Skillet’s “Monster” reminds me of Coriolanus, except that singer John Cooper would like to hear his nothings monstered. The song opens with the lines, “The secret side of me/I never let you see.” Three minutes later, he still hasn’t let us see it.

When did pop music forget how to tease? Sabrina Carpenter’s “Juno” ditches subtlety for blunt-force horniness — and the result is embarrassing, not empowering.
