Flowerbomb Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 I can understand both sides of this argument tbh. On one hand, I can see how certain things can be disrespectful and distasteful. I understand that not everything has to be controversial in order to be seen as exciting by audiences. There are some things that shouldn't be done in the pop culture, but on the other hand... If Lana were to show Sylvia's death scene, wouldn't it also in a way bring awareness to suicide? For people to really see how far depression can take you? I mean sure, there are other ways to bring awareness, but music brings in a LOT of people, thus more people will pay attention it. So idk...I'm very conflicted about it. 4
Blue Velvet Crowbar Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 LEAVE LFL ALONE The most problematic thing Lana has ever done was releasing the mess that is "Coachella - Woodstock On My Mind" & "Tomorrow Never Came" 1
TrashMagiq Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 Like, I agree that a cover with her head in the oven would be too much, but if she did a recreation of the death of Sylvia Plath in a non graphic way like she did in the National Anthem video with the JFK assassination, I see nothing wrong with it.. 1
Terrence Loves Me Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 Lana fans when Lana perfectly depicted the shooting of the American president on national TV and read out Jackey Kennedy's love letter all for an aesthetic and cool music video concept: Lana fans if Lana perfectly depicts the death of a slightly unknown poet 60 years ago 14
loleetah Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 Lana fans when Lana perfectly depicted the shooting of the American president on national TV and read out Jackey Kennedy's love letter all for an aesthetic and cool music video concept: Lana fans if Lana perfectly depicts the death of a slightly unknown poet 60 years ago .....Sylvia is not even close to being an unknown poet sis she's world renowned for her writing. If you're gonna make a comment like this at least know what you're talking about 9
poetic jess Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 Here’s the thing, Lana wouldn’t disrespect Sylvia by putting her “head in an oven” just to stir drama when she’s been working on editing herself down since 2014. She didn’t show the graphic images of the assasination scene in the National Anthem video, and the worst we’ve seen during that era was the ending of the BTD music video, the ending of Blue Jeans, and the jumping off scenes in Summertime Sadness. She could’ve kept the original video for UV, but she didn’t because who knows? Maybe she thought the original went too far, maybe her managers convinced her it wasn’t the right move for her career and the backlash would get worse. She even removed the “drowning” scene in Shades of Cool, yet it’s one of her best music videos. Anyway, she hasn’t spoken up any regret for these kinds of decisions. Usually it’s for moments she said she should’ve thought more of what she was putting out there. Not putting effort in visuals is lazy. But so is being controversial for the sake of being controversial. That’s not deep or entertaining. 8

lustforlife Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 Most of the artistic soul of the artists are dead because of the high careful that they have to take to write anything without hurt no1 1 Lust For Dead
sweetie Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 when she was singing about being abused and enjoying it, it fascinated me. Its art. Life isnt about playing it safe and by the rules, its about being daring and courageous and making people think. Its better to shock people than to bore people Yeah, I also remember being an edgy teenager seeking thrills from provoking others. Luckily I've moved on from that. 10
