Nikki Verda

Yeah, that is a really, really good point, too. Sometimes almost not saying things... Like, what she doesn't say speaks louder than what she does say.

Which is really, really interesting. And also, again, talking back to this, like, Minecraft, like, example, too. Like, I feel like with Lana, like, she does it... She communicates her why through visuals. I think that's, like, what's most impressive about Lana. Like, I would argue that... the biggest like pioneer of what the modern like artist persona is, is Lana.

Obviously not in terms of like everybody looking like her, but in terms of the way she did it, like through music videos, through social media, Tumblr way back in the day. And thinking about this world, you know, like, Like Nosferatu is in the movie theater of Lana Del Rey's Minecraft universe.

Like even though she's never talked about it, like it's just something about how it like I would say like the ethos of a Lana fan. It's like true art, beautiful things, vintage. You know what I mean? And like somehow that can seep its way into other elements of culture. For sure. Another great example, I think, of an ethos of someone I've talked about in the past is Dochi.

Right now. Especially, like, specifically the song to Dialysis River.

Right now. Especially, like, specifically the song to Dialysis River.

I have said this song goes over a relationship, a breakup, getting cheated on, him destroying her entire apartment, her having a drug addiction, her having an alcohol addiction, her getting clean, her having her first viral sex, her pressures from the label and the industry after going viral from that success, her struggle with the label, then to writing this album.

Like, it is an autobiography put into song. Yeah. And I think not everybody does it in the way Dochi does it in the song because it's so literal. Like, literally, I think the first line of the song is, like, old dude from 2019. Like, it is literally, like, timeline, action, consequence, moving forward. And compare that to someone like Lana. Lana would never do that. Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever.

But I think I like this song as an example of ethos because I think it's so literal that it's, like, a very good thing to study. But... is showing, like you can't like this song without liking her as a person or understanding her story as a person.

You can't.
