Being Twittophiliac and understanding “what’s so great” about pop songs go hand in hand, evidenced by the massive response Lady Gaga’s new song ‘Bad Romance’ has garnered in the wacky world of status updates. Just leaving your realtime search unrefreshed for a mere 30 seconds will have you missing countless intentionally grammatically incorrect words of praise for the 23 year old pop icon who’s new single just hit airwaves today after premiering at the Alexander McQueen runway show during Paris Fashion Week.
Now, some of us naysaying old farts will scoff at the sugary synth sounds and the insultingly simple chord progressions of Gaga’s music, but her popularity on the Twitter airwaves is a testament to the eCrack epidemic as a whole. For today’s fast-paced, constantly updated media peruser, the intricate charm of bop jazz or the long phrased mathematics of prog rock just won’t do. If you’re talking song, cut to the chase and give me the chorus quick. In fact, just extend the chorus and make it into the whole song. Throw some lyrics in there, and bam. Realtime sensation.
