reminds me of when id force everyone to listen to lana whenever a game had the roblox radio 
one of my favs to play was an uncensored cola that somehow got bypassed
 
 
 
anywhosies i was watching one of marinas videos and lana was always in my recommendations (or someone she was compared to) so i finally decided to watch one of her recommended videos which was national anthem and i fell in love with her music and visuals 

Doesn't it also kinda upset you that there's so many people out there who hate that song and the meaning behind it?

Dark Paradise, specifically. In the Spring of 2012, a friend of mine recommended Lana to me. He mentioned the Born to Die album but specifically recommended the songs Off to the Races, Video Games, National Anthem and Dark Paradise and DP being the first one I listened to. In June of 2012, a group of us purchased tickets to see her in concert for $20 each and I had front row seats and I was so mesmerized by her live performance of Million Dollar Man and I've been hooked ever since.

West Coast! lol. After I heard that song I was immediately hooked on her music, after that I listened to Ultraviolence (song) and then the whole album and I was shooooooooooook. I couldn't believe that someone could make music that was so beautiful .

ride, i was obsessed 
 
i remember this really cool/ sketchy girl (evie from thirteen energy) i was friends with was obsessed with lana and introduced me to her 
 
me and my friend also were super obsessed with dark paradise and would blare it in her moms car. looking back i kinda feel bad bc her mom had intense depression and a song about lana wanting to die prob didn’t help  or maybe she liked it idk 
 

Video Games, but then it was cemented with Cruel World 

kitschy & mysterious... i like that  

even so it makes like perfect sense to me that lolita would be the catalyst to your love for lana... like the kitsch, the mystery, the pure fun of it all what a moment

...which is ironic because now that's my least favorite version of lolita  i highly prefer the other four versions...  

Off To The Races!
 
I liked the singles that came out before the album, but that first album play through hooked me! And it was only song 2. Knew I was gonna love her right then and there

this is so perfect for you  i read some of these and just think of course that's how they became a fan, like it makes perfect sense. too cute

it was the album version of lolita, i thought it was really intriguing and i began listening to her other songs, and i slowly became a massive lana fan  

I didn’t fall in love w Lana until I got to Radio on BTD. Then I was hooked. She lost be a bit around Honeymoon but won me back harder than ever with Mariners Apartment Complex. 

Off to the Races. Still my favorite, still convinced it’s one of her greatest ever. Borders on camp classic because oh my god... so glamorous and ridiculous and transcendent 

Born To Die.
 
The first time I was aware of Lana's existence was watching her perform on American Idol in like 2012. (I thought she was boring at the time so I ignored her ) But then like a year later a girl i went to school with was watching some of lana's music videos in class and after seeing them i bought Born To Die (album) and listened to it in full every night before i fell asleep like all of summer 2013

salvatore 
 
it wasn't the first lana song i ever heard (...BTD songs on the radio came first) but 100% what made me fall in love. absolute magic

Yesss I remember when you joined in August last year and blessed us with that iconic airplane album cover concept for Chemtrails 

I’ve been “here” in spirit for sure lol but I only decided to make a LB account last year after not having anyone to fangirl with over LDR 

i probably listened to born to die at sometime but i didn't like it at all.
a few months later when i came across Ride music video made me a fan, i still really love it so much

Video Games when it first started to go viral in fall 2011! I was in class with a bunch of hipsters and they were talking to each other like "hey have you heard of this artist called Lana del Rey?"
I remember being mesmerized by it all, then rushing home and shortly downloading Off To The Races when it was a free song on iTunes.

You’ve been here since the Diet Mtn Dew demo....? that would have been in 2010, right?! You really are an OG 

Born to Die!

First Song- Young & Beautiful
Song that made me stan: Cruel World or West Coast

video games was the first song of hers i heard in 2012 and i was just an occasional listener but she was impossible to avoid on tumblr so i started hearing some unreleased songs like on our way and kinda outta luck which is what got me to stan

my mom listened to Blue Jeans and Summertime Sadness in 2012 but it took me till I heard Money Power Glory and Fucked My Way Up To The Top on Vine in 2014 to become a stan lmao
