New Yorkers have been increasingly more irritable due to the fact that the subway system seems to be getting significantly worse with each passing day. Routine delays more or less guarantee it'll take you an additional 20 minutes to get anywhere and various lines shut down service at exceedingly inconvenient times. According to a recent New York Times article, these issues stem from the fact that trains are often too crowded (New York City is definitely crowded, yes) and also the system itself is old as fuck. The only person who seems to like the MTA right now is Lorde.
Lorde rode the subway with CBS Sunday Morning's Anthony Mason for a forthcoming episode of the show which will air 6/11. During the ride, Lorde told Mason that she thanked the subway in Melodrama's liner notes, and that much of the album was written while riding the F train. "I wouldn’t have been able to make the record without it," she said. "I found it such an amazing space to kind of be around people."
Do you know what happens to people who ride the F train who are not Lorde? This:
