So fucking good top to bottom left to right up and down from side to side

Manifesting something as summery chill and full of progressive longing as Wildflower by Beach House

OK... WOW

Wildflower Wildfire= Rock Text Book = Candy Blue Banisters = Sweet

Positive discrimination still exists because patriarchy still exists Men don't have to be actively oppressing women in order for patriarchy to exist, the patriarchal structure is what reproduces the oppression and men passively benefit from it. It's not a villain narrative. Men and women can be agents of patriarchy. And we're all agents /within/ patriarchy. Also I'm dubious of any empirical assessment that says we're post-patriarchy, or post-racism, or post-homophobia, or whatever. Usually people just point to the very shallow instances of legislation that make us feel accomplished, which only leads to neglect of deeper and consistent manifestations of injustice. Sexism isn't solved because women have greater representation in the workplace, or in parliament. But whatever this is lanaboards

Yeah exactly, feminism is about liberation from patriarchy. Patriarchy is the pervasive structure, the object of feminist discourse. "men and women should be equal" is reductive and the only reason it ever gets invoked (including in this thread) is because people want feminism to be palatable by repackaging it into some neoliberal individual responsibility type of idea, totally dodging the idea of dismantling harmful structures. You lot really think feminism is just when men and women get along? And when women are mean to men, they're defeating the feminist mission? Not the girlboss wave of feminism rotting brains That said, marina commodifying feminism is also super lib Also the way Google definitions are being thrown around lol... if only life was so simple.

I am super not bothered with blue banisters. Maybe this is the definitive point of me having moved past Lana, but I'm just not into it. I just hope I can listen to this album and think "Yes, she did it again!" and feel a newness about her music again. I really liked cocc but the short blue banisters snippet was almost exhausting for me to listen to because I was just searching for something /else/. She used to do it all the time. I hate to be that guy, but the first time I heard the WC snippet? I was floored. Every single from UV was an experience upon release. And then HM, LFL, NFR - every release was a high, every teaser promised something thematically different and sonically ~interesting~. Blue banisters is like when I heard that leaked snippet of LMLYLAW - just overdone, stale, did not want to revisit it. And I can't bring myself to get hyped over the potential building atmosphere in the background lollll but I do hold out hope that BB will be cool nonetheless Also those lyrics are kind of horrible but whatever

The name Blue banisters paired with the colour palette of this picture and the 4th of July release date just screams that this album will be pure country Americana lmao... a continuation of cocc but in the BUS direction... the rock album was never happening she's going full Nikki Lane methinks

What is this cover she is going serious lo-fi and hey... I just hope the music is interesting

- me when I have the world's most reductive sense of post-colonial politics and believe that the commonwealth is just one, big, happy family Calling someone a teenage woke ass doesn't mitigate for the fact that you're deepthroating the imperialist boot I also don't want to make jokes about your level of education, but where is the critical thinking lol, it is genuinely pitiful if you think you can simply separate "ancestors" from the modern day monarchy. That you can't seem to reconcile the evil colonisers of yesterday with the Prince Williams of today. Like, it's sort of embarrassing actually

Manifesting "British Royal Family - post release thread" for when this evil institution is finally abolished.

If she's gonna go more earthy/folky/country, I hope she takes a more lively direction. Like Bob Dylan's 'Queen Jane Approximately'. She would absolutely boss that type of full narrative

Cancel culture doesn't exist

Dance til we die

1. Ultraviolence 2. NFR! 3. Paradise 4. AKA 5. Chemtrails 6. Honeymoon 7. Born to Die 8. Lust for Life Norman fucking rockwell and UV are magnificent gauzy summer masterpieces

Is she... ever gonna change her cover arts back?

Tl;dr: "I'm 19 and I'm on fire"

This is her villain arc, one she's been building up to for a long time. Ramble incoming

Poor chemtrails post release thread. You barely had a day in the spotlight. RIP

What if the project she said she was thinking of for a long time, and now wanted to release, is basically The Revenge of Lana Del Rey (which she's been thinking of since before BTD)... she named it RCS, sure, but what if conceptually this is the anger album she's been mulling over since AKA... And finally she knows how she wants to go about it? This is dumb I know but I'm just wondering what may be

The fact that this is her QFTC album... Dealer is likely but this could be a whole lyrical mess... or an angry masterpiece... Marty I'm scared

Oh my god that better not be the album cover...

The revenge of lana Del Rey.

WHAT THE FCMUK

Exactly she needs to make an entire album in this vein
