By us lot, sure, but the GP are largely unaware of what's going on yet.

BTW had a meat dress clad announcement at an award ceremony. ARTPOP has only had a tattoo pic and some posts on LM.com.

Yes but by fans.

The public has no idea ARTPOP is coming out. It wasn't like Born This Way where she announced it on live TV

Like any other project of hers. It's her basic marketing, overhyping... that's why people don't like the final product later. Remember when BTW was supposed to be the "album of the decade"? It sounds like joke now.

No.

Next year watch it having as much hype as BTW

No... the general public has no idea what ARTPOP even is.

oh god. people saying Artpop is overhyped.

She's hyping it up at Littlemonsters, that's it. And it's nowhere near the overhyping from BTW era when it was all about "Album of the decade/generation/whateva". She's just telling details and giving clues about Artpop.
