Answer preview

Lana Del Rey is one of the most notable pop artists in the recent history of popular culture. She has made highly successful songs and albums, most notably “Video Games” (2011). “Summer Wine” (2013), and the “Summertime Sadness” (2013), among others. The artist’s use of nostalgia in her videos and lyrics has earned her a reputation of integrating the past and the present to emphasize the message she carries in her music. Her nostalgic inflection to the past has interestingly contributed to the underscoring of the assertion that media is mortal (Fetveit, 2015, p. 187).
