Pop's long been self-referential - what is it about Gaga in particular that make people pick up on it?

The Gaga similarities to Madonna are only true to an extent. A good parallel is Sonic Youth's alleged similarities with the Velvet Underground, but they don't seem to get scrutinised as much, for some odd reason.

I think everyone had the human nature + like a prayer + secret? video elements dejavu with the original video. By the way, she's on TV right now and she just said "artistic vision" and "dream come true".

I've never had that malibu ginger beer pineapple juice. Sounds very tropical.

Of course there is more. The classic "sit on my crooked dick". A real lesson in wtf.

I know a lot of you are going to piss and moan about how some things are popular and you never got laid until you were 30 and you're bitter about how pop music pissed on you once when you were, like, thinking really deep shit about how Sonic Youth ironically write the shittest lyrics of any band I can currently think of. Just leave it out, please.


how dare you sir! she was born that way, she is like a total savior man.

I'd say it is relativley consistent with with everything else she does.

The album cover with stickers is awesome, however.

floatingslowly 05.18.2011 11:09 PM

I am by no means a fan of his music, but this cover is NOT on par with the rest of the high-quality [illuminati] imagery often used.

pod person palanquin? right the fuck fucking on.
motorcycleface? get the fuck out RIGHT NOW.

This kind of music is primarily aimed at people who don't care about packaging, so what bother getting upset if it doesn't look good to you? You should expect that sort of indifference.

Can't someone just make some poor choices in a carreer?

SonicBebs 05.19.2011 02:30 AM

Gaga is utterly fashionista. Most of her early breaks were Milan catwalks. She's entirely stitched into the fashion world now. Nearly everyone cares about the packaging of the music they buy, whether it's VU-chic or '[we want to look like] we don't care about fashion'. It's a big deal. Gaga has, to use loathsome terms, probably the strongest visual brand of any pop star doing the rounds at the moment, which is again why it's so surprising.

The music, meanwhile, is primarily aimed at the sort of people who like good pop music - ie, people like me.

I think what a lot of you are missing is that this is the first thread in as long as I can remember where floatingslowly has done more than one srs:
