So don't crucify one another because you don't share the same taste in music and your taste in music might be more broad than theirs. again, what part are you not picking up that I'm putting down? Because you twisted my words. I said, in my original post, that just because a song isn't a bop doesn't mean it's not good.

Bebe 17,093 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Can I just clarify that I'm cool with 'negative opinions'? Like it's okay for you to express that you don't like a song or a performance or even an album. It would just be nice if that was balanced with some positivity. If you are a TF stan who only liked The Fame and that era, cool! Lets geek out over all the incredible music, performances, fashion and interviews! The Fame was a f*cking flawless era. It would just be cool if you didn't spend your time like "She needs another TFM after Born This Way or she is over", "ARTPOP is a flop, it's a bad album she can do better", "C2C is a snoozefest! Sorry but nobody is here for Jazz" and "PI is a bad song and I hate her new direction". At the very least it would be nice to see people balance "I'm not feeling this era sorry, Million Reasons is boring to me and I didn't like Perfect Illusion" with "I'm so excited for The Super Bowl!", "Throwback to this awesome performance!" and "Would you like Gaga to collaborate with _____ in the future?" As Gaga fans, on a Gaga forum, there is surely stuff that you love about Gaga and there is surely stuff that excites you. It would be great to hear a little more about that, rather than focusing on what you are not liking. There is a place for you to express your opinions, this isn't about censorship, it would just be nice for some users to balance their opinions out a little better and also focus on things you like about Gaga and her work. If you're in a position where you can only think about stuff you don't like about Gaga and her work, this probably isn't the place for you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speechless94 545 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I think the point of the OP is not necessarily to stop being a fan (no one can tell you to stop liking an artist), but rather that, if you're really not happy with the music, why are you wasting your own personal time complaining online about the artist and tearing down everyone else's good time. If it makes you that un happy, there are much more productive things you could be doing than continuing to spend your time on a forum for an artist you aren't all that happy with ATM.

It's not as often you see an actual attack on a song or Gaga. It was much worse during AP and yet we still didn't have all this bickering. Alright, let's bring back some of the "PI is a flop," etc. threads that were created daily Currently listening to Joanne Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless of course you want me to baby you through a simple lesson in conversational subtleties to appease your passive aggressive nature. It's okay to disagree with me. Bye though I seriously doubt you have the psychological qualifications to diagnose my interpersonal nature. The "bye though" certainly allows me to be able to discern the makings of a "last word" type. I, also, certainly, don't need your okay to disagree with you; I'd do it whenever you were wrong. Also, please find the conversational subtlety in calling someone incredulous. If you wish to come across as subtle, you should at least apply a little effort. Perhaps you need to baby yourself.

ModernEcstasy 8,998 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Excuse me? Im sorry, but since when was it not okay to dislike certain kinds of music? Each to their own. Everybody has their own personal taste. It's okay to not like some of the work that Gaga puts out. It doesn't make us less of a fan than you! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hELXIG 42,966 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I agree. If you don't like this new direction, and aren't prepared to even wait for the album to see if you enjoy it as a whole, and are just being salty and negative, then... I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iluvartpop 411 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Honestly I don't believe JOANNE is that estranged from her previous works at all... It's still so catchy and at the center of it all, it's still a really pop album Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hELXIG 42,966 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 P.S. I just don't understand tbh. I'm absolutely dedicated to Gaga, and I know that if I absolutely couldn't handle a direction she was taking artistically, I'd just move on. I've done it when I've moved on from artists before. It can be heart breaking, yes. But am I going to sit around on the fansites and complain? No. I logged out, listened to the old music, didn't comment on the new music on YouTube, didn't pay it much attention, became a casual. I just don't understand why people think their negative, complainative opinions are valuable to offer. It just ruins the atmosphere for those who actually enjoy the art and want to have a good time. Don't ruin sh.it for other people. Just... leave. I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
boneknuckleskin 776 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Wow, this thread is blowing up fast. I think this will be one of the most divisive and polarizing albums / eras for her fan base. ArtWHO? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So now these people can't express negative opinions of one song without leaving Gaga forever? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorrotek 285 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Excited for Joanne!! You know, if you hate the era, just chill and wait for the next one, hopefully things will go your way. That's what I did during the C2C era, I didn't unstan gaga, i just continued on with my life....like any normal people would do. Now, here I am today, obsessing myself with Sinner's Prayer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
