Then I had a huge meltdown. :rofl:  I only bought the deluxe edition because the cover looked so much better.

:lmao: Many thought it looked like it could've been a cheap 80s album cover art.

 

To be fair, I kinda think that was the point. :hehe:

People who thought the real cover would be revealed three days after just like the Jesus Christ resurrection   :toofunga:

We legitimately all thought it was a joke at first.  Then as the night went on, the meltdowns started.  We began concocting elaborate explanations for how this could all be a joke or a trick - "it's a betrayal!!!!!!" - and slowly the meltdowns turned into resigned acceptance and quiet sadness.  It was the biggest meltdown that I have EVER witnessed on this site.

 

Then came the dozens upon dozens of threads offering their interpretations of the symbolism in the cover and what it meant for the rest of the era.  In a lot of ways, I think the cover reveal is what kickstarted this hype/disappointment/meltdown/hype pattern that is now present for even just fashion choices.  It was present before, of course, for things like music videos, but not to the degree that it is currently, and before this it definitely wasn't as inherently negative as it is now.

I was okay with it. But I honestly believed in the "betrayals" because of Judas era. :toofunny:

"I don't understand why all the hate is going around...

It is beyond obvious that this is a fake album cover. Considering the perfectionist that Lady Gaga is, I really doubt this would be the album cover that she would truly put out. And if it was, do you think her record label would allow it?

All this crap over nothing. " 

 

A real post from the old site.  :toofunny:  :toofunny:  :toofunny:

"Dyke on a bike" was my first reaction  :toofunny:

Haha I wasn't here either, but I remember I was in shock after seeing it on Twitter. I totally believed the whole "betrayal" idea, thinking she'd release the real cover three drays later :lmao: I actually LOVE it now, it's so badass. I prefer it to the special edition cover.

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: That was one of the greatest meltdowns ever. Everyone was praying it was fake and part of some elaborate betrayal scheme.
