I feel bad she has to see so many bad takes about the album's sound. She clearly loves MAYHEM so much, said it was her favorite record in a long time, and put so much work and effort into prioritizing fans this era. It must f*cking suck to see some people dismiss it because they feel "duped" by the genre-switching and stuff. I hope she understands that many people love the album just the way it is

people are so dumb that everything needs to be delivered to them too literal these days, they can't stop for a second and think things through, dig deep into the music. pretty sad.

[Starmie25 18,569]

The whole album has a very melancholy vibe, so the whole "gothic dreams" thing makes total sense.

she said many times she isn’t adhering to one specific genre, that was the indication that mayhem wouldn’t be straight forward dark pop imo

About all this "it ain't dark pop, she misled it with those dark visuals" narrative... Let's take into perspective the following issue: ARTPOP had a colorful scheme, full of light and joy when it came to the whole visual thing. The concepts and vibes (specially with what she transmitted through the era) tell pretty much otherwise. Did she falsely advertised ARTPOP too? Kind of the same thing with Chromatica too (it may be a stronger example)

It is dark because she deliverately decided to be so

Yeah, kinda feel bad. And she seems to enjoy browsing Tiktok too (maybe it could also be her team partially?). But I'm sure Gaga can take it, not the first time that people don't get her album.

Ok, we all know the concept of genre is pretty vast. There can be multiple genres in the same sonic sphere of music, in the way Disease and Abra aren’t the same genre but are still under the same hard-hitting electronic umbrella. There’s no denying that through singles, visuals and even snippets, the project has always been marketed as a return to dark electronic pop. There wasn’t that much talk of disco, funk or 80s influences, if at all. No need to be doing mind gymnastics to tell fans they shouldn’t be feeling the way they feel.

Then again, it doesn’t mean the album isn’t great. It just wasn’t fully what we expected or were lead to believe it would be, and that’s ok. Past the initial surprise, I think we’re all enjoying this music.

Aw it upsets me to know she’s seen this, a lot of people in the comments saying it’s disappointing as well as all the zionist comments and stuff. 
 

I’m also quite out of it in terms of the reception it has received outside of GGD, so i’m shocked.

Honestly, I was surprised in such a hood way. I love the album so much more than the singles. I'm so happy she did y try to stick close to any formula and really spread her wings. 

Basically this. Fans who expected her to endlessly recycle Born This Way or any other era have only themselves to blame for not liking it. If there’s one thing we, as longtime fans, can agree on, it’s that Gaga always finds a way to reinvent herself, and she’s done it once again with an outstanding album.

I understand this, it’s a good take.

I  feel like the funky 80s vibe is still quite dark and hard hitting, minus on vanish. But there’s a lot of heavy instrumentation and sounds that lean toward dark pop/ electronic.

I truly don't think a single Lady Gaga stan could define "dark pop" even if you gave them a dictionary

This. It’s like lil monsters thinking everything slightly dark is “industrial”. I don’t even think they themselves even know what industrial even is.

I hope her and her team know that some rude comments are actually rival fanbases (katycats/madonna fans) doing a masquerade as Gaga fans 

Why are artists expected to stay inside a genre anyway, I feel like that would be annoying if it was me 

[Sarah H 3,629]

She honestly has some of the worst 'fans'
