Lana Del Rey: A Deep Dive into EVERYTHING

Lana Del Rey has gained a massive cult-like following ever since the viral success of her song “Video Games’ in 2011 and the popularity of her “old money”, retro Americana, “sad girl” aesthetic on websites like Tumblr. As a Lana fan who has already made multiple positive videos analyzing her appeal and significance, today, I wanted to do something different: a Lana del Rey deep dive documentary/ iceberg. In this video, we will analyze Lana’s early life and upbringing, her claims of growing up struggling, her father Rob Grant's & grandfather's life & background, and break down the claims of inauthenticity and that Lana is “cosplaying poverty”. We’ll discuss Lana’s early unreleased “Lizzy Grant era”, her indie, humble aesthetic, and the ethics of personas, romanticization vs appropriation, and feminist choice vs patriarchal perpetuation. We’ll analyze Lana’s many controversies from her perceived “pick me behavior”, ” romanticization of abuse”, her 2024 marriage to Jeremy Dufrene, “Question for the Culture’ & her past comments on social issues and politics. We will also discuss postmodernism and how it affects Lana’s aesthetic & the modern rise of “aesthetic-core cosplay-like culture”, ending the video with my take on Lana & the concept of idealized idolization & modern celebrity worship culture.

By the end of this Lana documentary, I hope you all will have a more unbiased perception of Lana Del Rey’s life, art, aesthetic, and music, allowing you to form your own opinion based on context instead of biased, fan-made, praise-filled video.
