more cultural impact- lemonade or lover?

[Asscatchem]

the sales are clear, but which album dropped 13 years since their debut album had more cultural impact?

 

[Shendelzare]

…. Lemonade and it’s not even remotely close.
 

Lover is an underrated album, sure. But it had next to no cultural impact. The Super Bowl performance of Formation was more culturally impactful on its own and the number of collegiate courses built around Lemonade is insane. 

[Achilles.]

You Need To Calm Down threw the first brick at Stonewall, so I’m afraid Loser wins.

What the measure of Cultural Impact? Kinda curious. 

Cultural Impact, but no one talk or stream or listen your album…. Kinda weird  

[Anye]

Idk about impact but Lover have more replay value to me.

It’s obviously Lemonade

 

There might be very few or even no female albums from the 2010s that had more impact than Lemonade.

 

Lover did have more longevity and in hard numbers like everything from Taylor did better tho.

[Emil Larsen]

Monoculture is dead. Every specific group of population just listens to what they like and ignore what they don't like. Lemonade has more cultural impact than Lover for the sphere of people who follow Beyonce and vice versa.

[Carter]

for the gays it’s lemonade

for the girlies its lover

and most of the planet population is female 

 

do the math :p

[shookspeare]

lover and it's not remotely close

Maybe the op should give their measure of cultural impact 

[Finkypop]

Definitely Lover. Lemonade is forgotten. She shouldn’t have kept it off of streaming platforms for as long as she did

Cultural impact refers to the influence, significance, or lasting effects that a particular idea, movement, work of art, event, or phenomenon has on society, values, beliefs, attitudes, behaviors, and overall cultural development. It signifies the ability of something to shape and transform aspects of culture, leaving a notable imprint on people's lives, collective consciousness, and societal norms. Cultural impact can manifest through various means, such as challenging existing perspectives, fostering social change, inspiring creativity, or influencing popular trends and movements.

I dont think lover is Taylor’s most impactful album. 1989 era >>>

[Lovett]

Lover doesn't have any cultural impact, but it's unsurprising to see a certain fanbase ignore the impact Lemonade had on the black community.

[Europe]

Well, Lover had statement songs like You Need To Calm Down, speaking out for LGBT rights, and The Man, speaking out for Women's Rights and also that halsey & harry potter song which is supposedly political. 2 of these were singles. Did Beyoncé have anything even close to that on Lemonade?

[SuperCiC1]

Anyone who says Lover should probably be investigated for domestic terrorism.

[Jjang]

Lover has no cultural impact so Lemonade by default.

Lemonade is the definition of forgotten  Lover is the clear winner.

[Josh]

No one knows what Lemon water is. Cruel Summer alone is bigger than anything from that album

[One Rude Boy]

Lemonade def was a cultural event but I'd say self-titled made a bigger cultural impact - a gigantic one, even

[Oceania]

What cultural impact?
