>thoughts?

Why don't mods force Grimeshitters into one thread like their equal, kshitters?

>grimes is equal to kpop
you're even more autistic than a regular grimesfag

>>68582490
The word 'art' is effectively meaningless. Sure, all disciplines can be elevated to the level of 'art', if 'art' is taken to mean a privileged, elevated level of craftsmanship.

In that sense, I would argue that the 'art' of 'style' works against the 'art' of music, as I enjoy it.

And if we accept your premise about which artists find long-term success (I don't have an opinion on Grimes myself), then I see a question of whether the message and style of the artist is amenable to 'style' -- which is a vascillating thing, moving at the speed of capitalism.

And style is not a medium, it is the thing being communicated (the body might be the medium, or any number of other things). Music is a medium, but as MacLuhan said...

>force
Ever heard about the concept of freedom, fuckwit? Would you like to force you to post only on your Swans threads (or whatever artist you like)?

>>68582666
So you think KPOP shouldn't be in a general then, 10 KPOP threads at once would be okay?

>Yes style, no message = fleeting success (Jepsen, Mayberry, Marina)
>No style, yes message = limited success (Lanza, Herndon)
>Yes style, yes message = success (Grimes)

This thread is just a proxy for your shitty waifu wars. I've never listened to Grimes and I'd probably like her music, but thanks to people like you I'm not going to find out.

>>68582693
>10 KPOP threads at once would be okay?
I don't care. I filter them and never see them again. Problem solved.

There are many bad things in the world, but do you pay attention the any of them?

>>68582789
Okay, use a subject title for every Grimes spam thread so they can be filtered and everyones happy just like you do with KPOP.

>>68582710
It's a quote. Discuss the idea behind that post ("Style (image branding and marketing) are just as much art forms as music"), don't be an idiot triggered when you're seeing some popstars mentioned.

>I've never listened to Grimes and I'd probably like her music, but thanks to people like you I'm not going to find out.
You wouldn't have listen to her in any case (e.g. you would never hear about her). Nothing of value has been lost.

>>68582800
See this >>68582802

btw it's not necessary to have the keyword "grimes" in the subject title in order to be filtered. Just filter "grimes" and hopefully I'll never see your whiny mug again.

shrug

Take a look at what I've done over here >>68583009 →. Believe me, this cancer can be killed.

I think we should get the ball rolling on this, it's time.

You're pointing out that you're cancerous stupid spammer that should be blocked forever.

Chemo hurts, I guess? Take note people, they can't handle much before they fold.

This would actually be so easy.

>>68583768
Chemo? You're fighting "cancer" with cancer? You must be stupid.

>>68583821
lol

From now on I'm going to shitpost all your grimes threads into oblivion and there's nothing you or anybody else can do about it. I'm gonna do it for the lulz.

>>68583862
Just try that, dumbass, and see what happens. Enjoy your ban.

Fuckin' watch me. You haven't witnessed weaponized autism until you've witnessed mine.

Let's see what you got, autist.

>>68584187

I'm shittin' up four grimes threads as we speak. You should add another one, I'm already gettin' bored.

>>68584205
>implied grimesfags are cancer

Jepsen is a more successful and popular artist than grimes

I don't get your point. Grimes' "style" isn't original; you can see this in about any indie "alternative" community. Her message isn't original either.

>>68584295
>Jepsen is a more successful and popular artist than grimes
She's more marketable and radio friendly. Classic popstar look. Bieber is way more popular than Jepsen, so what's your point?

>I don't get your point. Grimes' "style" isn't original; you can see this in about any indie "alternative" community. Her message isn't original either.
Grimes is original, CRJ is just a safe Taylor Swift-lite. Could you name another artist like Grimes?

>>68583415
Clearly that you're a moron.

It's not exactly a secret what happens to trolls who brag about being trolls - especially in Grimes-related threads on /mu.

>>68584448
lol

No, sorry. You'll soon come to respect my work though.

>>68584473
>Thinks posting on 4chan is his 'Work'

I love how you use commercial success and artistic merit totally interchangeably.

This place has really become a joke.

>>68584500
Mods do it for free, why should I be any different?

i love her

>>68584519
lol

Btw - when are you gonna get around to starting that new official /Grimes/ thread you keep talking about excitedly?

>>68584473
I'll respect your "work" by reporting it all the time. You're asking for a ban, I see.

>>68584894
I'm not.

I'm just going to shit up the one that gets posted. I'm not in any rush or anything.

>>68584993
lol

Sorry, but no one here with a brain believes you.

>>68585105
No one here with a brain would still be replying.

This is like worse than christain apologetics.

>>68582490

Man, I like some of Grimes stuff and don't really have a strong opinion on her. But god damn I'm so tired of seeing so many threads about her. They're usually all ironic or pointless and make me not want to listen to her. She fine, nothing exceptional. Why do we need so many threads.....

You have to go back.

>>68588720
She tends to elicit very strong reactions from people. It stems from the fact that she is a highly subversive artist who is also very good at her job.

>>68589076

Stop

Because she's actually exceptional. If you don't see that, it's your problem.

Agreed. This is why M.I.A. is GOAT also.

>>68590347
She kinda lost some steam with her latest album. Borders was solid though.

>>68590572
She's still had an excellent career and discog, even if AIM is a bit minor compared to past releases.

My point was though that M.I.A. is an unparalleled aesthetic stylist. Every aspect of her creativity follows a coherent and linked branding and aesthetic. She's extraordinary.
