surely firework is not worse than "e.t." or "bon appetit."

or "this is how we do"

I mean the thing about "Firework" is its like a safe, straight version of an LGBT anthem - nothing explicitly about queer struggles and oppression, just a horribly shrill rote performance of pride signifiers, and I absolutely do not need my hand held and my voice taken by the same popstar who once sang "you're so gay and you don't even like boys." Katy Perry has a huge amount of great singles as kitchen person lists, but she is the least interesting or likeable thing about any of them.
