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.
Her characters are constructed through her songwriting. Nothing else matters to me and shouldn't matter. It's all about the music.
Who gives a **** if her music doesn't represent her life or if it's something she came up with
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 totally agree - There's a difference between creating a presentation of yourself and being cooked up in an executives' boardroom.

The main problem in all of this is you are quick to think she's this pathological liar when who really knows what her past is? So because her dad was a dot com entrepreneur, she's rich and she hasn't lived in a trailer park? Are you ignoring the family dynamic in all of this? We don't exactly know the whole story in order to piece this all together, no one except her.
Don'tget what? That Gaga was also manufactured? Changed her whole style/image just to be heard? It happens all the time in music, nothing new or crazy to get uproar about.
Titty boi to 2chainz
Lizzy Grantto Lana Del Rey
Who f*cking cares as long as the music quality is there thats should all matters but no some (not you) people have to get political bout it..
The fact that the only good movies this year has been "X-Men: Days of Future Past"
and "Edge of Tomorrow." Le sigh. "Jurassic World" can't come soon enough.

you cant compare a singer to an author of fiction because the authors never once tried to play off any of those stories as their own personal life
Yes an artist can tell a story even if its not true to their life (Beyonce singing about Single Ladies but being married...hihi) but still...an artist is expected to bring themselves out in their work...hence why even Drake gets clowned for some of his lyrics (Started From The Bottom)
It's fake. They wouldn't have called her an icon..certainly not in 2012.
They wouldn't advertise a concert review on their cover.
They know the difference between "its" and "it's."
Plus Xtina, the Killers, etc? Plus what? It's not like it's a Hot list with Lana on the cover plus other hot artists. Not to mention that Xtina's full name is split into two lines while Nell's isn't...they would have kept it consistent.
