I’ve seen some people on here calling Venice Bitch Jack’s imitation of some songs off of UV (mainly WC or SoC) and while I can see the comparisons I don’t think I can really agree with the allegations (I literally think VB is more similar to TNC lol). Yes, all three are essentially neo-psychedelic/dream pop songs, but they’re all really different imo, especially because VB has aspects of progressive pop and its slowcore verses. Same genre (especially one of the most popular genres in music) /= imitation. And while I can enjoy the lyrics of WC and SoC, I’ve fallen in love with VB’s much more because of they just feel more intimate and less persona-y (I absolutely think WC is ethereal and it’s one of my top songs from her but I just can’t relate to it lol). I think both WC and SoC, because they’re shorter songs, have much more explosive sound while VB’s is more mellow because of its length. Different strokes from different folks, I just don’t think VB deserves any slander <//3    
 
speaking of progressive music, I think Lana needs to ditch ‘verse chorus verse bridge chorus’ structure. if not, i wish she would add more oomph to the final choruses (something like PWYC, TBD, VB, HEROIN, even HTD)

Lana when she's asked about this later:
 
 

was getting lowkey prepared for some hate but now you just made my day:) what's your favorite nfr song?

honestly not a big fan of her background singers in summertime and the live lmlylaw performance, i feel like they don't really work with her voice (i thought the audience was singing along in the live lmlylaw performance tbh ) . they're great in thunder though

i fully forgot the gay jack concert thing was happening today omg can't wait to feel empty inside when i wake up and see she performed LMLYLAW x Summertime medley and dipped

Today is gonna be such a disappointment for some people 
 
just remember to appreciate the performance for what it is and don’t get too upset when it’s a low key thing and nothing major happens 

no

A year ago today! ❤️ 
 
Can’t believe I randomly just woke up and thought, “I should watch the NFR! music video” not knowing it’s its anniversary! I remember exactly where I was - out on a snowy street and on a phone call with a friend. I got the notification on my phone, and got so excited I told my friend I had to go, and I stopped next to a vending machine just to watch the entire video. I remember something about it made me feel so nostalgic. ❤️ 

"Thank you, Jack. I've loved making these last couple of records with you and I can't wait for people to hear all of your beautiful new melodies soon. I wanted to perform something from the upcoming record, which is coming at the top of next year, but the band haven't had chance to rehearse any of the new material just yet, so I'm going to sing Blue Jeans for you all."

while I love WC I think Brooklyn Baby deserves some, if not more, love as well
 
I feel like it's not exactly hated on here, but I do wish HIADT got more love too. IMO it's one of the most melancholic, intimate, and lonely songs I've heard in general by any artist that honestly makes me uncomfortable at times (especially because she compares herself to Sylvia Plath, which is a really serious topic regarding mental health tbh). Everything flows so well lyrically and the piano is so minimal that her voice and lyrics as a singer/songwriter are what matter the most. I believe she did not have a song in her discography that was literally just about her sadness-but-not-sadness/depression/dysthymia(?) before HIADT (other than Is This Happiness [underrated as well!!], but that type of sadness is tied to another figure, whereas the sadness of HIADT seemingly stems from within), which maybe is why I'm so drawn to it.  

it makes me sad how much the franchise has basically fallen; literally all the sims games before 4 were really fun to play. i feel like 4 actually really had potential but so many features were left out of it and the expansion packs were really minimal compared to those of the previous games. i'm really hoping they fix stuff up for the sims 5 but i'm not holding my breath for EA.
