My issue with Gaga isn't so much her (even though her megalomania of late challenges Michael Jackson's, I can see her erecting a statue to herself by her next album) as much as its her fanbase. I was told point blank by a "monster" that I'm a traitor to the gay community because I'd rather pay attention to todays rock artists than follow her and that disliking her means I'm self-hating. Please, I don't care for her because I've outgrown bubblegum pop music (if I want to listen to modern pop, I'll go for Robyn or Scissor Sisters any day instead) and that the longer she's been out, the more obvious it is that she's a copycat of Bowie, Grace Jones, Madonna and about fifteen other 70's and 80's artists but the average fan she's targeting think she's original because they have no idea.
Sure... but there's also younger people that are classic music fans.
Many that know, love and are die hard fans of classics, and some who don't know them at all, or know some of them from hearing their names in passing.
It's not a crime, but it's true.
