Both Grimes and Bjork are memes on /mu (as is every other artist you see whose likeness gets used for threads not related to them.) However this says absolutely nothing about the quality of either's musical output, which - by virtually all accounts - is exceptionally brilliant. Being a meme is only a bad thing when it's the only thing someone has going for them. For neither Bjork or Grimes is this the case - not even on just /mu itself.

>>68847016
kurt vile is underrated on mu and in general

Fyi much of the "reputation" we voignamirians have on this board is itself a meme. A giant, multi-faceted meme carefully crafted BY US in order to assist in repelling haters. Because - unlike most other music fandoms - most of us actually understand how the Internet works.

You could say the exact thing about Grimes and you would be right.

They're both memes.

Actually yes. 100% yes. There are some instrumental versions of Visions and Art Angels floating around. You'd be surprised how well these songs stand out even without vocals. The instrumentation is the best thing about her music.

The biggest meme on /mu/ is that Grimes is just a meme. Those that actually listened to her music were surprised of how good it is. One of the rare cases where the hype is justified.

Listened to few seconds from her songs =/= listened to her music. I suspect your taste is quite shitty anyway.

>>68856876
death grips isn't noise tho

And death grips' music gives equal focus to all components of a song at once, while Clipping has some songs where focus on lyrics or focus on production horrendously overshadows what else is there.

Clipping's ridiculously accessible from Wriggle on.

He's right though. Grimes is a genius. Even Joanna Newsom is impressed:

>Interviewer: What young artists do you feel an affinity with? I heard you're a Kendrick fan.
>Joanna Newsom: I loved the latest Bjork album, I'm excited about the idea of Grimes. I haven't wrapped my head around the record. I find her so compelling and so unlike anybody else and so incredibly talented, skilled, and fun. I love her. I met her in LA a few months ago, she told me something along the lines of, "I grew up listening to your music". I will say, it made me feel really old for about five minutes, then it made me feel really happy. I was like well, I guess I'm old now, but that's okay because this awesome and amazing young musician likes my music and said that it was special to her when she was younger, so that's great.
https://i-d.vice.com/en_au/article/life-after-whimsy-joanna-newsom-is-no-ethereal-creature

>I’m super excited that Grimes is getting so much attention for her amazing production too because she’s super, super talented. And she does everything! She produces completely on her own.
http://www.spin.com/2015/11/joanna-newsom-divers-interview/

>I started to think of it as waveforms. The violin is not an uglier sound than the flute, it’s just a jagged waveform instead of a smooth waveform. There are certain things that, musically, I prefer over others: I like music that is in tune, I prefer when singers are in tune, I prefer when I’m in tune. In terms of people today, as I said, I’m a little out of the loop, but I have noticed I’m really excited by the way that Grimes frames herself, and seems utterly disinterested in her own beauty, which is really exciting to me. Sometimes it’s useful for an idea, and then other times it’s not useful for an idea, and she seems unaffected either way. I like her music as well, and I like what she says.

Lou Reed was out of touch with music. He was an old hack, fresh from his "successful" collab with Metallica, the dreadful Lulu. On the other hand, Joanna is still relevant and acclaimed and her opinions matter. Music is her bread and butter, so she knows better than you to spot a great artist.

It was a miscalculation on my part. Thought the usual 'Grimes-Derailing' would happen...
And it almost did.

>>68858504
"A little out of loop" (Joanna) =/= completely parallel (Reed).
