Lady Gaga has always been ahead of the curve. Sure, in the past she may have borrowed some of her references from other people in the industry. Most notably, she may have even stolen a haircut from one of Jezebel’s own staff members. However, as she’s wont to say and I’m wont to repat after a couple glasses of wine, she’s talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show-stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, etc., etc., etc. And, although that particular quote might have been in reference to Ryan Murphy, in a new interview with InStyle magazine, she’s letting everyone know that she too, is a step ahead of the rest of us.
Every so often she’ll log on and tweet random things like the letter “f” or “I don’t remember Artpop” (her third album). What gives? “I’m trying to crack the code that is the algorithm of the Internet, and I will do so in various ways,” she says. “You may not always understand why an ‘f’ tweet gets that many likes. Who knows why? It was just a social experiment. I’m trying to understand people.”
When I went to search for the “f” tweet on Twitter, I was honestly unsurprised to find that I’d already liked it. However, I probably just assumed that at the time she’d lost her phone in her purse and had randomly sent out a single letter into the universe. Clearly, I was blithely unaware of the fact that I was playing right into her hands, as she was gathering the data with which she will crack the code that is the algorithm of the internet! I do, with devastating accuracy, remember the “I don’t remember Artpop” tweet, because it was a terrible blow to those of us who’ve spent the better part of the last seven years yelling at everyone about how it’s just misunderstood. For what it’s worth, it is just misunderstood!
