FfFfFfFF 54,014 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 According to its Wikipedia page John Wayne is pop rock song that features elements from various genre including country, disco, funk, and house and it was previously labeled as dance-rock and bubblegum pop so it's clear that it's a mixture of genres. So I do think new wave describes John Wayne very well: it's a heavy electronic song (as new wave was one of the last stages of the transition rock-pop and it was characterized by experimentation with electronic elements), it's an upbeat song and it has a prominent guitar played by Josh Homme. Spoiler New Wave is characterized by agitated and busy guitar melodies alongside jerky rhythm guitars, an heavy reliance on synthesizers, "stop-and-go" composition structures, and a typical use of intricated percussive sections, sometimes with the help of drum machines. Previous Gaga songs cited as new wave influenced are Dance In The Dark, Bad Romance and Born this Way's tracks. Aso style-wise John Wayne is pretty similar with this song.

It was described by Nicholas Mojica from International Business Times as an "ode to masturbation", with influences of reggae and ska, hearkening back to Gaga's own "Alejandro", as well as the music of Gwen Stefani.

When talking about tropical music in relation to today's pop it's referring to Tropical House which is an electronic genre.

Ziggy 10,651 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I wouldn't say New Wave is a strong genre to associate with John Wayne. Pop rock definitely, but not new wave. You can hear it in TFM, but not really on Joanne. DiC is interesting. Listening to the track it sounds trop-house inspired, but listening to the instrumental alone it sounds almost Middle-Eastern inspired. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
