yungpancake 593 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Hello. I'm back here again on GGD, after months of not looking at too much social media for plenty reasons. The last time I was here was when Gaga came out with ROM. So yeah, I'm a veteran monster, and in all honesty this era has just left me feeling so betrayed? and confused? 😕 I've always noticed and felt that Gaga's eras always roll out coincidentally during really hard or strange times in my life. For example, I was beginning to question my sexuality (and still going through being bullied) when BTW came out. I was in my darkest depression at 13 when ARTPOP came out. Joanne came out at 2016, during the last time my grandpa was still alive (he passed away around the time The Cure was released). So, going into lockdown and through this pandemic fully knowing Chromatica was going to be released made me feel a bit of comfort to say the least. But now we're here. Listen, I love Chromatica. I think its one of her best pieces of work and I applaud her for making something that still feels so fresh. But this era has been the most confusing and saddest one. I'm not really asking for her to put out tons of music videos or do four TV performances in a week or do a virtual concert (I mean I may live, still) but the fact that she feels so distant and closed-off from us is just so heartbreaking. This could've been the perfect time for Gaga to just reconnect with us. She could've opened up a Discord server and just play Minecraft or Bayonetta and chat with us and I wouldn't even be complaining. She could post the most random stuff countless times in a week and I would still feel so in tune with her. Now she only comes up to talk about oreos and Lamborghini raffles and makeup and LG TVs and then completely disappear for weeks, or only until there is something very important happening that she has to talk about. Listen, I know this pandemic has made our lives 100x difficult, and I know Gaga could be dealing with things she doesn't want us to know, and I KNOW that Gaga's relationship with us has gone through many rough patches, but I wish Gaga would realize how her music and her art makes us still want to pull through with life. I wish she knew how much Chromatica has helped us get through this tough year. And I really wish she had the initiative to unite us all and celebrate the art that we have always found comfort in. I really wish one day Gaga could just be herself to us again. But those are just my thoughts. I hope everyone here's safe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curunir 7,510 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Betrayed? That's a little dramatic, don't you think? And no, I've never EVER felt betrayed by Gaga. Yes, it would've been nice to see more "promo" for Chromatica (which could possibly be coming soon), but the music has always been enough for me. I listen to it on a daily basis Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I'm just worried about her. I hope she is in an okay frame of mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wet Fire 6,895 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Good to see how you constructively put your views. 4 minutes ago, yungpancake said: I'm not really asking for her to put out tons of music videos or do four TV performances in a week or do a virtual concert (I mean I may live, still) but the fact that she feels so distant and closed-off from us is just so heartbreaking. Yes, it can be really alienating, hopeless and bleak at times when your idol feels distant. Hope things work out better in future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynamite 50,814 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 No, I don't feel betrayed. It's extremely boring though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wet Fire 6,895 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 P.S. I understand where such feelings are coming from, but we need to remember to humanize Gaga, let her have her space. Sometimes the ones we love need/want distance from us. If we love them enough, we would try our best to make things work out the best way for both of us.

Regina George 59,387 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I see what you mean and I love how respectful you are even tho you are clearly not satisfied. I agree. I wouldn’t say I feel betrayed but I do feel kinda sad (?) because when I started loving and following Gaga it was back during TFM era and I would’ve never guessed she’d lost that amazing passion for performance art and storytelling. I wouldn’t say I’m shocked because I started noticing this around 2014-15 and from that point it went downhill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadikaado 4,302 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Lost? That's for sure. I am used to see Gaga releasing lots of content for her albums and seeing Chromatica neglected was hard because I love every song in it. But betrayed is a little too much. I just wish she would be more honest with us why she isn't appearing so much when she could just say that in 20 seconds on her instagram. I'd be glad if she said the era is stopped or canceled. I am authistic, so don't be offended if I make a mess sometimes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I listen to it on a daily basis I dont know but the fact that she only comes online to sell things is just weird. She used to be the most committed to her work, and now you can just feel like she's trying to forget this album. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PEZ 6,193 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I wouldn't say betrayed, no. And I don't really let myself feel disappointed with we what have gotten this era (though I understand why it can sting to imagine the things we could have gotten!). That said, what you're feeling (both now and what you've felt over the years) is pretty natural, so I'm not bagging on you for having "wrong feelings" or anything -- it's very understandable why you feel the way you do! I do hope that for fans in the same emotional position as you, that you are surprised with something amazing, and soon (actual soon not Gaga-version of "s o o n". I do feel a bit confused/lost. I do wish we got more concrete announcements from Gaga or her team about whether there are or are not further plans for this era, and a clue about what they are. (Not vague emoji captions that could mean anything or nothing, I mean something like "expect a MV or a performance in the next month" or something VERY clear, like that.) ⚡🐲 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe confused would be a better word to describe how we're feeling as a fanbase. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
