Did Lady GaGa open the door for Techno Pop mainstream music?

Madonna "jumped on board"?

Shit, Madonna was doing techno pop almost a decade ago.

Lady GaGa is nothing new... She's just particularly good at creating very catchy songs that capture the public's imagination (for good or bad).

I tried finding Madonna's clip "Music" (with Ali G/Cohen) but you'd be so unsurprised the amount of hits you get when you search for "Madonna Music" on youtube. Plus I believe the clip is pulled due to record comapnies being asses.

Anyway, "Music" is techno-pop at it's pinnacle and came out roughly when Lady Gaga was still trying to learn basic math in high school.
