Sounds a little snarky on paglia's part but but I agree in principle

Lady Gaga makes Carlos Mencia look like George Carlin. Seriously, is there a pop icon who Lady Gaga has not blatantly ripped off?

As for her music videos who cares? Madonna did it long before she did and Gaga just looks like she is trying too hard to top Madonna by wearing costumes that only toe down drunk women would wear at Cosplay, a Star Trek Convention, and a comic book convention. I am waiting for Lady Gaga to be wearing the cookie monster costume with the trash can and trash can lid.

I don't mean to come off as too negative, but Lady Gaga and her legions of fans who have not listened to a music track earlier than 2005 seriously piss me off.

great article, completely agree

i really dont get what kids these days see in her, someone show them real music please...

Well she sure ain't sexy at all, that's for sure.

made me think of this:

i hate old people who think they can criticize everyone just because they can fart dust and were around before electricity.

I've never understood the need for generalizing or attacking people just because they're fans of what's perceived to be an inferior / bad product. Seriously, just accept the fact that other people have different tastes.

No, not all Lady Gaga fans are clueless about "real music," just as, say, not all Wii fans are clueless about "real games." Leave it be.

Analysis could've been less bitter.

It seems more like a tirade than a deeper breaking down of what Gaga represents. Gotta love a 'demolishing' though...

And I don't consider myself part of Generation Gaga...she's popular, but she isn't THAT influential yet.

I understand what you are saying but people who have been around before electricity like me

have also seen it come and go while young people have just seen it come.  Not really a good Idea to blow off the perspective off older people who have history to contrast artists with

Not a fan of Gaga, but what an awful article full of overblown expressions. "communicate mutely via a constant stream of atomised, telegraphic text messages", "a laminated piece of ersatz rococo furniture", wtf. It's fine to include a few like those, but the thing is made up of them. Sounds more pretentious that Gaga^2 and certainly preachy and bitter as hell. Who's this lady to decide what's sexy and what isn't anyway.
