Is liking Lana Del Ray a red flag?

[Anonymous]

As a Lana fan, I'd be concerned if my daughter was a big fan of Lana's. Its not super concerning, seeing as she makes good music, but I'd gently follow up on it.

As a fan yourself, you are likely aware that her music is complex, often dealing with themes of melancholy, romanticized sadness, toxic relationships, and intense nostalgia.

Your instinct to gently follow up is reasonable if you are worried about the impact of the lyrics on a young, impressionable mind. However, liking her music does not automatically mean a person is engaging in toxic behavior. It often indicates a preference for deep, atmospheric music or, as some fans say, a love for trauma + mental illness art.

As long as the music is not fostering an unhealthy, real-life idolization of abuse or addiction, it is likely just a personal preference for a specific artistic aesthetic.

That sums up my feelings too.

no i don't think being a fan of lana del ray's music is a red flag.

i think you know your daughter well enough to judge if there concerns you should have beyond liking the music of a single artist. heck she may like the music because of her exposure to it through you.

but trust your guy as you know her better than all of us

I'd be more concerned if it was Billie Eilish that your daughter became a fan of considering a lot of her music is depressing more so than Lana Del Rey. I think the only song Lana Del Rey has that's deeply depressing is Summertime Sadness as far as I know. Where Billie is like almost every song is depressing.

That be a wild take lol Lana songs are mostly if not all depressing.
While Billie has more varied songs plus Billie cites Lana as one of her inspirations in the first place.

[Simslover92]

Not the songs I've heard by her

[Kaneki05]

What songs?

At the very least, Lana possesses some genuine talent, which is more than can be said for most popular vocalists these days.

Liking Lana Del Rey isn’t a red flag by itself at all 🌙

I game to her songs a lot, and for me it’s more about the vibe and mood than copying the lyrics or lifestyle. Her music can feel dark, dreamy, and emotional, which some people really connect with. If your daughter likes her, it could just mean she enjoys deep, dramatic music. Maybe just keep an eye on how she’s feeling overall, but the fandom alone isn’t scary 💿✨

[Kaneki05]

Depends how much she deeply relates I suppose. But music is a good outlet so also not really. Also there is something wrong with a person if they don't like Lana... having taste is a green flag.

Gunnery Sergeant Hartman? Any thoughts on this?

I’m not that familiar with her music. Why wouldn’t you want your daughter to be a fan?

[Asker]

The anonymous blue comment explains it very well. I wouldn't mind. Just have a talk to make sure there isn't anything to worry about.

[DryGermanGuy]

That anonymous blue comment is from ChatGPT and therefore rather worthless.

[LiamJHayden]

Some of her songs are a bit risque, but at least she can actually sing.

[Enginn]

No. she's a great singer and a hot woman.

[strateguy632]

That is.
