'A&W' named 'Best Song of the 2020s So Far' by Pitchfork
anwdelrey replied to Trash Magic's topic in Awards & Nominations
Good write up Pitchfork -
The only thing I’ll say is it feels a little irresponsible to suggest the song’s about Ethel if it actually isn’t. This isn’t a rumor confined to Lanaboards anymore, a tweet suggesting Lana made an Ethel Cain diss track has almost half a million impressions rn… so if it’s a joke joke’s over.

I think QFTC and its backlash did more damage than we think. We know Lana’s online and even though she tries to act like she’s above all the criticism we know it gets to her. She’s a hypersensitive person, and if you read between the lines of her output post-QFTC you can tell she felt exiled from the culture. Iirc she said in QFTC her biggest critics were liberal women, so imagine trying for years to be understood by them only to be harshly critiqued time and time again (see Ann Powers’ NPR piece on NFR!, but also critics sabotaging her chances at award recognition, Kim Gordon telling her to k*** herself, etc.). I don’t think it’s a coincidence she left LA for the South and embraced a… let’s say southern mindset! Like you all say, she’s a white woman with very little to lose, why wouldn’t she embrace a world that is less critical and more accepting of the themes she discusses in her music? I totally get why some of you are upset though. But I disconnected from Lana the person post-mesh mask. I knew things were headed down a weird path after that.

Clocked her a bit. It’s interesting though, Trump’s presidency sort of exposed the misconception that America was a progressive nation when the South just didn’t have a voice for a long time. Lana has taken progressive stances, sure, but her music has dealt with a lot of regressive themes like the romanticization of an older, more conservative America and a yearning to perform traditional gender roles. I don’t think Lana’s racist or phobic of anyone, but ultimately a religious woman who believes in the idea of sinning, being saved, and God loving all of us. Take from that what you will. I do think it was lame af of her to criticize Kanye for endorsing Trump, but maybe she has apologized privately 🙂↕️🙂↕️
