I wonder if it's because Lana's popularity seems to have dropped a lot? Like her videos be getting really fucking low views. I see terrible youtubers get more views than her damn videos.
 
Her label is probably focusing on younger acts like the Billie kid and w/e so they don't give a shit what Lana does because she doesn't bring in much profit anyway.

Lana's old work is timeless. That's why she gets streamed to death and it's what her past albums deserve. But because it's mostly her past work, it's not really what I'd call a great gauging of current popularity. Album sales matter more and lbr, with LFL, we were all expecting something better than what we got and it shows by how her latest material is being received. People are worried it's gonna be LFL 2.0
 
LFL was her worst album and era and the fact it was so highly praised by critics is disrespectful to her previous albums which were actual masterpieces. One of a kinds and pure Lana.
Not to rant but that critic response her last album got was so shady, praising Lana for writing about topics 'outside herself, like politics', like there's something wrong with selfish art. Felt like a slap in the face to Lana's previous work. Lana's sensitive to criticism. I wouldn't be surprised if this is what caused her lackluster attitude.
 
I'd be unmotivated too if everyone was up my ass only when I wrote about what they thought I should be writing about.
 
Anyway, Lana gets hammered no matter what she does so now she's not doing anything I guess lmao

the sad thing is is that with only a little promo lana can rack in one hell of an audience. now if she did promo like some of these artists out there... our girl would be hot shit again (among the gp i mean. she still is hot with us). but lana doesnt care about any of that so hell what can we do ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

Just got my first warning point because posted about how Madonna is coming for Lana on this thread lmao no regrets tho the grandma will scalp that 35 years old wannabe lolita
 

2012 Lana in her racing jackets and jeans and glamour make-up.
 
2012 Itunes Lana.
 
Anytime Lana has worn jeans, white top and leather jacket.
 
Actually, 2012 Lana made all her bad outfits look good just because she was beautiful enough that you overlooked them.  Her outfits are usually tasteless and terrible IMO.
But you know how it is, the lord giveth and the lord taketh away.

Why do people apologize for critiquing her live shows? If you pay to hear her sing live and she's barely singing, don't you deserve a refund? Or at the very least, the right to complain lmao
 
Hearing how people save up money to see her and then get subpar performances is sad. You paid money to see her, yes you are entitled to a good performance that had effort put into it.
 
Her older performances were really good, where she gets into the song and she's alone on stage. Her vocals were unique, everything was uniquely Lana. From the dropping down low during body electric, the way her hands would move during songs and her hugging her lead guitarist during solos. It's sad to see how 'dead' she's become. I think criticism over time really wore her down. She's also mentioned having health problems.
 
And god, digressing but her performances on that one french show, she looked impossibly beautiful. I'm always sad I got into Lana so late that I completely missed 2012 Lana. OH AND THAT ICONIC LANA AT THE SWEDEN SHOW, where she does The Hairflip during Cola. RIP that Lana.

Someone pointed out it would be impossible for her to have that much debt. Hang on, I got it:
 
"To be fair, she wouldn't have been able to have Credit Card debt of $17,200 if someone fairly rich wasn't supplying the credit card.
​
Still respectable to put in all the time and effort to make it but it probably is a lot easier, when you have the ability to run up $17,000 credit card debt and possibly have your housing and maybe even a car paid for by someone enabling you to spend a lot of time writing music and singing in bars."
 
and
 
"Over $17,000 though for a young woman without an actual job, she'd need to have probably at least 10 credit cards to get that much in debt and it would be hard to get so many since if you get one your rating goes down and you need to wait quite a while to apply for more or you get rejected and if you get rejected you need to wait even longer again.
​
To me it's more likely her parents if they are Millionaires had credit cards with $20//30/50,000 limits and she just used one for food and clothes and stuff while she lived there and her dad probably paid it but then she could have given him the money back once she got rich enough and was making her own money.
​
I'd also guess the ding craigslist jobs thing was something she more done just for experience or maybe something to do, rather than it being something she had to do for money. Same as she said she lived in a trailer but I remember reading before how she bought it but never really lived in it, just used it to go to sometimes to hang out or to write songs in it."
 
I mean, if I had wealthy parents, I could probably go play in trailer parks too for the ~experience~ without worrying about shit.
 
There was a famous guy who did an interview and said she met Lana before she was famous and said Lana liked to lie lmao.
She's a damn liar and we know this. Justice for Norman Fucking Rockwell.

This is true in regards to poetry. The words stand on their own. In poetry, Lana doesn't have great music to make us overlook shitty writing.
Songwriting is a different medium because the main focus is usually the actual music, rather than the words. It's why I don't think lyrics really need to be that important because a song should be judged as a whole and tbh people will like any damn thing as long as the music is good.
Criticizing poor excuse for poetry isn't a personal attack or That Deep. If it's shit, it's shit. Don't expect people to pay for shit just because you're famous. Lana's banking on her fame to get people to buy this because we know she tried making it as a poet and failed. Now she thinks her stans will buy anything because it's ~Lana~
Her writing is lazy and the lack of proper editing makes it look even lazier. The lack of punctuation style she tries using doesn't work because her words just aren't strong enough. She needs to read more IMO. Punctuation is one of the best ways to sort and add dimension to your poetry.
 
She needs to say something because she doesn't realize people won't care about her poetry if she's dangling an album over their heads. She's doing a disservice to herself and doesn't even realize it. Her fans are hungry for music, an album, not a poetry book. If she thinks starving us will make us want her poetry book, I'd rather starve.

Yeah I remember that, I think she said she had Mexican friends in Florida (Miami?) who she spoke spanish with.
 
It's weird how much stuff she has lied about, maybe she is a crazy fantasist and almost nothing shes said is true. I don't believe she was an alcoholic either -  it would make sense she just made that up as the reason she went to boarding school - it doesn't sound cool to have went to boarding school because you were rich and your parents sent you compared to you being wild and an alcoholic and having to be sent to be kept off the streets lol
 
Probably a same thing with the Spanish, she probably had a Spanish tutor or something to learn it but she just says she learned it by speaking to her Mexican friends in Florida.

it's not entirely to do with the album, although that admittedly contributes to it, but i myself most assuredly won't be kissing her ass about the poetry book when it's out. i'm glad she's doing what she likes, i think that's great, and she has every right to do so. i don't like the poems we've gotten so far though. the sentiments are nice and there are a few lines here and there that i really like, but nothing feels fleshed out or fully realized. there's a difference between writing lyrics and writing poetry; without the musical element, there's more pressure on the writing to stand on its own and be a strong, interesting, worthwhile piece of art in and of itself. to me, this (writing we've seen thus far) doesn't do that. if it was being sung as lyrics, that would be a different story. 
 
i'm not that concerned with whether the book is holding up the album because of the sheer fact that we have no real way of knowing what the truth in that matter is, but if the only thing holding up the album release is the fact that she wants to finish the book first, then yes i'd be annoyed. but i'm not about to be out here jumping to conclusions like that. all i know is that we don't have the album yet, we have a pretty constant flow of typo-riddled, unfinished-feeling, kind of mediocre poetry (i'm not saying she doesn't have the capability to write good poetry! i'm saying all of it i've seen feels half-assed!) instead, we're pretty much in the dark about said album, and are instead being fed content that doesn't do much of anything for me. i think it's great that she wants to write poetry. i'm glad she's doing what makes her happy, and i totally support that, i just have no interest in the content produced thus far and find the situation we're in extremely aggravating.
 
(i didn't come into this thread with the intent of writing an essay on the differences between poetry and songwriting, and i probably sound a lot more impassioned/defensive about this topic than i am, because i'm mostly indifferent at this stage in the game...but it's almost 2 am and i'm overcaffeinated and felt like clarifying lmao)
