I’m not even going to bother defending myself anymore. Lana Del Rey, target of scorn from hipsters everywhere, just put out a new EP and so help me God, I can’t get enough.
I don’t know what it is about this odd, bored-sounding, trying-too-hard trainwreck. I don’t even care how uncool I am. I JUST KNOW THAT I LOVE HER.
I love her affected, melancholy, self-destructive, daddy-issues persona. I love the dark, lonely sound of the music and her druggy, Ambien voice. I love that she’s interested in creating characters and telling stories through indulgent, cinematic videos and through fashion and style. Right now, I really, really love “Ride.” Does this mean I have no taste? Probably. You decide.

I hate lots of things. Often for being artless, or patently commercial, or just for being popular. I often listen to music that the wider world considers outright noise. But I acknowledge all day long that Lana del Rey is AMAZING.
