I feel like the impact of ARTPOP won't hit hardest until the next artistic wave of music hits.

Obviously...people like Rihanna, Justin, Demi, Selena, Miley...EVERYONE is trying to be artsy fartsy and its sad that they're doing so because Gaga sacrificed herself during ARTPOP....and paved the way for all these basic artists to PRETEND about art...

It's sad...however, I'm happy Gaga's keeping silent about LG5 cuz even before she released ARTPOP people took the ideas of films for every song, app, 2 volumes and Gaga couldn't do that...this time it seems people are waiting for her to say something and Gaga wont allow them to take her ideas again

That is the smartest thing Gaga has ever done, tbh.  I don't want anyone to steal her ideas.

I don't care what you think about unless it is about me.

I think you're reaching. Hip-hop artists are putting artistic imagery on their albums since like Jay Z's the blueprint

Gaga is killing the basics with silence...let's see how creative they can be without her influence and ideas... :later:

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.

pure delusion. 

Rih's album cover was more J.Cole/ Kanye even Jay Z influenced than Gaga. and the unveiling of it was very Kanye aswell.

So sick of people saying "ooh that's GAGA's impact!" the second an artist does something mildly artistic. This is one of a plethora of reasons why no one likes little monsters!!!

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 would concur with what others have said with Kanye very much influencing Hip-Hop and artists like Rihanna, but I do think that Gaga helped popularise this movement where pop artists want to be connected with the art world.

Katy's This Is How We Do is the clearest example of this. Miley Cyrus rocking Venus hair, wearing crazy costumes and making 'art' to show in an art gallery may also be an example.
