Lorde and most "alt" female artists, I honestly believe, wouldn't exist or be even nearly as successful if it wasn't for Lana's innovative trail blazing way back in 2011/2012. Think about it. Why has Lana received such a polarizing reaction? Why did she get so much hate and these women to follow have been praised? Because Lana was the martyr. She was the first to do it. She shook the male-dominated alternative genre to its core and brought a new, fresh sound to music, one that melted catchy pop with dark lyrics and dark underlying instrumentals... it's so common now, thanks to Lana, but back in 2011, the idea of a left-of-center female artist having such a strong aesthetic and signature appearance seemed so odd and unfamiliar. Whether these new female artists wanna admit it or not, Lana has, at least subconsciously, influenced hundreds of alt/tumblr/mainly female artists that have followed her. Examples: Lorde, BANKS, FKA twigs, Billie Eilish, Melanie Martinez, Troye Sivan (tbh), Halsey (obviously), Ryn Weaver, Allie X

I love Lorde to the moon in back, I own LordeNews on twitter where she follows me but to say her music isn't more radio friendly than Lana's just isn't true. The structure of her songs, the production, it's all very poppy and geared towards radioplay. MELODRAMA was promoted more as an album release and with fewer singles but Green Light and HD are literally dance numbers that Lana has never done. And Green Light was a moderate radio hit while Royals was #1 on radio for many weeks and Team did well too.

Music To Watch Boys To and Body Electric were added to Lana's setlist. Finally she's mixing it up.

I'm gonna stop everyone right there and just ask that you acknowledge Lana's slayage. She just outsold two big-name male artists and got her second #1 while one of her opponents literally tried cheating his way to the top. How's that for shattering this increasingly male-dominated music chart scene so far this year? Lana not once mentioned wanting to go #1, fuck she didn't even tweet a link for the album download until almost a week after release, she did no promo whatsoever (per usual), had no radio support whatsoever (once again, per usual), she made no TV or radio appearances and she STILL got that #1! The fact that Lana is selling as much in her first week as massive, mainstream, radio-supported artists like Lorde and Katy are is truly something to praise. There is obviously something special about Lana and her music. I can't name any other artist who could get away with doing the bare minimum promotion-wise and still go #1. But it's because she puts in the time in the studio and she works so hard to make music that is so signature to her. She's so consistent in sound, aesthetic, and 2-year releases. I love Lana so much and I just wish her fans and the general public would acknowledge just how well she's doing for such a low-key artist. That's how powerful her music is.

Meek: My fake streams and bots (are ruined) bitch! (are ruined) bitch! (are ruined) fuck!

OUR GIRL WENT #1 WITH THE ALBUM OF THE YEAR, GOOD PREVAILS HOES

Barrie isn't headline worthy, imho lmao, nor has he died (I don't think at least?? ). I'd say Lou Reed, Amy Winehouse, or Kurt Cobain, one of Lana's many inspirations whom lost their precious lives at such a young age because of drugs or suicide.

First Donald Trump became president and now this? If Meek gets that #1, we need to demand justice so BB knows not to count that shit for future releases. It simply isn't ethical or technically correct at all.

I'm confused as to why some people seem so personally attached by the two censored names in Get Free. Lana explained the reasoning behind it and it seems very sweet. Also, I think it adds more character to the song and makes it stand out in its own unique way. Not to mention, it's not even that noticeable because there is still a lot going on around it with the backing vocals and production.

Apple Music has the most inaccurate lyrics out there. Idk who the fuck puts them down, but he or she should be fired.

Yeah, I think this whole pre-chorus makes references to different synonyms for "dancing" and ties it together with youthfulness. When we're young, we're more carefree and we have more hope and dreams for a better future, we aren't cynical and st in or ways. This is like Lana encouraging everyone to return to that young, fresh, and optimistic mindset of a younger person and tapping into that in order to see that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and we will make it through this dark era.

Also, I wouldn't be surprised if one of the names Lana censors in Get Free was Lou Reed (or just Lou). It would make sense with the song and I'm sure one of the names was pretty famous or she wouldn't be so addamant about hiding it.

I want Lana to do a patriotic, feminist-themed video for God Bless America. I think it'd be amazing if, during the first 15 seconds of the song, as the guitar intro plays, Lana is standing in front of the American flag as the camera pans out, just like she does in the BTD video, but this time instead of holding onto a man, she's holding onto a bunch of women, all of different races, religions, appearances, etc. and they're all holding one another in the same embrace Lana and that bad boy is in the BTD video. It would be such a beautiful statement of unity among women and also be a homage to her most iconic video to date, which would be beautiful. Come through Lana?

Lana's "K" response to that greedy extra gay who bought fucking 44 copies of the same album is literally me. "K... cool. You're dumb"

That's why I'm sad, I literally was one of the few to get it in that short span and then make a split second decision to cancel which was dumb and they finally cancel it two weeks later and by now I'm like fuck it, give it to me

I don't think so? Not the autographed edition, unless I'm blind. I hope I'm blind.

I hate myself so much. I ordered the exclusive signed clear Lust For Life vinyl and emailed asking to cancel the order 10 minutes later cuz I was broke but no one replied so I just figured I'd end up still getting it which I ended up being happy about and then I get an email today saying the order has finally been cancelled and I'm having withdrawal symptoms realizing what I just lost. I'm so ungrateful fuck my unappreciative sinful gay ass :defeated:

I just died laughing at Lana's recent insta post wtf is she doing https://instagram.com/p/BXErfBogSRA/

LANA GETTING THAT HIGH CLASS PROMO: #BuyLustForLifeOniTunes https://instagram.com/p/BXErG0nn685/

"Call u tomorrow hoes" you'd better bitch. I'll be waiting. I didn't expose my personal phone number to the world for nothing.

I want a set list of all of Lana's best but also one that features the biggest hits from each record. Intro: Love Lust For Life Born To Die Ultraviolence West Coast White Mustang Summertime Sadness Old Money Money Power Glory Cherry Music To Watch Boys To 13 Beaches God Bless America When The World Was At War We Kept Dancing Shades of Cool Terrence Loves You National Anthem Born To Die The Blackest Day In My Feelings Heroin Change Video Games Encore: Get Free

I expect a 5 minute monologue at both the beginning and end of the video. A 3 minute video simply won't cut it. I need another "Ride".

OMG a video for WHITE MUSTANG is coming and she said tomorrow if you show you purchased LFL and leave your phone number, she'll be calling a couple fans! Not like I stand a chance but I'd fuckinf convulse

The censored parts are names. Confirmed by God herself so I was right and so were most of us
