While Gaga is not the first person to combine artistic works/art, with the world of music and pop culture, she was definitely the biggest artist to bring up this movement in recent times with ARTPOP. Now artist like Drake, Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, ect. are also trying to make artistic statements with albums covers, museum gallerias, and an overall marriage of ART and POP/pop culture. So do you think the new wave of "ARTPOP" is a result of Gaga's ARTPOP? Or is it just a coincidence?

I thought this was gonna be another thread about the music of ARTPOP influencing and I was gonna be like tumblr_nvvx75nQxI1qdmb8eo2_400.gif

 

But yeah I think maybe she had influence in the whole artistic imagery idea.

I think Drake and Rihanna got it from Kanye. Miley on the other hand I'm not too sure. :ghostney:

Finally feeling free for the night, I got no worries. Finally got a claim on my life, baby, c'est la vie. ☄️

It did have a big impact, I know hater-troll hybrids™ will call me delusional but idc. You can try to deny it, but it's true.

Good point. Not entirely sure. I want to say "no" just because I don't think big artists even think about ARTPOP. Artists like Kanye have been merging art and music since before Gaga entered the scene, so Rihanna could just be taking a page from his book.

The manner in which these artists are doing it is very ARTPOP though. Kanye has been doing this before Gaga, but what artists are doing now is more Gaga-like.

Let's not forget about My beautiful dark twisted fantasy, that album mixed rap and art really well, and it was praised by both, the critics and the general public. When i see what Rihanna and Drake are doing, i can't help but to think about Kanye West.
Miley Cyrus gives me Hippie vibes not artsy vibes.
 
So no,  i don't think they're following Gaga's steps.

I think it's possible. Gaga was the first popstar in a long time to do something "out there" and "pretentious" with her album campaign: Talking intellectually about the marriage of art and pop, getting a massive sculpture made of her by a famous artist and debuting it at a museum, teaming up with a legendary performance artist and making bizarre videos with her, having a performance artist vomit on her live while shouting "f**k you, pop music!", releasing her work through an app, citing her new album as some sort of "movement." Nothing like this has been done since maybe Madonna's Erotica in 1992. This sounds like the sort of thing Bjork would do, and she's definitely not pop. Popstars just weren't taking risks like this until then. But suddenly, post-ARTPOP, we get...

Miley teaming up with a psycadelic band, releasing an album for free, dressing in borderlne explicit outfits and making a video where she covers herself in glitter and milk. And then Rihanna starts talking about making an artistic album that'll stand the test of time and unveils the very deep, abstract work at a museum (where her fans were blindfolded before and made to dip their fingers in ink to read poems in braille). Even Madonna has really gone to town with this whole "rebel heart" thing and caused controversy by putting the black wires around pictures of famous icons. Where has all this come from? Yes, Miley was doing similar stuff at the same time that Gaga launched ARTPOP, but she was just s-xual in the most basic way and her music was straightforward and hardly deep. With her new album, she's being s-xual in a more weird, abstract way and experimenting with some very unusual music, the very opposite to everything she's done up until now. It's almost like she, and others, have hoped to be successful with this model where Gaga failed. Maybe they think because they're more mainstream and successful that they'll prosper with it.
