Rorman Nockwell 56,723 Posted May 26, 2020 "certain alternative singers".... who is she referring to... I think it's Lorde, and I do not think it's a coincidence that she posted the og typewritten post the day after Lorde sent her newsletter (which incidentally, name dropped Jack). It generated a lot of publicity, and I think it might've triggered Lanz for reasons that aren't entirely clear. What color is her hair from those videos...I cant judge ? Looks blonde at the front. I don't think she's dyed her roots, and is just letting her natural colour grow in. 7 Quote ur legit gonna look the same stop buying oil of Olay face cream Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PARADIXO 32,943 Posted May 26, 2020 That’s about lorde?? Where did my quote go in your signature? Kk Fucked My Way is not about Lorde. Aren't y'all tired of that story And before y'all quote me with a link, yes she said something that sounded like she meant it was for Lorde, but come on read the lyrics And she explained the actual meaning a few years later... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mkultraviolence 5,832 Posted May 26, 2020 That’s about lorde?? Where did my rant go in your signature? Jk jk i think generally the fanbase considers it a Lorde diss track, but personally i don't think so. and i thought her "i'm a glamorous person" was dramatic and interesting. your quote was good too though and i have it saved in a list of possible signatures if i ever feel like putting it back later. i like making quotes that i find funny or dramatic by users on here my signature. i've made many dramatic posts, too. it's bound to happen on a forum like this 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

takeitdoen 10,627 Posted May 26, 2020 I am so sure she is mostly talking about Kim Gordon. "The extract read: “Today we have someone like Lana Del Rey, who doesn’t even know what feminism is, who believes women can do whatever they want, which, in her world, tilts toward self-destruction, whether it’s sleeping with gross old men or getting gang raped by bikers. Equal pay and equal rights would be nice. Naturally, it’s just a persona. If she really truly believes it’s beautiful when young musicians go out on a hot flame of drugs and depression, why doesn’t she just off herself?” https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nme.com/news/music/kim-gordon-3-1206795%3famp 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ultra Violet 18,985 Posted May 26, 2020 Forgive me if this has already been posted and talked about here. I don't know how I missed it. I'm feeling for her. I think the problem is that she, having white privilege and class privilege, doesn't have the instinct to think about the multi-faces of feminism before she talks about it. She talks from her position of privilege, but it doesn't mean she has everything. That might make her think that not having everything (not having full acceptance in the 'culture') is on the same level as the need for many more serious issues in equality and unfortunately this came out at the wrong time. It's such a shame. I really want Lana to have a voice. She's had no success asking to be heard fairly. As a feminist myself, I'm not even sure how we can fix this. Maybe she just has to fix it herself. In this video she only semi-appologised and tried to make up for it by sharing the knowledge she DOES have, without admitting there are things she is yet to understand and that she should try to, in order to understand the response she received. It's still a tricky situation. She is not racist period. She IS privileged and she should make the room to learn about it. She needs some teachers. Why doesn't she ask the singers she listed to help her out? 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Llamadelgay 88 Posted May 26, 2020 Kim Gordon, Maura Johnston, Lorde and recently Ann Powers to name a few. All female artists/writers that have in some ways criticized Lana over the years. Lorde seemed like she was digging at certain acts when Royals (or her debut album came out in general) came out anyways. Like she was the anti-Ariana and wanted to secure that. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
West Coast 45,795 Posted May 26, 2020 Lorde seemed like she was digging at certain acts when Royals (or her debut album came out in general) came out anyways. Like she was the anti-Ariana and wanted to secure that. I feel like based on what she said 'Royals' was like a counter reaction to the lavish and, for a lack of a better word, "vapid" imagery and message Lana conveyed in 'National Anthem'. But she also criticized Lana's overall lyricism, which Lana very much alluded to in her letter to the "culture". 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I forget she even made an album after heroine, tbqh 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not that we have to, since we aren't even involved, but Lana herself- how she can improve her situation now (the one which arose from the initial post) Can someone let me know, who is perhaps active in the insta or Twitter replies, did the situation drag on enough for... Perhaps ... Philip Defranco to cover? Jk I'd have a fucking heart attack. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kim comes from the era of when Courtney Love was seen as feminist. I can’t say what feminism is and isn’t but Courtney isn’t on my list. Idk I feel like the 90s riot grrrls think they’re the shit when hardly anyone can and could name Kim, Courtney, Kathleen Hanna, etc as pioneer feminists.. Their fame is limited and, in their minds, bigger than it is. TBH, kim is name dropping someone to slightly coattail off of a new act because she knows she needs headlines to gain relevancy. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
