Lady Gaga just released the video for her new crappy single “Born This Way.” It’s covered in pixie dust, zombie ooze, and chunks of alien placenta. It’s official: Lady Gaga has bought into her own myth.
Her latest cinematic epic starts off with a unicorn in an inverted pink triangle. It is possibly the only image gayer than a picture of Elton John’s nightstand. Then we get a “manifesto from Mother Monster.” Can she do anything without it being some sort of grand message? One minute into it and it is clearly THE most pretentious thing I have seen in my life. Mother monster giving birth to a new race. Oh come and enlighten us mother with your manifesto! She clearly has stopped taking the meds for her narcissistic personality disorder.
The song is already a heavy-handed treatise about how great it is to be gay, now we need her manifesto on good and evil? For her first new work in quite awhile, does it have to be this very serious, self-mythologizing gobbledygook? Can’t she just string together some choreography and costume changes and party down?
Anyways, watch Lady Gaga giving a messy alien birth below:
