    Pm's it is then! Or I guess it's up to the users, but pm's would be safer imo, lemme edit it, and thanks! Looking forward to it. Is it like Tetris on steroids? Lol 

    Battle Royale Tetris lmaooo. You vs 98 other players clearing lines to 'send' lines to other players. Last player standing wins!

    what about the LBTQ people though? we don't deserve to be slighted.

     

     

    I never stereotyped or pigeonholed gay men as "arbiters of style and taste" so I don't know why you're using quotation marks. This is a conversation about pop music and gay men so obviously culture is going to be brought up.

    I feel like you're chastising Lana for feeling connected to a demographic she's a part of and criticising it as "cis-privileged white female apologist" despite me never mentioning white or cis, just women. Women are allowed to have a sense of community too.

    Fwiw I do think it would be nice if she made a more direct acknowledgement of her lgbt fanbase but I see nothing wrong with wanting to be connected to fans who aren't gay men too.

     

    ETA LGBT people can also be women, the groups aren't mutually exclusive

    this comment is mildly problematic. pigeonholing and stereotyping gays as "arbiters of style and taste" is not really useful in a society that worships Jonathan Van Ness for his sound bites but then chastises him for admitting he has HIV. this thread, I don't believe, needs more cis-privileged white female apologists. it is undeniable that Lana Del Rey's fanbase has a huge LGBTQ population. we're not asking for her to become a global activist and intercessor on our behalf, championing LGBTQ rights, or anything like that. all we're (not even wanting or expecting just) wishing for is some form of acknowledgment from this person who we admire and support, and in my opinion we have never gotten that acknowledgment in any significant way, which i think was OP's point. (and no, letting winn edwards suck up to her does not count as LGBTQ acknowledgement). 

     

    edit: just to be clear I'm not calling Yung a cis-privileged white female, I'm calling Lana one  :toofunny:

    This might be an unpopular take but... I actually feel like on the whole women have been pushed out many pop spaces (esp alt pop) despite being the main cohort who have historically (and contemporarily) supported the pop music industry and its artists. Sometimes I feel like women (regardless of sexual orientation) get made fun of for liking the same pop music that gay men do because it's "basic" when we like it or whatever. At a gathering recently a friend of a friend told me Charli XCX is "for gay men only" and while he sort of meant it as a joke I felt like it was quite revealing of the kind of culture women in pop spaces experience. I've heard similar sentiments from PC music fans too. While many current pop acts undeniably have huge gay male fanbases, I don't think that should be at the cost of women getting to enjoy those spaces too. I guess it just frustrates me a bit because pop music has traditionally been marketed towards women, who became the butt of jokes about it being lowbrow, only for it to be later claimed by gay culture and then become way less lowbrow and way more cool. Basically misogyny in pop is wearing me down :rip:

    I want to take this moment to say that Lana's soundtrack catalogue is so so so bad. She, the most cinematic artist of the century, should have FANTASTIC and acclaimed soundtracks.

     

    Her only actually good soundtrack is the incredible Young and Beautiful. Then Big Eyes (amazing song) and Once Upon a Time.

     

    The rest I don't even remember.

     

    I hope some day she serves another Y&B for a huge film.

     

    Hi, I have Once Upon A Dream on the line, she'd like to have a word with you.

    1. BACK FROM HELL

    2. EVIL LIKE ME

    4. 96 Corolla (Motorman)

    I'm no dedicated Charli stan so i'm sure this has been discussed before, but does charli like mz bratt or just the a.g cook/life sim remix of Selecta? cos mz bratt goes off and it was real nice to hear that melody again.

    That article was embarrassing, though. She spent so much time comparing sis to everyone else that she completely missed the point of sis and her music. It's also pretentious as fuck.

     

    Imagine being tasteless enough to write an entire paragraph attempting to drag Cinnamon Girl.

     

    If I had not heard any of NFR then went and read this 'review' I'd still have no idea what it'd sound like.
