People saying Alejandro was the start of it all

Born This Way opened up with bigger numbers WW than any album in like 10 years.

Judas was the start.

It was tho...

it's when she starting getting in her head that the way over the top things were okay(literally every BTW video and performance sans Judas)

It's embarrassing to openly like the music unless you are gay straight or bi, lesbian transgender lyf

While this statement is pretty broad, it's pretty factual. This wasn't the case during The Fame/Monster. Lady Gaga has become synonymous with LGBTQ and while the GP's social attitudes towards these demographics are shifting, the music we listen to is still very much a part of our identity.

So I can understand why some people are put off by being a fan of Lady Gaga or expressing an appreciation of her music because of those associations.

Some people are so sensitive about their fave. Like if this topic gets posted a lot then just ignore it, no need to be rude

Gaga declined because she started taking herself way too seriously and her ego got big but her music didn't deliver. Also gimmicks don't work forever, unless your Madonna, even Miley is proof of that

Madonna is proof of it too tbh

she had to completely reinvent herself in the 90's because of gimmicks

True. I remember in 2008/09 the most popular girls at my school (who were affectionately named 'The Plastics' after Mean Girls

) had 'Just Dance', 'Poker Face', 'LoveGame', 'Just Dance (HCCR Remix)', 'Just Dance ft. Kardinal Offishall (RedOne Remix)' and 'Poker Face (Jody Den Broeder Remix) as the profile songs as MySpace.

Yes, when I was in my last years of high school, MySpace was the social media everyone was using. The point is, none of them use Gaga anymore. By championing for "the underdog" she's become synonymous with the "freaks and outcasts and bullying victims" that she claims to represent. Most people don't want to see themselves as a freak or an outcast or a victim. And as a result, that girl with the block-fringe and vintage, square Versace sunglasses that used to be in the mind of consumers as "Lady Gaga" is long gone.

This isn't "Gaga" to the GP anymore:
