In recent years there’s been a debate of how the new generation doesn't care about pretty much anything since we have technology at our tip of
our hands making us not to question anything; because it is believed that
whatever there is on the net then it must be true. But does it really make us
that naïve? Even up to the point of not identify or value sexuality. Apparently
Camille Paglia believes it does on her article of “Lady Gaga and the Death of
Sex” stating generation Gaga is “marooned in a global technocracy of fancy
gadgets but emotional poverty,” who doesn't distinguish powerful vocal styles
because our own voices have been atrophied by using text messaging where we don’t
get to interact with others and see for ourselves how awkward a person can be in
their body language in daily interactions. Borderlines blurred even more up to
the point where “gender is now alleged to be fabricated rather than biological,”
all because we seem to embrace poses like “hooking up,” and how Gaga is our
role model.
Camille Paglia goes to further extend on how Gaga is the
cause of how sex is being “bane” from our technological generation by giving
different example of artist Gaga looks up to or she’s being influence by, one
of the examples is Madonna. I don’t personally follow neither of them both, but
I don’t necessarily live under a rock, I do know that at their own time period
they were and is a major influence on our culture, making them role models to look up to and follow. For me both artist have their pros and cons, but the way Paglia attacks Gaga is a bit too excruciating and bias, because it is clear that she does not like Gaga even a tiny bit and uses her as an example of how incredulous we've become that we just accept someone with not a clue what values and morals are, and with technology washing our brains even more to just accept such concepts.
