PaperIz 7,344 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Some music is deep and some music is shallow, and I personally like it either way depending on mood. I'd hate for music to be deep all the time and same if it were shallow all the time. There's room for everything tbh Human generated art Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaronyoji 2,054 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Sometimes I feel people forget Pop music means Popular music but the thing is, ever since the early 2000s, with the explosion of pple like britney spears and nysnc and what have you, pop music became an actual parody of itself, it may have at first meant popular music, but the genres changed. now, pop music is its own genre and doesnt change genres, but just incorporates things into the overall pop idea. basically what i mean is, pop is pop because its pop, its this ironic cycle.

Katsuki Bakugo 9,788 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Pop music is already like this. There is music beyond top 40 and "pop" indie tumblr Do I really even need to say this? Apparently you do every couple of months! I wish this fan base would research the internet a bit more tbh...

ShockPop 7,747 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I posted an almost identical thread a few months ago with evanescence song "snow white queen" as an example.I think gaga would greatly benefit from a cowriter setup like lennon/McCartney. It lead to paparazzi being stunning...she could seek out writers like Amy Lee, or people from that genre who are typically sensational writers.

Kayla 7,595 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Just a heads up: The opinions/content of this thread are similar to that expressed in these threads:http://gagadaily.com/topic/145332-the-problem-with-gaga-lyrics/http://gagadaily.com/topic/143076-gaga-changing-interests so we will be merging them. I'll edit the OP to be the OP of this current thread, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jjang 2,262 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 If she indeed goes rock, i wonder which direction will she take ; political like Green Day, mysterious and dark like Evanescence or loud & grungy like Nirvana? so many possibilities. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whispering 18,865 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Gaga has a ton of writing topics and I wish people recognized this more. We notice the love, s-x, and fame songs, but she has so much more. I went through all of her songs and organized them into different levels of relatability and included the meaning of each song to show that A)Gaga expands her writing topics all the time and, B)She conveys relatable AND un-relatable topics in a variety of ways. No matter how you like your Gaga lyrics served, she sets the table with something for everyone. Of course, people might organize the songs differently; these are just my opinions about the relatability of the music. Some of these certainly can overlap. Like Kaboom is only relatable to people who have one night stands, but the lyrics themselves are quite simple so I put it in the first category (same with a lot of other songs about love/relationships/s-x/etc.). Some of them I could have put into multiple categories depending on how I looked at it, and there are some that I personally find really relatable but aren’t necessarily relatable on a mass scale (like I personally can really relate to ARTPOP, the song) but this is what I came up with: (and I worked on it for a couple hours so don’t be too finicky about how they’re organized ) Easily Relatable/Simple Lyrics: Hidden Content Relatable Concept/Abstract Lyrics: Hidden Content Somewhat Relatable Concepts/Difficult Lyrics: Hidden Content Relatable to Specific Cultures/Types of People: Hidden Content Not Easily Relatable/Specific to Gaga: Hidden Content So, whether done in a relatable way or not, Gaga has sung about: Relationships (being happily in love, starting new relationships, being lied to, being cheated on, loving someone who loves someone else, missing someone, on and off relationships, wanting someone you can’t have, leaving past lovers, etc.) Sex (experimenting with other women, one night stands, forbidden s-x, rape, masturbation, oral s-x, practicing safe s-x, rough s-x, bondage, submissive/dominant roles, etc.) Partying (having fun, clubbing, dancing, forgetting your troubles) Fame (the positive and negative sides of fame, critiquing how we view fame, manipulating the media, the music industry, etc.) Perseverance (getting through hard times, being there for others, etc.) Feminism (fighting for your rights, being strong as a woman, gender roles, etc.) Self -Love (being yourself, accepting who you are, accepting the light and dark sides of you, etc.) Depression/Addiction (suicide, alcoholism, d--gs, loneliness, insecurity, etc.) Image (fashion, using your image to convey a meaning, using your image to transform into what you want to be or who you are, etc.) Death Travel Immigration LGBT Rights and more! But...I've been at this for hours and I'm done. Quoting this, now that the threads are merged. This post deserved to be brought to attention! In fact, it needs its own thread, so we can discuss the content properly! Thanks Kayla, for all the time you put into this comment! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
