# Talk:Pink Pony Club

Why does the lead of this article state that the protagonist in the song is dancing at a "gay strip club"?  The story behind the writing of the song is well done further down the article and clearly states that it's based on the desire to be a clothed go-go dancer at the Abbey.  They Abbey is a gay bar, not a strip club.  While I can understand a listener thinking it relates to stripping because of the apology to the mother, the story here is clear.  It's just being a go-go dancer at a lighthearted venue that is certainly a nightclub but very, very far from an adult/strip venue. 70.187.141.56 (talk) 16:12, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

I would like to make the argument that this song has precisely zero disco characteristics.
A few critics using the term 'disco' in their review does not make a song disco.
Rate Your Music is crowd-sourced and does not have 'disco' listed as ANY of the five genres on its page. 
Discogs simply lists it as pop.
Again, the song has ZERO disco characteristics. Fine if you want to mention the word 'disco' from a review in the article body, but listing disco as a primary genre is objectively incorrect. 5.64.233.171 (talk) 20:45, 13 February 2025 (UTC)

Please read WP:GENREWARRIOR, three reliable sources calling it a disco song is more than enough to include the genre. Rate Your Music and Discogs are not reliable sources as per WP:NOTRSMUSIC. Medxvo (talk) 21:02, 13 February 2025 (UTC)
Welp that's the first and last time I try to edit wikipedia. Just so you know, it's not a disco song. 5.64.233.171 (talk) 21:47, 13 February 2025 (UTC)
It's actually laughable that genres are apparently decided by "because BBC and Pitchfork said so!" rather than by any attempt to qualitatively describe the song. 5.64.233.171 (talk) 21:49, 13 February 2025 (UTC)

Rick Astley just released an acoustic cover of this song. 2804:D4B:790C:C500:5457:E8BE:36A8:1702 (talk) 06:05, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

How do we know, or how can it be proven, that the song's initial commercial failure in 2020 was "due to the COVID-19 pandemic"? As far as I see it, its release, in April 2020, at the same time as other songs that were commercial successes and yet they were released at the same time in the same pandemic so they should all have been commercial failures too? I can't see more than a level-playing field in which every song around in April 2020 has the very same pandemic affecting its sales etc., if indeed that is so, whether negatively or positively, and therefore all should be affected. This wouldn't explain how any song was a commercial failure relative to any other song that was also failure or in relation to songs that were a commercial success - if the pandemic affected sales etc. and made this song a commercial failure in 2020 why didn't it affect other but successful songs released in April 2020 and make them commercial failures too?
I therefore can't see it is due to the COVID-19 pandemic as that should have made every song a failure but, clearly that was not so, as some songs still came out on top and at Top 5 hits - if the pandemic was affecting every songs' sales etc. so that songs sold/were downloaded etc. a lot less - I'd suggest more people might be downloading more music in April 2020 due to being at home so music should not have been a failure in terms of downloading for people listening at their home - all songs would sell less if the pandemic was affecting this so how would it make any song a commercial failure in relation to any other as the Top 40/Top 100 list would still be there, even if all songs sold less? There would still be a commercial success despite the pandemic at the time of 2020 therefore in chart terms - how can the Chappell Roan song failure at that time be blamed on this? All music at that time had the same pandemic to contend with as far as I see so should neither make anything a success or a failure.
I see no evidence to prove causation that this was due to the pandemic. The claim in the article that this was due to the COVID-19 pandemic is therefore, as far as I see, unsubstantiated. It is unproven, I feel it should be deleted as it is not shown to be factually correct.
