I guess its a cool concept, but I don't think I can handle any more thinkpieces on Lana.

thanks for posting this! i feel sometimes i am too critical a fan, and being trapped in the bubble that is lanaboards, i really easily lose of what an anomaly she actually is in the pop world and the unique talent and devotion to her artistry she truly possesses... i'm just too busy ragging on her for all the dumb shit that she says. and monicker was right about the discourse being great between the more dismissive/skeptical person and the supportive person. that was neato, i think i needed to hear these perspectives to remind me why it is i'm still a fan two things i especially liked 1) the synthesizer is a homage to dre! 2) there was this line was something like "lana's just not very good at explaining herself", which i think accounts for 95% of the things i give her shit for here is the obligatory bear gif!

Cassie's sophomore album

I knew Lana not thanking Barrie would turn out like Hilary not thanking Chad!

I agree with what you said :3 I would like to welcome you to the community, mostly because a) You like bear things and b) you have an animal as your avi!! We need more cool people around LB (I have a goal of one day making everyone have animal avis and it has yet to be materialized)

I was responding to the many people i have seen on this forum who think that lana's sole motivation is to materialize her inner world and pointing out a different facet. yes, she has the very human desire of being respected and admired and there are many dynamic motivations and desires at play. and yeah, these are all very human things, although ultimately, i prefer bear things

It's not, but I was trying to clarify that I thought that Lana has both an artistic desire and the desire to be respected/admired as an artist, and the latter largely influences her career decisions

It's amazing that I have the opportunity to post this because I legit sang this song into a fan today

my thoughts are a bit of a jumbled mess, so bear with me i get what you mean, but I don't necessarily agree with you. i think she's passionate about her music, but i think she's equally passionate about fame and the prospect of being revered/respected as an artist. i think lana LOVES fame. fame is the huge part of the drive that propels lana to do what she does. she lives and thrives for attention, for admiration. what she doesn't like is the negative aspects of fame: the criticism (deserved or undeserved), being subject to slander and lies, scrutiny, etc. she's not like (for lack of a better example), kurt, who probably could've lived in solitude, who felt he didn't deserve the admiration of his fans... i think she's very success-orientated: perhaps not in the traditional sense of pushing records, selling units and climbing the charts, but in the sense of one day becoming revered, being liked and respected. ( and i don't think it was a coincidence that all of her idols are all these revered, iconic talents, that attained levels of god-like fame and admiration, with fans and/or critics... (on another note, i find this new found interest in other grunge talents, like her spotify playlist or whatever, to be really disingenuous.... she's never mentioned being strongly influenced by those artists before....) i also don't think it was a coincidence that lana decided to collaborate with a grammy-nominated artist who had gotten a great reception from the critics for his work. i think she was chasing the critics, tbh. my point is that i just don't think that there's this ~pure~ desire to create music and art (gurl was clearly pressed that she wasn't achieving any fame back when gaga was, and there wasn't nothing wrong with that). the real reason why lana's not going to quit is because she's just too hungry for fame and respect. She intentionally seeks out controversy, she's deliberately provocative and subversive. these are intentional acts, and i'm not convinced she does them ~purely for the art~. ha, she would never be able to give up all this to go back to making music on her laptop for herself

Honestly, I think the blame lies with Lana's managers for failing to get her some media training...

This thread is to discuss ALREADY PUBLISHED REVIEWS, not reviewers. If I see so much as a link to a reviewer's personal twitter, I will delete this thread again so fast your head will spin.

I think as a general rule, people should be able to identify however they see fit. Perceptual regions are funny that way

Guys, we have to determine approximately how many of these 212 songs we have

Pre Born to Die, a part of the original SIN crew holla @@Trash Magic @@evilentity

Okay, I'll ban you, scumbag.

Whatever, the premise for the song just sounds as petty as fuck, just like So Legit. Hopefully she's exaggerating the content of the song and its limited to a single verse or something. And I honestly wouldn't put it past Lana to make a diss track about a 17 year old Lorde. Lana can be like petulant child sometimes, she just gets so butthurt.

I know that, but it's still my favourite Lana song....

This might just be my favourite Lana song, ever.

For the love of God and for the sake of this forum, Lana needs to stop being asked questions about feminism.

i particularly like the line "you should never come between a woman and her dreams, and a man who never knew his place"....
