Two Geezers & Gaga
me: ugh - les tumblr gays won't shut the eff up about Lady Gaga
Kristin: haha
me: she has a new video, apparently. She is one bird I'm glad flew WAY under my radar
Kristin: i mean, i enjoy her music from time to time- i just don't get the performance of it all..do not get at all.
me: i mean, i "get it" theoretically, but when it comes down to it, it's just catchy gay club music dressed up in crazy outfits, fake blood, and a wig. I feel like it's for gays what marilyn manson was for goths - an easily fabricated peg to hang one's hat..."Look! We're being catered to! Let's buy the album!"
Kristin: yeah. the music is damn catchy though - pah pah pah poker face pah pah poker face!
me: I respect her more than Katy Perry though, cuz at least LGG can sing and play the piano. It just seems SO performative to me, as to come full circle and just be overwrought, you know?
Kristin: definitely, definitely overwrought
me: Although I don't think the chillun' even a half generation younger than us have a gene-receptor for subtlety (jeezus, I sound like a geezer)
Kristin: ha - subtlety is lost. have you seen an episode of hannah montana? all mugging
me: YES!
Kristin: to the extreme and then the joke is explained
