I’m curious to know what in Lana’s music that is appealing to kids that are about 10-12 years old, her lyrics and sound are far from what I liked when I was 10. I don’t think I’d even understand everything she’s singing about.

 

I genuinely believe a lot of kids like Lana because she's kinda their introduction to dark themes such as heartbreak, death, sadness, loneliness, drugs and alcohol... Also she portrays those topics in dramatic ways so preteens and teens love that. I was 13 when I became a fan.

All these children......what am I doing here?! I was TWENTY ONE when I discovered her in 2011 y'all are making me feel ANCIENT.

Amazingly 2012 has 30%. Surprisingly the amount of new fans is quite low. To be fair 2019 has nearly 10%.

Tbh I was really young but my mom used to play btd all the time when it came out and I loved it and listened to it all the time but I think I was too young to “stan” lol and I think I became a full fledged stan when lfl came out bc I then went back and listened to the rest of her discog and started to name her as my fave artist

I was in fifth Grade when i saw video games. At first i didn't really care about her, i remember thinking "what a sad song, what a sad ass singer", but i swear MTV played that damn song EVERY DAMN NIGHT i can't help but check her out, i ended up became a stan after watching Born to die MV and first songs from her that i played over and over again then were Video Games, Born To die & Dark Paradise

This thread reminded me that where's that thread called "how did you become a Lana fan" or something. Because I thought that I would like to tell my story

to think 11/12 year olds are soon gonna begin to stan this woman and they werent even born when btd was released…

 

i feel sick and old

My stepdaughter is 10 and does, she didn’t really have a choice in this house tho lol

 

i was also 15/16 at the release of BTD, 15 when video games made its internet debut.. I remember loving it and when it started getting radio play my cousin saying how it was just soooo depressing and I just sat there in silent disappointment.. things haven’t changed much through the entirety of my fandom, in my day to day life there seems to be very little people I’ve ever come across who also enjoy her music

Honeymoon came out and I fell in love. Wish I became a fan earlier, obviously.

I always look back to this fb post, because it just highlights how longs I’ve been in the fandom and just how young I was back then and where I am now. Lana has literally been with me through my whole journey of becoming a woman!

I look like such a baby! But it’s a whole 2012 vibe haha 

[wildflowerwildfire 6,727]

I've listened to her since 2014 but I didn't start buying her music and merch and actively following her until 2021

[Lake Placid 3,300]

i became a stan in 2021 and i am so ashamed of that, if only i listened more when i first heard video games in 2015

That’s crazy… If I even went to the cinemas back when BTD was out I was probably watching Peppa Pig The Movie

I’m an og Lana stan….but at what cost…..

[Embach 42,302]

But we're ignoring the real questions here: are there any fans here who knew Lana before 2011, like in 2010 or 2000s

It would’ve been so cool to see those early bar shows
