we gotta get some of these insecure twitter girlies on an IV drip of feminism or they're all gonna go the red scare route LMFAO

understand her persona

Her racist, sexist persona is not that hard to understand.

I'm a Lana fan myself but I don't really see the cool girl thing. Makes me think more of the coquette trend that's popular on tumblr lol.

I feel like the fanbase gives more chasing certain aesthetics that none of us actually live or look by irl. It's just a lot of aesthetics lol.

A lot of vicarious living

I'd say charli has long been a critics darling actually

[genbu_no_miko24]

Has she? Cause I've seen her complain in the past over critic's reviews and not being super popular.

[donaestrangera]

Yeah, I have to say Charli is a critics’ darling. For years she was getting critics’ reviews that heralded her as the future of pop so when she didn’t get as good reviews for Crash she kind of melted down and started publicly complaining about critics which is what I think you saw and are referring to.

I think Charli has a chip on her shoulder that the glowing reviews she gets have not translated to the mainstream popularity she wants. At least she’s finally being honest about it because for years she pretended she didn’t care… but it was obvious she does care and she’s jealous of more popular artists.

I was just curious so I checked Spotify and despite Charli having just released an album which is when her numbers would be the highest she has about 15 million monthly listeners while Lana hasn’t released an album for over a year and has 55 million monthly listeners. 😬

what is it like not to be a human being but just an amalgamation of aesthetics and identities???

[ginainabottle]

I'd never heard her speak before and she's just as obnoxious and annoying as she looks.
