It's like with Robyn. With her terribly empowering attitude and severe Swedish pop style (she played Letterman with a band wearing mascot-bear heads), the odds are long on her being blasted by our wasted youth at the keg party in the wheat field. However, anti-guy lyrics like "you're a selfish narcissistic psycho freaking bootlicking nazi creep" ("Handle Me") and her swooping blonde locks are impossible to ignore. So we like her. And we go and see her show where our DJ friends play alongside her and have her picture taken with her where she is flashing a peace sign. We make ghetto slideshows of party pics featuring "With Every Heartbeat" and we YouTube cellphone vids of live acoustic performances of "Show Me Love." We go gaga at her wacky performances on TV via something called redlasso.com. Even Ms. Perez Hilton herself has endorsed the Scandanavian robo-babe. And who notices? Just us.
