A note to Alternative Music Scribes having trouble with Lana Del Rey

01/23/12

And there’s no need to feel bad that it hasn’t worked out. You’ve given it a good go. You’ve had your chance to impose your boring ideas of authenticity onto a pop creation, to express your disgust that she might be better in the studio than on the stage. That’s the way you like to judge things and that’s fine, it’s just that this isn’t how pop works, and Lana Del Rey is a pop thing. A hot, melodic, major label-signed pop thing.

The level of meta in Lana-Del-Rey-based trolling is getting pretty vertiginous.
