SarcasticBeauty Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Am I the only one who think the song is about Lana herself? It was my first thought during my first listening Art Deco. Maybe not exactly cause Lana often put to the lyrics some real own experience but also a little bit art and imagination. To me this song it's about young Lana/Lizzy singing in the clubs and trying to make her musical dreams come true. And "you're so art deco" means she payed attention to her appearance and this look help her in career. "you're so ghetto" means to me she was diffrent than most of musicians in music label and her singing style. She was outsider. (Sorry for my english, hope you know what I mean) Cant be about her. IT can be about a character she made up tho. But Lana wouldnt describe herself as ghetto because in what ways was she every ghetto? stop. 0 Quote
Atom Heart Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 um she represented it at a symbol of freedom in the video? You make it sound like she threw it on the ground, stomped it, set it on fire and then threw it in a lake. Their culture is based upon equality and love. I'm not so sure they'd be mad about some white girl giving her respect towards them.Goodbye. You literally can't see the fact that it's racist? She doesn't have to disrespect it. And it's not like she consulted Native American cultural centers and got approved use by them (which is actually a thing). 10 Quote
LastWordsNTime Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 To me the song is basically Carmen the Sequel. People did not start stirring up the shitter when that song came out so I think everyone should just calm down and enjoy the song 4 Quote
Wild One Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 inb4 the FaceTime Lana just published was a big explaination to AB. (That's why she looked sad) 1 Quote
t-raider26 Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 It's not even a negative song. It seems to me like its about someone who's misunderstood, and Lana relates to whoever she's singing about in that sense. 4 Quote

Poor Stacy Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 You weird fags thinking lana gives a shit about your flop Tumblr dissertations & being politically correct has me cracking up. She doesn't give a fuck. So shut up. Ghetto. 1 Quote
Divisive Princess Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 A lot of mixed people are confused af. And obviously you're one of them. Depends on the side you were around the most. You need to get cultured sweetheart because your unwoke ass is very annoying and wishy-washy. Learn yourself. Appropriation is alive and well, and you're trying to sound like you're white and like you dont know. You black and that's what EVERYONE is going to see. You're mixedness wont get you far. Just saying. Know yaself. Uh, this is a little rude. I don't think it's fair to comment on a race that you're not and tell someone that they're confused because of their race. It doesn't depend on what side you're around the most; it depends on the values that were instilled in you as a child. 3 Quote

Coney Island King Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 some of you really need to stop talking sbout lana like you know her. the song meaning is nothing but speculation for all of us, all of you talking about her people and what personalities they have like you know lol 6 Quote
wittycatchphrase Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Goodbye. You literally can't see the fact that it's racist? She doesn't have to disrespect it. And it's not like she consulted Native American cultural centers and got approved use by them (which is actually a thing). It's not worth it. These kids (I'm convinced they're teenagers because if they're adults God help us all) will just twist what you say because they think you're attacking their fave. The lack of education here is pathetic. 12 Quote

Kommando Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 lmao people are still pressed by the Ride thing ? The native crown was more of an inspiration from the 60s bikers/roots rock culture, which are the ones who picked different elements from american history to create their aesthetic an modernize them as well with the 70s heartland rock and patriotism imagery. I mean I'm not even american and I read this fuckin essays on natives and stuff that's not rocket science. More than anything, it makes her look cheap with such obvious references, but I don't see how some people can compare this with blackface singers... 1 Quote

Rude as it may be it's the truth. But I'm not here to give a lesson on waking up an recognizing the differences. Google and Black Tumblr are here for a reason. 2 Quote

FROGGO Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 This forum is the worst whenever topics like racism and cultural appropriation (and feminism) come up. Fucking hell there are some idiots on this forum. 10 Quote you're so art froggo, out on the pond…
MonsterGod Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Lana should wear a burqa with a war bonnet in her next video. I think she would look hot af. 1 Quote
