    I feel like some fans realised they could get a reaction out of him, so they started piling on ... dm-ing him and insulting him, etc. Then, as indicated in my post above, there are the actual dangerous "fans" who make real life threats 'n' shit.

     

    Neither type is okay, but the latter is definitely worse.

    I see what you mean. to me it comes across as people investing themselves in a relationship that they not apart of. but it's understandable. hope I'm not sounding negative though

    Just read some of this thread and stuff about Lana using several men in one song and I found myself thinking about that when I was listening to Terrence Loves You. And now it as a song feels more interesting because like many of Lana’s songs we can’t be sure who that really is written about but uhm does anyone else think that Terrence Loves You could be about all of her men? She loses the man and herself along the way and finds another one to distract herself? Like we know that she is really not the type to stay single for a long time and she has had a lot of if not real boyfriends than at least ‘speculated relations’. And many of her relationships seem to me like they change her even just a bit because she puts so much of her heart into them.

     

    “I lost myself when I lost you”

    sounds to me like she found a man, she feels brand new with him because you know she herself is sensitive and adapts so well into her mens’ feelings and maybe even copies their characteristics? But then the man is gone, so now she is gone too?

     

    “But you are who you are, I won't change you for anything

    For when you are crazy, I'll let you be bad

    I'll never dare change thee to what you are not”

    her men are who they are and she doesn’t put thoughts or efforts into changing them not only because she truly cares for them but also because she finds it easier and more pleasant to just change herself?

     

    “I still get trashed, baby, when I hear your tunes”

    yeah well nobody likes a reminder of an ex after things went wrong lmao but imagine if she really changed herself because of the man but then had to let go her new self

     

    “I still got jazz when I’ve got those blues”

    ‘Jazz’ could be her true self? Like she still has some of herself left that she feels most connected to when she gets the ‘blues’ which could be the break up. Or ‘jazz’ as in her own music and art that is always there and ‘blues’ as men that come and go?

     

    I can see this song could also could also be about Barrie or ‘K’ or Josh or whoever her ‘same goddamn person’ is but this is something I’ve been thinking bout recently. Especially since she has dated Sean. Or who knows maybe this song is just about alcohol idk

    Yes I fully agree it could be about a variety of the men she "dated".. also Shiny toy guns have a song called "Major Tom".. which could also include Mikey Martin?

    her vocal stylings, her lyrics, her aesthetic, echoed and repurposed in ever corner of music. [she has an AOTY grammy nomination], because she just kept making art. -- Taylor Swift

     

     

     

     

    So I take it people mostly disagree with the first part of what Taylor says (although Taylor might be referring to music videos, both hers and Lanas, a bit), but agree with the second part.

     

    In terms of what kind of influence LDR is supposed to have had: something like -- talented female artist unjustly beaten down by a male and misogynistic critics' community, who nevertheless later rose up by virtue of her art to squash that community -- that's fine. However, for me I'd (somewhat selfishly) rather her eventual influence be more like The Beatles' (or Bowie's) influence, because that's the kind of music artist I miss the most.

    To me her BTD aesthetic was very Amy but mostly Priscilla Presley.. kinda still Priscilla to this day

    I absolutley think Lana paved the way for certain things, I'll just start off by saying that.

     

    But not every single alternative/'sad girl' artist is copying her. Sure, some are, but I'm honestly sick of basically hearing that Lana created a whole new genre. Not saying she doesn't deserve any credit, we all know she does, but this is just too much (again, I'm the first to praise her lol)

     

    I know this isn't a very 'unpopular' opinion, but it IS an opinion that will get me torn apart anywhere else, so I'm just throwing it out there lol

    True. IMO people are abit biased sometimes

    Disagree. She clearly inspired people in the likes of Lorde, Halsey and Billie Eilish. Not saying she paved the way for every single alternative artist, but it's clear that Born To Die was very influential to some of the most popular acts that "came" after her.

    Yeah I see what you mean but I'd say Amy Winehouse in some way. everybody probably has diff opinions, probably depends on their age TBH.

    Also those artist that you mentioned don't have the same sound as Lana & they probably only knew summertime sadness. Amy was more influential to Artists from Adele to future (Honest) to Jessie Reyez & Lana.

    It’s not. He didn’t have an album come out during her writing for this album, so right away it takes him out of the equation. That specific detail always led me to believe it was about Barrie, but it could even be someone we don’t know about. People only think it’s about G-Eazy because she dissed him during it live once, but she does that with lots of people and songs that aren’t connected.

    100% agree.. also the actor/musician Edvard egilsson resembles Barrie & the isn't it about"the one that got away"?

    I beg to differ.

     

    She said that on Ultraviolence we would hear the grand return of the Born To Die strings, it was featured in the title track and that was it. Though I will give her credit for saying that UV would feature a lot of psychedelic rock influences and it did.

     

    Honeymoon was supposed to sound "jazzy" it was hardly jazzy, some light jazz influences on a few songs and that was it, the rest of the album was this mix between classical/cinematic instrumentation and "muddy" trap beats as she described.

     

    Then came LFL, with its alleged "doo wop"/60s pop à la Shangri Las vibe, which was only present on the title track and Get Free. I can't really put my finger on the vibe she tried to go for for the rest of the album, as it's too all over the place. But for the most part it was heavily trap beats influenced.

     

    Now with NFR, we were supposed to get some sort of desert rock vibe meet Red Hot Chilly Peppers... it's a folk album with piano ballads...

     

    Like I said, I'm eager for Lana to describe the sound of the next record, because I know for fact it won't be accurate.

    Lol true. however I always thought Honeymoon was kinda mostly leaning on an Electronic Album

    I can't wait for the visuals for this album by the incredible Chuck :flutter: : Lana sitting on the toilet for 30 minutes, smiling in her sunglasses with a Snapchat-filter-esque-added white hot suns in them, her dancers in white dancing around looking at the iPhone camera with their sexy stares and with a dramatic CGI explosion of the toilet at the end instead of flushing

    LOL

    You literally just described all the girls who would listen to Lana during the BTD era. Hell, not only girls but gays too! The point is: why should we shame women based on how they want to feel or be perceived by others? Especially young girls since that's the majority of Billie's audience. Trashing girls and women because they want to feel a certain way is so... misogynistic? Why are y'all so bothered by this? Don't you realize that by saying this you're just being even more boring acting like what you listen is "real" music and you are, in fact, the unique one? It's the same behavior those dudes who listen to rock bands exhale when they see a girl wearing a t-shirt of some 80's band. Literally who cares? Why invest so much time and energy on why some people listen to a certain artist? Don't you guys get tired?

    100% Agree

    Yes, Carlifornia is actually a very political song. It literally talks about climate change and war in the same song. It idolizes Cali as a safe state compared to rest of America.

     

    Some of the ignorant girlies here tried to come for me. Please.

    lol,could be partially some of the lyrics if you right but didn't she say the guy the songs about is currently in London? so I believe it's about a ex boyfriend
