Lady Gaga is Really into Crust Punk, DOOM and G.I.S.M.

Categories: Music
In her latest music video, Lady Gaga is hanging out with the gals in prison, up to no good and, as we find out, waiting for a call from Beyonce.

What's gotten some attention from those who enjoy both Gaga's varied pop sounds and filthy, lo-fi, punk guitar, is her attire in the video.
 


Here are a few stills from the video:

More photos, and a possible explanation for her jacket, after the jump...

Before coming to fame as a music video director, director Jonas Åkerlund played in Swedish heavy metal band Bathory in 1983 and 1984.

When the call comes, she walks over to the pay phone -- and what's revealed? Her admiration for crust punk. Namely, the UK's DOOM and Japan's legendary G.I.S.M.

You might have read that Lady Gaga is returning to St. Louis this summer, after her sell-out show here in January. Maybe she'll don the jacket then.

As a bonus, here's the original G.I.S.M. logo, as well as a Gaga rip-off we found online:

And here's a DOOM EP, Police Bastard, and its Gaga rip-off (also found online):

Still, there's more: Check out pop singer Ke$ha donning a Void shirt and actress Kristen Stewart in a Minor Threat tee. It's enough to fill punks with indignation, or secret glee.

Pop singer Ke$ha isn't the hand of their tools, she's going to live by her rules.
If you're looking for this Void shirt, one place to find it is Obesity and Speed, a "New York based designer of edgy men's and women's streetwear." For the sum $75, you can own this shirt that uses the iconic Void crosses as its main style-point.

But punk prices? Certainly not. There's another online outlet that sells them for the price of just $13.
