  1. But even that “alternative” concept. I mean, it’s alternative until certain point, you know? It’s alternative but it’s still palatable/“sellable”. it’s not like, idk, diamanda galas, you know? (but still, that doesn’t means that lana isn’t good or that she’s just like, idk, miley cyrus or dula peep. Of course they’re different, but I do think that Lana is like in ther borderline from pop to alternative but still it’s commercial)
  2. Exactly! tiktok it’s just a more popular tumblr for the 2020’s kids/teens/young adults tumblr did the same thing selling us an artist– that’s how lana (alongside others) got famous. it’s shitty how capitalism transforms everything into a product (like, even food that it’s a basic human need, that grows for free in trees etc are being sold and you have to pay for it! Pay for something that you need to survive… that’s weird af)
  3. Lana is pretty commercial tbh (love her tho) but we shouldn’t fall for the narrative that she’s alternative and a underdog bc she is not
  4. it’s not tiktok’s fault. in the past people would say that the issue is on the radios too bc it shaped and shifted music– and television too. the issue is the whole music industry and commodification of art like it’s just an object to be consumed (like you do with clothes, make-up, food etc) tiktok just shows us that, but it’s not “their” fault– it’s just an app that works in the same way that the music *industry* (which is a really important word in here) works. it’s sad and fucked up
  5. Yeah but like, it happens surprisingly soon and let’s not forget the black beauty, affa, hollywood etc situation Her songs always leak really soon
