Mainly, it snipes at the 80’s sound embodied in “Born This Way”, along with this song. Gaga and her Little Monsters don’t care.
It also refers to the now-common breed of hipster that came out of Brooklyn’s Williamsburg. Generalized as being obsessed over old things, books, and music, many are just normal people who enjoy what they enjoy. Gaga falls into the latter category, more concerned with finding what she wants than adhering to a random person’s thoughts.

Good old erythropoietin, one of the first real non-steroid manipulators of muscle. How does it work? Your body already produces the hormone, but in extra doses, EPO increases your red blood cell count. As you may recall from biology, red blood cells carry oxygen to your muscles. When your muscles have more air, they grow faster and stronger. That makes EPO great for a range of diseases, but also for sports doping. It has been already categorically banned from use by most professional sports leagues.
"We have to put you in a brace. You have to be non-weight-bearing for a time," he says. "The muscle will atrophy. And in a lot of cases as hard as we try, the muscle mass never comes back." NPR – The New Era of Performance Enhancing Drugs

Since the body naturally produces myostatin to inhibit out-of-control muscle growth, it is very difficult for the body to regrown new muscle. This is particularly bad for those who tear muscles, since the body will actively work to prevent new growth. The only current solution is a long process of movement restriction, braces, and bed rest, causing more problems than it solves.
What’s worse? All of that time spend off of your knee or other muscle group causes the muscle to atrophy, dying and losing range of motion.

Sweeney’s research actually parallels Se-Jin Lee’s, with both focusing on cell movement and muscle growth. The idea of pessimism is misplaced in the article – Sweeney still conducted the research.

The secured facility is filled with rows of plastic cages containing some very muscular mice. "They look bulked up," he says, and they are. Lee gestures toward the cages on one shelf. "Those mice," he says, "have about twice the muscle mass of normal mice." NPR – The New Era of Performance Enhancing Drugs

You did not mishear that – she literally held a village and house as part of her marriage dowry. In pre-revolution Russia, serfdom was the dominant land holding system. Like slavery, but less direct, a person could own an infinite number of serfs, low class peasants tasked with maintaining fields and the house. The bride’s family was rich enough to afford multiple villages of peasants, easily more than 1000 “souls,” as Gogol would later quip. As a prize of sorts for marriage, these were offered, a sure source of lifelong income.
