Lana Del Rey legit just confirmed what I thought she meant. She’s sings about the same topics the women she listed sing about, but from a more “delicate/frail” perspective, but is deemed anti-progressive by the critics she was addressing in that IG post.
Name dropping those women derailed everyone’s attention from the main point of the post, and I can absolutely see how. She wasn’t comparing her success to theirs, because Lana’s music isn’t for pop charts...I’d like to think she’s aware of that...
Her main point was; women (the “alphas” she listed) can sing abt whatever they want, and they’re dominating the charts. She sings about similar topics from a “beta” perspective and is said to set women back, because “beta” is anti-progressive...at least that was my understanding.
