Gaga's giallo killer with ocular herpes look in "Disease" is such a serve

 

What are some other striking examples of intentionally ugly imagery in pop?

The plague-doctor esque look was definitely a serve. Nothing else gave from the mv tho unfortunately.

The demon in this video throwing up some black slime on normal Justin + Normal Justin trapped in the trunk of demon Justin's car (covered in slime and being held down by tentacles)


And it was directed by Ti West, who did the Maxine trilogy :clap3: One of the best videos of 2024

It's sometimes not beautiful and cringy to look at but I like it when artists aren't afraid to look physically ugly and grotesque in their art.

The song is one of her saddest, and the imagery captures how heartbreak makes you feel like there's a hole in your chest.
