It's disgusting. Still mad that I wasted money on this stupid shit that tastes like clay mod note: user was warned for this post

Was that the plan all along? I really do wonder. Did she spend the last 7 years patiently waiting for the moment she wouldn't have to brush her hair again, make another music video or sing a song that isn't Video Games? I wonder what happened to the girl who'd go and get her nails done all fancy even when she was broke. I wonder if anything about her was ever real, even back in 2007. She has been fucking with them "industry players" for a long time, probably as early as 2003. Maybe the plan was for her to blow up much earlier than she did, and that's why she started trying to be Marilyn all those years ago. God, it would really be hilarious if she's been this basic ass saddie deep down all along, and we all fell for an aesthetic that was practically forced on her

i can see benito doing it, but lazy del rey? nah

I'm definitely using one of his pics as the NFR cover, I honestly can't imagine anyone better for what this era could have been

and of course its sarah lmao even chuck posted about it! mod note: user was warned for this post

sleep paralysis but it's lana hooked on a matcha tea IV whispering "coming soon" in a loop

more like Valium Bent Backwards Over The Grass but wtv

Two more snippets and I still don't like it. Sadly this isn't anything like Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood (as much as I love the original, I actually like Lana's cover even more tbh) or Summer Wine (same, Barry sounded amazing too).

It's so cute

The painful truth

Words out of my mouth. I know I'm probably being mean, but as someone who has struggled with manic depression my whole life (ty childhood trauma! ^_^), and also has to live with major anxiety, bpd, ptsd (ty men I trusted not to hurt me! ^_^), and several serious physical health problems, I simply don't have limitless patience for her shit. I can't empathize without criticizing; if I hold myself accountable for the stupid things I do, why shouldn't I hold you too? And I'm a thousand times harder on myself than I am on anyone else. Nobody ever grew by being allowed to get away with everything. Even those of us with mental health issues. We all need to understand that actions have consequences. I think the main problem here is her immaturity, irresponsibility and lack of self-awareness. I feel for her, like I always have, but I don't have the patience to make excuse after excuse for her and her behavior.

we STAN an esfp kween As an infj, I get the whole "chameleon" thing. I get doing it; what I don't like is letting it take over. When I need to act a certain way, either around family or at work/school, I will. Sometimes we need to be civil and/or professional when we'd rather not, it's just a part of life. And, as cringy as it sounds, I too contain multitudes I'm all over the place! I've alwys been several people, at the same time. And all of it was & is genuine. When I'm with my 40-90 year old academic friends, I don't start rambling about highlighters and eyeliner techniques for hooded eyes. When I'm with my mua & model friends, I don't try to force them into conversations about fascist architecture, direct democracy or why Dali was trash. I don't see it as being fake, deceitful or two-faced. There's a time and place for everything. Different people and different crowds can bring out different sides of your personality. But when you find a person or a group of people that you want in your life, and decide you're willing to become anyone & anything you need to be to appeal to them, that's a problem. It's a problem when you want people to like you so badly that you morph into something that will be easier for them to like than your real self. When you edit & censor yourself not just for coworkers, neighbors, acquaintances and family members you wish deep down you weren't related to, but for close friends and romantic partners too. That's tragic. You can't still be putting up a front behind closed doors. Around people who are supposed to be your inner circle. I could be 100% wrong here, and I hope I'm wrong, but I've always got the impression that this is Lana's go-to m.o. tl;dr = I like you a lot / So I do what you want

It's great to see an artist you love evolve, and tragic to see them devolve. That's very true. I've dismissed so many songs (some of which I now love) without even giving them a listen because I read the lyrics first and didn't like them. I used to always do that when I was younger, which is why it took me years to give more than half of Lana's released & unreleased discography a chance. I remember checking out songs like Jimmy Gnecco, Wayamaya, Dance For Money, Summer of Sam, etc and being like "trash, trash, even trashier trash, a whole damn pile of trash" lmao She has many good songs with weak or even really bad lyrics, but overall, I've always thought of her as an amazing songwriter/poet -up until she decided to become an "actual" poet. It seems that all her talent disappeared and it makes no sense. She either got a bit more help than we thought from other people with the songs she's made so far, or this is the kind of content and quality we'll be getting from now on (which is why I'm dreading LDR7). Regarding the songs we've heard so far from NFR (in full), the only awful one is VB. I would have definitely liked MAC, HTD and of course Hope if she had posted them as poems.

NO

$10 it's the horrific Venice Bitch edit

I wasn't impressed as much as I was inspired. She made me think of what was and hope for what could be. She felt so new, but so familiar too. She was exciting and comforting at the same time. I got into her music during a very difficult time in my life. Not that it's ever been easy, but as bad as things were, they were still too good. And so I started losing it all, one by one. Lana's music (supposed?) journey, and also her being older than me, gave me hope that I could one day bounce back. I never saw her as a role model (lol) but she's been #goals for years, if that makes sense. Yeah it really makes me sick seeing certain people glorified by fans and even the media.... Called sweethearts, angels, saints, etc and considered sensitive & kind. And I wish I could tell them that the man of their dreams would give them nightmares. That he was crueler than they could ever imagine. That he was capable of things they wouldn't handle knowing about. But there's no point. Anyway, I actually really loved the LFL aesthetic, or should I say aesthetics? She was all over the place lol. I loved the witchy theme, the hippie theme, and even the more casual/hip hop/whatever summer bummer theme. I wish this era's visuals were half as good. Nothing we've had so far could compare to the Love video, and even the LFL cover was better than MAC's, VB's and Hope's.

Same. We know she has a basic side to her and a cHaMeLeOn sOuL; she definitely strikes me as someone who goes with the flow and shows the side of herself she believes will appeal to whoever she's with (which I don't see as a bad thing tbh, I totally get it). I doubt she acts the same around them as she did/does around Marilyn Manson, James Franco, The Weeknd, Florence Welch or Cat Power. These girls might have never cared for her music or her as a celebrity; they clearly think it's cool they're friends with someone famous but they might not care that much. On the other hand, I often get this feeling from them like they're itching to make it into the biography/documentary

so LanaBoards Headquarters?

I don't think most people would care. They're super cringy so I'm sure there would be some comments, but we'd have no reason to talk about them this much if we had other, more substantial things to discuss.

ikr? lmao us: lana pls post something lana: here's a pic of some herbs lana: here's a pic with my girlies lana: here's a video with my girlies us: lana pls post something NFR-related lana: here's a 00:02 second snippet us: lana its been 84 years pls post the lead single or any of the songs you've teased lana: here are 12345678 collabs and don't forget to check out my friends new albums uwu!!

Roll With Me

I don't think they feel threatened or anything, they're just a bunch of misogynists who see her as a clueless little girl out to ruin their mAnLy mAn music I understand not liking the cover itself, it didn't sound that promising from the snippet, but the comments about Lana were dumb and wack as fuck. Like, old man yells at cloud much? So embarrassing.

Well, I have come to realize how stupid I was for believing "Lana Del Rey" was anything more than a fictional character, but in my defense, many genuine human beings are seductive that way. I've known people like her, in real life, so it wasn't the hardest thing in the world to believe she truly was like that too. At first I thought she was nothing more than a scam, a project a bunch of label executives put together, but she grew on me in time. I really wish I had never given her a second chance, because I got sucked in a fucking lie lol. I really got played here lmao

lmao the dementia is strong here i see
