Was this tweet iconic or conceit?

"She’s seeking out drama like a missile, haughtily calling out “the critics” before they’ve even really had a chance to evaluate her new material, in a psychotically defensive way that Beyoncé would never. The character she has assumed for ARTPOP is shameless, insecure, and all too eager to play the victim, especially considering she was Forbes‘s highest-paid celebrity under 30 this year. In a way, that makes the whole conceit even more interesting. Gaga made her name being radically unchill in her approach to her aesthetic and public presentation; she’s continuing that strategy in the maintenance of her superstardom."

In response to the article quote, I do think it's a little unfair to call her preemptively "psychotically defensive". That's erasing the context of the whole two years prior to this time period, where critics began to lash at her for reasons that pertained little to none at all to source artistic material. Ironic.

3 points in and ready for more

I mean she is “unchill” and she was defensive at that time, but I think we can all see now that she wasn’t playing a character as the article suggests. And ARTPOP was unfairly judged. 

So: iconic
