Interludicrous 15 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) omg my post wasn't even a big deal got damn I flat out don't like the title. I thought it was lame and tacky and still do. It was replies trying to make me see the 'genius' in it that I responded negatively too. At first I even said how it won't effect the music despite my distaste for the title. And i still don't see what's the big deal with saying fukc. It was just my opinion and the comments werent nasty, they were trying to make me like the title when I don't, that's why it frustrated me. Fuq da govament Well I mean it's just my thoughts on how some people will judge the album. I'm still gonna listen. And nah, I can't blame you, I just don't like it. Its cool you're trying to change people into thinking positively about it but I just don't like it and I don't wanna continue this because initially Ididnt expect this. Maybe my opinion on it will change in the future, for now I'm done commenting on it. And I don't wanna bother people looking for Gagas new tweet and seeing this. Ok let's just file this under "miscommunications" and forget about it :toofloppy: Edit: I actually thought this was the album discussion thread :toofloppy: Edited August 5, 2012 by Interludicrous Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbeTheBabe 0 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Agreed :) lool :toofloppy: I don't like the title either. Then again, if I were to have heard "The Fame" title before the album came out I don't know what I would've thought of something so blatant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbeTheBabe 0 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 If anyone needs to chill here I think it's you. At least try to be reasonable when having discussions, and open up a little to what others have to say. Don't write something off at first glance. And try to have decent arguments without using the word 'fukc' every time. But anyway, I think ARTPOP isn't pretentious for several reasons - Most people have at least heard about Pop Art, so they'll know more or less what she's going on about. - "Artistic" doesn't imply whether something is good or bad. She's an artist, so people should expect her work to be artistic. It would be pretentious if someone said it without having the talent/background to back it up. - People expect very little from pop music nowadays, so if anything using the word 'art' in combination with 'pop' will be intruiging, just like back when the Pop Art movement was starting out And quite genuinly, if someone judges the album purely by the title, they're probably not worth it anyway (talking about the general public here). I personally need to know more about the album and the songs on it to judge if it's a good title. People saying that they dont like the sound of it... really? That's just nitpicking. An album title is not that big of a deal. It's the music and the concepts behind it that matter, and they'll probably only reinforce the title. But so far, I like it. It's a clever reference, and the way Gaga combines fine art and the more commercial element of Pop has always interested me, and it's probably the one thing that made me a fan in the first place. And IMO it's catchy. Claiming to invent your own genre of pop music is pretentious. Let alone titling your album as such lol But I mean whatever, I love Gaga and she's always displayed some pretension. It's not that big of an issue.

It felt lonely trying to defend my opinion But yeah agreed. It could be worse anyways. And yeah it'll probably make sense within the context of the album. Its just already such a broad and weird title I feel like she should've delved into how the albums gonna work out to make it seem better. She should've held off till like September to tweet it or whatever. doseofamnesia. tumblr. com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MelbHawker 6,583 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 lol wow I'm guessing you love the title. IMO its lame. Idc the inspiration behind it, it could be genius and have a lot of effort behind it, that doesn't change the fact it sounds stupid to me. I know I'm not the only one who feels this way. It sounds pretentious to me cause she named her fukcing album ARTPOP. To the average person it's gonna sound like she's arrogantly calling her music artistic. Not everyone's gonna get it and there's no way around it with a title like that. It's my opinion anyways. Sucks no matter what to me. And um yeah? Chill the fukc out dude, I was critiscing the title, of course I'm gonna see what the album has to offer. It's just a lame title to me. I'm just excited and happy she's doing what she wants. How bad would she feel seeing her fans already hating on the title? Seriously. She's always been about 'performance art' and has stressed this frequently in interviews. It's not arrogant; it's bringing art to the forefront of music again. Those who think shes arrogant will be pressed they didn't do it first. It can suck all you want it to; get used to it.

If you're still that intent on proving why it's so genius and I'm wrong for my opinion, pm me cause I don't wanna keep off topic. doseofamnesia. tumblr. com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANiCURE1295 8,673 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Titles just need to spark curiosity. 'Teenage Dream' doesn't do that, neither does something like 'Loud.' But 'Thriller' just SEEMS different, or something like 'MDNA' even. 'ARTPOP,' while looking weird, will get someone to think "what's that about?" I think that was partly why some fans disapproved of 'BTW,' it was rather straight forward and self-explanatory. That's the marketing genius behind some titles. Plus, it makes for iconic lines if they stick. In the ARTPOP discussion thread I used teenage dream and loud as examples too. Great minds think alike :worship: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of hate and flop accusations it's gotten... I've gone off topic as it is. Apologies if I came on too strong. Hopefully the announcement in Sept. includes a release date. :excited2: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
