It's no Cee-Lo, but the tag demanded activation.

Ridiculously blessed rich/cute girl t has luxury to condemn spending habits of normal people continually, thus satisfying anti-consumer trend among youth demographic and earning her still yet more fucking millions of euros.

Only people from disadvantaged backgrounds are entitled to voice their opinion on George W. Bush.
Um, artists (good & bad) have always arisen from privileged backgrounds. Lots of peeps with gifts never get exposure (to taste, to art education, to agents/managers to smooth their entry) - there was no music in my childhood house. There's no particular reason to single LA out, when nepotism is endemic in the culture industry.

A lot of the best punk was made by rich kids.
I guess I just don't like Lily Allen that much.
