27monster27 9,462 Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 ...Change Drastically? In 2013, ARTPOP received a lot of unwarranted (and some unforgivable ) hate. People bashed ARTPOP by falsely accusing Lady Gaga of being an attention seeker. They thought that all of the artistic references were really just for attention. Oddly enough, after the hate for ARTPOP began to die down, it seems as if music changed dramatically. Thoughts? he/him/his Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blastertoyo 22,728 Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 I think a lot of people got tired of having to unpack everything and "omg everything has to have a meaning and backstory" they just wanted some basic stuff. and that's what they got. please enlighten me to death Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bio 23,538 Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 I love ARTPOP but the music is kind of basic for the time it was released, sorry. The only interesting and more experimental songs in there were Aura and Dope, MAYBE Venus for its campiness, but that's it. Royals was on top back then and it was fresher than anything on ARTPOP.

Suspiria 10,683 Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Ugh can people please stop this whole "pOp MuSIc iS sO BaSIc NoW!!! ReAl mUSic DiED in 2013!!!!" People are just so blinded by their nostalgia and personal connection to music from the early 2010s. Production has arguably gotten much better, but the songwriting has stayed much the same. People are still writing about love and partying and whatever, the same way Kesha, Rihanna, Taio Cruz and all the rest were back in 2010. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but we didn't have a lot of the basic rap songs back then. (Not that all of them now are, but definitely a larger number.) he/him/his Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
holy scheisse 20,257 Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Imo ARTPOP aged well. But when it was released she was late on the EDM train, I suppose. Granted, she also contributed to paving the way for EDM with the synth driven dance music of TF/M. And agreed with above--ppl wanted Adele, Lorde, stripped back pop at the time to cleanse the pallet.

EddieZ 68 Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 ARTPOP is a masterpiece PERIOD. Making ARTPOP a flop was a global crime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryansamonster 1,396 Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 The amount of bad songs increased?? Music has been around since before either of us walked this Earth and has always been subjective. I actually think music has become more diverse. Janelle Monae... pansexual and proud. Lizzo... big boned and proud. I don’t know, I just think it’s become more of a platform for some artists to spread their message. But also, it’s always been like that! Could it be that you’re listening to the “basic songs” and therefore it all sounds the same? I love ARTPOP. I don’t think it was basic at all. Like I can’t think of another modern singer with an album cover like that. It garnered a lot of unwarranted hate, yes, but if it did anything, I think it pushed artists/Gaga to try new sounds. TF/M + BTW + AP = all electronic albums at their core. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chromichiga 184 Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 I think it’s so funny that ARTPOP is still discussed so heavily to this day. I love it.  I’ve lurked the site since 2011, got an account on that iconic July 2013 day when you we got the heavenly promo pic.  Anyway ive truly been on the site since ARTPOP and I can’t believe it’s already been 6  years. This was and literally still is my favorite album. Everything about ARTPOP is amazing because we will never get such a mess time and music like that again and it was truly the test of the real ones in the fandom.  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink Tape 410 Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 taste and trend always change.. maybe we're living in the rap hiphop trend era. its okay hold on tight.. pop will conquer again (let's pray it's soon) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maleficent 6 Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 ARTPOP was overproduced and dated sounding. compared to Lordes fresh sleek sound of the time, ARTPOP—minus DWUW, Aura, Dope and Applause—sounded clunky. Furthermore the message she tried to push with it was pretentious at best and obnoxious at worst. Why would she ever think the GP would relate to “a reverse-warholian experience”. The only songs that could’ve been top 10 hits were the ones i mentioned previously (and are in cases of Dope and Applause) stumbled bc of poor management. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
