how does dua lipa fit into that genre?

 

Swan Song was Dua's Lorde-esque serve

Tennis Court was my fave song back then  Olivia's taste

Obviously she did, Billie should co-sign since Lordes impact is very noticeable

I believe it was actually Lana who opened the door with “Video Games” and Lorde then followed that same template with “Royals”.

 

However, “Royals” is an all time classic in it’s own right and its success did demonstrate that there was (and remains) market demand for non maximalist, indie inflected pop (beyond Lana).

 

so it’s interesting that Billie is sat around that table as she was the next one to further extrapolate that genre and build on its soundscape further.

Taylor did it first but ok, Olivia. 

No one was putting Taylor down here. I'm not sure what it was that Taylor did first, but Olivia is talking about when Pure Heroine was released with lyrics about "being a teenager living in the suburbs". That wasn't something people would immediately connect with Taylor Swift in 2013.

not Dua being there pretending she's able to write something more sophisticated than left foot, right foot, levitating

Lorde and Lana are truly the mothers of the current crop of alt indie pop girlies. Billie is another mother in the making (she being the next reincarnation and update of what Lana and Lorde started). 

[Strawberry Bubble]

Lorde really changed the music industry. Everyone secretly loves her. 

[gettsleazy]

Lana shade, tbh.

 

Lorde, and the others that followed, wouldn't have broken through without Lana's impact and public crucifixion.

Shockingly enough, Due was actually marketed as the "next Lana" when she dropped "New Love" and "Last Dance." 

 

Obviously she quickly shed that image but the comparisons existed when she came onto the scene. IIRC they had the same manager.

There is literally nothing Taylor or Lana-sounding about Pure Heroine  Lorde deserves her own flowers 

Pure Heroine was very obviously heavily inspired by Born to Die

Exactly. The lyricism is BTD-lite.
