V Magazine (Cover + Interview with Stevie Nicks) - July 6th, 2017 [Print]
Stargirl replied to Elle's topic in New Interviews
Here's an article on how sad music actually induces pleasant emotions http://journal.frontiersin.org/article/10.3389/fpsyg.2013.00311/full A quote from the article: "Our results showed a significant two-way interaction between key and musical emotion in tragic, romantic, and blithe emotion. Post-hoc analyses revealed that although the sad music was perceived as more tragic, the listeners did not actually experience the tragic emotion (e.g., gloomy, meditative, and miserable) to an equivalent degree. Moreover, the participants felt more romantic emotion (e.g., fascinated, dear, and in love) and blithe emotion (e.g., merry, animated, and feel like dancing) than they perceived such emotions when listening to the sad music." Therefore, I'm in agreeance with many users on here that sort of reject this idea of pushing false positivity in a world of "darker times", as Lana herself puts it. She's not in a position where she can affect actual change in the world (or, if she is, she's not exerting this force. And no, turning words to birds doesn't count). Her listeners are naturally drawn to darker themes because they, like many fans of similar artists, want to feel singers empathize with their pain, not hold a lofty position above the rest of the world (in the H of the Hollywood sign, for instance) where they simply observe negative events and comment on how we pions below should keep a positive outlook. If she wants to make a social commentary rather than simply being an opportunist, she needs to start using her position of wealth and power relative to the average member of the population to make a difference, in my opinion. And she's not obligated as a celebrity to do any of these things, but the fact that she is profiting off of the negative turn of world events without giving anything net in return to make a difference is disconcerting and leaves a sour taste. -

Alright I feel like I've missed fucking everything today which is usually a blessing except shit actually happened today but 1. How do we know it comes out on the 29th? 2. Was the cover literally in Shazam or soundhound why did they have it so early kfdsjfkasjdf 3. Are the lyrics on Genius real? I noticed that they updated but they sound dumb (although so does summer bummer) 4. Who discovered it? I'm recruiting them for my lab

anal cured lana's depression

I'll be honest, her singing voice isn't even that amazing. Which is all the more reason to break away from this archetypical character that her and Titanic are playing out. It doesn't belong enough to her. She's definitely creative, and her voice is above average, but she's not distinctive enough to pull this off for long (and neither are Titanic's talents, honestly).

I want slutty depression Lana back. I want her music to give me daddy issues not democratty issues

I mean, I don't know if this helps but when I first read the lyrics to some of Allie X's new songs I thought they were fake because they sounded so lame But since I've heard the songs, they've become some of my favorites Wait it out.
