She also seems proud to have found out that BTD was huge on tumblr, as if that isn’t considered to be general knowledge by now. 8 Quote LB DEMOGRAPHICS SURVEY 2024 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The song isn't even about Brooklyn itself 11 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The issue is that she wasn't just critical of Lana, she was hateful and ridiculous, and now she's released a hypocritical follow up praising Lana and pretending that other critics just don't get her sometimes. 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coloringbooks 14,207 Posted January 28, 2022 The "my boyfriends are rappers" was a stupid thing to say and I can see why QFTC could be taken the wrong way... but the Brooklyn Baby criticism was one of the most bizarre things I've ever heard I have no idea how anybody could unironically complain about that 5 Quote i want my blood to rush, i'm crushing for your touch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rosemeadexclusivebbnewyorkcity 2,812 Posted January 28, 2022 Reading some of these anniversary articles... they've really learned nothing like damn. Why is it that so many of her fans just immediately get what B2D is all about, but so many professional writers get it wrong over and over again? Is it because the themes of submission and mania are too sticky to address directly? Do they still think she's being ironic? Because the only ironic song in B2D is "Lucky Ones" which is ironically happy. From day one Lana has insisted that she does not have a persona and means what she says and says what she means. But all these harebrained journalists are too busy with their heads up their asses to consider one of best pop albums of all time a serious endeavor. Such a shame. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Such a shame. adding onto your point (i agree w/ it btw just for clarification) - i know lana has said that b2d/paradise isn't a persona but that doesn't necessarily mean it's not fictional she can write from a genuine place while it also not being autobiographical 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
