Most culture now is made with PCs, and their ubiquity means we are flooded with their output: novels not read, music not listened to, documentaries not watched, spreadsheets not studied and games not played. There is such an over-supply of culture that in polite company it is considered a duty rather than a pleasure to consume it. - New Waver |

What? I am a hipster. A happy one. I'm playing épater les bourgeois by liking vulgar and common things. Like pop music, trucker caps and PBR. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so what says that about choices? |
||||||||
|
|

..? |

If you have to like Lady Gaga to not be considered a hipster than i'm absolutely fine with being a hipster. |

If culture is an ubiquitous annoyance you will tend to choose the least annoying culture. I predict this will lead to a simultaneous compartmentalization and homogenization. Culture will be like those meals that come in trays with little compartments, with a consistent substance in each compartment. Within each compartment an oriental formality will be observed: strict codes of consumption, almost. The biggest compartment will have Lady Gaga in it. |

i hate to ignore your hip nudgewinkitude peepykins and rant like a dick but JESUS, just like what you like. i think both vampwk and ladgag are cack but i think about this in about the same way that i think "this bread has gone mouldy" or "washing up is a bit dull" at the same time i know this is part of (western) cultural ubiquity and everything-on-tap and options paralysis and such. it seems like such a smug, joyless thing and i'm not quite sure what to do with that but it seems equally pointless giving it too much consideration when yer already neck-deep |

I can't just like what I like. That's sincerity and sincerity is awful. It's what scoutmasters and priests want of you when they aren't trying to bugger you. It's dehumanizing and diminishing. I have the luxury of entertaining ideas instead of choosing between them because a tiger isn't trying to eat me. |

your loathing of Lady Gaga must be way more intense if you don't even want to spout off about it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
But seriously(?), my three favorite releases of the last 12 months are Calvin Harris, Lady Gaga and Vampire Weekend. They are awesome. There is so much cultural competition now that only the cream rises to the top. |
||||||||
|

yes you can you big tart. you like that new monolake because something about it touches you in a non-scoutmaster way and you listen to it with attention in a quiet place and make a small event of it and it's nice. can you explain why you like it? yes, of course you can, but it won't be the nebulous, nameless thing that really happens. or may or may not happen. erm please don't think i hate anything from missus gaga, i just can't "take" anything that i really "like" from it (see my utterly transparent perspective, hear it roar). i think it's just because it sounds so amazingly calculated and i can't relate in any way. it's just a thing with a thing on top and then some more things |

Her voice is shite and her lyrics are the musings of a spastic. That's what I take from it. |

I dont believe you do. Or you stopped listening to other music, music you must find yourself and that's not put in your ears by massive radio stations. |

Vampire Weekend I'm rather indifferent too. They have some nice guitar riffs and shouty bits (hey hey hey!) but I couldn't tell you what any of their songs are about despite going out with a girl who adored them and played the album very regularly. |

|

Are they? It's the end of the song. |

You're right though, mine are different from the number one hit on google. My apologies. |

oh oh! |

The actual lyrics aren't any better. |

I'm impressed you knew they were wrong though. |

Please define popularity & best. At this point Lady Gaga & Vampire Weekend are viral campaigns that have yet to translate into revenue. Case in point the top ten money makers of 2009 are listed below. Neither Gaga & the Vamp's broke the top 40. U2 $108,601,283 Bruce Springsteen $57,619,037 Madonna $47,237,774 AC/DC $43,650,466 Britney Spears $38,885,267 Pink $36,347,658 Jonas Brothers $33,596,576 Coldplay $27,326,562 Kenny Chesney $26,581,141 Metallica $25,564,234 Sources & Shit aint changed much from the 80's & 90's are these folks to blame? Did they dilute culture? |

Her voice is shite and her lyrics are the musings of a spastic. That's what I take from it. huh? what's your point? that could be said of just about anyone admired on this forum as well. the milkman's wife's tits can be considered more spastic than ANY output of gaga. it's all tongue in cheek really. and yes, that counts for gaga too. obviously. maybe that's the problem: the world is going tongue in cheek and you're too stiff to recognize it? there's at least one certainty: i'm waaay too stiff to recognize your tongue in cheek thing. usually it's more obvious than in this thread....o look i'm all confused |

I wrote a really long reply to this but it disappeared. In summary, subjectivity and Aphex is a spastic. |

Would the Queen song 'Somebody To Love' be popular if it had been released today? If not, why not? This is just an inquiry. |

I heard about this Lady Gaga bloke a lot lately, even though I am out of touch with culture by choice as it gets right up my arsehole, and then the first time I actually heard one of her songs that went something like "I am at the club and I feel a bit drunk and wohoo keep dancing the floors moving, he heee" and I thought harder and harder until it went back to when Blue Monday was in the charts without Kylie wiping her cancer tits over it. |

lady gaga is challenging music for idiots. |

oh ok well popular. why are shit things popular. it's simple, undemanding, recognisable, forgiving. you can also share it with all your friends. i dunno its not much of a mystery. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

but some things are so unforgivably shiiit you sit around completely baffled for hours after hearing it, out of your canals with a twig |

Listen, I'm just being silly with the whole arch ironic hipster thing because people already think I'm joking about liking Gaga. Honestly, my enjoyment of Monolake is more complex and nuanced than my enjoyment of pop music. Robert Henke hasn't had a new idea in ten years, and his music is interesting primarily as aural sculpture. It doesn't touch me emotionally or artistically at all. Lady Gaga on the other hand can make me cry. She believes in me. She believes that I can believe in her. It's that simple. We're in love, I'm pushing her home in a shopping cart with a bottle of champagne and the sun is coming up. Maybe we'll vomit together. |

Lady Gaga provides the themes for a renaissance similar to that of Caligula era Rome |

Milian met actor Nick Cannon on the set of their film, Love Don't Cost a Thing, in 2003, and they began dating.[84] After being together for two and a half years, Milian ended her relationship with Cannon in 2005 when she found out he was cheating on her.[85] Cannon revealed that he refused to stay faithful to Milian because their relationship was becoming too much like a "Christian romance".[86 Christians are sexually repressed. That's why they do rapes on children, beat the wifes and get divorced at higher rates than seculars. They are against pleasure that isn't secret and shameful. Someday the religious attitudes towards sex will seem as silly as Pythagoras's condemnation of eating beans. |
