Squeeshy Keety 9,908 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 In Applause, she says I've overheard your theory "nostalgia's for geeks" I guess sir, if you say so, some of us just like to read I always thought she was just rubbing her cultured *ss in haters' faces, but does she actually mean "reading" as in playful mockery (Not sure if drag queens started it, but they do it on Drag Race a lot) due to her homo audience? I had this thought listening to the song just now, and I needed this answered before I went to bed They / Them 🏳️🌈 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hELXIG 42,926 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Yeah I always thought it had double meaning!

Bette Davis 12,742 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I find that part of the Applause lyrics are cheesier than "Love it when you call me legs. In the morning buy me eggs." Cold as ice cream, but still as sweet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexanderLevi2 5,849 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 To me "nostalgia's for geeks" means that our society is so focused on the new and better thing but she's saying "I guess if you say so but I enjoy studying the past." I'm not quite sure but that's what makes it interesting! Currently listening to Joanne Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
