American Whore

yall did she fucking do this after everyone called her Karen holy.... this has me dying

wait do y’all think she did this video after people called Lana a Karen? yall omg

I SWEAR THE CRITICS WILL TAKE THE BAIT AND SHE’LL BE IN HER BATHTUB AT HOME ON HER BROKEN SHITTY IPHONE 6 CACKLING HAHAHAHA

this is exactly what i was thinking, she’s really playing a part this cycle holy shit. i wonder if the record will have any of this as a caricature

I just wanna say real quick too, i’m not speaking only about your comments— i couldn’t go through the entire thread reading the same opinions so idk where your opinion lies about this, i just saw your comment and quoted it in my first post about this. It’s just a general thing i’ve noticed on the first page or two about it and it’s really shocking to see considering how progressive most people here are or pretend to be. But just know this isn’t directed to you only, but to generally everyone who’s feeling upset or angry at this interview. It’s refreshing for me, to say the least.

But they go hand in hand. Misogyny is denying a woman the right to build herself up — to say it’s not right for her to be proud of herself or that she’s not allowed to feel her way of thinking is ahead of the times. Which for all we know, she could be, considering we’re not in her head at all. I think a lot of the anger here is coming from a misogynistic point of view without knowing it— the kind that she’s talking about during the question for the culture. It’s almost a jealous agony, and it’s agonizing to read these opinions because I think they’re unfair. People can feel how they want— fair or unfair, but I think that’s where these lie. It’s actually really sad because after she’s been torn down and torn down by nearly every critic over the years and then built up after one critically acclaimed record, is she not okay to feel this way? My god, she’s has successful tour after tour, album after album — at some point she has to see herself as a successful artist and at some point she has to build her ego back up again to ignore the critics when her next records come out and they try to drag her again. To be able to block out the hateful comments that could even be hurtful, even if she doesn’t show it or make it known that those comments are that way

What’s so weird though is the same people who are now saying, “Ugh, she’s egotistical!” are the same ones who will tell other people that they’re misogynistic in other situations. When she’s allowed to feel these things. She’s allowed to build up her ego— we’ve been exhaustive fans who’ve stayed by her side this long. what did you think would happen? And why is that wrong for her to do so? Men do it all the time. And yet— she’s not allowed?! Okay so... why? Especially when she doesn’t share her personal thoughts every day or her political affiliations, thank god. She’s not the type to publicly support any candidate which i’m so glad about, but she’s sitting around her house or with friends, you think she never thinks about things? She literally has a degree in philosophy. It’s wild the times we’re in. There’s a difference between someone building up their ego to insult or deny feelings of people who are “below” them, which would make me feel more close to the way how some people here are feeling, and the way she’s building her ego. We’ve all said she’s a great artist and realistically doesn’t have a bad record! So why... is she not allowed to be a little cocky? Honestly, some men really love women who are cocky and have the history to back it up— to prove they have a reason to be cocky and it threatens a man’s own ego.

she looks so fucking good here holy fucking shit

does he ever though? honestly? lol

i definitely think she’s been here :3 can’t prove it but i think so! ben and ed hate the forum lol

oh wow, oh wow. i have so much to say. over the last year, this album has grown on me so much. the contrast against what LFL sounded like with this record sounding so differently is what was needed. she absolutely followed up LFL with an album that painted her as even more of a future classic, and now i know what she meant when she called Honeymoon a future retro record. this album is even moreso future retro, i can’t wait until it’s 20 years old and i go back and play the vinyl and it’s just so timeless. the time it cooked was so worth it once we got to hear the final product. some may say it’s boring or typical LDR but it’s... not at all. there maybe 1-2 songs i don’t care for so much but i’ll still even listen to those, i don’t typically skip any on this one anyways.... happy 1 year birthday norman FUCKING rockwell. your title is even iconic. nobody else in the alt pop world would ever.

the album cover looks so david bowie omg

she looks amazing. makeup this good JUST for going hiking? or maybe a hiking video?

i am fucking LIVING for this

shes literally spewing her heart at him, or herself even, almost trying to convince herself that she truly is this poet and shes valid to feel this way! it’s so interesting to hear something so, so different from her. god i love her

lol i wonder how many times she recorded stuff, listened and then deleted, then re-recorded lol

it really could be both! i think it’s definitely intentional, just going with the context on the other lyrics and even the context of the video. which doesn’t mean it’s 100% true, she’s never said it from what i know, but i think it definitely holds some meaning to it. knowing it’s a thing makes me like the song a whole lot more

yall... at first i thought sportcruiser was the best here but i think the best one might be salamander. it’s gorgeous how she recorded the part, “I love you but you don’t understand me, i’m a real poet! my life is my poetry... my lovemaking is my legacy!”

it’s interesting bc the song says “summers meant for love and i’m leavin’” but then the “why am i staying” thing kind of makes it a little... deeper? idk. it makes me see this song differently now

It’s so weird bc the demo was so good and she changed it... and honestly Stevie Nicks was hot as FUCK in the 70s but her voice has just gotten so... rusty and not... hmm not like she used to be.

white mustang sounds like “why... am i staying?” think of that when she sings that part especially the second time in the chorus. so like “your white mustang, why am i staying?” apparently someone said it on genius and i can’t unhear it now lol

i never caught onto the “why am i staying” thing. also, has anyone ever dubbed BAR over this mv? never mind i found it

Also meant to ask, is there now a way to lose old warning points from a year or older? I'm not sure if this was just impossible in the old site so maybe it's possible in the new site, or if it's a rule thing set up by you already

does this upgrade mean it'll be an https web address soon?

This is so weird but I like it. I'll have to get used to it but thanks @Elle for updating it. It definitely needed a face lift
