Escapism

You know you're a LDR fan when... you pretend to be interested in jazz, older men, paganism, SpaceX, the golden age of Hollywood and Nina Simone in a pathetic attempt to make yourself seem more aligned to her because you're young, lack a sense of self and think plagiarizing the interest of an artist you like is the only way you'll ever be able to find self love    

Honestly, though, when CB first came out I adored the album, it was new, fresh, and something different. However, I did overplay it and most of the songs got tiring, however, I still respected the album and was one of my favorite releases of 2015. But over time,  the whole thing became stale. 
The videos became disappointing and repetitive:The Pre-CB release videos are my favorites of hers. I don't know what it is about them that does it,  but it just pleases me to watch them. But after that: it's just like eat sum baby food, smile really weirdly into the camera for dramatic effect, im crazy!!! (even in scenes where it doesnt make lots of sense???), and this goes for songs too but the thing she does with swearing makes it seem really tryhard like in alphabet boy and crybaby 'woah im using the f word!!!' idk. those are some of the things that erk me...
The fandom has also gotten really...yikes... I mean, I'm not sure if it's because I didn't pay lots of attention to the fanbase pre-CB release but it's become really noticeable. I don't know how to explain it, because I'd be generalizing, but it's basically those people who are like "im so emo i listen to melanie martinez and TOP, real music!!!!!" or those tryhard tumblr tots who are doing their best to be "aesthetic" and "pastel grunge". Of course, that's not the entire fanbase, but it's the part that I've seen standout the most during the past year and it kinda causes me to wanna just avoid being associated with the fanbase.
 
Anyways, sorry for the messy rant it's just some thoughts. I know it probably seems like I hate her, I don't,  I just want the CB era to be over at this point.

tbh all i want is to be able to preorder the box set, hoping it's fucking beautiful but not expecting it after the hm box set wasn't even vinyl

She should keep up the car theme and have a cover of her running over all the gays that leaked her shit 

Ummm yeah what is this

i guess I don't rewatch the UV vids enough tbh I almost always watch National Anthem if I need a heavy dose of Lana visuals (and it's a song I don't listen to that much--I listen to UV almost every day, but the visuals for it aren't that memorable to me besides the cover shoot tbh)

You repulse me 
 
This is exactly how I feel. Like "2012 tumblr flower crowns" has nothing on melanie's fanbase. The swearing thing too, like girl, we know you aren't 7 years old IRL, it isn't shocking, even as an aesthetic contrast.I do think CB was one of the most interesting mainstream releases of 2015, but I really do believe she can top it. 

And what's worse is that we most likely will be getting CB 2.0 

I'm kind of excited for the Mad Hatter video but at the same time I feel like she might overdo the "I'M CRAZY" mindset, I understand it's apart of the character and it's supposed to be exaggerated but like yikes (looking at the perfume milk commercial and alphabet boy). It just seems super tryhard sometimes, i guess and I don't see the point of it being used as often as it is which is probably why I dislike it sometimes. 
I do hope that she goes down the American Mcgee Alice route if she wants to make it creepy, I think it could really work.

I like when she sings *slightly* off-key on UV and her voice breaks a little bit

She should have released mad hatter video last year if she really thinks of releasing new album this year. What a mess

Never have I seen someone exploiting an era for so long

She does strike me as an anxious introvert. Tbh none of the "bitchy" stuff is anything that would be out of character for me personally, so I have to give her a pass, even if she might look a lil shady once in a while 
 
That airport vid is still the best thing on the internet

I think what can explain why she's cutting so many people out of her life is the fact that she changes her entourage very often. She has her periods when she hangs out with the same people, but after some months or a year we see other people appearing on pictures. By looking at her candids, you can easily notice that. I guess she just don't let many people enter her life and when she discovered their persona she isn't interested anymore? She's happy with her close friends and family and she seems to be an introvert, so she isn't interested to have many people around her. I guess she isn't that kind of person who will call someone and ask how they are, she waits for others to do it, maybe that's why many people are "complaining" about her being silent and disappearing. I can be completely wrong, but that's how I see it, it's not bitchy to me.

perhaps Lana is like me and has anxiety issues.
like someone messages me. I get anxiety about how to reply. I leave the message to deal with it later. And low and behold 2 months pass.
And the thought of having to message back after such an amount of time is just overwhelming. So you just leave it at that.
 
you know in relation to the whole Woodkid thing.

I really just want to rant about the misogyny behind the word bitch and how degrading and annoying it is when men use it and the internalized misogyny women deal with in regards to how they're expected to react with friendships ending with other women... but I'm eating cheesecake and listening to MØ so just imagine this is a 10 paragraph rant. Thanks. 

Eclipse and his squad of twinks who keep leaking ldr5 songs
 

to me:
 
BTD/PA- Hip-hop inspiration, lots of samples drawing between, orchestral sounds. I'm Poppy. One word that can define this album for me is "overproduced", in a dichotomous manichaeism way
ULTRA- Surf rock from 60's, psychedelic, soft rock. No much fuzz from orchestra. Very stripped back, except some tracks like Old Money and Black Beauty
HONEY- Jazzy, trip-hop (Salvatore beat is obv trip-hop, very Massive Attack), jazz orchestra reminding me Chet Baker stuff. Some inspiration from trap music. A bit of both last albums are in this
 
So what do you think we can expect from this new record?

Why does she say "heck" that's so awkward

Ultraviolence and Honeymoon are great names compared to stuff like ARTPOP and Dangerous Woman dont come for me i love ari and gaga but...

new manip

I'm a whore because I just listened to it. It's giving me UV/SIRENS vibe and I just..........
