They have the same faults:
1) Writing insanely repetitive songs built on a very limited melody count.
2) nonsensical lyrics repeating ad naseum. Sometimes repeating the same sentence for 9 and a half hours.
3) Having limited creative spans, and exhausting their entire repertoire within one, or two albums. Chanced out with a freak hit album, and didn't really feel capable of capitalise off it as growing songwriters.
4) Using bold, offensive, colorful imagery to promote music which is structurally safe conservative pop.
5) Both utilise the illusion of rebellion to empower a system which is attempting to corpotize, market, and mass produce it.
Quit with this rockin' rocker nonsense. Gaga is pop, Cobain is pop. Both write shallow, catchy, hook laden songs that aim at instant accessibility over true depth. I like SOME Nirvana a little, but can easily admit that Cobain is massively overrated, and can see through the fact that the only reason you're choosing to bash Gaga is to maintain a macho rock fan aesthetic.
