    Hello, so I had a thread like this when I was HBHBHB but I can't find it and it was time for a new one so here goes.
     
    Here's something I've been working on, it's a poster for Heroin inspired by the psychedelic art/posters of the 70s. It's my first time doing something like this so hopefully in the future I can improve lol

    totally love this! your interpretation really fits-- lana seems to enjoy probing into all the ins and outs of fame in her songs, so this definitely resonates.
     
    I've always thought Pin-Up Galore said a lot about how fame is such a double-edged sword, due to some smart wordplay in the song:
     
    in the first verse, "everybody's laughing" and "the crowd is cheering"-- energy is high, everyone seems to be having fun; even the performer, who feeds off positive reactions.
     
    by the second verse, this has changed to "all the men are watching" and "the crowd is screaming"-- in contrast, these words carry darker connotations-- now, the men are singled out, and I've always felt that "watching" gives such a detached air to it-- the relationship between crowd and performer is no longer mutualistic or give-and-take, it's predatory, and parasitic-- the men are observing, watching, scrutinizing this female figure, who's no longer in on the enjoyment. she's an object that they're staring down. then, while a "screaming" crowd could still be positive in some instances, the shadow over that previous phrase makes this feel dark to me, too-- are they screaming out of joy, or out of fear/horror? is the performer breaking down or growing paranoid or frantic in some way that frightens them? maybe their reaction is both-- they're terrified by what they're seeing, but they also enjoy the spectacle, no matter how gruesome the display-- they won't try to stop what's playing out.
     
    those lines always strike me as her saying that the relationship between a singer (or any performer) and their audience is so delicate-- mutual respect and appreciation can create a positive, enjoyable atmosphere; but it's far too easy for the audience to forget that the singer is human-- they become something inhuman, "not of this world", and standards for their act and behavior are raised accordingly-- so, they don't get treated as human, either. they're held under a constant magnifying glass, as anything from a sexual object to be ogled ("the men are watching") to a living freakshow when they fall and make human error ("the crowd is screaming")-- everyone can see that something is wrong, the performer is struggling-- but, as a performer, the audience believes that even their missteps belong to the world for entertainment. all of life becomes a show when you're famous.
     
    anyway, I think this is all eerily evocative of what Lana began facing (and is still facing) once she became famous-- that constant scrutiny by her worldwide audience, the objectification, the love that can just as quickly turn to backlash when she slips-- it's like she knew what was coming. fame excited her, but she was also aware of what it could do to you.
     
    or, i'm reading too much into it. who knows

    This fucking legend.. To think in the beginning she was so dismissive of her early efforts to now be deliberately directing us to it talking about old songs etc.

    I think the revival of this account has something to do with the whole unreleased mixtape thing

    I'm honestly so shook, I seriously can't believe she's using her old account. This era she is NOT playing, she is truly doing it for the fans. Love you forever Lana
