ReidOne 12,427 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Keep in mind, this is coming from a 2008 original Gaga fan... I believe the reason so many of the "popsters" and "chartsters" struggle with Gaga's evolution is due to one simple reason: Gaga represents the thing they loved most in their early life. So, her continued success in the eyes of the GP somehow "substantiates" their own existence, by proving her lasting relevance (and likewise, their own lasting relevance). When they see even the first signs of the GP not connecting, they feel rejected themselves. So they turn that pain into aggression towards, of all people, Lady Gaga herself. As if she is somehow letting us down. When in reality, we were all lucky in the first place that Lady Gaga's artistry spoke to our hearts. It's not her "job" to continue cranking out #1 pop hits to somehow validate your own existence as a fan. . . . Continuing with the "job" metaphor, why do you think Gaga is wearing a t-shirt uniform with her name on it in the opening scenes of PI? She literally looks like a waitress from a desert diner outside LA who just got off work and is raging out all her aggression about how much she hates her job. Artists don't see their work as a job. But in the world of pop, so many fans feel so entitled to dictate what the art should be, so much that the artist can begin to feel like they are simply performing a "job." Gaga is acting out against all this right now. Realizing the "applause" that she lived for was simply a perfect illusion. Simply fairweather fans who once loved her work (not her) obsessed with seeing their own identities validated through her. And living all this out via social media. She's an artist, more importantly a musician, and it's about exploring that spiritual energy that she has been gifted with that we all should be paying attention to, as fans. I know its hard, but take what Gaga means to your own identity out of the equation in your assessment of her work. Accept her work for what it is, but don't let yourself attach it to your own self worth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

migamiga 12,101 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Why can't people just not like the new direction cause they don't like it? It's all a personal preference. Fans aren't obligated to like everything Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaperIz 7,346 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Some people don't realize it's Gaga's career and only want what they want. It's hard to see and artist change but you have to let them. They should try being a Miley fan, she's gone through every style of anything over the years and I love it. I enjoy when artists broaden their listener's horizons Human generated art Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gohan 16,412 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I don't know and I really am sorry for saying this, but it is actually kind of stupid. Because an artist is supposed to change, improve, create something new, mature and grow with the years, so I don't know why some think she should/would need to make Poker Faces and Bad Romances all the time. Nobody does that, unless you are a chart addicted ''artist''. It feels annoying and artistically disgusting Let the girl create the hell she wants, nobody is obligating you to like it. If you are already done with her, then move on and keep your 2008 Gaga memories with you as you start to stan for a hit maker machine tryna go ask Alice, tryna catch that rabbit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
