So the Almighty Metacritic has spoken His final word. After months of endless threads about Lana's "real music" (from many of the same members who complained about
21 being hailed as "real music"
), what are Lana stans' thoughts on her Metacritic score?
Don't tell me Metacritic doesn't matter, not after every stanbase constantly uses it to boast and bash. Not after every stanbase refreshes it like mad whenever their fave releases an album. Not after Lana stans said her Metacritic score was coming to **** on so-and-so.
Don't give me any reductive, Gaga-esque "critics are bullies" responses. Lord knows every female artist suffers the slings and arrows of the press. Beyonce's pregnancy being just one of numerous examples.
Don't tell me you don't care and still love her music, because that's not what I'm asking. What I'm asking is: what are your thoughts on Lana's score, after snobbishly and repeatedly telling us that her real, gimmick-free music would make her the critical darling of the year and help her sweep next year's Grammys?
I hope Lana stans don't shy away from this thread, not after the way they stormed the forum discussing every step she took.
