The juxtapositional idea of being sad beneath the lights of a joy-filled dancefloor has become a popular trope in recent years, employed by everyone from Ariana Grande to Mitski to Mark Ronson, who made a (very good) album of "sad bangers'' called Late Night Feelings. This recent wave of a timeless concept can most likely be traced back to Robyn's 2010 hit "Dancing On My Own" and runs the risk of becoming, if not a cliche, a crutch as the odd one out scenario becomes something approaching default.
