But it's ok, that means you have at least one thing in common with Gaga!

You don't remember "ARTPOP" at all.

There was a lot going on in pop culture in 2013 and 2014, and maybe "ARTPOP" didn't make it to your core memories.

Your only memories of "ARTPOP" were "Applause" and it being called "ArtFlop."

You probably continued to play "Born This Way" in secret. Maybe time to give "ARTPOP" another chance!

You remember "ARTPOP" but weren't the biggest fan.

And honestly, I don't blame you. Time to enter the "ARTPOP" rabbit hole!

You were an "ARTPOP" stan back in the day, but may have chosen to blur some of it out.

You totally deserve to live for the applause (and a medal of honor because it was tough being a stan during that era).

You were an "ARTPOP" stan back in the day.
