Spartacus 4,485 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Being a pop-culture icon is tough work. The rare Brando type aside, most of them don’t ever want to give up the spotlight they’ve earned, and that tends to involve keeping up with what the kids think is cool these days. And since that grows logarithmically more difficult with every passing year, it often ends in tragedy. Madonna’s been struggling to keep up recently, working with producers who seem to McConaughey-ishly stay the same age as she keeps getting older, dropping embarrassingly clumsy d--g references to try and appeal to a dance music crowd she shouldn’t even have to court, and basically squandering several decades’ worth of legendary coolness for the sake of a failing personal brand. Her most egregious attempts to maintain her relevancy are on her social media accounts. There, her frequent missteps are usually just the sort of thing we’ve come to expect from any middle-aged mother of four with an Instagram account, like posting flagrantly bad Photoshop jobs and meme images that are visibly worn out from having taken a lap around the Internet already, or showing off familiarity with recently-past-its-prime slang. http://music-mix.ew.com/2015/01/02/madonna-social-media-dangerous-levels/ -𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐅𝐀𝐌𝐄 𝐄𝐍𝐈𝐆𝐌𝐀™ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prometheus 1,494 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Another Madonna thread. I agree I think her subject matter is getting old (d--gs, partying, s-x, sin, etc.) but she is a popstar and pop music doesn't normally stray. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
