numbers? Songs like this normalize constant fear, surveillance, and victimhood as everyday realities, especially for younger listeners already bombarded by similar narratives.
3
Abracadabra by Lady Gaga: Gaga’s no stranger to controversy, long championing woke causes like radical gender ideology and boundary-pushing theatrics. In 2025, she delivered this dark, chaotic track with demonic imagery: angel-vs-demon dance battles, nightmarish vibes, and heavy use of Christian crosses (including inverted ones) in the video. Her longtime fashion designer, Matieres Fécales (Fecal Matter)—an outright provocateur with satanic undertones—creates the outrageous, ritualistic outfits she performs in, the same designer who works with Chappell Roan. And while it’s marketed as adult fare, TikTok proves otherwise: countless videos show young kids mesmerized, mimicking her moves, expressions, and “rituals” beat for beat.
These songs didn’t just top charts—they seeped into everyday life, making agendas of rebellion against family/faith, normalized anxiety/victimhood, and occult-tinged spectacle feel like “normal” fun. So what about 2026? We refuse to surrender the stage to the woke music industry.
