Next is… a sparkly red thing pinned to a pillow and a coffin. The video opens with a Nazi-esque solider in fishnets and heels followed by a post-apocalyptic band of soldiers training. The music video on the other hand makes me sit straight up.

paranoia), factories of ill means, mind control, poisoning boyfriends / entire restaurants and then “bad romance” harpsichords, deadly robotics, bionics… perhaps there was more to this lady, methought?Īnd now we have “Alejandro”. A part of me was tempted to write her off as old-school glam-rock inspired, particularly after the Grammy’s Bowie-esque electric green sparkle suit and blue lightning bolt.Īnd yet… there was a touch of gothic influence about miss Gaga. I, like many people, Goths and non-Goths alike, enjoy Gaga’s music and eccentricities. In many a recent interview (mostly about “Bad Romance”, mind you) Gaga admitted in various ways that it was inspired by “Russian and German house music”, right down to the hardcore admission of being influenced by “Gothic Industrial Music”. In my mind, there is a difference between mainstream fashion wars and what Lady Gaga is doing. So what makes the eccentric American pop goddess any different? We’ve seen black nail polish and fashion Victoriana appear in Channel among others, and we’ve seen Vogue magazine and Redbook giving advice on “How to wear it and NOT look Goth”. How many times have we seen black nail polish and black Victorian-inspired items (or in Gaga’s case, a latex nun outfit) show up in mainstream fashion. This is GAF (‘goth as f*ck’), and as The Lady of the Manners says, we can all hear the realgoths screaming “Tourist!”. Is it any good? And, more to the point of this article, is it remotely Goth? Let’s see this new “Alejandro” video, I thought. I had a private giggle when I saw one of my favorite make-up gurus on YouTube had a “Gaga inspired nail tutorial” of “her” red stylized cross from the “bath haus of Gaga”. Maybe labels don’t matter hugely… but when you do feel you’re part of an underground sorority/fraternity – say, if you’re a goth – then it is nice to be publicly acknowledged by the mainstream media once in a while. The mainstream media has attached itself to very gothic symbolism… again. We check out the gothic influence on Lady Gaga Bad Romance videos
