I certainly get a vibe of "junior high school creep playing tough" from Ke$ha. It squares with the "13 year old's sense of what being a party girl is" commentary (perhaps the missing link between legit party girl and girlboymusic's vision of Ke$ha as something more like a street urchin). Maybe the difference between Ke$ha and Gaga is that Ke$ha would have terrorized Gaga on the playground, only for Gaga to get her revenge off the playground. Ke$ha still treats LA as a playground, and the game she's playing isn't very good -- her details aren't very imaginative, and she's been playing the same game for so long that it's more of a ritual than something one does for fun. Which would explain why there is a lot of disaffection in, e.g., her "blah blah blah." But there's also still a playground around it, which makes what she does in it secondary to the idea of where she's doing it. (OK, metaphor is starting to wheeze and buckle under its own weight here so I'll let it go.)
