BritneyJeanSpears Posted June 18, 2014 #1 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Lana Del Rey is pulling a Britney by not promoting her new single or album but yet is expected to sell 175,000 in her debut week for Ultraviolence. She hasn't been on the cover of magazines, no TV interviews in America, no performances of West Coast but yet still expected to have her best sales ever. Why is this??? #BuyUltraviolence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Just Want More Posted June 18, 2014 #2 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 But Britney had one magazine cover, so it's not exactly equal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashley Posted June 18, 2014 #6 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Two different places in their career If this was the oops era and britney did no promo. It no doubt would have still sold reasonably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallMeLavender Posted June 18, 2014 #7 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Because people are finally starting to appreciate her music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIRCUS Posted June 18, 2014 #8 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 And no i will not buy Ultrashit I don't even like Lana as a person, but her music is a fucking shit tbh :cody: I think people buy her record because that kind of music is very popular at the moment. not many people listen to pop/dance anymore... they're more into alternative music etc. same with fashion and other stuff... being "hipster" ; "vintage" or whatever is fucking popular now and her music fits it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, people only like her cause they think she's not mainstream but theyre making her popular which defeats the purpose. I liked her old music but now every song sounds the same. And i hate how her fans think that she's iconic and all, lets be real here nobody but her stans give a fuck about her. She's a dumbass too, did you hear about that "intergalactic possibilities" thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's a dumbass too, did you hear about that "intergalactic possibilities" thing? no, what do you mean? well, I never liked her music because alternative is not my cup of tea, but I really hate most of her fans. my old friend was a fucking big Lana stan and since she came out with her music and style, my friend started talking with me about death, pain, true love when she was only 14 lol. I don't know her lyrics or anything, but she seems to be a very pessimistic person and I don't like her as an artist... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I generally agree, not all who like alternative and indie music are shitty hipsters.. most hipsters don't like Lana because she's too mainstream anyways. UV is a great record and it's way better than BTD. God, can't people just like music for music anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omg dead at your friend my friend loves her too and actually said that the song Video Games reminded her of her 7th grade boyfriend which is fucking ridiculous Lana said that she's not really interested in feminism and that she would rather have people "explore our intergalactic possibilities" she has no fucking idea what she's saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UV is a great record and it's way better than BTD. God, can't people just like music for music anymore? yeah, but you can't deny that nowadays many people are trying to be like fucking hipsters... I don't say anything wrong about them, but they're trying so hard to be original and Lana is not like any other mainstream singer in their opinion. I think "real" hipsters don't even care about artists such as Lana Del Rey lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think "real" hipsters don't even care about stars such as Lana Del Rey lol wannabe hipsters are not hipsters though, and most hipsters don't give a flying fuck about who they like. Indie music is my favorite genre of music, but I still stan for Britney. I don't get a rat's ass about what people think, I can't help it that Britney Spears makes perfect pop music but I getcha, don't let those basic ass bitches that say the Black Keys understand them and know a band only through their Wikipedia page and a shitty Vice article or Pitchfork review ruin good music for ya (tho no shade to the Key's production on UV. I was a skeptic at first, but it came out way better than I thought it would). and to get something straight, Lana's definitely not indie music in the least. she is good alternative music though, in the most literal sense in that, if you're sick of generic basic shit, she's a nice alternative.

Falsity when it comes to music is idiotic and reductive and yeah it is funny & pathetic; when I'm feeling especially douchey i'll call someone out on their tastes just to watch them uncomfortably squirm and spew generic vague opinions that show they have no fucking clue about anything they say they "like".

Captain Morgan Posted June 18, 2014 #21 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 i was lovin' her when she first came out but i smartly saw right through her. she be fake in every way. she has too many personas. she shoulda jus' picked one 'n stayed wit' it. first she was an ole hollywood cap'n's lass now shes tryin' t' be a female kurt cobain? she wants us t' feel sorry fer her but she can ne'er get th' tale straight about her past. she even lies about her age. fake from head t' toe.
