She's really not above pop culture at all, as much as she'd like to believe otherwise.
e: I'm not putting her in the same boat as alleged paedophiles at all but am more so referencing her profressed aversion to conformism.

I agree.
I personally think Marina is struggling with who she is as a musician success-wise. She makes great pop music (even though I think her music fizzles out after some time) and she is seeing little to no recognition for it outside of Tumblr, music forums, and the internet.
Like when she came for Nicki that one time, she just couldn't believe that someone like Nicki Minaj, a black female rapper, could find extraordinary success so quickly on a worldwide level with rather basic sounding pop music while she (Marina) is struggling to make it big in the UK with her own music that she finds insightful, clever, etc.
I didn't take her comment on Nicki seriously for that reason. It's obvious that she is hurting and she is coping by belittling others who don't "deserve" (in her eyes) the success that they have.
That's just in my opinion, of course. I'm sure my conclusions might come off as crazy to some of her diehard fans, something I used to be. I wish Marina the best tho.
But hey, she made Electra Heart "ironically" so I guess it's okay.
