Abstract
ABSTRACT Marina and the Diamonds’ album, Electra Heart (2012), by glamorizing suffering, provides adolescents an avenue to find solidarity with others who are self-critical and depressed. Adolescents of the 2010s have formed their identities by crowdsourcing on the internet in response to this album. The character of Electra Heart represents a modern-day negative ego ideal for adolescents. Idealization of her character fans the flames of narcissistic destructive behavior in adolescents, but also provides a way for adolescent girls to symbolize and express negative feelings without acting on them.
摘要Marina and the Diamonds的专辑《Electra Heart》（2012）通过美化苦难，为青少年提供了一条与自我批评和抑郁的人团结一致的途径。2010年代的青少年通过在互联网上众包来回应这张专辑，从而形成了自己的身份。Electra Heart的性格代表了现代青少年的负面自我理想。她的角色理想化激起了青少年自恋破坏行为的火焰，但也为青春期女孩提供了一种象征和表达负面情绪而不采取行动的方式。
