Kim Gordon Targets Lana Del Rey in Memoir Excerpt

To date, it’s been revealed that Kim Gordon‘s new memoir Girl in a Band features her thoughts on Thurston Moore, Kurt Cobain, Courtney Love, Billy Corgan, and others. As Consequence of Sounds points out, the book also features some harsh words for Lana Del Rey.

She wrote:

“Today we have someone like Lana Del Rey, who doesn’t even know what feminism is, who believes women can do whatever they want, which, in her world, tilts toward self-destruction, whether it’s sleeping with gross old men or getting gang raped by bikers. Equal pay and equal rights would be nice. Naturally, it’s just a persona. If she really truly believes it’s beautiful when young musicians go out on a hot flame of drugs and depression, why doesn’t she just off herself?”

Lana Del Rey was previously criticized for romanticizing death by Frances Bean Cobain.
