No. She just won a Golden Globe for American Horror Story, so she's still going good and has probably expanded her audience with the Tony Bennet crossover stuff.

The Tribe,at least in the states. The fandom was big enough that for at least 4 years a bunch of the cast would cover over for Dragoncon each year. But after it failing in syndication. Then Shout Factory releasing season 1 on DVD and that failing the fanbase is gone.

While his show is still popular, the rabid following Conan O'Brien had has definitely toned down. Yeah, I honestly keep forgetting his show on TBS is still a thing.

G.I. Joe fandom seems to still be around, but dying a slow death. GI Joe fandom was alive and very well in the '80s and into the '90s. When A Real American Hero ended, it died off a lot but still exists on the toy collector level. The comics came back and were fine for a while, still being published but the numbers are low and alive basically to keep the name out there. Transformers died off a lot after the Movie in '86 but the toys kept coming for 5 years or so, and the comics went a while too. It flatlined for almost 10 years (at least in the States - I believe it still did very well in Japan for quite a while) but boy, it came back (thanks to those Dreamwave comics, maybe more so than Beast Wars) and became something fierce huh? Yeah, when it comes to Joe I mean even the collector market seems to be not what it once was. As for Transformers, it never went away like some people think it did. The only year in the United States since 1984 that there were no new Transformers toys on shelves was 1992, and even then Europe and Japan were still getting stuff. The original line ran from 1984-1991, then Generation 2 was from 1993-1995, Then Beast Wars came out in 1996, and the nostalgia for the original started while Beast Wars was still going on.

I witnessed the almost-death of the Mass Effect fandom. Before ME3 came out, fans were largely optimistic and had lofty expectations since there was near-unanimous agreement that ME2 was an excellent game.
Then Mass Effect 3 was released. THEN people saw the endings. Bioware threw the fanbase a lot of olive branches but even the Extended Cut didn't fix the endings and the fan rage calcified into cynicism. Now, Andromeda is generating a lot of buzz, but not as much as it should be generating, and the wistful hopes to bring back Shepard hang over Bioware's own forum like a listless ghost. The fanbase isn't the same and won't be the same, at least, not until they change course and I honestly think Bioware would rather get shut down by EA than make another Shepard game.
There's still plenty of fans, sure, but the raw enthusiasm and energy are mostly gone.

The funny thing is, I like her more because she's not insanely popular. Before it was annoying, but I am coming to appreciate her talents when she doesn't try so hard.

It was resurrected in a much smaller scale with AHS, but it did surely die around the time of Artpop. It Wile E. Coyoted off a cliff. Don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed her music and nothing against her at all. I was just really surprised at how quickly the tide of public opinion turned against her. Not to hatred but to total apathy.

Cheek To Cheek debuted at #1, was certified Gold and won a Grammy. That's not on the world-beating level of Fame Monster, but hardly public apathy. I think she realizes Fame Monster's success was a once-in-a-lifetime thing. Meanwhile, you have Miley Cyrus who IMO feels like she's trying to emulate old school Gaga too hard, the whole "pay attention to me I'm so outrageous" gimmick. Gaga is smart not to try to compete with her and just do her own thing, she comes off more confident.

It helps that she is down to earth off-stage, ironically enough. What other modern-day superstars are so fan friendly?

Jackie Chan Adventures maybe? Had a vocal fanbase when it was on (that was obsessed with Jade and pairing her with some of the demons), but the lack of a DVD presence pretty much killed it afterwards.

The Gaga fanbase is still alive and as rabid as ever while we prepare for LG5.
The My Chemical Romance fandom died when they split up. Same with Panic! At The Disco; now its more fandoms for individual members.

Beyblade. I had all the stuff from all 3 original seasons, but by the time the Metal line from G Revolution came out, I was the only one who cared.
Now I think the newer seasons are basically on cult fandom level.

However, she's certainly nowhere near the level of before. Artpop was pretty much a footnote when it came out compared to the "Gaga f***ing every where" period from Fame to Born This Way. I don't think that tweet saying that she's straight exactly made her fandom grow...

I don't think that tweet saying that she's straight exactly made her fandom grow... Ugh, that made any discussion around her really toxic for a while. Repeated fervent and candid discussion of her bisexuality and how it's influenced her personality and music, and people still doubt it, but one badly worded tweet, and it was treated as the end of the discussion, because anyone who claims to be bisexual must just be evil fakers out to exploit the real LG BT community.
