Earlier this week, British musik mag NME set out to determine the “10 Most Pretentious Albums Ever.” The daftar includes (genuinely pretty terrible) conceptual fare like Kiss’ musik From “The Elder,” Lou Reed’s Metal Machine musik and, uh, Lady Gaga’s Born This Way, which somehow bested all competitors to nab the #1 spot.
How? Well, as NME writer Priya Elan wrote, “On Born This Way, [Gaga] seemed to believe in her own hype, convinced she had a message to share. Cue an album of unwieldy ‘anthems’ that couldn’t mask the fact that the fun had left the building.” Elan singled out the thumping “Scheiße” as BTW’s most pretentious moment, adding, “Did electroclash die for this?”
Snap. As you’d probably expect, those jabs had Gaga’s Little Monsters on the offensive, and they launched an all-out attack on Elan in the komentar section of NME’s website. But Gaga herself remained above the fray — for a while, anyway.
On Thursday night, she took to her Twitter account to hit back at NME, a publication that’s certainly been no stranger to charges of pretentiousness over the years.
“Oh the irony of winning ‘Most Pretentious Album Ever’ from none other than NME. *Eye roll,*” Gaga wrote. “I might laugh forever [and] then return to narcissism.”
Double snap. Having sufficiently eye-rolled her way through the situation, there’s been no further komentar from Gaga about the list.
