.Oh mess, I forgot about the Black Eyed Peas

! Um..eh, let's pretend the electropop/dance trend would've happened anyway but I stand by my point. Forget about the current Gaga, the old Lady Gaga definitely made a splash in the way popstars were marketed, it feels like it began to be more focused on the image + gimmicks after she appeared. But she also made an impact on music tbh. Sometimes I wonder if stars like Katy would've ever pull off her candy themed world or if Miley would still be singing pop-rock on jeans if they didn't see how pushing boundries worked for Gaga (not trying to sound delusional).
