My personal take is that lies come easily to her. We know she had a pretty lonely childhood, and that leaves lasting effects. The whole 'chameleon soul' aspect of her is probably where a lot of it comes from. I feel like she thought about what life could be like if she grew up poor with her grandmother in Alabama, or had a 'las vegas past' and tries to incorporate a lot of that stuff into her personality. It's like when you see someone from your childhood who grew up going to church every weekend and getting good grades has suddenly become a goth since going to university, if that makes sense. A lot of people do it, especially artists, but idk. Take a writer like Donna Tartt- she forged a kind of mysterious personality in college that she's kept since then. How she presents herself to the public won't be how she is in real life, but there's a line. She doesn't flat-out lie about her past. That's where my issue lies with her. Lying about your past to make it sound like you've had it harder than you really did is pretty gross considering she's lying about growing up poor, or being poor at some point, because at the end of the day she's profiting off that costume, and she can take that costume off when she has no need for it. It's one thing to make something like Tropico or Ride, which are pieces of art with a story that I doubt anyone takes as fact. It's another to outright lie to people though.
 
Idk. My thoughts are kind of all over the place. Maybe that's why she gets on so well with Leto. Both take method acting too far.

We've gone over that before. JK Rowling never described the Harry Potter series as her autobiography. Lana literally said she writes about her life; things that happened to her personally. Why do we keep on playing dumb here? It's like when people compare her to an actress.

Oh I absolutely agree with you! But Halsey, Charlie xcx and Marina are also not at all similar so I don’t how how we’re grouping them together but calling Lana a unique talent that has never been recreated. Mind you, I’ve never liked the music of any of the three artists I’ve named but they all sound distinct and calling them high pitched demons is a bit mean spirited.

how is that an unpopular opinion

That just means the algorithm deduced that Lana’s audience are the same people who listen to these pop girls. If she really were that different from these “demons” then her audience would be completely different from theirs, wouldn’t it?

indeed! that one was quite impressive in how genuinely baffling it was

can we all agree to just not give mr. "it's ok to be gay as long as you shut up about it, also white men built the western world" any more attention?

Girl, I was one of those unhinged serial killer fangirls too. I’m so glad I grew out of that shit. 
Now if only Lana learned from her experience of being in a cult and kept her distance.

Some of you are mentioning how shes a "pathological liar" or that she might have been this fake persona this whole time, which reminded me of what James Franco said about Lana.
 
"The thing about singers, especially the ones who write their own lyrics, is that everyone reads the person into the songs. An actor is sometimes aligned with with his roles, but a singer is asked about her lyrics as if they were direct statements of her true thoughts and feelings."
 
"Sometimes Lana doesn't know what to say in interviews, so she plays into the idea that her songs are her, and not her creations."
 
Now I know he isn't the best person to be quoting, but I do think these words are coming from things she personally told him.
 
Another thing I found on Instagram:
"What was the best story she ever told you? -Well, after we were introduced, she told me that she grew up in Arkansas in a trailer park, and was raised by her grandmother. But I'd already known that she was from a family of means in New York. So I was just like, "Huh, you don't say, Arkansas, trailer park." But it was like being around a performance artist. It's not like they're a pathological liar or something, they're just a person creating a character
(Rope, a guy who knew Lana before fame)"
 
Not sure if the story is true but it could further prove that she possibly has had a fake persona, multiple of them, this whole time.I don't think everything about her is fake, like her emotions. (at least- I hope not) Just the more glamorized things.

i wonder why that is  

I'm gonna be honest: her shitty poetry was the only reason why I went out of my way to find fan sites. Which isn't to say it hasn't gotten a little better, or that she hasn't posted a decent poem or two... but her very early ones were just really bad to me, and all the sycophants on IG, and even on the reddit fan subforum, were talking about how amazing all of it was and how she's such a master with words.I legitimately thought I was going insane. So I scoured the internet trying to find anyone who felt how I did.
 
A very pathetic irony on my part, I know.

if you really think its ok to have these views in the name of religion you really need to be woken up
 
2 women were brutally attacked here in the uk for being gay and its because of hatred. churches like these turn a blind eye to this hatred, and even agree with it, possibly passing it onto members such as lana herself
 
i get freedom of religion, but i dont agree with blindly following something that incites hatred
 
 
anyway to keep this on topic i dont think nfr is coming anytime soon 

Exactly. The innocence of children is precious and should be protected at all costs <3

Seriously!
 
IDC how good a pop song is, as a gay person, how can I support an artist that that wants to associate with a church that wants LGBT people to be tortured and take basic rights away from women?
you think this mega church isn't donating to anti-LGBT or anti-women causes?? Come on. Lmao get real.

You know, I always thought she’d roll the other way and try to be edgy by calling herself a satanist (like I did when I was 15) but this is somehow even worse.

I can't wait for her to sell all her cars and buy a truck
 
She'll be dancing at night back in Alabama for real this time
 
Chuck, for some bizarre reason considering she's a member of the LGBTQ+ community, seems to be okay with it. We've seen her hang out with the Hillsong crew more than once.

Lmao I did the same thing. I even purchased the LaVeyan Satanic bible
