first of all can we all not try to "diagnose" her based on a few words she's said in an interview
it's clear that she's lived a very eventful life and I think the fame is still very surreal for her. just a few years ago she was singing in bars and making music on her laptop, suddenly she's living in a mansion in LA. I don't think she sees herself as a celebrity, she sees herself as an ordinary person and when you see yourself like that , criticism can be very hard to take.
What she said about death was pretty alarming but I'm not worried about anything drastic happening. in my opinion she didn't mean it in a "I wanna kms" way, she meant it as more like "I wish I didn't live this type of life, I'd rather be dead". she idolizes people who took their life early and she seems to like the idea of dying young, but when it comes down to it, death is not beautiful, it's serious and tragic and I don't think she would do that. the worst I can see happening is that she stops making music for the public

it honestly sounds like it is lorde but then again I doubt lana would write a diss track about a 17 year old, I feel like lordes criticism just flew over Lana's head. but I can't think of any other successful artist that's like Lana
I'm hoping it's about cher

This is one of the misconceptions of feminism... IT IS NOT ABOUT FUCKING EMPOWERED WOMAN WHO DON'T NEED MEN. IT IS ABOUT WOMEN MAKING CHOICES FOR THEMSELVES AND HAVING THE POSSIBILITY TO DO SO. In this matter it is as okay for lana to depend on men (as long as it's her will) as it is on any other woman to decide to be independent or I mean you get the point. It's not wrong to dress up for a man as long as its your choice. I'ts not wrong to never dress up or put on make up.(not mentioning how feminism affects men here cause that's not what we're talkting about)
it's not that fucking hard, google is your friend, essays are cool and slam poetry can be ur friend.no i agree with you, women can depend on men, please men, etc and still be feminist but a lot of other feminists don't think that and that's why they attack lana's lyrics, thats why i gave those examples. in my opinion lana is both dependent and independent in different ways
people are setting their own standards for an ideal feminist and it's getting ridiculous. I saw a post that was like "whys everyone shocked that lana isnt a femnist, she idolizes lolita and sings about getting hit" like x10000000
idc how "uneducated" about it she may seem, i think lanas definition of a feminist summed it up, a woman who feels free to do what she wants. If it's ironic to agree with lana on her definition of feminism so be it

ok while we're on the topic of feminism, everybody (outside the fanbase) has been saying that her lyrics are always antifeminist and the themes are always about her depending on men etc BUT i think it's pretty apparent in some other lyrics that she does believe in female empowerment. most obvious example would be the bridge of the TIWMUG demo ("this is what makes us girls now baby its why we rule the world now baby") other examples would be in driving in cars with boys, kinda outta luck, she's not me... that's just my opinion she's not anti feminist by any means

Can we talk about the fact that she said: " I’ll tell you later when more people know." in regards to the Love of her life, the record exec?
WTF does that MEAN LANA?! LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAA
she'll probably sing about it ?? hopefully
tbh We should stop talking about the feminism comment & talk about the fact that Lana has an unknown illness that she has been battling with over the last couple years, and that critics have driven her to have suicidal thoughts. That seems more important to me at least. I always knew that Lana just didn't like a lot of the stuff with fame, but now I think that she may have some sort of mental illness associated with it all.
yeah that part surprised me because like she said in other interviews, she keeps her personal life private and now all the sudden she's talking about some kind of chronic illness??
i hope she doesnt have some kind of britney spears type breakdown -
maybe reporters should just stop asking her about feminism?? oh wait, they want controversy so their articles get more views or whatever. i don't think it's a big deal that she's not interested in feminism. that doesn't mean she doesn't believe women deserve equal rights. it means she's more interested in other things, just like she said, and I don't see a problem with that. jfc

I think it's my favorite from UV but i like the live version better... it conveys so much emotion that the studio version just doesn't have. the spoken bridge in the live version is so powerful and it always gives me chills. but then again i love the production on it and when she says "Jim told me that" the first time the harmonies are just same with the backing vocals during the bridge

Is anyone else surprised that she's performing on tv? I thought she wouldn't after the fiasco 2 years ago even tho she's improved immensely. oh well she's gonna do so well I'm excited I hope she performs Ultraviolence

she takes gifts from fans, if she tries signing it or something just be like "no thats for you" and maybe write your twitter name on the back of the drawing?she wont remember/ hear you if you actually say it and also get there a lot earlier i have a feeling LA fans are hardcore

Lana's Inspirations & Influences

I haven't been on here in forever but I thought I would share this~
so i was reading Tristessa by Jack Kerouac the other day and, being an LDR fan, one particular passage jumped out at me...
so i know born to die is a common phrase, but we know how lana loves the beat generation and we know how she loves her literary allusions , so I feel like this book might have inspired BTD (song and/or album, or just the title). just cause of the way that one phrase was emphasized in that chapter. idk
