For me, personally the VMAs was much more like what I envision from Chromatica's live performances...it's more on its aesthetic. While Chromatica Ball was good, i feel the album's aesthetic and the tour was a bit different. Am I the only one?

sashay gaga-y!!

Horny Chicken

By the time she started the tour, she was already in the “Mayhem” headspace, writing and producing the album, hence the darker brutalist aesthetics. 

The fun pink cyberpunk world was just something her team (I assume Nicola) put together when she was really depressed and couldn’t even bother to promote the album. It was beautiful but she had already moved on when she started making Mayhem. 

It wasn’t completely abandoned though. The pink and purple colors were still there, the bug headpiece, the Chromatica sine symbol, the whole Replay outfit and some of the interludes had elements of the original aesthetic.

This. I think the VMAs is probably the best iteration of the Chromatica aesthetic (the acceptance speech looks are some of the best of the era), but seeing the new aesthetic for the tour is actually what inspired me to buy a ticket because, no shade, but I was afraid the tour was going to be Enigma 2.0 based on a lot of what we had already seen until that point :icant:

I will always say

We could have the 2020s Chromatica aesthetic.

Or we could have Gaga back as a full force of nature. 

I'm glad with what we got.

Chromatica ball was so much more mature and sophisticated , rather reminiscent of TMB 1.0 .

the 2020 Chromatica aesthetic felt like it was trying to be TMB 2.0 aesthetic , and it felt messy and tacky
