Lana Del Rey/YMMV

• Alternate Character Interpretation: Critics talk about her as being either the incredible next big thing or an overhyped corporate sellout.
  • Or simply, manufactured pop star like Selena Gomez vs made up her own alternative identity Lady Gaga style
• Ear Worm: "Off to The Races", "Diet Mountain Dew", "Lolita".
• Epic Riff: The counterpoint piano in "Diet Mountain Dew" and "Lolita"
• Hate Dumb: Let's just say that her detractors are numerous, frequently operate on a strange and alien logic, and the subject of whether or not she deserves the hate is one better left alone...
• Hype Backlash: After receiving so much critical praise for her first single, Del Rey was viciously attacked by many critics after she gave a less than stellar live performance on Saturday Night Live.
  • SNL came to her rescue later, though:

Seth Meyers Three weeks ago you were on the show, and you sang two songs off your new album
Kristen Wiig (as Lana Del Rey): That's what I thought I did, Seth, but, based on the publics response I must have instead clubbed a baby seal while singing the Taliban national anthem..."

• • The PBS Idea Channel series compares the backlash against her manufactured nature to Miku Hatsune's growing popularity, despite being a literally manufactured pop singer. Then again, they've never lied about her being anything but.
• Memetic Mutation: Dancing Lana Del Rey.
• Tear Jerker: "Dark Paradise", "Summertime Sadness", "Born To Die",
