That to me though, does in no way mean Lana Del Rey is revolutionary nor do I think anyone plagiarizes her as people are insinuating with this Taylor Swift nonsense. Its just an extension of people trying to knock Taylor down a peg which im not exactly opposed to, but this whole "Lana is original" thing that ive been hearing for 3 damn years is so annoying. I saw someone say im pressed and in a way I am, I think her stans are annoying and delusional themselves and no one really acknowledges it. They're like 2010 monsters except more lowkey.

Lana is a mixture of many influences, same as Madonna. People make Madonna comparisons all the time, that doesn't mean she invented pop or everything she's done is original. People are free to pull from the past just as much as Madonna or Lana have done, there's so much that isn't in the forefront. But they don't, they take the easy way out and get it spoon-fed to them like people have been doing with Lana's own aesthetic for years now.
