Keeping up with pop culture

September 12, 2010 by Andrea Mrozek 4 Comments

In a comment yesterday, Véronique commented that she knows a lot of pop culture songs because of her kids. Another way to keep up might be to read this scathing critique of Lady Gaga by Camille Paglia:

…[D]espite showing acres of pallid flesh in the fetish-bondage garb of urban prostitution, Gaga isn’t sexy at all – she’s like a gangly marionette or plasticised android. How could a figure so calculated and artificial, so clinical and strangely antiseptic, so stripped of genuine eroticism have become the icon of her generation? Can it be that Gaga represents the exhausted end of the sexual revolution? In Gaga’s manic miming of persona after persona, over-conceptualised and claustrophobic, we may have reached the limit of an era…

There comes a point when, if anything and everything is sexy, then nothing is sexy. (We probably passed that a while back now, come to think of it.)

    Except for the knee-jerk reaction, by which I mean that it seems people now engage in sexual activity much like dogs – and thereby dehumanizing.

    “If we don’t stand up for what we believe in and if we don’t fight for our rights, pretty soon we’re going to have as much rights as the meat on our bones,” Lady Gaga, 24, told talk show host Ellen DeGeneres on her TV program broadcast.”

    Great. But what *is* she standing up for?

    That’s good – apparently we are going through an obesity epidemic in North America? 😛
