It is very important to realize why Lady Gaga is not only popular but also very relevant today. She was born in a very affluent family and led a very financially comfortable life, but she had to deal with a bullying, depression and insecurity for a very long time. She also struggled to establish herself as an artist. Gaga was rejected by society for her eccentric mannerisms, different thought process and versatile style. Gaga was unique and rebellious, a very important precursor to establish counter cultures and the lack of acceptance only helped to establish her brand of music as counter culture. This can be understood by observing the effect she had on the genre of music she pursued. So there's nothing more provocative than taking a genre that everybody who's cool hates - and then making it cool.(Gaga).
"Dance pop" and " electropop" are subcultures of music. Both these genres use Strong electronic beats as well as the use of instruments to create a rhythm of music which encourages people to dance and let themselves go. Dance pop was not a popular genre of music for a very long time because of its lack of lyrical appeal, dance pop artists had to rely on live performances to gain popularity. David Guetta, Zedd, Steve Aoki, Dimitri Viegas and many other DJs create "electro Pop" in the form of remix versions and collaboration with other artists and play this music at concerts and clubs. "Dance Pop" is also a genre which can be seen in the performances of Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus, Jennifer Lopez, Madonna etc. These artist fulfill all the conditions to categorise themselves as pop musicians/artists. These artists use their music and performance as pure entertainment for the public because that is the intent of a genre like "electro pop" people remember them as great performers who specialise in the genre of dance pop or electro pop. These artists are typical conformists.
