That's part of being a songwriter, it's a form of storytelling at its very core. Did Charles Dickens grow up in an orphanage? Was Carol Lewis a little girl who fell down a rabbit hole? Artists are allowed to create something. That's the whole point.
This fake, ridiculous notion of "authenticity" has ruined people's ability to appreciate music.

I'm sorry but the only thing that would make Lana's "**** me harder, biological daddy" schtick interesting would be if it were actually real.
Furthermore, she genuinely
tries to sell her authenticity. So do her fans. So don't run around saying "ugh she doesn't have to be authentic" when her authenticity is a lynchpin in her career.
Manufacturing some suicidal trailer-park diva isn't interesting or notable, as I've already said. Her constructing a character doesn't make her songwriting good, it just makes her songwriting different.
Lykke Li fans should get into her!
