Your annotated stan list (from childhood to now)

[rightofjupiter]

was thinking about my lineage of pop girlies that i've loved over the course of my life (constant form of support and pleasure) and then thought it'd be fun to make a stan list by age; would love to hear yours too!

 

added short notes for context when i thought of some and didn't say anything about lana because i've said it all over this form already)

 

was interesting to think about who dropped off since i was younger and who has stood the test of time (i would still call myself a tori amos stan even though i almost never like the new music i hear and never listen to it more than a few times, whereas fiona apple has been serving nonstop bangers from my teen years to my nearly-middle aged ones). there are also bands i was OBSESSED with at one point and now could literally not give less of a shit about re new work (sleater kinney is one of those for me).

amy grant (the only christian music in my entire lifelong stan list)

marilyn manson (sigh)

Ok early life I wasn’t “into music”

Like I loved a song called white wing dove on the radio, I liked 4 minutes by Madonna, And 80s rock like Cinderella.

 

Probably around 16 when I started working I got really into Fleetwood Mac/Stevie, Aqua, Justice, Depeche Mode, Britney & Madonna. Liked other artists-But those are like the major.

 

LANA & FLORENCE…

I started getting into Grimes, Siouxsie & The Banshees, Allie X, Tove Lo, Charli XCX, Zella Day “even though at first I considered her a Lana knockoff”, I realized Taylor Swift wasn’t manufactured.

NIN, Eminem, Nicki, Lil Kim, Rihanna, St. Vincent.

 

Pandemic,

I got into Lady Gaga, Nirvana “actually a lot of 90s like grunge”, Dishwalla, The future Mrs. DeadSeaOfMercury - You know her as Dula Peep.

 

But now I’ve always been into Synth/Synthpop/Wave

Like Eurythmics & Prodigy.

 

Charlies Angels Full Throttle is the greatest soundtrack ever…

EDIT:

I think I’ll need to rewrite this with like age groups…

[GeminiLanaFan]

Childhood: I was raised in French, so my faves were all French-singing acts like Julie Masse and Les BB (and fuck they were bad). I also loved the oldies my father listened to, on the radio, especially songs that made it to movies like Pretty Woman and Unchained Melody.

teenage: there was a lot of divas: Mariah, Celine, Whitney… (yep I’m gay). There was also the grunge - alt acts of those times like Oasis, Alanis…

20s: Radiohead was my initiation to alternative music. Placebo, Coldplay, Muse, Indochine followed. Sinatra was also a big part of my 20s. Adele was also a big part of the end of that decade. I really got into Madonna in those 10 years (early stuff and music she released back then). I also loved Arcade Fire back then, Destiny’s Child and Beyoncé.

Lemme just say no doubt are pop music legends

[Trash Magic]

Whew this really got me thinking

 

Childhood:

Britney Spears – The Britney album cover and Everytime single art probably started my album art obsession 

Nelly Furtado – I think my earliest memory is I’m Like A Bird playing in a shopping mall. I still request that song every time there’s a live singer at a bar ?

Vanessa Carlton – I remember always calling her “Piano woman” cause of the thousand miles music video

Kelly Clarkson – The Breakaway album is probably the first album I loved front to back

Avril Lavigne – Complicated music video on constant rotation on MTV is another one of my earliest memories 

Eminem – Vividly remember getting the Business CD single

Good Charlotte

Simple Plan

 

Early teens
Lady Gaga – My real first all-in stan moment. The single art, the music videos, the performances. So all encapsulating. The Fame: Part One video was my favourite thing ever 

Lana Del Rey – Something shifted. Shit’s about to get real weird. Lana was the catalyst into being a real music fan and discovering older stuff.

Teens

Lissie – Probably the only artist I discovered through old school music channels. When I’m Alone music video on VH1

Kings of Leon

Kanye West – Yeezus release prompted me to listen to his entire discography. Had me in a chokehold thought he was the coolest. Haven’t listened to anything since TLOP and think he’s a loser now

Azealia Banks – Fantasea still sounds ahead of its time. Will always ride for her

Jay Z

Beyonce

Adele

 

Twenties

Dua Lipa – Soundtrack to my real formative years

Fleetwood Mac

Stevie Nicks

Leon Bridges

John Mayer

Jeff Buckley – Has become like my idol

Bruce Springsteen

Father John Misty

Lucinda Williams

Miley Cyrus – Would probably class as my favourite artist rn. That voice come on and her style and energy is just so electric

 

My current obsession is Robyn for some reason. Never listened to her before but the Honey album is hitting

[fishtails]

Early Childhood:

I didn't really stan anyone or really know that much about music other than what my parents played lol but I remember in particular they had one Celine Dion CD that I loved to play

 

Between the ages of like 8 to 11:

My parents only let me listen to things like Radio Disney and that meant I loved Hilary Duff, Aly & AJ, Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana etc.

 

12 - 15:

At this point I was trying to branch out and listen to other music, I think I got an iPod touch around this time that let me go on the internet/YouTube and I really liked whatever was popular at that time, Ke$ha, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Shakira, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears etc.

 

15 - 18:

I finally started stanning some artists! Specifically Marina and the Diamonds lol I also really liked Natalia Kills and Florence + The Machine

 

19 - 24/present day:

My top artists now are Lana obviously lol, Charli XCX, and Marina

I still like FATM and I discovered Allie X during these years as well

 

I guess Marina is the artist I've listened to for the longest time
