I honestly think that I could forgive the blatant lana inspiration if it wasn't for the fact that her whole presence points to a much larger issue of nepotism in the music industry. She comes from money and it seems to be such an insignificance to her fans. They pass it off by saying that no one even knows her dad so it can't be nepotism which is so stupid when the textbook definition of nepotism is "the practice among those with power or influence of favouring relatives, friends, or associates, especially by giving them jobs." Her dad has influence, a huge amount and the fact that she's just emerged out of nowhere with such high-level music videos and high-level production that I can guarantee was not just done on garageband, points to some kind of funding that didn't come from nowhere. And we can debate the whole "lana came from money" shit all day long but if you compare the beginning of Lana's career to the beginning of Remy's career it seems so inauthentic that I'm surprised anyone has took to her.
I do think that lot's of her fans are just basking in the "new artist" vibes and the prospect of discovering something niche and special that they can get cheap tickets to shows for and get to barrier as easy as anything. It seems to be very much "look at me I found something new!" rather than genuine appreciation.
Either way, that girl is signed to Warner Records (something that doesn't just happen in the space of eight months of making music) which just points to crazy connections and money that have put her in this extremely privileged position. Not to mention she's conventionally attractive which everyone knows is one of the most major advantages in the industry. I personally find it distasteful the way she uses the "trailer trash" aesthetic and pedals this narrative (that goes all the way back to the first ever tiktok she made where she was walking around a trailer park) that she doesn't come from wealth. Like, girl, say it with your chest, you're rich.
