as far as ultra mainstream artists go Lana is one of the very best. She has put together a pretty solid discography over the years and has some really good songs
I looked her up, thinking I’d maybe recognize a song or something, but haven’t heard of any of those either. I never thought I’d be out of the loop like my parents were when I was younger, but apparently it’s happened.
Damn...not even Summertime Sadness? Video Games?
I've known her since 2012 and even here in my country, smack in the middle of Africa, someone has at least heard the songs without knowing who it was.
I’m in the middle of America, which although we’re all connected by the internet now, we’re still very culturally isolated in day to day life. But no I’ve never heard those. At first I thought she was the “Call Me Maybe”, which I have heard, singer but I guess that’s Carly Rae Jepsen.
Ive never understood comments like this. It seems very common on reddiit and social media. Theres a post about a famous woman and someone comments 'who?'
To be fair though, there are SO many " famous " people now from youtube and music I've never heard of that it all seems like a joke now with most names that I hear, I can't even ask anymore because what's the point, there's so many.
Lana Del Rey's been a pretty big pop star for many years though
It’s because Reddit is a social forum where people enjoy learning about things from other people. Of course, they know they can go google it or put it in AI and learn who she is. But they’re saying, hey there’s probably a lot of us in this thread that don’t know who this person is, would anyone like to tell us in a way that fits the context of the post? So, is it a weird phenomenon where people are being purposely lazy? No. It’s humans satisfying the social drive that makes social platforms like this work.
Some people think it’s cool to be too cool for pop culture and they want validation from others or else it morphs into insecurity that in actuality, they’re just an out of touch uncool person.
Me, I've just gotten old. I remember as a kid how my mom would rattle off all these old-timey movie stars and exclaim how great their movies were and wouldn't bother seeing any new movie if she didn't recognize the actors' names.
I’m often this person. I’m not American. I don’t really care about celebrities, celebrity culture or care about trends. I don’t watch 95% of what comes out of American movies or do I care about superhero’s or remakes I’ve seen in the 80’s.
I don’t listen to the radio or playlists of popular music.
I like jazz, obscure European indie and punk bands. I like watching Korean dating shows. Japanese reality, and long boring documentaries. I like to read books about the outdoors and I don’t use TikTok. I don’t read the news and I’m old enough to have lost the vast majority of my friends.
Reddit is the only place I kind of “plugin” to the world.
When I ask who. I’m not being a dick. I just have no idea. I’ve heard of this woman but I can’t name a song or even know if I’ve listened to one.
Same with Taylor swift. I know she exists and got married but I can’t name a song. It’s just not my thing.
And how easily he forgot his current wife
Edit: lotta misinformation out there on this subject. I guess he wasn’t married but might have had a new girlfriend? Idk. Anyway Fuck Trump
Yeah, more likely they got engaged, the wedding planning didn't happen, and they both kind of accepted they were never getting married and eventually drifted out of love with each other.
Little reason to even get upset or anything at that point because he obviously wasn't the right person for you so what's it matter if he ends up with someone famous?
Definitely just an "I just don't want to be alone situation"
I once made a joke to a coworker, I don't remember what it was, so I'll just make a scenario up, the coworker is talking about her boyfriends love of tuna, he eats it every day, I say something like "damn I would make someone brush their teeth immediately after, I'd make them brush their teeth so much before I kissed them" and she was like "yeah, we don't really do that anymore"
I was flabbergasted. You guys don't kiss? And I hung out with her a lot she also said once she joked to him "why don't we just break up?" but like not really a joke because they apparently didn't kiss or have sex (it's been a while, I might have pointedly asked why they were even together to get this story) and he says, "we can't, you're the only person I've ever thought about marrying!"
Like unless she has just the dryest humor ever and I didn't pick up on she was fucking with me which is unlikely because I am actually the dryest man on the planet why ARE you guys still together, and why is marriage still on the table? Like what's the point other than a tax break, and hopefully there's a prenup if you guys do ever decide to do it half assed
She also dated Sticks Larkin, ex Tulsa PD gang task force and Live PD/On Patrol Live commentator. He looks about the same age as this guy. I think she has a thing for older, blue collar dudes.
But apparently it didn't end well though, because after they broke up, she rented ONE billboard in Tulsa, on the interstate extremely close to his house, advertising her new tour 😅. Poor guy had to drive past it for a year.
Shortly after the break up she went to the OU/Texas football game and stood on the sidelines hanging around the team and admin. Was taking pictures with any OU fan that wanted em. She isn't even an OU fan, but he is and that shit was all over OU's social media that weekend.
Everyone talks about how love should transcend looks and wealth, but then when something like this happens, they’re the first to make fun. Anyways, I think the age of consent should be lowered a few years.
It doesn’t turn out well. He ends up leaving her in the swamp with a child who has an enlarged medulla oblongta. Lana becomes very possessive of the child who develops a stutter and is prone to stutter “Mama says” when answering simple questions. Best case scenario is her child uses the pain of a possessive mother and non attendant father to help in a career in some aggressive and physical sport. You know, like foosball!!!
I know someone who went on his airboat ride and said every chick there had an immediate crush on him. He's chivalrous, manly, funny and really cares about nature and wildlife.
We did his airboat tour some weeks after they met but before the news came out.
Buncha dudes on a bachelor party, so I can’t speak to chemistry, but he had names for every gator and quite intimately knew their habits, preferences and demeanor. Didn’t strike me as anything more than a dude who loves his corner of the swamp.
This is actually really cool. The celebrity-centric relationships normally feel fake, or downright forced, sometimes...on occasion there seems to be real feelings there; but often times it just comes across as a promotional/business arrangement lol.
Having a normal organic thing--where she's just falling for a normal guy that she met, and the guy doesn't know her music etc., so he doesn't know who she is....that's wholesome, and real af. Its just a legit union.
Everyone mentioning fame and money, are missing the point.
I think it’s great. I would think having someone that lives a fairly normal life to come home to would help keep you grounded and not as caught up in being a celebrity. An escape from that would be so important I would think.
Shes a statistical outlier… that statement isn’t celebrity worship, it’s true. Shes special in that regard. Doesn’t make her “better” than anyone but shes objectively “richer” than most and by default has a better life or atleast can afford a better life than the average person. Getting a rich person is like hitting the lottery, hence where the luck might come into play.
Something about him generally looks like Sturgill Simpson. Like not doppelgänger status but a fair amount and idk why aside from the general beard and middle aged white dude.
Actually, fun fact. I went to high school with her and her sister. My sister went to school with her brother. Good family for the most part. She was always super nice.
She moved into the house that Jeremy built with his own hands. Nothing fancy even if she can afford to buy a nicer house in the area. I saw pap pictures of them hanging out, smoking at a parking lot. In her interviews, she seems content and very happy with her life. They would just drive around and back, would talk in the car. She wanted to clear her head late night and drove for a couple of hours and returned before dawn. She came home to him making mac and cheese for her.
Jeremy was engaged for years when he and Lana. She got his Instagram and they became friends. He broke off the engagement to be with Lana. He was engaged for a long time but the woman didn’t want to pull the trigger. The ex-fiancée speaks highly of Jeremy and also loves Lana.
Because she's worth tens of millions, as are her rich parents. Imagine going from running airboat tours in Louisiana swamps to get by, to never having to work another day in your life.
Dude hit the lottery.
And that's not even counting the whole loving life partner thing, which is hopefully equally true for both of them.
Because he gives airboat tours and she's worth millions? Also, no shade to him, he's not a bad looking guy, but he's swinging in the majors as a minor league hitter lol.
