What if her talking about “flopping” after a big success in multiple interviews, was her hinting an idea to intentionally release an album that ruffles feathers and knocks her back down a peg in popularity because she doesn’t want to  try and compete with brat. I think she believes in the music she is making but makes it purposefully not to the taste of what people are wanting and wouldn’t mind if it lets her go back to pre brat charli level? 
 

does any one know what I’m saying? It would honestly be kinda iconic to intentionally do something like this and I guarantee years later it would be like applauded and cult status

I've always hated her writing and then really liked the WH soundtrack. Dying For You is her best work yet. And now we're back to whatever this is.

or she said that to frame it as this, so when it's actually flop, she will already soften the blow by saying that prior, and got her fans thinking it's intentional art  :icant:

So you think she unironically released an electronic track called “rock music” that isn’t a rock song after people threw a **** fit about talking about doing rock that also features the lyric “I’m really banging my head” (which is about as on the nose and ragebait-y of a lyric someone could possibly include if their intention was to piss off rock critics)? :icant:

Like I get it if you don’t think the shitposting/ragebaiting works, but the fact that some folks aren’t even *recognizing* the intentional irony of this song is…somewhat concerning lol.

The whole “the dancefloor is dead, we’re doing rock music” is literally just turning this LCD Soundsystem lyric into a bit and parodying the way artists do a complete 180 and rebrand in response to trends in pop culture: 

“I hear that you and your band have sold your guitars and bought turntables.
I hear that you and your band have sold your turntables and bought guitars.”

Eh disagree. I think songs like Disease and Electric Chapel and You and I and SHICD dive into their respective genres very well and uniquely! 

They’re great but I think sometimes when fans describe songs on here as “rock opera and dance mixed together” to describe a song that’s just an electropop song makes my brain spasm.

Like Gaga only has ever made music that is predominantly Pop lead. Like Pop-Rock, Electropop, Synthpop etc varying subgenres of EDM which all go hand in hand. Jazz is literally the only full genre shift she’s ever done.

I never said anything of the sort it’s just an opinion I have that Gaga isn’t some weird experimental person like everyone acts like she is, she’s fun and includes elements of other genres into her pop music but she’s never diverged from pop whatsoever besides her jazz albums.

The irony of it all is when she FINALLY started becoming truly experimental to even the slightest degree on ARTPOP with genre bending and even some shifts into proper EDM this fanbase HATED it lmao they even dont support her actual diverged albums from just pop music (C2C L4S & Harlequin) whatsoever.

It's also very much a continuation of the metamodern approach she used on Brat. On Brat it was abrasive hyper stylised music vs super personal raw lyrics. This time the misdirection is the literalness of having a song called "Rock Music" vs a sound that slips that label. The literalness is the joke, but the song commits to the feeling of a rock song anyway. Plus the reference you noted. It's very much on brand for her, I don't understand the surprise.
