Amy Rebecca Klein: Lana Del Rey: The Irony Lady
So it’s kind of weird that people are now quoting me about hating Lana Del Rey. I don’t actually hate her, although I know a lot of people who do. Actually, I can count the number of people I hate on one hand—and none of them are pop stars.
The piece that I wrote about Lana Del Rey many months…
A really smart and multifaceted piece about LDR by Amy Klein, which gets at many of her contradictions — why she’s boring and fascinating and catchy and troubling at the same time. This is also a great and new contribution to the “authenticity” conversation. Why do we find empty signifier Lana so much more exciting than real-deal Lizzie?
