Pain of fame1 229 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I agree tbh, the only people who might be embarrassed to listen to her are insecure straight guys who think if they listen to her people might think they're gay. Maybe but this didn't hapen with DWUW, tha song was special, all the really cool straight boys would sing it/ buy it at least for the R kelly part. DWUW could have been another BR or PF, even billboard said it. Hope gaga writes something similar for her next album. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pachinko 10,376 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Gaga is too gay and that doesn't appeal to everyone. End of story. Get over it. Gaga knows this. She isn't here to please everyone and make major $ anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wet Fire 7,405 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 May I eleborate? :) "It's not cool to like music with substance" "It's not cool to like a person who is immensely talented and versatile" "It's not cool to like a true musician and a pure vocal genius" "It's noy cool to like a singer who doesn't go as a product anymore" "It's not cool to like a singer who has own vision of artistry" "It's not cool to like the most down-to-earth and humble person on earth" I'd rather stay 'uncool' forever then! :party: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

XoXoJoanneGaga 629 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Anyone worried about the cool factor are not music fans, they are pop culture fans. If you're a Gaga fan then you probably are a pop culture fan. That's always been Gaga's thing, her obsession with pop culture and her place in it, the constant references, the media, etc. If Gaga loses her place in pop culture and people stop talking about her then she becomes a very different artist; one that can still be great but who's inherently much less exciting and ambitious. Personally I'll be here for her either way, but it would definitely be disappointing and a waste of potential if she became a niche artist this early in her career.

kaojen 1,571 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Who cares who is cool or not? What is this, middle school? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emvee 8,350 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I whole-heartedly agree with the OP and ive been saying this for a while. People here are just too goddamn stubborn and stuck on her image. Honestly, Gaga has always been the weird girl, it's just that her music was good enough to people that they could look past it. I know a lot of people who followed Gaga up until the end of the BTW era, but didnt really acknowledge ARTPOP. Why? They have nothing against Gaga. It's the music. It was lukewarm. A lot of fans didn't like it, so obviously a lot of casual listeners weren't gonna like it either. To be honest, ARTPOP is a clumsy album, which is fine. In some ways it was supposed to be. It is a very hodge podge album because it documents a lot of her feelings. Stream of consiousness is a very risky thing when it comes to commercialism though. Not everyone is gonna relate to what youve been going through. That's why Katy and Rihanna are so popular - they have teams of writers who decide what audiences will like. And Taylor - well Taylor's just a basic white girl. She's obviously gonna have a wide audience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay.P 2,336 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 It kind of isn't though... Many people are embarrassed to listen to her after BTW or are closet fans since they'd be labeled as gay. Let's face it, you wouldn't find a Gaga song on someone's phone today (maybe only Applause) In 2009-2010 everybody had Poker Face, Just Dance, Bad Romance... It WAS cool to listen to her. Do you hear that? It's poison. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GagaisHotAF 419 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Actually a lot of people like her and think she is cool. Probably on Grindr Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropico 4,145 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 You know, in my country, people don't even connect Gaga with gay much. Mostly they connect her with evil. Whatever. On topic: I agree. Fans think just because of the CRITICS (they might as well be called stans because it's obviousd they're bias towards certain people) were negative about ARTPOP and because it wasn't as successful as BTW. People can be easily swayed tbh. :shurg: ♢ Social Justice Enthusiast ♢ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Mess...I'm not talking about us. I'm talking about just general people and causal listeners. I know that I, along with all of you, don't care if she's seen as cool or not because we love her no matter what. I'm talking about general people because a lot of people here think that everyone outside of this fan base think she's uncool, and that's not the case. Sure there are some, but it's not a unanimous or majority thing. I think some of you are missing the point, haha. I'm not saying I or anyone else should care if she's seen as cool or uncool. I'm just saying that the majority of the general public and casual listeners don't hate her. It's mainly just indifference until she releases a song or album they really like or connect with. It's not like a Justin Bieber situation where most people do actually hate him except for his fans. You guys already know that Little Monsters are the cool kids at the party.

E24187 615 Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Her single choices from BTW and ARTPOP are what did her in. DWUW was the first right thing since 2010. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Do What U Want had been the lead single from ARTPOP...man, things would've been really ****ing different for ARTPOP. In a good way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
