Abstract
ABSTRACTLana Del Rey's success and popularity provoke questions about her authenticity. The cultural heteroglossia she presents in her work often includes striking contrasts in how she satirizes religion, romanticizes Lolita, romanticizes Americana, strives for a meaningless freedom, and in how she presents the aesthetic and physical. For a pop musician, Lana Del Rey compels unexpected and sustained serious analysis. She and her work fit within the artistic and literary traditions of the grotesque in a way that is particularly American. Her American grotesque also emerges from the anomie and whimsy that characterize the hipster, millennial, and slow food movements.
