I love the "NFR!" stylization

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand How to Disappear. The meaning is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of the struggles of alcoholism most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Lana's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into her characterisation- her personal philosophy draws heavily from the Despicable Me franchise, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of the jingle bells, to realise that she's not just deep- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike How to Disappear truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the meaning in Lana's defining line "this is how to disappear" which itself is a cryptic reference to Radiohead's 4th track on Kid A "How To Disappear Completely". I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Elizabeth Grant's genius wit unfolds itself into their headphones. What fools.. how I pity them. 

 

And yes, by the way, i DO have a How to Disappear tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the twinks' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel f*g

 

 

omg lana signed my wrist and i tattooed it, love it sm, lemme take a lewk ah

 

i quite like this post  though i warn you "preferably lower" may not work out

It's so heartwarming to see other singers praising NFR! I see at least one every day, and today I saw Sam Smith saying the album is stunning

Me, an intellectual, reading how people roast each other's tastes on LB after a long day 

[baddisease 17,938]

I already saw Camila Cabello, Charli XCX, Troye Sivan and Sam. This is really. She came through!

@@Elle I loved reading your thoughts... It must suck that music can bring back bad memories for you (but also good I hope? )... 2017 was my worst year but luckily, LFL doesn’t bring me back to those moments. What I remember the best was the radio premiere of Summer Bummer and Groupie Love (I was cooking pasta while listening and chatting here on LB lol) and playing Heroin during winter when it was all dark outside and the moon was up.

You’re gonna get through this, I’m sure of it. Maybe there will always be a scar but I’m sure that brighter days will come back to you. <3
