She's the only indie girl that really owns her persona. People really think she's this narcissistic rich sadistic bitch who chases older men, and maybe she is, nobody knows. It's the mystique that draws people to her. Nobody is here for that weak Marina "~ironic~" nonsense.
Ambient? Born to Die was trip hop-pop with lyrics about being a depressed rich girl and *that* image. The combo of that music with that image is what people copied, and no one was doing it before Lana.
I'd be more inclined to agree if the sound of the people who "copied" her's music also took on a cinematic tone.
Otherwise, it's misrepresentative to say that people copied her purely on the basis of incorporating trip hop and "sad" lyrics(?). Lol
let's all take a moment
