Nice haha. You were ahead of me for sure!!

 

How do you say "I read a tweet from Grimes about Lorde and liked her music before she was even on itunes" without sounding like the most annoying hipster person on the entire planet?

Her album is so fantastic.

Lol good question I like knowing that I was into Lorde before she blew up in the US tho! (As hipster as that sounds haha)

Thanks! :)

When did everyone here start liking Lorde?

For me it was mid-June, a few days after Tennis Court /Swingin' Party was released :P

Around mid-June too. When I first heard Royals, which was the first time I heard her :)

[Echo 326]

I started listening to Lorde right before US radio picked her up

I heard Royals on a rock station that my best friend was flipping threw. August 5 i have it on sound hound

 

I loved the lyrical meaning behind it and looked her up more and more, bought her ep and tried to find anything else on her.

 

Best thing ever

 

Side note: I don't even think she sounds like lana del rey... Lana talks about men, lorde talks about aristocracy...

One journalist said Royals is deeply-racist because of "Gold teeth, gray goose, trippin in the bathroom, Cristal, Maybach" claiming attacking black ppl and rappers lol. Reaching much.

Yeah lol. It was a pretty stupid a--lysis that ignored most of the lyrics. I liked Vice's response.

Hi Veronika,

As you will have realised, many of us commenting here are New Zealanders.

As a country, we have our issues, don’t get me wrong. We are a younger culture, our cultural hangups are different…our wealthy and ‘elite’ are fairly new and often of a working class background. The type of privilege you speak of means nothing to us – on the whole we really are far more egalitarian than this.

This was a dreadfully done piece of deconstruction: you’ve taken one line, out of context, without trying to even understand Lorde’s point of view.

I do sincerely hope you have read and considered the points raised in the comments, because there are many very excellent, very coherent points. I hope you have a better understanding of your own bias and lack of understanding of the world beyond your own, and an interest in the impact of imported American culture on the rest of the world – essentially, Lordes song was OUR answer to this.
