problems with this thread:- the insane generalization that Lady Gaga gets a free pass from anyone.- the use of the word hipster- homophobia

i really like the idea of 'Man GoGo' as a handle.
more like trannyphobia

I don't think GaGa is ugly at all.. and her body is great.

My own problem with Lady Gaga (and I'm assuming it's more or less ILM's problem, but I could be wrong) is that her music/image seems to be a lot less interesting than that of artists in the same vein and who haven't even come close to achieving the same commercial success.

I don't think she's ugly. Some of her photos look amazing. A lot of them don't. But the ones that don't aren't so much cases of "bad photo day" and more "I really don't like the visual you're consicously aiming for there."

yupyup, she is hella pretty and sometimes even dressed really interestingly. i haven't gone back and checked, but i feel like here was some love for lg on the rolling pop thread. why is barely anyone sticking up for her here? the tunes are really mostly not bad, and i like a few alot.

I just checked out the video for You Belong by Hercules and Love Affair and it is a shame that they did not have the kind of commercial success that Lady Gaga is having. Obviously they are being marketed differently and are aiming at different audiences but Hercules embodies much of the same content as is just some much more interesting and well executed.
I'd like to see something as blatantly commercial as LG but with deeper references. It would be cool to see those codes cross over into the mainstream.

it does figure she has a burlesque past, everyone knows burlesque is where fat ugly girls pretend they are sexy.

well I was the main GaGa defender/lover in that thread and I don't feel like getting into this argument now
― Monday Nite Tranny Party (The Brainwasher), Thursday, 11 June 2009 23:49 (fourteen years ago) link
and Hercules and Love Affair's music has like no pop appeal like at all, I don't even get why you'd bring them up in here?
they do full actual songs you can dance to and have a strong image. that qualifies as pop to me.
― Hard House SugBanton (blueski), Thursday, 11 June 2009 23:51 (fourteen years ago) link
i mean they're obv intentionally straddling that middle ground between pop/charts and club credibility, of which there's been a great lineage imo (not so much in the US).

dont see how these artists are similar at all
& im not really a h&la stan or anything either ... shes a lot closer to ed banger MAYBE bcuz of the kinda trash aesthetic going on, but H&LA are trying so much harder to be tasteful ...
― autogucci cru (deej), Friday, 12 June 2009 04:11 (fourteen years ago) link
She's closer to (current) Kylie Minogue than either I think. I could totally imagine GaGa coming out with "Speakerphone" or "Red Blooded Woman".
Kylie's visual aesthetic is very similar actually, minus the elaborate artworld justifications.

i don't even know what to make of this thread. but i'll offer up this:
i work with a hipster girl. she's like a cartoon character of what you'd think a hipster would be like & today she was talking about a guy she's into when she uttered the following sentence, "He doesn't listen to radio stuff like Britney & Lady Gaga, so that's a plus."

i think to prove or disprove this thread's premise we need to find out how A-Trak felt when he found out Kanye is going to tour with LG

If you're over 17 and care about "street cred" -- especially to the point of using it as criteria for whether or not you'll allow to like certain things -- that is just sad.

Particularly if that "thing" is a person, i agree. This girl is 25 & has a child, btw. Her #1 reason for liking the guy is that he likes Ghostland Observatory.

It is really messed up that she would like this band if she is a mother of a child. They look like total chesters.
