The album notably pioneered several musical trends. The single edit and music video for "Alright" featuring Heavy D made Jackson the first pop artist to collaborate with a rapper, setting the trend for future pop and hip-hop collaborations and remixes.[91] "Black Cat" was observed to influence pop artists transitioning into pop-rock, most notably Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, and Rihanna.[92][93][94]
Its socially conscious themes have been considered an influence to Lady Gaga.[29] The album also set a trend for pop albums to include various spoken interludes.[86] Due to Jackson's frequent usage of industrial rhythms, Trent Reznor had stated mainstream industrial music "sounds like a Janet Jackson record."[86][96]
The headset microphone was notably brought to prominence by Jackson throughout the Control and Rhythm Nation eras.[106] Entertainers such as Will Ferrell,[107] Jennifer Aniston,[108] Alex Wagner,[109] Pink,[110] Liz Phair,[111] and Thunderheist[112] have referred to it as the "Janet Jackson headset mic" or headpiece.
Following the album's success, Jackson "ended the decade as a massive global superstar."[113] Stan Hawkins stated the album "helped secure Jackson a position on par with Madonna."[114]
The success of the album has been considered to break racial boundaries in the recording industry.
Glenn Gamboa of Newsday regarded the album to have "changed the way radio sounded and MTV looked."[116]
The album has been considered a predecessor to Lady Gaga's Born This Way due to its usage of industrial music and similar lyrical themes.[29] Michelangelo Matos stated, "The debt Lady Gaga's Born This Way owes Janet Jackson [...] could only be more obvious if she'd put "1814" at the end of the title.
