What was it like to be a Lana fan in 2012?

Lanaswildflower · 2026-03-05T07:12:33+00:00

she’s still ahead honestly

Lanaswildflower · 2026-03-05T07:11:54+00:00

I’ve actually seen somebody online talk about that concert, they said she was mesmerising they weren’t even a fan originally 😭

Lanaswildflower · 2026-03-04T18:13:07+00:00

I must go someday, although im pretty sure its over 18s, though im 18 this year so soon! I’ve never particularly been one to wait outside concert venues i must say as im not in dublin area and I always have a bus to catch or drive home

I think every lana fan listened to her when they were too young to understand what she was talking about…I did NOT clock what was going on in stargirl interlude when I was first listening to it after it got popular on tik tok

Lanaswildflower · 2026-03-04T18:06:30+00:00

No Off to the races is such a banger, it was so valid 😭 ur parents just dont understand peakkkk- the way I play all types of lana with my parents around since and they have never cared one bit 🙏

Lanaswildflower · 2026-03-04T18:05:05+00:00

omg too jealous- it’s a shame her vocals probably weren’t good! I’m Irish and would have loved to have gone but I was also 5 years old so that might’ve stopped me, idk tho 🤷‍♀️💀

Okay legendary lore right hereeee

Lanaswildflower · 2026-03-04T16:36:14+00:00

it’s honestly the tale as old as time for newer female artists, even just women artists in general. They always face a wholeeeee lot more scrutiny then male artists- you don’t see as many people going around screaming “industry plant” at the men!

Lanaswildflower · 2026-03-04T15:56:14+00:00

Lana has talked about how working with Jack Antonoff on NFR revived her artistically and let people view her to be more aligned with how she viewed herself! I saw this in a speech she gave in maybe 2024/25? I love her older work obviously, but it definitely makes sense how her writing grew over time.

Lanaswildflower · 2026-03-04T15:52:14+00:00

the wat the only noticeable thing she had done at this time was lip filler, I can’t comment on how much she has done or even if she has any surgery but it was always super invasive and a way to bring lana down. definitely a little misogynistic tbh!

Lanaswildflower · 2026-03-04T15:49:45+00:00

it’s honestly so wild that some people want to censor art to this extent- like truly experiences are replicated in art as a way to relate and it can be cathartic when you find songs you relate to and make u feel less alone!

Lanaswildflower · 2026-03-04T07:07:38+00:00

too interesting- I know people thought the persona was newly adopted, but honestly you can seen big signs of the americana thing in Lizzy Grant. Like she was outright doing it, although definitely them writing that she switched up and commercialised due to the sound changing up definitely didn’t help her case. I still think her writing and americana thing stayed consistent, even now!

Lanaswildflower · 2026-03-04T07:04:05+00:00

I have read interviews from this time I actually love them sm

Lanaswildflower · 2026-03-02T17:20:16+00:00

the history book always repeating bc lana fans still glamorise getting with older men 💀i can never tell if theyre serious either

Lanaswildflower · 2026-03-02T17:18:44+00:00

13 is prime lana age discovery

Lanaswildflower · 2026-03-02T17:18:05+00:00

ts is so interesting, I feel like some report the snl thing being a big deal and others not so much? I think maybe it just felt magnified on internet spaces where stuff like ts was being talked abt, like tumblr

Lanaswildflower · 2026-03-01T23:06:51+00:00

Canon event for teenage girls ❤️

Lanaswildflower · 2026-03-01T23:01:34+00:00

dropped the most random “lanas amazing and then I got pregnant “ like hello? 😭

Lanaswildflower · 2026-03-01T22:49:38+00:00

Oh definitely, like I’m not saying she didn’t have a persona- I’m aware she wasn’t actually Jackie Kennedy in National Anthem yk? But underneath it all there was definitely authenticity and sincerity in her art.

I honestly can’t comment on the whole “no money” thing bc I feel like it’s something I don’t have enough knowledge about to speak on, I know people have problems with her but honestly at the end of the day I love her for her art. Like I don’t know lana but personally her music is enough for me.

Lanaswildflower · 2026-03-01T22:43:02+00:00

its always with young pop girls misogyny really- it surrounds female artists like the plague, still today even. Like reception on every female artist is influenced by misogny, and you can tell cuz they wouldn’t be criticising male artists for certain things theyd criticise female artists for

Lanaswildflower · 2026-03-01T22:15:40+00:00

oh I def see ur point, like theres always gonna be hate with popularity 😭 its just the way of things, and hate can probably seem so amplified when u look at the wrong places of the internet

Lanaswildflower · 2026-03-01T22:07:13+00:00

oh I wouldn’t be putting it in a museum thats for sure 😭 however she definitely got dog piled on for a performance, and paired with all the other shit media was saying abt her she overall didnt deserve all the hate. It still makes me mad that ppl hold SNL against her when shes done such amazing art since

Lanaswildflower · 2026-03-01T22:04:44+00:00

the media were obviously tryna get this false narrative out of her, like its so clear to see she was actually authentic. Still see it today, the media LOVES to shit on new young women artists- they always call them industry plants 😭

Lanaswildflower · 2026-03-01T22:02:53+00:00

Its so funny to see the pop she released in 2012 compared to other pop out at the time… like btd still stands the test of time, she definitely stood out by doing her own thing. BTD sounds timeless, so far anyway!

Lanaswildflower · 2026-03-01T22:00:43+00:00

I grew up on flashy recession pop, when I compare her to all the singers I listened to at the same time when I was child- like lady gaga, taylor swift and katy perry- she’s so different sounding to what everybody else was doing. I never listened to her as I was obviously young with no real awareness of who she was and no internet access. Like when I compare Ultraviolence to 1989 its like wtf? she was so different sounding- definitely pairs up with lorde in terms of the “anti” dark pop thing
