aaronyoji 2,054 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 wtf. again with their vendetta against gaga lately. people really need a reminder of how much impact gaga has really had on pop culture since the genesis of her career. beyonce only defined the 2010's because she was already popular and beloved since the late 90's. what a cop out. to me, and this may sound bias, but gaga really is the only defining pop enigma of the 2010's, the moments she created, the trends she started, the breathe of fresh air that she was. she's really the only reason why music videos now get these over drawn treatments 3x longer than the actual song. :cough:katy:cough: shes really the only reason why these basic artists wear blocks of cheese on their heads, or distorting face masks, or wear wigs and change their tour outfits every 5 songs. now you have people interviewing katy perry for the superbowl on what special outrageous wardrobe she'll pull out on stage, no one was asking her that in the beginning of her basic career, no one even brought up ridiculous wardrobe or stage design, or the sub text to someone's vma performance, or whether or not its art, gaga has basically trained the media to wonder about these things now in a contemporary culture of bull****. gaga is THE only potential chance this generation has at being able to produce a LEGEND. i really dont see anyone else, maybe beyonce, because shes talented, that we can hold on to as icons. this list maybe correct if it was "the majority of artists who have defined mediocrity in the 2010's" but not defining quality. kendrick lamar didnt even get popular til 2012, thats a bit late isnt it? and even then it took him a while to get the amount of airplay he gets now.

Omegahedron 189 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 That's a pretty narrow list. Who writes these things?!? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmm 979 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Honestly Adele didn't define anything and I'm a fan of her. She completely dominated an entire year of that half-decade in a way that none of the others have Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinladen 1,527 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 What did Beyoncé define tho? Her career looks a lot like those pretty woman from the nineties. And with her latest era she tried to be Rihanna a lot. If anything, Rihanna deserves to be high on this list. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robinladen 1,527 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Honestly Adele didn't define anything and I'm a fan of her. A lot of people ditched the crazy outfits/wig trend that Gaga started and wanted to be more normal and mature like Adele these last years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arturo 40,746 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Katy shouldn't be there at all tbh. The definition of having lots of hits but no impact. Drake has (along with Kanye) hugely shaped the direction of urban music over the last 5 years and even influenced pop music (Beyoncé's album for example) To say Katy shouldn't be there at all seems more like a statement made out of spite than one made out of logic. She is one of the best selling artists of this decade. You can't measure impact. It doesn't have an operational definition and because of that it remains as only an argument pop stans use against artists when they can't drag their album, single, or tour sales.

Nah I'm not spiteful at all lol, I don't partake in pop stan wars. It's just a simple observation that she's never shifted the culture or started any trends, she just follows what's hot and delivers safe hits. Even Billboard couldn't talk about anything except her #1 hits, and they gave her by far the shortest paragraph. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I agree that Katy does belong on this list, as she is one of the highest-selling acts of the decade, I do think that impact can be measured. It's the influence that certain aspects of one's career have on other artists or the general population. Madonna's impact comes through her making females in the music industry much more s-xual, Britney's teen-pop style was replicated by a lot of her peers, and Gaga influenced her peers to dress crazier, make higher-quality music videos, name their fanbases, and make their sounds more electronic in the early 2010s.

They basically say she was only really relevant at the start of those five years from 2010 to 2015. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
