There are Lady Gaga dress up games etc.
She gets played at the school disco.
That poor young fan who had that sad fatal accident at home, I think she was about 10 - which I thought was a typical age of the kids who play and dance to her tunes....she seems popular with my nieces.

I think it is aimed at children because of the type of music it is. It is synthesized pop music, and very similar, some songs almost identical to, the Europop genre. The main audience for that kind of music has always been children. Reviews of her shows in Australia have commented on the high numbers of children in the audience.

im not sure youve understood what I asked.
i asked how Lady Gaga was aimed at children, meaning how she aims herself, and how her record company aim her at children.
you have just told me what other people have done with her music/image, outside companies not affiliated with her freating dress up games, and DJ's playing her at school discos's.
parents letting their children play her music and watch her videos.
europop isnt just for children, just because it is the kind of music genre that is easily adapted into cr*p kids singalongs and cheesy earovision style pop.
and synthesised pop i would argue has a larger older clubbing fanbase, and more fans who actually buy/listen to the music of their own accord.
just because she makes a certain genre of music doesnt mean she's making it for a specific audience.
J.K.Rowling originally wrote Harry Potter children, but her audience includes children and adults.
again, i ask, who can show me one way in which lady gaga herself and her record/publicity company market her at children?
so many people complain that children are exposed to sexualised lyrics and videos.
it is the parents choice that these children are exposed.
sexualised videos/lyrics are not AIMED at children, they are aimed at people who choose to buy/watch/listen to the music, which does not include children, as it is up to the parents what their children consume from the media.
why criticise these artists when they do not intend for your children to see sexually explicit stuff? it is you that eposes it to them! it is you that lets them watch it! it is schools for playing it at school discos! it is radio/tv stations playing it during the daytime! the artists themselves do not writhe about or wear explicit costumes to please your kids!
if Rihanna's 'Rude Boy' song, for example, was aimed at kids...well, it wouldnt exist.
