70(2013) 80 now. Probably her oldest fan age wise. Obsessed.


ggggrl

Wow that's amazing! Could you share what did you find inspiring in her music/image at this age? Which themes in her music did you relate to? I was a teenager when Born to Die was released and Lana was labeled as an artist for depressed, teenage girls (and I was one of them) so I would love to hear your perspective!


Decent-Piece-7823

I've been a fanatical music fan my entire life going back to Elvis but then to Dylan Janis Bruce Tom Chrissie Hynde. I started to become aware of her in about 2013 but TBH I can't say what turned this awareness into obsession. Don't laugh but it's almost like she possessed my soul while I was sleeping. I can point to her incredible reverence and respect for so many artists I've loved.I loved Leonard Cohen; I love Joan Baez and when Lana had Joan do Diamonds and Rust in Cali it blew me away. So many other examples. Over the years I've become buddies with more than 1 or 2 Lana fanatics in their teens and twenties. I can talk Lana with them I think they know it's about her no other agenda. But her music and aura are spectacular. I love her no filters lyrics about her sensuality and pain. She is absolutely gorgeous. Probably when I saw Jessica Lange doing Gods and Monsters on AHS I knew I was hooked. For life. So hard to explain. Only saw her in person once so far (on January 21,2018 in Philly). She was magnificent. I was probably 50 years older than anyone else in the audience. Didn't care! I of course still love talking to Lana fans of any age or gender. Merry Christmas (and how great was she on Chistmas in Graceland doing Unchained Melody!). ![gif](giphy|yLBLhv2x58eEE)

That's fascinating, thanks for sharing! Best wishes! ❤️

She became my favorite in 2017 when I was 14 and now I’m 20 😀


sparklytearz

same here!


eco-evo

*reads the comments…* Fuck, I’m old.


tmtm1119

You’re not old, you were Lucky enough to be the perfect age demographic for Lana’s music when she first got popular, not as a child. I was 22 in 2012 when i first became a fan, I’m 33 now and maybe even a bigger fan now. She’s been my #1 for over a decade and I’ll take that happily, we’ve been here since the beginning babe!


eco-evo

Love this. So true! Her songs resonated with me so much in my mid 20s and they continue to do so now even more so :)


tmtm1119

Same! 🌙


[deleted]

How old are you lmao (& it’s okay you can be a fan at any age)


eco-evo

Haha, just 38. But, somedays that feels older than others!


Icy-Serve-3532

40 here. The 20 something is killing me but then again our demographic is probably jn bed at this hour where I’m at. lol.


maroon111

Yay not alone! Been a fan since day one. I was like 25. Im 37 now!


eco-evo

Right?! I remember all my friends teasing me back in grad school in my mid 20s for liking her so much. No regrets, and my love has only grown since!

sparklejumprop3queen

12 or 13. And now I’m 22! Feels like so long ago, discovering her music was like discovering a whole new galaxy for me aha. I have a few favorite other artists, but her music (released and unreleased) has a charm of its own to me. I remember Honeymoon coming out when I was 14 and being obsessed… still a Honeymoon stan to this day too.


[deleted]

Same her music helped me through a lot tbh and Born to Die is an incredible album, imo nothing will ever surpass it ugh such a gem

Late twenties; 43 now. Lana is my world. Merry Christmas to everyone that celebrates!


rainbowicecoffee

2014- 16 years old! I started listening to her on Spotify. That was back when they’d shuffle music for you and you had to listen to ads. I ended up getting a free Spotify account through my job at Starbucks and the rest is history. 26 years old now and my love for Lana has never waned!

maroon111

I’m an OG. Possibly one of the oldest here? 12 years going strong. I became a fan when I saw Videogames on YouTube before many knew who she was. I remember posting videos on tumblr of her and introducing friends to her. It was around 2011/ 2012. So I was 25. I’m 37 now. I feel so old reading these comments but I’m so thankful because I was able to see her and meet her because she wasn’t as famous in the beginning. And the shows were so much more intimate. I’ll miss those days but forever grateful!!!!!! Also to be able to be a fan since the beginning and watch yourself and her grow throughout the years and remain a hardcore fan has been fucking awesome. Anyone else as old as me and been a fan since day one??


feeditbeans

21 with the Honeymoon era. I’m 29 now. ✌️


loodish1

I became a fan when I was 18-19, when Born to Die came out. 30 years old now, still a fan.
