Is there anything iconic/memorable about the ARTPOP era?

[BornSimon 4,818]

The Applause single cover is iconic

Seashell girl's ass at the VMAs was memorable (it will be remembered as an iconic look for us fans)

The vomit was memorable

The Do What U Want/R.Kelly drama... not on the same level, but still memorable

Aura Demo

Swinefest

Album Cover

G.U.Y. Music Video

PARTYNAUSEOUS at artRAVE

Swine Vomit

I think there have been iconic things, but no one will remember them because nothing is really "iconic" for Gaga anymore, it's just all Gaga.

The Swine vomit...I rarely think about because it was just another thing that Gaga has done. She's done crazier things, and she has done less crazy things.

Volantis...well....will that ever actually happen?

And all the performances weren't that memorable. I feel like the Applause VMA performance was years ago but really it was just last year this time.

[The Professor 1,060]

well the applause cover is pretty iconic :)

you will find 1000000 examples imitating Gaga and I think many people recognize it

 

This. And the vomit performance was iconic too. Everything else is just for the fans

Swinefest, Elton John ARTPOP, SXSW

The release of her best album 

 

Yeah, and this

[Miel 15,009]

Anything related to the Venus imagery (particularly the Boticelli Babe look- curly broww Frankenwig, seashell bikini, garden panty), the SXSW Swine performance (vomit), and the Applause facepaint are all that come to mind.

Well, the Applause single cover and the song itself, the Swinefest, Swine Vomit, The Koons sculpture, DWUW with Xtina and Applause at the VMAs, SNL, the ArtRave catwals, the koons gazing ball, Volantis, the mess, seashell outfit, Venus.

 

Many things obviously.

I love the cover, but I think most people think of, when they saw it, David Bowie's iconic Scary Monsters and Ashes to Ashes covers and was commented on by many sites and publications, the influence of Bowie. It's what I noticed first off, but it's not a copycat but definitely was influenced by. It's one of my favorite things Gaga has done visually, and I actually hated how she dropped it so quickly after the Applause promo. I loved almost everything about the Applause promo, the cover, the look of the music video. Personally, I would have loved for her to have gone that way but even delved deeper, so avant-garde in looks, for promo of other songs on the album, instead of the seashell queen later on.

"The cover photo is the work of Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, who did Gaga’s recent nude V Magazine shoot and who helmed the “Applause†video, which was shot last week in L.A. If you think the image resembles David Bowie‘s “Ashes To Ashes†and Scary Monsters covers, we’re guessing that was intentional. Bowie is a huge inspiration for Mother Monster, and this isn’t her first time referencing his makeup: when she first emerged in the “Just Dance†era, the singer often had a lightning bolt painted on her face, which was a callback to Bowie’s Aladdin Sane cover."

DWYW was the single-most cringe-worthy performance Gaga has ever done, not like the world class performer she is. It was a mess. If she and R. Kelly had gone out there and sung their asses off, they would have blown everybody away. Instead, she went out there with that mess of a "choreography" and looked like someone who hadn't even made it yet in the business.

iTunes Fest

The day ARTPOP and the single was announced

iTunes Fest was glorious, and she showed why she's one of the biggest musical stars out there today,not just in the pop realm. It was captivating, and what a return to the stage.

[Psychedelic 1,098]

There are definitely memorable moments for fans, but nothing that's truly iconic for the general public

this!
