Oh, you got me. She adds on 2 minute long creation myth narratives to the beginning of her groundbreaking videos. Right.

Gaga got her start in large part thanks to the gay community, specifically the gay club scene. They were some of the first to start really playing her music back in the day, and she used to play tiny shows in gay clubs, pride festivals, etc. She's always been very vocal and appreciative of the support she got from the community. And where some artists might have swept that under the rug or stopped supporting the LGBT community as fiercely when they hit the mainstream, Gaga hasn't done that. She's been incredibly vocal about LGBT rights and issues (National Equality March, DADT, other poo poo I'm sure I'm forgetting) and more importantly, she's bringing the weight of her massive fan base to those issues too. Gaga's not stupid, I'm sure she realizes that by promoting stuff like that, and the Japan relief bracelet, that she turns a whole bunch of people (many of whom are very young) onto things they might not otherwise get involved in, or care about, or donate to or whatever. I think this can only be a good thing but you can continue going "hurr stupid bitch don't do poo poo" if you want i guess v  v

So she's taken marketing cues from 80's Madonna? It's as if all of these weren't calculated steps, as if being 'pro-gay' in pop music is anything special. She had a built-in audience, why would you abandon those that made you money? Name me 1 loving pop act that has been openly anti-gay and has survived the onslaught of hate and criticism, and ultimately forced to walk the statement back. Goons will intellectualize anything and everything, thinking they're too smart too fall for marketing. No, I'd never fall for a carefully created pop image! You see it's because she's super important culturally, she's breaking boundaries maaaang! e- I just read the OP, that's a joke right? loving celebrity culture, goddamn.

So, she admits her music is poo poo and we're supposed to take her as a visual artist? Alright. So, I guess what's your point? NiN had some pretty cool videos with some fun themes. That doesn't mean that anyone who spends hours writing about said videos isn't a loving loony goon. Why can't people just enjoy the music, why do you need to intellectualize everything to some sort of high-art form as to legitimize your own tastes in art. It's absurd. Were people intellectualizing the Beatles this much in their hayday? I suspect not, so what's the change?

The fact that you are an ignorant sperg with no artistic vocabulary does not mean that everyone else is, too. Believe it or not, some pop artists do put considerable thought behind their art, and the analysis of said art is a worthwhile pursuit. And it doesn't matter one good god drat whether or not you smugly consider such art beneath your rarefied taste. FMERCURY fucked around with this message at 03:12 on Mar 23, 2011 |

This is probably best left for another thread though, it's more to do with peoples celebrity interest, the TMZ-followers of the world as it were. Have fun at the show, I'm sure it will be great

You guys were completely right about being near the catwalk. I felt that Lady Gaga totally neglected our side of the stage. We ended up being right up against the fence on her right side of the stage but she rarely visited that side. When we got there, there were already a few rows around the catwalk and the others wanted to be closer to the stage so that's what we did. Now I totally regret it. The show seemed to go by so quickly. I don't know. I wasn't completely blown away by her performance. I think she was a bit tired. The stages however were amazing.

I like how the account hosting Ur So Gay in that article has been closed down/deleted. God that song was like being punched in the face and I'm glad that I was denied the opportunity to remind myself of how utterly dire it was.

Reinforcing of gender norms, sexual stereotypes and a general "oh you gays are SO serious" attitude, for the most part. It's there in this interview but it's hard to sum her up via any one interview in particular.

Crows Turn Off posted:Yes? And nothing she said is really anti-gay, just really, really dumb. She very clearly doesn't hate gay people. She has not literally said "kill gay people" or "I hate gay people" no but the point of this discussion is that she perpetuates negative stereotypes about gay people and shows no nuance, understanding of, or senstivity towards sexuality in general. Her music, that underneath the surface level reinforces the idea that being heterosexual is more normal, is a detriment to the gay community, particularly 'Ur So Gay'.
