Lady Gaga vs. Katy Perry? Options

[Kathleen]

So upon the release of Lady Gaga's latest video, "Alejandro," Katy Perry posted on her Twitter account, "Using blasphemy as entertainment is as cheap as a comedian telling a fart joke."

So which videos/singer do you prefer -- videos about faux lesbianism or ones that feature latex outfits and swallowed rosary beads?

*ahem* Thanks for proving my point. Adult literacy rates in the US have fallen in the past 20 years. :)
mainstream
(n.) - the principal or dominant course, tendency, or trend
(adj.) - belonging to or characteristic of a principal, dominant, or widely accepted group, movement, style, etc.

No where did I "bash" mainstream media. I simply stated that because she's popular, more people know of her, and more people are shocked. A band with 10 fans could perform nude while slashing the necks of puppies, but hardly anyone would be shocked by that, because it is not of the mainstream.

really? any proof? lmao@literacy rates translating into intelligence

The process behind becoming obviously successful in the music industry is simple: if you can allure and charm the preteen crowd, you'll eventually latch the rest who just don't give a shit about anything else.

thats not bashing mainstream? saying any alluring music can turn a huge profit?

Music is no longer poetic composition; now, if it's worthy enough to get people into a club to grind against each other, that's all that matters.

you're right, you bashed all music

Just because 99% of Americans can read doesn't mean they can do so competently. The actual percentage rate is just the percentage of people who can read enough to survive: "go," "stop," "cheeseburger - $0.99"

Remember saying I was generalizing "all people and music into categories"? Those are called "genres." I assume you can look that up? Sarcasm aside, look at the past. Hell, you could even do it by decades of the modern era if you don't want to do it throughout human history. Popular music revolved around lyrics, then transformed into seeing how hard one could strum a guitar before their fingers bled, then resorting to regurgitated lyrics over stale melodies. Now it's a profession to splice two audio files of bass tones together. How can you possibly argue against that when you can see it yourself firsthand?
