Queen 99 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Pop Art is a movement in the 1950s that brought pop culture into fine art. It was a huge statement in challenging norms and traditions by merging both concepts. In Gaga's ARTPOP, (I'm basing this from what she's done so far) she's doing the opposite and bringing fine art into popular culture through her music. Ahh, that makes more sense! Thank you. Maybe ARTPOP isn't a bad idea after-all. :hor: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

whois 0 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I wonder what ARTPOP is going to be about, concept wise (if there is a concept in it, but there seems to be). As she said, it could be anything She says this a lot. "I am anything and everything you want me to be," and I remember her saying something like "Who is to say what is and isn't pop culture?" when talking about the dark cover of TFM and her label saying it's too gothic and not pop. I believe her saying that ARTPOP could mean anything is from the argument that both concepts of Art and Pop Culture, isn't easily defined into words and are both very fluid and evolving. Art IS, in the same way Pop IS. These are both institutions already set in society. In this sense, ARTPOP is whatever we would define it as. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole 0 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I hope this is her most intellectually/philosophically challenging album yet.

Omg it's on Wiki now. I'm not used to seeing those all next to each other, but I do like it. It looks beautiful (The uppercase is going to get annoying tho) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delete 258 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 So... ARTPOP is going to be about revolutionizing the music industry? About bringing art and refinement to mainstream music? Making it fun and radio friendly, but artsy and metaphoric at the same time? If so, I believe Gaga will try to use this album, to get others to copy her. So that other artists will resurrect pop music and make it something special, instead of meaningless. Like maybe, she will be the first artist in a very long time, to bring pop music back to its former glory. THAT is what will make her an icon.

Hexxx 2,244 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 ooooooooooo my telephone is ringin'!!! ARTPOP is going to be her weapon and it's gonna outdo all her albums. There's gonna be better than Shiesse, DITD (hopefully) Bad Romance, Poker Face, Just Dance etc. Lady Gaga/ Madonna/Lana /Azealia Banks/ Jazmine Sullivan/ DEEE-LITE/ Moko Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art IS, in the same way Pop IS. These are both institutions already set in society. In this sense, ARTPOP is whatever we would define it as. I wonder if that's what she plans to do, to make something so open and interpretive with the new album as a whole. Hmmm. 3 points in and ready for more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EXCEPT GAGA CAN DO THEM AND SEEM SMART B/C SHE CAN JUST SAY IT'S IRONIC. GAGA PLSSSS. To be honest, she's been doing this ARTPOP thing since The Fame era. The songs and lyrics from the first album all seem so fun and silly until you dig in deep to find their real meaning and appreciate the thought that came in with the writing of her music. Her songs only started becoming very straightforward with their message in BTW, and even at that, majority of the album is still filled with lyrical metaphors. I say we're all getting dance anthems and billboard hits from the next one. :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaga doesn't ever do Gaga She does whatever she predicts is going to be popular, way early, and does it 1000x better than everyone else. But that doesn't mean she's original! Neither is Kesha. but still. Edited August 5, 2012 by Mole Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am so annoyed with the radio right now, everything is so mediocre and just obnoxious techno. I mean I LOVE TECHNO, but the stuff on the radio is just bleh. I want her to just breathe new life into pop again. It's so stale right now. At first I was excited for just fun dance songs on ARTPOP, but now i want MOAR. lol. I'm so excited ♥ Human generated art Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
