Kurac na Biciklu

Well, I haven't read all the drama but I find all the 3 parts of the video, especially Bartender, extremelly embarrassing. Like, real white girl trash.

Ik, I'm normally kind of w/e about it but it bums me out. Those of us who don't praise her laziness get told we want her to be the BTD gangster nancy cigarette tropico queen, as though honeymoon wasn't objectively beautiful, in terms of music and aesthetics :/ Like she's reading her own damn song lyrics from a phone in her own concert... she's stopping concerts to look for her f-cking vape... and I'm supposed to be charmed? Or find her relatable? Like fair enough if it's not right for me to expect more in terms of song lyrics, production, etc. but it's so incredibly disingenuous when people try to say that she's not lazy or entitled at all lmao. She's got all the time in the world to relearn lyrics she wrote, or make a video that makes sense lmao like... not impressed. And then she has the audacity to tweet the water clip from the end of freak and say she wishes she still made beautiful art for the sake of it. Who tf is stopping her.

imagine being rich and famous to the point that all you have to do for "work" is create beautiful art - and being too lazy to even do that.  honestly id rather her just not do anything or keep it to herself.  bc it feels like a slap in the face to everyone who actually works hard doing shit they dont wanna do just to survive, who dont even have the time theyd like to devote to their art, but keep trying anyway.  she's like "ha ha yeah i made it, im rich and famous, i can just do nothing but barely observe ab how the world (cough, not really the world, just LA) is burning but still not do anything about it".. then has the gall to act like shes doing a lot of good for the world or something
 

idk, it's not as much ab what her aesthetic is as much as it is ab how it's executed.  Lana has always mixed styles that dont necessarily go together, but it worked a lot better in the past.
 
BTD: Old Hollywood glamour / hip hop tinges / 4th of July
Paradise: sepia western / road trip realness / California palm trees
UV: lost in suburbia / sad acid trip / old money Florida
HM: European vacation / cult vibes / 20s jazz
LFL: flower power / space explorers / techno-apocalypse / ruined peaches & black beaches
 
NFR is serving surfing & boats / piano balladry / Laurel Canyon teas / Walmart witchcraft / comic book style / neon green vibes / being too rich for the cops to apprehend you / wasting perfectly good sandwiches and slurpees
 
even LFL had a more beautiful style than NFR in my opinion.  I for one appreciated the 60s flower child vibe juxtaposed against space and technology even if i didn't really get the Hollywood sign thing.  it's not ab Old Hollywood, it's ab beautiful and meaningful style.  NFR is just kinda bland

I really don't have to be grateful for this lmao
 
One of the top comments on the video is trying to make out like the people who find it dull are locals who only know summertime sadness, as if one of her most famous mvs isn't mentioned in every goddamn interview and article, and isn't also homemade. The difference between... this... and video games (and her lizzy vids for that matter) is the footage for vg fits the music, both in terms of timing, theme, and emotion. This doesn't at all. Watch the kill kill video and then watch the bartender segment. This is legit so lazy, and is2g this is the only big fanbase for a musician in which we're grateful for the absolute stalest crumbs and you're told you're not a "real fan" if you expect a drop of effort to be put into things like music vids lmao.

Without any attempt for drama or talking abput priviledge: the video is terrible. Especially the Bartendes segment. Back in the day, her homemade vids were moody and fit the atmosphere of the song they belonged to.
This is just random footage of a grown woman behaving like a rich 16 year old schoolgurl who thinks she's cRaZy N cUtE overlapping a beautiful, emotional and atmospheric piano ballad. It's extremely BAD from any artistic point of view since the incoherence doesn't even seem like an active decision. There is nothing "to get" here, no matter how hard self-proclaimed dyhard stans pretend.
 
I consider NFR an excellent album but it's sad to see how much her quality as a visual artist with a feeling for the right mood has decayed since the Honeymoon era.

Ultraviolence is the perfect example of a low budget home-made music video.... this....is...not.... 

G78gs?

Literally everything about this music video is pointless by now. NFR footage? Most of it teased ages ago and not much new to see here other than laying on a hammock awkwardly. Bartender footage? Entire thing was shown OVER A YEAR AGO disguised as MAC and VB, only difference was they added some audio and cops. Happiness is a butterfly footage? Again, we've seen the entire thing on her instagram before    Just because you add all of these things into a 14 minute video doesnt make anything different She should've just released this back during the album rollout because u are lying to yourself if you say that you genuinly enjoyed this, well its cute but are many people actually gonna watch this again even IF u enjoyed it?
