Mr. Stratus Posted October 3, 2023 Posted October 3, 2023 Do you agree? more evidence that 2010s dance obsession atrl thinks is the only way forward is over? 3
Blue Jeans Posted October 3, 2023 Posted October 3, 2023 And she doesn’t do “just dance” music But also I would like to see her do more experimental dance music that can also showcase her vocals more. There is so much more to explore in dance music

luckythisway Posted October 3, 2023 Posted October 3, 2023 Billie truly is Gaga’s daughter, even rock legends can see it
truthteller Posted October 3, 2023 Posted October 3, 2023 this is why she explores makeup and acting i guess
Delusional Posted October 3, 2023 Posted October 3, 2023 Who is this? But yeah she should explore genres
Bloodflowers. Posted October 3, 2023 Posted October 3, 2023 We need Joanne 2.0 and less Chromatica but ATRL is not the place to have that conversation, I fear
Daddy Posted October 3, 2023 Posted October 3, 2023 Gene Simmons is a corpse at this point. Her talent shines in everything and rock is not more valid than dance music. Go croak somewhere else. 5 2
Antisocialites Posted October 3, 2023 Posted October 3, 2023 anyways, let me stream space-disco acclaimed classic I Feel Love by Donna Summer
Europe Posted October 3, 2023 Posted October 3, 2023 The possibilities are endless. She needs to put out more music in general. How about a new album every 9 months? She can do rock, jazz, pop, folk, country, why don't we have it all!!? I was told it's music not the bling with her after all. 1

State of Grace. Posted October 3, 2023 Posted October 3, 2023 (edited) I mean he did spill about Gaga (and Billie) being extremely talented/versatile and she should explore rock music because she is a rock star at heart. We've all been saying this for ages. But I reaaaally hate this perpetual condescending tone from these rock legends that Pop music is inferior to theirs, or that it's simply just mindless dance music. Even the latter is such a broad genre itself and there is soo much more for Gaga to discover/experiment with. She could even do electro-rock and it would be her magnum opus. She did flirt with it on Born This Way and it is considered her best by most fans for a reason. These takes are always coming from old men because women tend to embrace pop music more.

Khal Posted October 3, 2023 Posted October 3, 2023 I agree that the talent doesn’t match the output, but not that she’s too good for pop or dance.

LOTF Posted October 3, 2023 Posted October 3, 2023 And of course the stans that are in it just for the clout of acclaim will support this rockist take
Wildcat Posted October 3, 2023 Posted October 3, 2023 The interview is from 2021 This need to constantly seek validation from "real music!1" boomers is so pathetic. Her "disco boys on the poles" music is the reason why 99% of her fans follow her in the first place and we are talking about the same artist who once said that pop music will never be low brow. Dismissing her amazing early work because it wasn't made by some old straight bloke with a guitar is such an outdated, rockist take.
Reginald Posted October 3, 2023 Posted October 3, 2023 (edited) The last time I heard of Gene Simmons was during a transphobic rant... which is ironic, considering he's been parading around in drag for 50-60 years at this point. Edited October 3, 2023 by Reginald 1 3
hétérosexuelle Posted October 3, 2023 Posted October 3, 2023 It’s giving “rock music is real music” boomer bye grandpa

All good artists should evolve and mature. Atrl want bops and then manipulate things based on ‘cause Madonna got a hit era at 40 with dance- pop Katy and Gaga copying 2010 can all of a sudden be cool again jn the streaming era’ . Gene is just speaking the truth Edited October 3, 2023 by Mr. Stratus 3
Marry The Gods Posted October 3, 2023 Posted October 3, 2023 I don't really respect Gene Simmons as an artist from his suspicious past and his overall tone with other genres of music. l always welcome Gaga praise when it comes from wise and mature legends such as Tony Bennett, Patti Labelle, Liza Minnelli, Celine Dion, Stevie Wonder, etc but rock legends tend to give backhanded compliments and it only exposes how miserable and insecure some of them are. Behind all of the leather and booze, they are very fragile. 2
