Mr S 8,781 Posted March 10, 2025 Share Posted March 10, 2025 You’ve heard this talk about reheated nachos, haven’t you? The internet slang term came about last year, with “nachos” referring to a person’s style, aesthetically or sonically — the point being that, even if the ingredients are the same, it’s a dish best served fresh. The phrase reached a broader audience after Lady Gaga premiered “Abracadabra,” a single from her new album Mayhem, during the Grammys. “Abracadabra” feels quintessentially Lady Gaga, from its chainsaw synths to the very “Bad Romance” way she flips her name into a devilish tongue: “Abracadabra, morta-oo-ga-ga.” Even the menacing choreography of its music video seemed to hark back to a time when reviews likened her dark eccentricity to a “David Cronenberg creation.” As one fan emphatically proclaimed on X following the video’s premiere: “She really reheated her own nachos!!” https://www.stereogum.com/2299731/premature-evaluation-lady-gaga-mayhem/reviews/premature-evaluation/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
