If you don't think she is an Icon, why don't YOU provide reasons.
I don't know anything about her. I was saying that it was ironic, you saying just because you don't like an artist that it doesn't make them not an icon, which is one of your favourite pasttimes.

But there are legitimate objective reasoning for my statement.

I am not saying it because I like her. I am saying it because she has made iconic moments in pop culture that still influences today.

Instead of insisting she is not an Icon, why don't you listen to her music and become educated on her like I did with Tom Waits.

You're missing my point. I'm not saying she's not an icon. I'm saying that just because you don't like an artist like Kanye or Lady Gaga doesn't strip them of being icons. I provided you with objective (lulz) information on why they were icons and you were blinded by your dislike for them.

You did provide reasons. However, none of those things you mentioned has made a cultural significant impact on pop culture. None of what you mentioned has been groundbreaking for music.

Nope those are objective facts. I still have not seen you say why Kanye is not an icon.

You were a little vague. Could you go into more detail? I want to understand.
