How Lorde Prophesied the Tumblr Generation's Bittersweet Coming-of-Age on 'Ribs' 

When Lorde became a superstar 10 years ago, “Royals” was the smash hit. But since then, a different song from Pure Heroine has resonated hug

“In 2023, Tumblr holds next to none of the social currency it once did. Now, when Marsh sees an oil stain in a parking lot, their first thought is “This would’ve gone crazy on Tumblr.” Their second thought is that that oil will somehow end up in the ocean, adding to “the nearly unavoidable climate disaster our world is approaching.” But even now, a search for “Ribs by Lorde” on the site still yields the same grainy, soft-grunge images overlaid with those same lyrics about getting old.”

I started to smoke weed, which gave me a deeper understanding of sensory pleasure, and allowed me to start to see my world as a possible work of art. I’d go on long walks around the neighbourhood, and began to mythologise the stuff around me (big empty floodlit rugby fields/bus rides/dark streets/boredom/isolation) into the motifs that would become Pure Heroine. I wore a lot of like, navy lipsticks from the 2 dollar shop. God, this aesthetic, It’s just TOO MUCH.

It’s close to midnight, and I’ve just finished scrolling through my entire computer and phone archive from 2011-2013. Going on this memory lane ride has reminded me, for one thing, what a different time it was technologically. We were just starting to be able to see ourselves in real time, but we weren’t constantly connected. I had an iPod touch until halfway through 2013, which didn’t have a front camera or internet access, and my sister and I shared a MacBook, which is where we did our schoolwork and I wrote my lyrics. I took my first few years of selfies on Photo Booth…. Just let that… sink in!!!
