Do Aspies see how fake Lady Gaga is?

Post Reply New Topic

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 a**holes, 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.

Well I like good music like Mozart's Requiem and I also like to study music and write my own so listening to a song like Poker Face which uses brain-meltingly simple notation and the same generic chords as most other terrible pop songs is like reading a Peter and Jane book. As well as this I don't appreciate promiscuousness and aesthetics used not only to sell music which should be appreciated on a non-physical level but actually being more important than the music itself.
