Is it just me or is Lady GaGa's style reflective of pop music dealing with a new target audience? By that I mean the fact that hipsters (and maybe the gay community?) have become a lot more vocal in steering the direction of pop music. Now that every hipster is spending their spare time listening to Beyonce and Lil Wayne, is the industry

LOL that must be a NY hipster thing. In the bean, Beyonce and Lil' Weezy aren't exactly what you'd call...appropriate listening material?

I do agree that artists like Lady Gaga and Katy Perry are kind of reaching out to the hipster/fashionista/gay/trans community in a big way in terms of how they market themselves/preform/ and dress. Quite frankly, I love it. I think that in years past--pop-stars forgot how to put on a show. I mean, yeah you had Brit and Madge playing tonsil hockey--you had some over-chroeographed numbers--but with artists that are starting to emerge now--you're getting these bigger than life personas and performances that really haven't been prevalent since (I hate to say it...) MJ and the days of the Thriller album release.
