  1. Bestie, taste is subjective. I can say that your taste is boring af
  2. My ranking and I'm pretty sure I'll trigger someone... 1. Born To Die (iconic but I overplayed it so much in middle school that my brain washed it down). 2. Honeymoon (I would need to write an essay for this but instead, two words - "dark luxe", search it on Pinterest btw). 3. Ultraviolence (the lyrics gave me chills, the instrumental was everything) 4. Lust For Life (vibey but far less from 1,2,3, tried too hard to make it chart-friendly) 5. NFR (Okay, maybe if I listen it a couple of more times I will like it more) 6. COCC (mediocre, too predictable, the melody is pretty meh, the lyrics aren't special either) 7. BB (pretty mediocre song and pretty bad for a title track and Lana's standards)

    Guys, that doesn't mean the conservatorship is over. There may be a new conservator and the family still taking her money.
  4. Lmao that's the video where I discovered Sky Ferreira. Tbh look at every recent artist, the sampling, "paying homage" and "inspirations" are unreal and so so obvious. Halsey at least wasn't that obvious in "taking inspiration" from other artists. She was a basic soft grunge Tumblr girl and that was her lane. Even Dua Lipa's recent hits are samples after samples of already classic 80s hits that it's basically recycled music and guaranteed success. I still like the Badlands Halsey and own that vinyl in honor of my teenage music taste and I can confirm that it still doesn't sound outdated, the art and production are great for a debut album and the lyrics scream angsty highschool/college girl. After Badlands and that Chainsmokers collab she came across so fake and pretentious with all her bullshit opinions.
  5. Literally Sad Girl and Shades Of Cool heading to Cruel World. I'm new to this forum so I don't know how people react when she finally releases an album.
  6. Something like this but that looks more like a blue quartz. Lana isn't very strong at her colored vinyl game. She often choses the most obvious colors that often don't even match the vibe, I only like BTD and Honeymoon but she shoud've do a velvet red BTD vinyl not a basic red. Btw Britney is so 2000s pop culture that I can't imagine owning her vinyl. It sounds so odd. She is pure badazzled CD vibes. I don't like how every artist and their dog today releases vinyl copies, even Kidz Bop did.
  7. Lol for me it's the complete opposite. When I visit this site I get reminded about her best songs and how I took her best eras for granted and listen to one song, two, then another one, another one, another one, another one and sudddendly I listened an entire album.
  8. @ChaoticLipster The only time an artist, including Lana owes you something is if you pre ordered/ordered an album/merchandise for her site that has to arrive, her appearing at the concert you bought tickets for or something similar. So, in case you invested money in her album, she owes you, but otherwise she doesn't. Please keep in mind that she's a human who lives far far away from you, who doesn't know you exist and probably never will so if you can't handle her not releasing music, please leave this site and unstan her. She has 6 albums + unreleased songs for fuck's sake. Go listen to that.
  9. Well, we and a big portion of people here are more than average fans so a lot of people here love anything she puts out. Unfortunately, the majority of fans and casual listeners don't think the same. She is very popular here and from my observation, she is losing interest from her average fans and it's pretty sad but very real. Her listeners are often into alt and rock music so her switching to folk and purely piano ballads will push them away. Video games was fresh in that era but I feel like she became globally famous when the title track and SS were released. I know how BTD was made lol. They tried to push her like an outcast with the popular kids. I remember the cringe I felt when I found an old 2011 CD of pop hits where Video Games was between LMFAO and Flo Rida like . Who tf think it was a good idea to sneak an alt ballad with club hits?
  10. I have been saying this long time ago. She's not as charismatic as she used to be. She lost everything that made her stand out. It's not hateful to admit that. Look at Gaga, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Kesha etc. none of them are as interesting as they used to be. I'm still looking forward to her album but I don't have very high expectations because her older stuff always beats her newer stuff. People here who defend her probably became fans from BTD or UV. Would you feel the same about her if you discovered her in the COCC era? I highly doubt that. The passive agressive comments whenever someone brings this up is just denial. As for others, if Lana's career decisions affect your mental state maybe book a therapy session, find another hobby or expand your music taste. Edit: grammar mistakes made by my dumb ass
  11. We don't know that. Her debut album was pretty successful for someone who financed by themselves. It wasn't mainstream but it aged nicely, kinda like Lana's work. Her promotions are extremely extremely bad. I've been following the indie scene on yt in middle school and never have I ever came across to her until 2015. I've played Voices Carry to multiple people and the majority liked it after the first chorus, including me. It wasn't "its nice..." it was "Oooohhh that's niice". Also, moody artists are very trendy atm. She is the full package for a successful artist targeted at teens and young adults but considering everything that happened, everything falls into water. Her Instagram is also very depressing.
  12. Artists like Allie X, The Marias and Tinashe are still underground while Addison and Dixie have a career. I know that was always the case but Tiktok kids having cash grab music careers is even worse than industry plants.
  13. Not a druggie here but her best music mentions drugs and at least in my opinion she doesn't sing about them in a cringey way. The way she describes those situations is like watching that intimidating female fictional character you secretly wish it was you. So yeah, that's my take on why she should continue that. I don't want to listen her sing about being a country girl wanting a man, kids and love. Boooring. Literally what 98% of folk songs' lyrics in my country. Also I wish she should have some indie girl or rocker dude featured. Nikki may sound decent in studio with her but they're awful together live. Lana's voice is too delicate for a stronger, nasaly country voice. Nikki kinda sounds like Miley Cyrus in the Plastic Hearts era.
  14. I have a feeling I'll be dreaming this tonight If see it one more time. Wish me luck to not be a nightmare.
  15. All of these people believing in insiders... Insiders: *source: trust me bro*
  16. I love how this thread switches constantly between "Omg I can't wait BB will be ethereal" and "Lana's music ain't shit in 2021, here comes another flop again" and people who manifest and create fake tracklists.
  17. She shouldn't argue with anyone anymore. The only time she won was against Azealia Banks, the most low hanging fruit along with Courtney Love lmao. She's not really the type to have epic feuds and win like female rappers do. Speaking of Courtney Love...
  18. Yeah but her last two albums and possibly the newest album (if we judge them based on singles) sound very similar. That's not good. She's not evolving as fast as she was before if she's too comfortable with the minimalist piano sound in her latest albums. I will never understand why many musicians are the most creative in their 20s while authors are at middle age-old age. Also, she seems too confident with her soccer mom meets cottage core aesthetic which is cute in COCC but she better be interesting in BB if she keeps the same style.
  19. Yeah, don't get offended by this, it's just a fun fact. I'm a big fan of The Doors but I don't consider Jim Morrison to be the best songwriter ever. Some of the artists don't even write their own songs. Is Christina Aguilera already a legend? She released an album less than 10 years ago.
  20. Yeah, before Folklore and Evermore her lyrics were 100% melody. I remember when her hits included "Me-hee-heeee-he Oh-hoo-hooo-ho" and "So, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh" that literally sounds like a practice/warm up of the school choir. She has still great pop hits but I don't see the genius lyricism everyone's talking about. Olivia, on the other hand, is very good for teen pop standards but not enough good to be considered 'the' pop star. We may find her too childish to listen but I would see myself at 15 years old staning her music. The song Jealousy Jealousy is still reletable for me at least. I feel guilty for wishing she was around in mid 2010s because back then it was that awful EDM Chainsmokers/Major Lazer trend and 99% of pop songs were unlistenable for me. At least we got great alt bands in the early 2010s like AM, TNBHD, Cigarettes and more. Sorry for my rant

    If you're living in 2021 you would know how much social media is important. Ever heard of "background check"? Whatever you do people will check your social media. Everything else you mentioned is also very important but it's not 2006 when social media is just a fun place that can't be taken seriously. Also you're being very childish because you're looking everything from a feminist pov as if everyone including the court cares about feminism. You won't get far in life if you can't imagine someone not having the same opinion as you do.

    Yeah, you're right about the dance videos. People mock her for them yet they were never used against her. The Kardashians are an obvious case of body dismorphia and narcissism but I don't remember the media calling them insane and mocking their mental illness. Why are you so triggered in every answer? People don't think that Britney is doing something bad and slutty but rather if that's going to be used against her.

    I got used to seeing celebs showing off their tits and more but it's still socially unacceptable in the majority parts of the world. Celebs and models have a pass because they have fans to defend them plus they've usually posed professionally so there's something artistic behind it. Still, Britney has to act socially acceptable to show she's mentally stable and she has a history of mental illness unlike Kim K and Emily Ratajkovski. It's easy being a feminist and saying that it's her body bla bla bla and I'm all for that but we need to think realistically.

    Thoughs on the recent topless spamming? I don't think it's her but rather her team trying to make her look insane. I remember her saying somewhere that she's not comfortable anymore in dressing and dancing overly sexy because of her age and teenage sons. Makes sense.
