Watching the opening to Lady Gaga’s video for Marry The Night
reminded me of the worst faux artistic tendencies that I’ve seen way too many
times before. Seen it from ex-girlfriends trying to be edgy and ironically
pretentious, mostly. Overblown statements pretending to mean exactly what they’re
saying when what they’re saying is vague and shit. And I say ex-girlfriends
like it’s a plural but it’s one and it’s embarrassing and it’s juvenile and I
don’t know I was really expecting. It was all well and good when I was 18 and
all I cared about was people knowing that I was listening, trying to care,
trying to be invested in what people say, but nowadays if all that’s said is this
kind of… bourgeois pretension… then what’s the bloody point?
Beyond that, I do quite like this song. Muh muh muh muh OH
GOD ALL OF GAGA’S SONGS ARE THE SAME OH RAH GA
