you're right and tbh i should be more annoyed about this. Mood Ring is almost a firm bop (this thread hits lower and lower depths) but at this point i'm more invested in Lorde's platform/persona than in her new music and this is probably a sign that either the album should drop immediately or i should stop consuming her altogether hm

"and this is "my editor told me this paragraph was getting a little too close to behaviour Lorde publicly mischaracterised as sexist so I turned it into a sassy credits list""



The fact that she is unironically infamous for pulling this shit is exactly what makes her so insufferable. Never mind that there are actually cases of sexism in this industry, but every time someone criticizes her music in any way she doesn't like she screams sexism over it like no critique of her shit is legit.

have not followed her much for the past few yrs prior to this release cycle; got any other examples there?

The only thing people were mentioning was Jack Antonoff's penchant for working with female artists, not that this wasn't a Lorde record. I never saw any comments calling this a Jack Antonoff record at all and I have no idea what the fuck she was on about.



Other than that right now I can't find anything because google search is being flooded with reviews of her new album and nothing else, as soon as the hype dies down I should see a lot more older articles and such.



Though her little dumb hissy fit over her crappy VMA's performance is another one I thought was funny. She said in an interview that critics of the performance just didn't want to see her "happy and filled with joy". Like fuck off.

you're right, i totally forgot about that... and it just happened too. christ my memory is bad

you said she's infamous for accusations of sexism and does it every time she is criticized, I just figured you would have at least one example

Album Rating: 2.5

her new album coming out doesn't make it impossible to find articles pertaining to that, that's not how google works

Point is she's got an annoying attitude where she thinks shes better than everyone else and we're all just assholes who don't understand her.



Here's her dumb VMA's take: https://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/music/lorde-hits-back-at-criticism-of-her-embarrassing-mtv-vmas-performance-20170911-gyex9y.html



As if we're obligated to enjoy it just because she's happy about it.

that's honestly a non-story Caliggy. people talked shit about her dance, she theorized why that may be. honestly she's probably right, in that the dance came from a cerebral place and wasn't a calculated effort to impress people. and that can come off as embarrassing. but I don't see what that has to do with sexism and characterizing it as a hissy fit feels quite hyperbolic. just saying
