Leo-J. I'm not here to talk about Lady Gaga. Whatever. But this whole paragraph you just typed? I have never heard somebody sound so confident of their knowledge of music while actually being so massively ignorant. I'm not trying to bash you, but you literally have no idea what you're talking about. I'm an English/Music major. I've taken tons of music history, theory, etc classes. I read several music magaxines a month. Go to pitchfork and a few other websites every day. Listen to music reaching back decades and decades. And I still don't think I know that much compared to some people. I try to be humble and admit that there are people who know far, far more than me, simply because they've been around longer and seen more. This is why people get annoyed with your gushing love for Gaga. Your proclaim her to be all the things that she really isn't, and it's mainly because you're viewing her through the extremely limited scope of a teenaged boy. Grow up, gain some perspective, learn more music history, then we'll see how innovative and groundbreaking you think Lady Gaga is. She's a lot of things. A lot of good things. But innovative and groundbreaking are certainly not among them. Nor did she bring dance/"techno" mainstream (not techno by the way, but whatever). I mean, hell. Kanye had 808 and Heartbreaks, a pure-electro album, out before Gaga. And that's just one of tons of examples. She's a pop star. Pop stars are by definition cyclical: there's nothing about her that hasn't been done before, and better. She's a regurgitated amalgam of other genres and past trends. |
Oh please don't even fucking go with me right there, I am not basing it off my own opinion my friend I am basing it off trends. As you base your opnion off the MALE STRATUM and automatically label her as a piece of crap because she is a pop artist. I admit she isn't COMPLETELY DIFFERENT considering the fact she takes her inspirations from GRACE JONES, AND DAVID BOWIE, but to say she isn't doing anything and just recycling everything from the past is pure ignorance.
NOT ONE ARTIST IN HISTORY has delivered the SHOCK and DRAMTIC REPRESENTATION OF ARTISTIC DISPLAY IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY, hell I'd say she is in it to pass MICHAEL JACKSON AND MADONNA. PERIOD. - QUOTED FROM MTV
@mrstickball
She WAS REJECTED BY POP you guys just HATE her. She said it in an interview, if she was a male doing heavy metal, all of you would be nuts and call her a rockstar. There is a reason every pop artist today is IMITATING HER.
