regarding "In Popular Culture" section in the Doom entry

A reference to such an underground extreme-metal/punk band seems particularly out of place in a mainstream pop music video.

Doom is relatively well known outside the underground crust/hardcore/punk comunity. If a reference is to be made to the scene, Doom seems a rather obvious choice.

Whether Lady Gaga is a genuine fan of Doom or if the jacket was pre-made is unclear at the moment.

The "sacrosant" status given to the band (and to underground bands in general) in my experience comes mostly from those not familiar with what lies further beneath the surface of the scene; it is therefore highly based on perspective, level of experience and personal point of view. IMHO applying a judgement regarding wether or not one is "a genuine fan" dos not apply to this article. Let alone the fact that tye concept of "genuine fan" is highly relative.

However, the director of the music video, Jonas Akerlund, is former member of the Swedish metal band Bathory and could very well be the reason for the jacket's appearance in the video.

Not of much relevance either. Doom is a quite an obvious choice if one intends to refer to the late 80's scene. One does not need to have been previously involved with metal/hardcore/punk in order to be the one who came up with the idea. It could have been pretty much anyone slightly curious about the previously mentioned scene.

I have no suggestions at the moment. Did not edit anything wither. I just wanted to suggest a discussion on this particular section of the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.13.190.254 (talk) 01:32, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
