I think you guys are giving this song way more flak than it deserves.
Dynamite doesn't aim to be the next anthem of the oppressed youth, nor is it supposed to be some sort of deep revelatory exploratin of the human psyche. It doesn't even aim to be groundbreaking, or original, or any of those other buzzwords that some of you seem to love oh-so-much.
What Dynamite sets out to be (and indeed, succeeds in being) is an unapologetically catchy and danceable summer party song (look at when it was released as a single- May). And in my opinion, it pulls that role off with aplomb.
