Ok OBVIOUSLY not the point but it’s interesting that the South Park Lorde parody from 2014 sings “I am Lorde, I am Lorde.” They thought it was unrelatable autofiction then!

I'm not sure a Lorde album will ever top 'Melodrama' for me, but I actually think 'Virgin' is a brilliant album! While 'Melodrama' perfectly soundtracked my messy later teen and early adulthood years where I craved music that was relatable and spoke to my life at the time, I feel that nearly a decade later I'm able to enjoy music that doesn't just speak to my own experiences. I enjoy imagining myself in her shoes as I listen to this one. There are still moments that are relatable and I feel the kinds of feelings that 'Melodrama' and 'Pure Heroine' provoked in me, but I love 'Virgin' partly because it isn't entirely relatable.
