PunkTheFunk 124,406 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 "Little Monsters" — a fanbase fashioned in Gaga's holy image to spread bravery and kindness, or a group of lawless and bitter gays holding on to a past long gone? Hi, I'm PunkTheFunk, and it's time to Stir the Pot. *cue theme music* No but seriously. Do you think it's finally time to retire the "Little Monsters" moniker? Recall that: 1. Gaga hates us. 2. We constantly violate the tenets of Little Monsterism. We're physically incapable of spreading online kindness. Recall that we effectively ended Sam Smith's career after the Great Oscar Meltdown of 2016 and sent death threats to David Bowie's son last night. To say that these actions go against what Gaga had in mind when she formed us from the dust of the ground and breathed into our nostrils the breath of pop music would be an understatement. 3. The "Lady Gaga" that created the Little Monsters is long gone anyway, so how can a cult survive without its leader? Stefani G. from New York City felt disenfranchised and lost, so she assumed the alter ego of "Lady Gaga" (which was really just an exaggerated version of her creative spirit) to make it in the music industry. Once Gaga achieved fame, she noticed a lot of her fans felt disenfranchised and lost as well, and took us in like we were orphaned ducklings caught in the rain. She fed, clothed, and raised us through the power of creative & artistic expression. She lived to please us (see Applause). Gaga needed us as much as we needed her. Once we let her down and started being ungrateful, she kicked us to the curb and made jazz music. Stefani G realized she was now confident enough to shed the "Gaga" alter ego and live her own damn life. Who needs fans when you have two dogs, a man, a horse, a mansion, and a field of zucchinis? 4. The fanbase itself has fundamentally changed. A Pew Research Poll conducted in 2015 found that 64% of Gaga's fans were over the age of 75 following the Cheek To Cheek/Tribute eras. By calling ourselves "Little Monsters" we are turning off potential album buyers who don't want to be associated with us. And remember, these are upper-middle class Baby Boomers who are crucial to Gaga's success. Why? Because: A) they are wealthier than the average cash-strapped teenager, and are therefore able to buy more copies of her albums, and B) they have children and grandchildren, and could potentially buy a copy of LG5 for each of their many family members. 5. I find the name cringeworthy tbh I'm ready for your stones Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Surrealist 27,470 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I really don't care what she calls fans as long as she still interacts the same way with them. LG5: Farm Edition will call us Little Barnsters, tho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViGaga 777 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 little monsters will never go away. just because gaga isint releasing new music and touring and stuff doesnt mean this fanbase is dead. there is still some amazing fans in this fanbase. and remember gaga even has this tattooed on her own body, as well as i do and many other monsters too. if you dont like using the term, then dont use it... but it means alot to me and others and gaga too.

LUO YI 6,089 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I totally agree with you i would never call myself little monster again. This is not the same woman, this is not 2010, most of the LMs are bitter when it comes to other celebrities/singers, and that's not good. And God, I grew up. Gonna buy C3C!!

Whispering 18,865 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I never used the title or called myself that anyways. If some fans still like the title and want to call themselves that, it doesn't bother me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
