Nobody's pretending to like anything. People just have different tastes

Oh I think people pretend to like a lot of things but I mean if it’s your taste that’s making you enjoy a potato quality song about pedophilia then go off I suppose

yeah, can't possibly be that people like things that you don't. it has to be for edginess.

why are you so… brash about what other people enjoy?  a lot of her unreleased songs are decent quality for the fact they were recorded pre-fame & never got “finished” for an album, & some people can still enjoy songs which are “low quality” or “rough” because it’s ultimately about the songwriting, structure, & general vibe, it’s fine if you personally don’t care for those old demos, but trust me, we aren’t saying we like them just to be “edgy”

this isn't directed at u alone when i say it's totally normal to dislike/not vibe w something but it's a bit mean-spirited to in essence be like ur a fake phony psycho if u say u like that thing. like i promise u, someone out there hates whatever u love most in the world, and it doesn't make ur love any less real lol <3

This is such a bad take  Lana has so many gems in her unreleased music, and even some of the poorer quality ones are still fascinating to hear because they are such unique little glimpses into her creativity. People aren't pretending to like them to be cool. Maybe some people just like to hate on things and put other people's opinions down to seem "edgy"

I’m sure there is and like everyone replying to me I too wouldn’t give a crap about that opinion but this is literally a thread about unpopular opinions and everyone’s got so pressed about mine

i know exactly what this thread is and if u had just said her unreleased was shit that's a fair unpopular opinion to have but u sort of invite a response when u say:

i mean, you’re shitting on people who like something you don’t by saying they’re edgy & pretending, so i don’t get why you’re surprised we responded & didn’t like what you said, we’re allowed to have your opinions on your opinion lol  don’t even know why you’re so bothered about people liking old demos & unreleased tracks in the first place

Let me love you like a woman is the best song Lana has ever recorded

Is it really an opinion if your statement is determining whether something (if people truly enjoy her music) is factually accurate or not?

 

Sure, you feeling that the majority of Lana’s unreleased discography is mostly bad is an opinion, but stating that others only pretend to like it isn’t. You can dislike her unreleased music freely, but acting like other people can’t enjoy it is a bit nonsensical.
 

Music taste/quality is subjective. What’s garbage to you may be raw and honest expression to others, and what’s excellent to you may be pretentious, overly polished fluff to another.
 

Also, keep in mind that you can assert an opinion without reducing people’s enjoyment of art and without generalizing Lana’s unreleased discography as being pedophilic and “potato-quality.”

 

edit: Just to be clear, I’m sure the phenomenon you described can occur (and probably does to some extent), but the rest of your following posts were a bit unwarranted

anyway, aka remains one of her best & is a cult-classic staple

13 beaches may just be the single best song about the aftermath of rape

 

thinking about her 

[revadece 1,435]

blue banisters is one of her best songs  the beautiful ambience instrumental, the lyrics, everything about it is just so pure

[Deadly Nightshade 12,802]

Paradise is underrated..  it's one of her best summer songs

I love this thread because we’ll get something like this

From The End is kinda a bop and specifically For You. is that lana's gay anthem? "his man her man" and "be proud, come out"  yes maam, mama

Coachella, White Mustang, Summer Bummer and Groupie Love are some of my favorite tracks from Lust for Life, and they hit different every summer.
