True, but there is no denying the conventionality of her actual music; she's a product of the same old awful music industry machine, producing meaningless trash, whether or not she 'hacks' weird outfits which get her attention.
There is a sense that RMS has dropped that one in to seem more 'down with the kids' than he really is, which doesn't speak of pride as a hacker...
- kiiski 16y agoHe said "Lady Gaga's approach to clothing seems like hacking to me.". There no mention about music and whether it's conventional or not is irrelevant. I can eat food conventionally (without using six chopsticks) and still be a hacker.
- singular 16y agoActually, fair enough - I suppose I feel there is an an ethical aspect to hacking - you do it because you love it, not for any other compromised reason, I like to think it's better than that. I get the impression the music is just a means to an end, as it seems so generic + soulless to me (of course that's imho), however with regard to her fashion - that is probably just as sincere as it appears. Apologies - allowing my prejudices to affect my judgement.
