While Gaga did come off as pretentious at times in the ARTPOP era, some of the concepts she talked about were really cool.
For instance, "reverse Warholian expedition". Put simply, Andy Warhol was famous for popart, taking elements of popular culture and making them into high art. He took the Campbell's soup can and made an avant-garde art piece of it. What Gaga wanted to do was reclaim the soup can. She wanted to take the popart, pop culture fused with art and creativity, and put it back into pop culture. Hence, ARTPOP and "art is in pop culture in me".
So many neat things like that. It would be nice to observe the era in a vacuum without all the mess, but alas.
The problem with that theme though is that we are not all artists and not interested in art either. So people just didn't "care" for that theme.
Which is why it's ARTPOP. It has something for both sides of the spectrum.

Is she performing somewhere this Sunday? I could swear I read something like that, but I can't for the life of me find any threads or anything about it. Perhaps it was just a dream.

She's performing at the Selma 50th Anniversary event on Saturday. R. Kelly happens to be performing as well.

It's my 4th ATRL Birthday
