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).

Beat me to it. 

Even Britney Spears has been doing the techno pop thing for a few years now.  And it wasnt because of Lady Gaga.
