Her music is no more evolved or sophisticated than any other pop star, as well.
I don't understand how people like Avril Lagrine, Ke$ha, Nickelback, etc. can be so standard of the cool people to make fun of, where Lady Gaga is treated as something somehow more legit. She is no better or worse than any of them.
The only difference is that Lady Gaga has a padded portfolio of:
A) A prestigious school she didn't even have the fortitude to stick with, and graduate from. Yeah, she really is a hard working artist.
B) Piano skills that she implements infinitely inferiorly to musicians who get no credit, or attention.
There is a sickening obsession with Lady Gaga in this society, one of which plagues a very large group of very cultist worshipers. It's completely naive to not say the way she attained her status was through means that are not mentally, physically, psychologically, morally, or ethically healthy. Therefore, it's safe to say, there's a massive danger of her having a massively negative influence on youth.
I am not a douchebag for being troubled with this, neither for expressing my concerns. Even if it weren't about that, Considering the sheer ridiculously unjustified amount of popularity Gaga has procured in comparison to the quality of her output, of course people are going to be frustrated. Maybe that comes out as sarcasm, I don't know, However, I don't understand why people aren't more for an artist who promotes inferior music matched with powerful imagery, and good marketing. Then gets away somehow outselling everybody. It's really no different than hating on say, 50 cent, really.
