DarkGa will never satisfy this fanbase

[Lucas 27,466]

I disagree  The most praised songs on Mayhem are the darkest ones and the ones that have the Gaga twist that we love.

My personnal issue with TDD is not that it's not dark, it's just that it's a cheap bad song that should've stayed unreleased. The GP loves Gaga's uniqueness and her Gaga twist, which are 2 things that TDD doesn't have

LM: Gaga we want DarkGa BACK!

Gaga: Here’s Disease, a dark song and a creepy mv

LM: this is too dark, it will flop, GP hates too dark

Gaga: here’s TDD a groovy but dark song and a spooky mv

LM: this is not dark enough, it’s too dancey to be dark! And the mv is LAME!

Gaga: ma vaffanculo 

 

Can u guys just enjoy the era? 

Too dark, not dark enough, mayhem is not dark, dark dark dark 

Didn't you hate TDD at first  

I think the key take away is that none of these people know what they're talking about when they say "dark" 'cause that's a mood descriptor and therefore subjective and different to every person  

TDD isn't dark at all imo. It's funky and campy, I love it. Disease is very dark, grungy, loud, and aggressive...and I love it too.

omg  so wrong and so loud about it

the video has many factually creepy moments other than black goo

you clearly only watched it once and discarded it after  there's plenty happening and more to dissect and analyse than the majority of videos i see get praised as good

That's why i said FOR ME, i don't like it. And i actually prefer to listen audio instead of music video.

[AVeryGagaHolyDick 26,252]

Why this thread now? So random lol

not to mention we all loved Disease, the fact that it would undeniably flop didn’t stop us from celebrating it

yeah... and your definition of creepy is wrong 

to say walking with a cane in abra is more creepy than this? make it make sense...

[PartySick 161,569]

Wait is this a thing? Some people don't like TDD?

Character flaw tbh. That track slaps.

Yes, this outfit with that scenography look very cheap to me.

[SHALLOW 16,459]

I love Disease MV. Idk how this fanbase let it flop tbh but i agree that it definitely wasn't meant for the GP.

Overall I'm pretty satisfied with this era in general, especially the darkness of it. I just wish we got more looks and photoshoots to help solidify the imagery of the era

I get this, Disease missed the mark for me too. I wouldn't call it "cheap" but it definitely doesn't mesh well with the song itself imo. The "Gaga vs Gaga" thing was wasted on it but I'm so glad it turned into the "Lady in Red"/"Mayhem" stuff.

I feel like what Gaga does best is subvert expectations. You turn on Disease and the video is what you'd expect from that song, just not executed well.

Turn on Abracadabra and you're blown back by something that came out of nowhere.

With a title like "The Dead Dance", you'd expect the creep factor and she initially delivers with the dolls, color scheme, and look. But then it's flipped upside down and becomes a campy, groovy jam and the video perfectly encapsulates that.

I already told u that it was a social experiment of mine to show myself how powerful I am in this sh-thole and how my opinion can easily toxic the thoughts and opinions of everyone.. I only had to post here and there that the song is meh and not to expect much before release 

Dark is many things, it can be a concept, the lyrics, the mood, the aesthetic even just the fashion. and dark can be fun too and not something depressing or creepy, it can even be sexy.

For example, TFM is considered a dark album, but from a concept, the fear of.... but the songs? most of them are pretty happy dance songs. like Telephone.. actually only 2 songs are "dark" in the sense of it, Teeth and Monster.

Mayhem is a very dark album, even a song like Don't Call Tonight is dark and speaks about emotional abuse of a parent and the fear of confronting them.

 

This is what I like about Mayhem, it has so many layers of darkness, that it's actually challenging the fans themselves and their own idea of "dark album", because they expected something very in your face, very flat, but then they got this big onion to deal with.

You’ll never satisfy everyone at the same time, especially a bunch of fussy gays. I think she delivers absolute serves consistently on all fronts from glam to dark.

Sure  

We already know about your influence 'cause liddos on Reddit and Twitter were quoting you as an "insider" even when the statements were absurd and I couldn't even get mad about the trolling 'cause at some point it's just on them  

I think you just didn't like the song at first and she grew on you like DCT, The Beast, and HBDUWM grew on me

Mayhem is the album I've always wanted from her tbh. I put it next to MJ's Dangerous as one of the best albums period and if anyone knows how geeked I get over that album you know that's the highest praise I can give  

Serious themes and vibes throughout but the songs are deceptively fun.

I never cared about "dark" or "not dark". Gaga usually does well at whatever she's trying to do and that word seriously has no set definition among the little slurs so the complaints they give over "dark pop" are literally meaningless  

Totally agree on TFM too 'cause, sonically speaking, that's probably one of her brightest sounding albums. Only "Monster" and "Teeth" have a darker sound to them despite every song being thematically...idk, dire, I guess.

[BloodyVelvet 667]

Disease is a masterpiece. Period. 
 

MAYHEM is dark either it’s the lyrics, the music but the overall theme is definitely dark and I’m here for it. It’s gonna age incredibly. And in a few years, some of you, myself included, will see it as her magnum opus. Just wait and see.
