Katy Perry is on her way to becoming the world's newest Pop Star. However, during Perry's recent interview on DJ Rossstar's Punk Rock Show, more of the listeners referred to her as "emo" than anything else.

“I was that girl in high school that kind of just popped around into all the different scenes, so I don’t really have one specific scene,” Perry explained of her upbringing in Santa Barbara, California. Perry spent many of her younger years at a venue called The Living Room, and it was there that she saw her first concert — which featured swing band Big Bad Voo Doo Daddy. Katy Perry used to listen to ska!? Did she do the traditional "skank" dance to the music as well? "I skanked up a storm. Of course I did," Perry exclaimed with glee.

Perry will release her debut album, One of the Boys, on June 17. Believe it or not, it's taken her four years to get to this point. "I didn’t just pop on the scene in some manufactured way,” Perry said confidently.

Perry's song "UR So Gay," has turned a lot of heads with its outrageous subject matter. Is this song directed towards one specific person? "It’s any guy that wears eyeliner and smudges it. They’re subject to this song. It’s just taking the piss out of this scene we call emo. There’s a little emo inside all of us," declares Perry.

The interview took a turn with a listener confronted Perry about reinforcing stereotypes with "UR So Gay," which in return can make an entire scene look bad. Here are some sample lyrics from "Ur So Gay":

"I’m so mean cause I cannot get you outta your head
I’m so angry cause you’d rather MySpace instead
I can’t believe I fell in love with someone that wears more makeup than…"

Perry elaborated on the lyrics on the radio show last week by explaining, "I wrote the song because my ex-boyfriend was wearing my jeans and I wanted 'em f---ing back. It’s a freedom of expression. There’s a reason why every song is on the record."

Her big plans for the summer include performing on Warped Tour. She's focusing on taking vitamins and working out to prepare for the grueling summer ahead!

Perry was kind enough to treat us to an acoustic performance of her brand-new song, "Mannequin," during the live broadcast. Can't wait for One of the Boys to hit stores? You can check out Perry as the final girlfriend of Travis McCoy in the Gym Class Heroes music video for "Cupid's Chokehold."
