She's 16 and she realises no one else defines who she is. Lorde seems like a conscious teenager. What's the problem? 'You're young, so shut up. You aren't entitled to an opinion, nor are you allowed to express yourself.' That's basically the vibe 80% of y'all give off.

Well, duh. Nicki isn't promoting the use of drugs.

Lorde is such an intelligent girl. She truly doesn't care about the general view of sometimes, she cares about the MUSIC.

The critics agree with LORDe.

I don't see any SLAMMING going on, just an opinion on lyrics. She's free to have an opinion, just like Lana was free to write a Gaga diss track The responses in this thread make it sound like she went on an Azealia-level tirade

Its too soon. Release an album first.

Hey rbautz ! And why do I have a plus next to my name

And yes it is haha but I just woke up :P.

Anyways Lorde just best not come for Birdy or else we are gonna have problems .

It's not an age issue, lol. She's just coming off as pretentious in the process for a lot of people. And my opinion isn't just based on this specific quote.

Well Lorde is a clone of Lana which is why she's dissing the Queen. Let Royals die down and then she can go somewhere. God I hate her.

Pure Heroine, in stores September 30th

CLOCK HA, lordT!

I really don't think it has anything to do with Lana being a woman who's nothing without her man, it's just about generally being so in love with someone you feel like nothing without them. I don't think that's particularly unhealthy compared to a lot of other music around at the moment. I doubt she's ever been in the situation Lana is writing about.

That's not what I'm saying.

But what she said was silly - Lana Del Rey is just writing about how she felt in a relationship or after a relationship, which can be a natural response to a person's absence in your life, and Lorde is making it out that Lana shouldn't express those feelings because it's a negative influence on the young people of today? Like, what kind of nonsensical mess?

I mean, if someone ten years older than her said that, I'd still tell them to grow up.

Neither do the virgins of ATRL who think LDR's stuff is so "romantic" and whimsical.

LOL @ the comments in here. You would think Lana Del Rey was some established diva, when she's barely out of the "internet only celebrity" category only because of that 'Summertime Sadness' remix.

Bitch you got moderate success, don't get ahead of yourself especially when your lyrics could be written by a 13 year old.

Lana can write the way she wants, it's the freedom of expression...

A MESS, gimme a break, music is about everything, including heartache, anyone sings and writes about whatever they want.

Btw, Lana >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Basically

This is why I hate the bitch.
