She never decided nor dictated that everyone should deem Lana's music 'unhealthy'. It was her take on it. Think of it, she's a young girl. She has the perspective.
You have the right to disagree because... you know.. you're entitled to an opinion, like everyone else is.
She is talking about her music; she's talking about the people she listened to who influenced her sound. She listened to Lana because she herself listens to hip-hop. Is it really that hard to comprehend? We live in a postmodern framework - absolutely nothing is new. What
seems new is merely an appropriation of someone else's work, which is why artists have to reference other people in describing their own music.
