I voted for BTD>PD>UV but I agree it should be BTD>UV>HM.

Listening to this song like She really was THAT girl. Her career is one of the most intriguing "what ifs" in modern music. Dare I say she deserves more credit for helping to kick off the big 80s-pop sound revival?

Playing Dangerous and Dum Dum perhaps?

I LOVE that more mainstream pop girls are being influenced by that 2010s bedroom pop/rap sound. I hope it becomes a trend.

Once again I was simply providing examples of songs that are frequently compared to Lana's style to provoke discussion of artists other than the usual suspects. Clearly it backfired because people would rather argue semantics than engage with the prompt. I didn't choose just a random torch song but a song that was directly cited as being influenced by Lana. It's fine if people disagree with its inclusion but I wish they were actually explaining why and engaging with the discussion.

I thought my irreverent tone would be apparent but I changed the title to avoid further misunderstanding.

It was meant to be a discussion of songs that frequently draw comparison to her style. Not an indictment of the artists as a whole.

Y'all getting hung up on the song where the artist herself directly said it "definitely sounds like Lana". I'm tired.

Most of these artists have directly cited her as an influence. My tone was meant to be facetious—I'm not actually accusing any of the artists themselves of being knockoffs. Just wanted to discuss songs that frequently get compared to her style. It's not that serious. I agree that Kali has her own sound but this particular song has frequently been compared to Million Dollar Man. Take it up with the internet!

The most oft-imitated songwriter of our time, we all know it when we hear it—dreamy vocals, nostalgic strings, old Hollywood cliches and romanticized Americana but who, if anyone, has been able to capture the LDR magic and who just gave us Lana slop? Edit: Deleted the song examples since they were simply meant to spark discussion over what constitutes as well-done pastiche vs. derivative imitation.

Another AI slop game from the makers that brought us the "TTPD Blocked Billie" which refers to her as "Finneas Wife"
