The sociology of fame

This is a part of the arcticle about Gaga : the rapid rise to complete cultural dominance followed by the inevitable backlash followed by the perceived implosion of her entire brand. We know the story because we’ve read it before, and not just about Gaga. It’s a story as old as fame itself, and it’s a story she’s explicitly told many times over through her own art, most obviously in the “Paparazzi” video, taken from her very first album. (“We love her again!” A prophecy being fulfilled as I type this.) There’s a part of me that wonders if the last three years have been part of an elaborate performance art project meant to demonstrate — in real life, in real time, with real people — that she’d called it from the start.

 

 Verry often i wondered the same thing, her whole career has been this study of fame, the album, the beahviour, the persona the music videos- alway this climax story of rapid rise, failure, and rerise and reborn. she sadi it many time she studied the sociology of fame, and more the often shared this story or prophecy of her failing and the decay of an icon. Your thoughts on this?

I think she knew this was going to happen but didn't know when. Her hip breaking was not planned and she started to get backlash towards the end of 2012. Idk, it's an interesting concept but I don't think she would put herself or music through that.

Currently listening to Joanne

I believe there was a mix of (1) Gaga's intention to illustrate the "bottom" of her career and (2) the inevitable occurances that helped the downfall outside of her control.

I sort of figured this all out on my own back in 2010, when she began her hair as yellow at the beginning, and it slowly turned grey towards the summer time (BESIDES DURING TMB), completely grey at the 2010 VMA's, I don't know, seemed like that was when I started recognizing her obsession with rebirth and recreating her image. That's just something that sparked my thinking.

Anyways, I agree completely. She's quite the mystery.

don't be a drag

Completely agreed.

It's almost scary when you realize she could have planned this because of how accurate her career has been to her own predictions
