Lana Del Rey’s 'Question for the Culture' originated from a May 2020 Instagram post where the singer defended her music and lyrical themes against accusations of 'glamorizing abuse.' The post became an instant viral sensation due to its name-dropping of other female artists and its long-form, sincere, yet dramatic tone. Internet users quickly turned the manifesto into a parody format, replacing Lana’s serious text with mundane complaints, absurd personal grievances, or humorous rants about niche pop culture topics. The meme persists as a versatile way to present any opinion with a touch of vintage, pop-star melodrama.
