she says that she tried to organise freedom, then says "how Scandinavian of me". 

"We don’t like Scandinavian stuff in Iceland because they’re too organised. I mean, Icelandic people are really free, we have a bunch of anarchists of the Icelanders. We don’t like authorities, we don’t have an army, we don’t like schedules. Actually, we don’t know how to do schedules."

Anything goes!

Not to turn this into a geopolitical thread, but Iceland is part of Scandinavia... Both geographically and culturally.

Isn't Iceland Nordic rather than Scandinavian :neyde:

(Whatever that difference is) :anveeroy:

Sweden + Denmark + Norway = Scandinavia

Sweden + Denmark + Norway + Finland = Fennoscandia

Sweden + Denmark + Norway + Finland + Iceland + Faroes = Nordics

:bye:

Anything goes!

there's a wikipedia article on it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fennoscandia :anveeroy:

also apparently it includes russian karelia too :anveeroy:

Well if you're using Wikipedia, you'd see on the article about Scandinavia that the term in English is synonymous for all Nordic countries, which includes Iceland. So it's not wrong to call Björk Scandinavian (she literally refers to herself as such in her song Hunter).

The way I knew by saying something this thread would derail :saladga:

I think this is definitely up for interpretation. The fact the term was meant negatively in her lyrics doesn't mean it's not applying to her. Imagine how strange it would've been for her to say something like "How Japanese of me"...
