Man f*** these idiots. Ur spot on and it's painfully obvious to anyone whose not a 2021 woke fake activist. This is a complete 180 for Lorde. Not only is she showing skin but this is over the top, c'mon, a tiny patch covering the kitty? That angle? Miss me with the woke s***, I see straight thru this bullshit. U do too. Don't let these idiots make u think you're a misogynist for seeing what's painfully obvious.

I guess so. At the risk of sounding sexist or something I’m just not really into the whole “ass out, body freedom feminism!” wave in art and it comes off worse when it’s from someone who kind of made a career being the alternative to this stuff

Like I’m not saying Lorde shouldn’t do this, she can do what she wants but to me it’s all hollow and this brand of feminism is basically just taking us back to the early 2000s when selling s***was more prominent in women’s music. Now it’s just under the guise of progression. I might be diving too deep into Lorde’s ass but idk

Norman Rockwell and Melodrama were great but the man just does not understand pop music

His main thesis is that a great pop song needs a great concept first, he uses his song 'Don't Take The Money' as an example, saying the idea of a song about the conflict between financial security and personal independence is appealing to people, but he's wrong! You've gotta have a good melody above anything else, Oasis have hits for days but their lyrics are incomprehensible, most of them couldn't even be summarised as being 'about' anything besides an extremely vague feeling

His over-intellectualisation of pop music gives us really underwhelming flatly-produced stuff like Green Light and New York, and Bleachers is probably the most in-one-ear-and-out-the-other stuff I've ever heard. I don't get how successful he is when he gives really exciting artists such empty, lifeless production

Lmfao you're naive af. The truth is in the middle. It's not like this image is a deeper represention of the Illuminati trying to mind control us or some bs like that.

But it's also not just a pic Lorde liked.

S***sells. Simple as that. She didn't have someone lay on the ground to snap that angle for no reason. She knew what she was doing. She may like the pic but s***sells and she knows that.

Its also weird to see it come from Lorde whose never even showed skin at all to do a complete 180 and go ass out, choose an angle that pretty much shows kitty lips popping out. Can't blame people for being surprised at this

I get this side and being critical of the industry’s need to hypersexualize women and it wouldn’t surprise me at all if the body Freedom rhetoric is being co-opted by labels

BUT I think Lorde is an adult woman and I think that she especially is acutely aware of these dynamics
If she is fine with it then I don’t see an issue at all

The virgin consumer who’s happy to see her ass and doesn’t try to question this hypersexualized capitalistic culture and its consequences.

The Chad intellectual who’s able to take this as an example of a marketing ploy used to manipulate our impulses.
