Phenomena

To be fair I can see how celebrities feel pressured to give their basically useless 2 cents on every current issue because society for some reason has come to the agreement that they should "use their platform" or whatever. I remember back during BLM in 2020, if a celebrity didn't go out of their way to post against racism and police brutality, twitter users assumed that meant they SUPPORTED it (lol, wtf?) Then twitter users started complaining that they were just "all talk" and celebrities started being pressured to show receipts of donations. I remember when Lana specifically didn't post anything about it, people used it to leverage the idea of her being racist. 

Now I think it's about time we step back and look at how absurd this SJW shit is and agree that it's ok for celebrities to just... be quiet like in the good 'ol days, or else they'll keep coming out making ignorant statements
 
(i'm not really gonna touch on the issue at hand with Israel cause i'm saying all this generally)

I agree that it’s definitely not black and white, and while I think the letter is poorly worded and doesn’t address the immense suffering Israel has unleashed on Palestinians, I also think Lana added her name to this with good intentions and I’m not going to drag her for it.

i've said this before but my unpopular opinion currently is that i'm fine with a longer wait for the next album; ocean blvd was a truly incredible record with a pretty fulfilling era (by lana standards at least!) so i'm quite okay with waiting over a year for the next album! *especially* if it means the album will be outstanding, put together well and part of a bigger era with a few music videos, a full tour with an updated setlist, some lovely photoshoots, etc.

I don’t understand why everyone thinks she’s saying “chickens running bare feet” it’s so completely obvious she’s listing 3 different things. Chickens, running bare feet, there’s a baby on the way. I don’t know if you all are joking or if you actually think she’s saying the chickens are barefoot LOLL 

What I'd really want from Honeymoons 10th anniversary is a live orchestral theatre performance with no audience, only streamed and posted to YouTube. The whole Honeymoon tracklist, with no additions because it's perfect.
And the audio released as well.

ocean Blvd was a great album but I’m HUNGRY. We need something fiery. We need something hot, something grunge, something psychedelic, dark, wet, spicy, depressing, life changing, heartbreaking, soul crushing, trippy, melancholic, passionate, genre defying, incredible, showstopping……….

This discussion is so fucking annoying honestly… why are we bothered that someone is not “poor enough” for our understanding? Why do you feel that there is only one version of poverty and struggle? Black-and-white mentality is getting proper ridiculous at this point.

I don't know how unpopular this is cause I've seen mixed reactions all over the internet but I don't like the new tour at all 
 
I love her looks, vocals are amazing and she's so happy so I'm happy for her but all the dancers doing random shit on stage takes me out of it 
 
She said it helps her confidence so at the end of the day I'm glad for her but I really miss the earlier tours when it was just her doing her random mini dances, the sexy drops and the walks around the stage without any planning. 
 
I guess it made every single show a bit more special cause you didn't know what to expect from her and now it's all more choreographed and such
I get why some people would prefer this type of show tho 

Exactly, there was a fanmade heavy metal version of Heroin in YT and all the comments there were like "omfg Ultraviolence vibes" and I'm like bitch where? 
 
Ultraviolence was never rock rock, like hard rock or something like that. It's like alternative rock, indie rock, blues rock, jazz rock, psychedelic rock, desert rock, dream rock and perhaps baroque rock. It has electric guitars which is a common element in rock music but it sounds much more unique than in regular rock songs. Same with drums, the drums are more slow and hazier dreamier on UV. Also there are other elements which aren't that common in ordinary rock songs like strings, orchestra and also there are a lot of acoustic instrumentals too like acoustic guitar or piano. But I once saw a random band calling Ultraviolence as their insipiration and calling it a pop album...for me it's a definitely an insult to the album, it's definitely not a pop album. But I wouldn't really call it a traditional rock album too. More like rock subgenres and of course alternative.
 
I don't think that NFR album is rock too but it represents the rock subgenres: alternative rock, indie rock, soft rock, folk rock, psychedelic rock and maybe classic rock too.

Don't get me wrong, I love all the channels making "Ultraviolence" versions of other Lana songs, and many of them I listen to regularly, but it's like we all forgot Ultraviolence has some songs that aren't rock-based at all and also has other sounds that branch out a lot more. There is so much focus on making a song sound like rock and calling it an Ultraviolence Version, but no one is noticing the soft jazz, the vintage sounds, the piano and the strings as the part that is distinctly Lana. In fact, the album sounding too "classic rock" is exactly what Dan Auerbach said was wrong with the original record before he produced it.
I absolutely get that rock is probably easier for amateur musicians to do on their computers, but yeah, I still kinda see it as making Ultraviolence more shallow than it is. It's such a complex album, I'm always searching for more and never being satisfied!
