I don't mind the long credits because it's promo for MANiCURE (another amazing song the GP needs to be exposed to) but I'm so pressed that there's that weird replay half way through that comes off as an error in editing.

 

I do hope it's an error so they can quickly fix it (like Katy fixed her DH video for the Allah pendant) otherwise people who don't know the song will find it weird.

The Secret Society is known as G.U.Y. - girl under you. She's under you (no longer at the top of the music industry) but she's in control and powerful. Gaga and her idea of society - you don't need to be on top to be powerful in the artistic sphere, in relationships and in the music industry.

 

The Price of Commercialism is the death of ART

Gaga has crash landed. She was a soaring phoenix during the incipient years of her rise in the pop industry. With her streaks of number 1s on the pop charts, that night she won 10 VMAs and winning multiple Grammys. She was also a cultural juggernaut.

 

However, after Born This Way, an injury and being cast out, she is left to die by those who only used her for money. The know that she is a money maker, however they don't care about her. ART lies DEAD under the money of the men of the music industry. Pop reigns supreme. 

 

But A hybrid can withstand these things

Gaga's struggle to her feet reflects her solitude in the battle to be herself in a world where men only want to use her for money. 

 

Venus, love and the need to rebirth

Neptune Pool is a cesspool for creativity. The HAUS and embryonic creative space bring her and heal her mind and soul - giving her the opportunity to rebirth from a safe space. It is both a funeral to lay to rest the pain of the past and a state of rebirth.

While she's rebirthing and absent from the music industry, it is taken over by RHOBH like artists - A commentary on mindless money making hollow music

tumblr_n2v9x90MuC1ql5yr7o1_500.gif

Appear awkward, glitz and glam while faux playing instruments. It is a commentary on shoving mindless and substance-less music down people's throats. If I'm rich, if I can afford it, put me in a music video and make me look musical and professional. It is intentionally awkward. They would know that the blonde lady is playing the chello in the wrong position.

Dance scene, fashion, scenic crane shots - what a music video should be 

 

Room full of rebirthed "Saints" "Philosophers" "Musical Icons"/ Cloning

There is a reference to Minecraft "/gamemode ARTPOP" (and previously Andy Cohen and the RHOBH - a show Gaga has professed to love). These together could represent elements of Gaga's hobbies during the time of her injury. They are interspersed as comical and interesting parts of her personal life. 

 

They take the DNA of Jesus (Love, Powerful, Wisdom), Ghandi, (Love, Wisdom), MJ (Talent, Love) and create a society of those who serve art (men in black suits). It is interesting to note that Ghandi, MJ and Jesus were all betrayed by the people they served. There is a duality here, Gaga could be talking about the love and compassion she spreads with her Little Monsters. 

 

Taking over the Industry

tumblr_n2v90eVfpu1qdmb8eo2_500.gif

 

Gaga blasts money to distract the money hungry music machine. With that opportunity, she uses it to push art, love and compassion into the industry. She removes the management from before. The reign of the money machine is over.

The world is now safe for her little monsters and people to leave the castle. For ART and POP to belong together.

what you did here is perffection! especially the fact that you noticed the irony, that it was intentionally awkward. i like to compare it to a robert rodriguez movie (she has said she likes his work) because there are just so many refferences. and im so glad sb managed to put all my thoughts in a post, great work!

THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking the time to think this all out & write it out! Made me enjoy the video even more than I already did :)

 

P.S. It's interesting to note that the Real Housewives scene could be a reference to Arcadian paintings (aka the wives are muses for modern day pop music). Also, there is a fourth coffin that is labeled as Lennon in the credits. However, I think the 4th one is supposed to be ambiguous & could possibly represent Gaga's future.

What a wacky, disjointed mess; I guess that makes it a fitting send-off for ARTPOP, then.

 

Well, at least she's back. :awkney:

The one and only thing that irks me in the video is that at the end the trees and the clones are quite clearly CGI/ edited in. I can't unsee it :laughga:

The rest of the video is flawfree though! :ARTPOP:
