Do you think Lady Gaga herself came up with these references or does she have some kinda geek doing her videos? :thunk:

yeah thats pretty good


the "pop culture" / "geek culture" divide has long since collapsed so it'd be almost weird for her not to have a few references genuinely in mind

e: Bad Romance feels like it's got a lot of Alien in it.

Pokerface is a pretty legit supervillain aesthetic

Yesss!

Bad Romance was ripped straight out of the pages of Heavy Metal

(Her oldest videos got a remaster last year so give it a watch even if you know every shot by heart like me)

The magazine's aesthetic and cultural idiom is absolutely an intended reference in this title to what might be my favorite love song

And of course she introduced her latest album with this love letter to hyperborean pulp where she keeps switching between a freed concubine psionic and some kind of robot or ancient astronaut technogoddess

Also people idly wonder but yes, this is exactly where her name comes from (I'd link a source but everything wants to talk about the litigation over who coined it).

lmao this rules

Honestly a lot of her stuff is a compelling aesthetic unto itself, and a lot of scifi is really just the aesthetic. Nobody cares about Road Warrior's plot, it's just the aesthetic, and Bad Romance and Stupid Love deserve as many silly video game and TV references.

If we want to metastasize this into "pop music that is actually scifi," then there's the entirety of A Kind of Magic.

Peak Gaga was the 2009 VMAs, but sadly the only version I can find to link is this potato-grade DailyMotion.

Meta-Cyanide is from Dune as well. And a lot of women are into Dune so I can believe she is a fan.

She's a giant loving nerd and I'm pretty sure she's waiting by the phone for someone to ask her to play Bayonetta in a movie considering some of her costumes have been ripped directly from those games.

Honestly, Marvel should snap her up as Dazzler.
