You guys need to let this go. We’re finally seeing people outside the internet, humans, react to the bullshit that we’re doing on the music internet. Criticism isn’t all about the writers and the people who “first started covering Lana Del Ray”. We aren’t the stars here, the musicians are making the art and we’re hoping to make it more communicable to a larger audience. So someone you thought you were going to “break” to the world didn’t succeed so you could tell everyone, “I got there first!” Let it go. If her album comes out and is a total dud all the bloggers that are still dying for her to succeed for their own egotistical purposes are going to claim it is good no matter what. That is so selfish, and that isn’t what writing about music is supposed to be.
































Sure, it was a bit heavy handed and emotionally charged but marketing in music is becoming far more important than the actual music and it is scary as hell. I don’t feel like humans that aren’t on the internet consuming music all the time are able to differentiate between what they do and don’t like, so someone selling an artist in effort to be the first person to cover them is somewhat irresponsible.
