Do Aspies see how fake Lady Gaga is?

Post Reply New Topic

She is not a role-model to emulate I would like to see that slu*ty persona equate to greatness and prominence in our society outside of certain artistic circles and creative industries because it doesn't do anything but alienate people. Fact of the matter it makes you undignified and even though Lady Gaga is in the correct career field if she was to be this indiscreet, the general consensus doesn't really respect her.

They consider her a rehash of Madonna who like I said before is herself a rehash of underground theater from the 1960's along of the showmanship of Glam Rockers only taking it to a much more explicit level. Gaga doesn't do much to expand on it. Honestly she is popular because most brash youth look at her superficially thinking she represents something of merit when a thorough background check will showcase that she was a spoiled heiress who got lucky by building up a persona in the burlesque scene in New York attempting things that Queen, David Bowie, and even Madonna had already accomplished. We have seen through Twilight, Family Guy, and this among things that epitomize the argument that the most popular things are indeed overrated.

Honestly I'm surprised aspies give her respect because I considered and still do that we are more perceptive about certain things. Including someone who obviously doesn't epitomize anything laudable. I thought this society would have more common sense not to appreciate fetish loving, meat wearing, shallow, conceited pop star.

I sincerely doubt that anyone who is a pure-madonna imitation would be an Aspie, usually Aspies take the initiative with their sense of ingenuity to create new things, she hasn't done anything. Her eccentric characteristics are not daring to be different, Madonna was just as daring. Sure we should be different/unique that would be beneficial if society has unique ideas there can be more ideas that would be bound to move society forward.

She is not moving society forward there were in-roads to get away from this superficial glam scene during the nineties, shes just resurrecting what was popularized in the eighties by Madonna and the flamboyant, moody themes of that era. Seeing how many adolescents are romanticizing with the eighties her popularity might be derived from the fact that she is reminiscent of that era. By the way people with Aspergers are unique but pop-music isn't so I see this as a contradiction.

i have to admit most of her popular songs are pretty silly with not much lyrical weight/context/ meaning for me to truly appreciate. however, i do believe that she is an artist, a performer who will go down one way or another as a legend from these years. her latest song has a pretty strong message and of course has only attracted more discussion about her and her "ulterior" motives which i find that most people are just spinning their wheels on the same s**t repeatedly. so personally im on the fence about her. on one hand, she will definitely have a loyal fan base for the rest of her years, and on the other hand, others will never care or want to care to hear anything about gaga ever again. opinions are just like assholes, everyone has one. its all good or its all gaga.

Her music isn't my sytle but why on earth would someone wear a dress made of meat

She just doesn't make sense to me.

Why is youtube embedding broken now?

Edit: Fixed, thanks.

Hipsters say "that's funny" because hipster humor is the kind you silently appreciate with a chuckle.

I haven't read this whole topic, I've only perused it, but I'd like to say this:
Different genres of music have different purposes. Dance is for dancing, punk is for moshing, experimental is to appreciate as art/get stoned to. Pop music is designed to sing and dance along to and have fun with. It's not supposed to be profound. People don't realize that artists' images are simply marketing schemes, or they do realize it and hate the artist for it. It's probably fun to dress crazy, and there's not much money left in music, so they need to market it any way they can. Why not just accept pop for what it is? I really enjoy the music produced by Dr. Luke. Katy Perry, Ke$ha, and new Britney Spears for example. People say "Ke$ha is a dirty whore with no talent!" Shut up foo! She's just trying to make a living, and if she were partying that hard, you'd hear about it. If you look at interviews and early demos on Youtube, Ke$ha actually has a good singing voice and good taste in music.

She's also the only big female pop star who's built like a tank.

Lady GaGa's image is designed to sell, and can you blame her? I'd dress up in (more comfortable) costume and do weird stuff for attention if I were a pop star.

God this is exactly why I don't listen to the youth all they do is canonize the most bizarre things just because there different. It's pretty obvious that different doesn't mean better. Though if society is shallow enough to believe this I guess I truly am on the wrong planet.

To be honest this is all subjective no matter how much both aesthetic sides want to wail about there opinion ultimately she will probably wind up like Madonna. Most of her fan base grew up acquired jobs and just see her as a form of nostalgia. GaGa doesn't have to grow up she's affluent emough though she probably won't sell much at age fifty like Madonna.

I'm confused - is she trying to be someone? People keep saying Madonna and personally I have no idea where they're coming from, maybe I'm the only one seeing that she's flexing a different dynamic?

Funny thing is I can't get into her music, can't get into her politics, but I have a hard time not giving her props in other ways.
