Did Lady Gaga's stage name age badly?

It’s honestly as iconic as it was when she debuted. It’s different and yet unique.

Nah, it’s amazing. Knowing it’s origins and that she basically just adopted Lady from Lady Starlight and Gaga from Radio Gaga for burlesque shows at dive bars speaks to the core of her artistic ethos.

no, it’s forever iconic and she should capitalize the second G again :gaygacat9:

Her name is Harley Quinn until the Oscar nomination morning that doesn’t pan out.

Ahh I love the film buffs on here. So in tune with the industry it's exciting to see a persons perspective who obviously has knowledge to predict these things through their own experience with their own Oscar nominated faves.

I think it's deeply legendary how it's such a ridiculous name but has become completely normal to say and write about. "Lady Gaga" like... that's iconic luv x

Yes, she kind of show herself on the foot with that one. The novelty wore off, it’s not cool or edgy now.

 

It’s honestly why she struggles to make a cohesive album or get great reviews, such a wacky name and it’s hard to connect to it. 

What does her stage name have to do with anything else you mentioned? Just a cringe, low effort troll post all around. 
 

Her stage name is iconic. There’s no way she was going to be allowed to use Stefani when record execs already thought she was similar to Gwen Stefani. Lady Gaga is one of the most iconic stage names of all time now.

I think it's aged well all things considered, and in hindsight it's a fitting stage name too because it truly encompasses her essence as a multifaceted artist. Obviously the pop stans prefer the mononym (Gaga) because the full thing feels a little idk, less personal I guess but to the GP, she still is and will always be Lady Gaga. She has a strong brand of being a kind and thoughtful person that consistently advocates for individuality and self-expression. There's also an unapologetically drag component to her stage name because her artistry and career have always felt like a love letter to drag culture and the LGBTQ+ community.

 

Over the years, it's been fascinating to watch how she's been able to grow and change and create this interesting dichotomy between her "Lady" and "Gaga" personas, create their individual archetypes and play with people's expectations but then also go on to destroy those same expectations by blending the two seamlessly on her own terms and blur the boundaries for both to co-exist.

 

Early on, she would wear all these flamboyant and outré looks but the minute she'd sit down on a piano and stripped down one of her songs and sang, you could instantly tell there was something very traditional and old-school about her and the way she approaches her showmanship. Then, 2014 onwards, she started to lean into and showcase that side of herself more with her now-iconic and masterful career reinvention. Today, 15 years out from her debut, almost everything that she does can be placed on that ever-widening creative spectrum and it all somehow makes sense.

 

TL;DR it's iconic, timeless and all-encompassing.

You're right, Patri¢k - not every name ages well. I hear the Harley role is a musical, I hope she doesn't win a Razzie both for worst actress and worst song.
