white gold

I am not a teenager myself anymore.
 
Good, if she offended racists and xenophobes

I personally love astrology & tarot type stuff so I'm 100% here for this

Y'all are crazy. Beyonce is continually the queen of the charts and views despite her very political music, and Ariana still dominates the charts after her "I hate america" donut thing. Seriously I promise you Trump supporters aren't Lana's base lmao 4 real

my parents actually like her, especially my dad, he loves honeymoon and love a lot, as for mom, she loves her unreleased songs and btd

Okay so I just wanted to share a random thought I had today and pose a question to y'all. 
 
I was reading this interview for the first time today and she directly compared UV's sound to The Eagles. My mom used to always play The Eagles in the car while growing up. Now when I visit home she always plays that satellite radio station "70's on 7" since that was the era she grew up in, and occasionally they play stuff like Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Fleetwood Mac, etc. and it got me thinking. I already kind of thought this but never really shared it with anyone, but UV probably had me hooked because I was raised around that type of music and it's kind of familiar to me (though I definitely wasn't exposed to psychedelic type rock as a kid lol )
 
I have 3 older sisters who drove me around a lot when I was younger, and they played a lot of Tori Amos, Bob Dylan, Radiohead, Joni Mitchell, etc. They're particularly obsessed with Bob Dylan. I remember they would always tan in the backyard while listening to the Beatles too lol. Lana actually reminds me of my older sisters tbh, which is probably why I’m so obsessed with her (a lot of my siblings and I moved away from each other around the time BTD and UV came out, and I kind miss them a lot sometimes). Also the youngest one got into a lot of rap music when she was in high school (she smoked a lot of pot lmao) but my older sisters were not those kind of girlies.    Anyways, what I’m trying to say is that Lana’s music seems kind of like a natural midpoint of all these different artists. I mean, she’s an individual and isn’t exactly like any one of these artists, but it’s really cool how she pulls a lot from these genres I was exposed to as a kid. I’m really thankful to have her as an artist in this day and age, because there’s absolutely no one like her in this kind of space. The nostalgic feeling she evokes for me is really unique, which is why I always get super duper excited for her releases.    I haven’t introduced her to any of my siblings or my mom. I remember playing “Blue Jeans” in the car while my mom was teaching me how to drive but she was too busy teaching me how to drive to comment on the music I was playing lmao. I'm honestly not sure how they would react, and I barely have an idea of what they listen to nowadays. There’s no natural way to bring her up at our family holidays tbh, but I would say she was my favorite artist if they ever asked me.    Anyways, sharing the musical interests of my family was basically a roundabout way of asking y’all: Does your family like Lana? Do they have an opinions on her? Do they know who she is? Do you think any of the music your parents/siblings like passed onto you? Any of it related to Lana?  
Honestly I've thought about bringing her up (when the opportunity presents itself--I don't want to be an annoying campaigning stan), but I know I would be so triggered if they trashed her or had some pre-conceived negative opinion on her.
 
my dad hardcore stans Jimmy Buffett and didn't interact with me that much as a kid so there's that too 

I actually turned my mom into a stan My mom and I always share whatever music we're into with each other, so she's heard a good mix of all of Lana's music from me, and ended up liking it-- now, she watches the entire "Ride" video every morning ("Luke, I feel like she's talking about me!!!") and sings Lizzy-era stuff all the time (PMIAM gets stuck in her head a lot, and I'll hear her singing it while she cleans-- I never expect to hear "you can be my daddy" come from my mother's lips, but what can u do). Besides "Ride", her other favorite track is "Kill Kill". And, I've told her enough useless Lana trivia that she knows it by heart now-- the other day, I was playing "Yayo", and she says, "Hey, wasn't that in the Keds ad Lana did?" and I cried a little bit inside because I stan that obsessively and she knows it
 
My dad knows she exists, but that's about it-- and my brother doesn't really care for her music, aside from Y&B and the SS remix  
 
As for what music I grew up listening to, my mom listened to a bit of everything-- but it may have been some of the 50s/60s pop she listened to (The Shirelles, Elvis, The Beach Boys, etc.) that really turned me on to Lana's vintage/retro vibes.

My mom knows I love Lana. She knows all the words to Blue Jeans because I always play it in the car lol.

I agree and disagree.
 
An unironic vintage Americana album would be tasteless in the face of Trump. However, if she's clever enough lyrically, she could subvert the Americana and make it a critique of Trump. Something in the vein of National Anthem could work (I always understood that song as a derision of Americanism).

Listened to Cola randomly today. The lyric "I fall asleep in an American flag" stuck out more than usual tbh. BTDP was a really American era in general (that one line in the Ride outro that's about believing in the country America used to be or something) If she's going more "socially-aware" on this album, do you think she'll directly mention America? In a critical fashion? I personally hope not bc mentioning America in any context might lose her some fans. I hope it's "global" like she says it is. I think she finished making the album before Election Day, so there might be some cringeworthy America-glorifying lyrics on it again...

they're still adorable tho

Love is basic (from an artistic perspective, imo) but that's also why it's the perfect lead single. It has a clean production, relatable lyrics, and a familiar sound. It's accessible and will likely net her some commercial success. WC was my fav lead single but that's just me--and I think it's healthy to acknowledge that your fav lead single might not always be the "best" lead single for an artist. Sometimes yall demanding af

Honestly I personally get annoyed when people around me sing along really loud at shows I go too--but I understand that an artist probably wants a "good crowd". Regardless, Lana knows by now to know what she's getting herself into when she books certain gigs: she expects rowdy American audiences and less rowdy European audiences. Both are fine and she probably enjoys at performing at a variety of venues with different types of crowds. We all know how nervous she can get, but on the flipside, we've all seen her drop it low when the crowd loses it As much as we joke that she probably hates performing and hates promo in general, she's at artist and the end of the day and loves most (if not all) her performances regardless. and i want her to promo the shit out of this era please mom do it for the coins

i will literally roll over and die of happiness the day she performs PWYC live

If she does cover that song, I hope she brings the same energy to it that Nina did. I would definitely want some BTD era vocals on that track.
