LadyAlwaysWrong claims Gaga had no impact

I can't 
There are university courses and books written on how she made fandom names a trend and how she shaped the pop landscape in the late 2000s and early 2010s. Dance pop on US radio, every fanbase in pop having a name or every female wearing weird outfits circa 2010
What a moron

If you know she made impact why does it bother you so much that he thinks she didn't? Shouldn't you feel secure in her status?

Fandom names existed long before but only like 5 percent of pop acts had them, especially among females. Then after Gaga's Little Monsters EVERYONE had them. 90 percent of the ones listed had fandom names after Gaga. Like seriously. There are pop acts that were relevant and on top before Gaga that didn't have any fandom names until post-The Fame
You're not winning this one. Gaga didn't invent fandom names but she made them a trend. Everyone knows that.
