Discuss Grimes [Claire Elise Boucher], the best artist of this generation.
David Byrne:
>I started collecting pictures of Grimes, Madonna, Kate Bush, Sinèad O’Connor, on and on—popular musicians are obsessed with her. This trend inspired the premise for the show: a pop star decides to give in to the Joan obsession and tell her epic story in concert.

How is she a weeb? She's been a music person since early childhood, and not an anime watching neet.
>>70339227
it's just a lighthearted joke since it's a known fact she's into Asian culture
>>70339227
Not that anon, but it was actually Weeby Awards - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYlEup9Pb0g
She's so awkward...

She thinks Asian men are cute? So what, only jealous men think otherwise.

I'm a little stunned, I've never been tracked like this before, usually I'm doing the tracking.

That David Byrne quote isn't even about Grimes. Like he just mentions her in passing. You're seriously reaching.
when i heard about grimes on here i was excited to go listen to her because sometimes /mu/ actually rants about amazing music. but alas, i was met with some cringey anime pop that i could picture a pizza-faced, pedostached, $15 carpenter jeans wearing high school outcast jamming out to in the back of his decelerated math class. solid 3/10 music.

i was happy

>That David Byrne quote isn't even about Grimes.
Are you stupid? He clearly mentioned her, among other artists. It's about her AND other artists.
>>70340236
It's a good thing that your bullshit opinion is irrelevant. Solid 0/10 post.
>>70339182
She looks like she's at a tech conference
"And with the new Apple Weeb you will be able to listen to me in SPACE, where you meant to listen to me!"
>>70342516
Her music is spacey, so.....
>>70342434
It's about Joan of Arc and he mentions Grimes in passing as a "popular musician". How can you not admit that to use this as an accolade for Grime is reaching like fuck.
>>70342608
It's not reaching at all. The fact remains: David Byrne collected pictures with Grimes and other artists. Why do you have a problem with that? FYI Byrne collaborated with the /mu/ approved female artist St. Vincent, so that shouldn't be surprising.
>>70342707
>David Byrne collected pictures with Grimes and other artists
So? My point was that that quote isn't a quote about Grimes, let alone an honorific. What I have a problem with is you guys using spurious things like this to support your narrative that Grimes is the best or most important musician in the world. I don't even dislike her; I think her music is decent. And I have no problem with other people liking her. But putting baity things like this about her in your OPs only puts me off her if anything. You guys are like the ISIS wing of Grimes fandom.
when do you think the venus fly video is gonna drop?
>>70343353
>What I have a problem with is you guys using spurious things like this to support your narrative that Grimes is the best or most important musician in the world.
Did we say that? At best we said she's the best musician of this decade, not of all time. And we're using whatever means necessary to support our arguments.
e.g.
>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.

>But putting baity things like this about her in your OPs only puts me off her if anything.
If you're a naive person (easily influenced), maybe this board isn't suited to you. You're delusional if you think some anons care that some "baity" words put you off her. We could believe and say whatever we want, remember freedom of speech?

>weak trolling attempt
>not as forward-pushing and experimental as her peers

Is the meme that she's so ugly and untalented that people fall in love with her due to the endearing factor that gets built up as a result?
>>70351707
i like them more than generic pop songs through a cheap reverb filter with nasally whining over the top.
>>70351773
So, you're a pleb
>generic pop songs
Similar artists?
More than 80 posts, and NONE OF THEM relate anyhow to Grimes' music but are literally only useless spam, just as kpop is not about music. This just goes to show that you are bunch of waifufags that only masturbate to her and don't care about her music whatsoever. Pathetic, these threads are becoming just like kpop general, which is a shame since Grimes has some music worth discussing. Well, adding "grimes" into filter. Bye.
>>70351799
subtract the 'intentionally shitty recording quality+lots of reverb' aesthetic that she relies on to differentiate herself and it's literally no different than any other synthpop.
>>70351753
>not as forward-pushing and experimental as her peers
>implying music is a competition
>The golden mean, the truth, is no longer recognized or valued. To win applause one must write stuff so simple that a coachman might sing it, or so incomprehensible that it pleases simply because no sensible man can comprehend it.
— Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, writing to his father in 1782
Her music is between pop and experimental. By the way she never claimed to be 100% experimental. What it really matters is the actual music: her music is marvellous and emotional. She found that golden mean mentioned by the good old Mozart. That's why people adore her.
>certainly not as attractive as them either
What that has to do with music? In any case, many people love her appearance. The beauty is in the eye of the beholder, bruh.
>>70351773
whats the difference though

>>70351907
look guys here he goes
>>70351865
You are correct, there really is no discussion about her music in any of threads about her.
>>70351967
there's a music discussion like one post ahead of yours
>>70351865
are you blind?
i took the bait
>>70351991
So music discussion started at the 85th reply of this thread about a musician? Wow!!!
>>70352025
let me guess
you spend all day everyday sending the baits into grimes threads
@music discussions autists:
On /mu/ are allowed both music and artist discussions. Read the rules, damn it!
>Discuss music, A R T I S T S, and instruments here. All images should relate to the topic at hand.
/grimes/ respect this rule. If you don't like it, fuck off.
>>70352062
Then prove me wrong. Just scroll a little through this thread - it looks exactly like a kpop thread, the only difference being this is about one woman only and those are about more women at once.
>>70352102
>implying there's any discussion in these threads whatsoever
it's all shitposting and waifufagging
My IQ dropped from browsing this thread.
>>70352163
>it's all shitposting
...by dipshits like you who don't even like her, but shitpost because they can.
>and waifufagging
There are just 10 Grimes images posted ITT. That's perfectly normal in a thread with almost 100 posts. Keep your stupid assumptions to yourself, buddy.
>>70352164
Your IQ was already zero, so...
>>70352104
you're talking about lack of music discussion on the board that has hundreds of meme threads everyday or threads where people just post lyrics and make memes out of them like this >>70342531, why don't you complain about it
btw the music disussion starts here >>70340236

>>70352243
I don't mind meme threads, the problem with this kind of thread is that grimesfags like to convince everyone they like her because of her music and how her music is of such great quality but when you come to a /grimes/ threads you see it's only waifufagging, circlejerking and incoherent shitposting. Meme threads acknowledge they are memeing and that's fine, while grimesfags won't admit that Grimes is a meme (just like that crusher girl) but try to push her as a legit artist and you can't do that without actually discussing her music like we discuss in other artists' threads who are not memes. Do you see normal discussion in "Does /mu/ like death metal" ? No, because it's a meme.
>>70352360
do you like radiohead?
>>70218037
>>70352360
That's shitposting and I already mentioned it >>70352221 There's no real moderation here and you can't stop that. People shitpost because they can.
>>70352443
You have a point but don't forget you're in a /grimes/ thread so you'll get attacked for this post whatsoever.
w/e at least grimes posters don't have anger issues over people talking about a musician.
anti grimes posters blow a gasket every time, every single time.
>>70352443
>you see it's only waifufagging, circlejerking and incoherent shitposting
why
there's also always music discussion in these threads
there are also daily grimes threads outside of /grimes/ where people serioulsy talking about her music
wtf are you talking about
>>70352443
Her music is great regardless of the meme status. She's a meme because she's very interesting and popular. The meme status has NOTHING to do with the quality of the music (e.g. 21p are pretty bad, yet popular; Bjork is great and popular, just like Grimes).
>the problem with this kind of thread
The problem is that you don't filter what you don't like. Her general threads always have her name posted, so what's your excuse now?
people think its a green light to hate posters for talking about grimes because they're the autists with anger issues.
post anything positive about grimes in an anti grimes thread and then suddenly we're the bad guys so haters come in here and start raging about what..? nothing coherent.
>>70352486
The Grimes fans are actually chill most of the time. It's the haters that "blow a gasket every time". Later, you could see them whining that her fanbase sucks because they were btfo.
>>70352569
Ya. I know why - because they like finding people to bully.
>>70352238
so his iq is negative now. that's even worse !
>>70352443
BTW anon, you must be new here. Every single thread about a female artist is doomed to have shitposting. Didn't see those Bjork or St. Vincent threads that consist mostly of memes, pics, shitposting and hateposting?
>grimesfags wondering why everyone hates them
Because nobody likes spamming and forced memes. Every now and then someone will try to force an album or an artist to become /mu/core or loved by /mu/ and they'll fail because forced memes were never successful on 4chan. You don't see people going on other artists' threads to "rage" and "hate" as you describe it because those artists aren't spammed aggressively and inavsively all over the fucking board (>>70348484 this "proud" faggot) and there aren't 100 threads created about them every day. But sure, it's cute how grimesfags think the problem is in everyone else and they don't even question their own behavior. Really mature and doesn't show their underageness.
>>70352631
Ok I did that. But to be fair it was in retaliation to real hate posting.
>>70352486
>>70352569
>>70352591
The haters seek fights but when they get their ass kicked, they suddenly become crybabies. :))))
>>70352542
>people think its a green light to hate posters for talking about grimes because they're the autists with anger issues.
Then explain why these 'autists with anger issues' only do this for Grimes and not for other artists.
>>70352631

>>70351888
>473 - 470 = 3
>473 is pretty much 3
this is your logic
>>70352681
Because Grimes is like a magnet. They know she's an easy target: independent female, quirky personality, werid looks, synthpop musician, feminist, libertarian, vegan, strong opinionated woman.
>>70352702
>>70352746
you are assigning WAY too much value to a delay pedal and a shitty microphone.

men who feel the need to shit on grimes because of their Superior Conoisseur Knowledge of music is why i keep coming back.
>>70352697
Are you kidding me? Search the archive for Joanna, Kate Bush, Bjork, etc threads. In fact there's more legit music and artist discussion is a Grimes thread than in the other ones.

Grimes is not a forced meme, you autist. She's the most discussed female artist on mu since 2012. These are FACTS.

Grimes is probably eating a snack, chilling on her bed or couch and watching a movie or making more music stuff.

>>70353855

except for you right?
I feel bad for people who refuse to get into her music. There's so much beauty waiting to be unraveled. These are the same kind of people that rejoiced on her every misstep (e.g. that Coachella performance when she was super criticized). Awful people, unable to relate to truly emotional music and to an authentic artist.

She's a celebrity so it wouldn't be a good idea to do a lot of stuff in public because of paparazzi.
I dunno. I wonder if she's a good DnD player? I would like to play DnD with her people.
>>70353902
1) it's not a boob window
2) it's just a random photoshoot for magazine
3) it's not even her own sweater
Reminder that even Elton John is a fan:
The icon is well-versed in today’s music and always open to new collaborations, namechecking an eccentric young rapper. “There’s a new act, who I love, called Young Thug, who I think is fantastic,” John said. “He’s brilliant.”
Other acts John’s into these days: Hudson Mohawke, Grimes (“Her second record — Art Angels — is a brilliant record”), Chris Stapleton (“Tennessee Whiskey” is one of the most surprising things I heard last year), Kacey Musgraves, and FKA Twigs.

>Grimes: ‘I want to remake cult sci-fi movie ‘Dune”
>The electro-pop artist, who has referenced Frank Herbert’s 1965 sci-fi novel in her songs, claims it would be her “dream” to make a new film version. David Lynch previously brought the book to the big screen in 1984. Grimes told Bust magazine: “I want to direct a full-length film of Dune. I liked the David Lynch version, but everyone knows that he didn’t really care about it. I just feel there isn’t really a great Dune movie in the same way that there’s a Lord Of The Rings movie. I think by the time I’m 50, it’ll be time for another Dune movie, and I’d love to make it. That’s the dream of my life.”

http://www.baeblemusic.com/musicblog/1-19-2016/is-grimes-the-true-spiritual-successor-to-david-bowie.html
And the Prince of her generation:
http://www.nme.com/blogs/nme-blogs/grimes-glastonbury-set-proved-bowie-and-prince-s-maverick-spirit-lives-on
And the Brian Eno of her generation:

And the Beethoven of her generation:

And - perhaps most aptly imo - the Kurt Cobain of her generation:

All of which is to say that, with so many apt comparisons to be made between Grimes and such a diverse list of musical luminaries, the only real conclusion you can make is that she must also share in the one thing that all these other people had in common: being a musical luminary.
>>70357498
That's right!
>>70354071
Yes. Other music. Which also gets discussed by Grimes fans like me... in threads where they are topical...

>But putting baity things like this about her in your OPs
>Here I was expecting someone brimming with whimsy, but instead she was a 24-year-old girl; rather down to earth and just coming to terms with the concept of fame. The fame that brings David Byrne of Talking Heads to your shows. When his name came up, Boucher was absolutely ecstatic, like an excited little puppy. “The tour in America was fucking insane. David Byrne being there was crazy. I kinda wish I knew he was there before the show… But then again if I did, I probably would’ve been really nervous.”
http://fbiradio.com/interview-grimes
David Byrne has been a confirmed Grimes fan for at least 5 years. Face it, anon - this thread isn't bait.
>>70338856
You mean 'hate' - not 'like'.
>>70355214
IMO Grimes is more the Quentin Tarantino type.
Don't kiss Grimes.
Grimes is fucking disgusting!
Grimes is a goddess
please assimilate me, Claire
>>70359799
why? she already knows anyway
I'm sorry Grimes, my apologies in advance.
Grimes is hot, she has the lithe body of an elf lady from a fantasy book.
She's pretty >>70355702
She has the long limbed and skinny body without being really tall.

> the best artist of this generation
Geidi Primes wasn't even the best album of 2010 by fair margin.
Visions was just above average 80's synthpop nostalgia rehashed a few decades late.
Art Angels showed us that she has no interest in doing anything but becoming a mediocre psuedo popstar who will just coast off releasing the same album for the rest of her career.
Grimes ran out of steam before most of us even knew who she was and she stays relevant because of her waifu status, and just like every waifu before her, she will just be cast aside when the "new & hip" waifu comes and replaces her.
In ten years, Grimes will be a piece of interesting trivia amongst thousands of others.
she looks like a monkey and she acts like one too
>>70362082
nah
>>70338660
she is a good girl
>>70358238
The haters can't stand the fact that the fans always post sources to support their arguments. The haters are left with tired shitposting...
>>70362082
Wrong, wrong, wrong.
>Geidi Primes wasn't even the best album of 2010 by fair margin.
It was her humble debut. Still amazing. Also you forgot about Halfaxa (2010) and the EP Darkbloom (2011).
>Visions was just above average 80's synthpop nostalgia rehashed a few decades late.
Having synthpop influences =/= 80's synthpop nostalgia rehashed a few decades late. Her brand of synthpop is unique and includes influences from other genres such as r&b, idm, ambient, medieval, classical, dreampop. If you believe Visions is generic, post a similar album. BTW Visions was super acclaimed by those people who matter.
>Art Angels showed us that she has no interest in doing anything but becoming a mediocre psuedo popstar who will just coast off releasing the same album for the rest of her career.
Bullshit. AA was different than anything she had done in the past AND it was a triumph (her best sales, her biggest acclaim, her most successful tour).
>In ten years, Grimes will be a piece of interesting trivia amongst thousands of others.
Better screencap this. In 10 years you'll see how dumb you were.

Common things between Grimes & Bjork:
>weird voices
>quirky, playful personalities
>strange fashion sense
>interesting live shows
>acclaimed electronic music
>dedicated fanbase
>obscure albums before the proper breakthrough albums (Grimes has Geidi Primes & Halfaxa, Bjork has S/T album from 1977)

I could compare Bjork with Tyler, the Creator or anybody or anybody this way.

I can't/won't tell you what you should believe, anon. That's not how life works - not even on the internet.
>>70366167
I know music press often has shit taste (see them rave about Adele or Solange Knowles as if they are groundbreaking artists) or at least pretend to because it's socially acceptable.
>>70366341
Highly unlikely: grimes believes in saving the planet.

Trump wants to quit the Paris agreements and even seeks to find ways to bypass procedures early, while he works with organizations such as cei who are famous for doing everything in their power to destroy climate protections.
I understand not liking the political climate, but no matter how you put it he''s a disaster to the environment.

Not bad!
grimes is cute!
Easily, she's the sweetest thing I've ever seen.

Whatever floats your boat. She's not really pop though.

Re-posting myself from a thread ages ago:
>Fyi this is NOT a list of similarities between them. It is a list of COMMON DIFFERENCES they have when compared to most others. It says absolutely NOTHING about them being similar to each other.
>Technically speaking it is just a series of Illicit Negative fallacies ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affirmative_conclusion_from_a_negative_premise ) Eg:
>>Grimes has a weird voice.
>>Bjork has a weird voice.
>>Therefore Grimes and Bjork have similar voices.
>This is false because there are an infinite number of different variations of weird out there.
t. Big-time Grimes fan with nothing but respect for Bjork
>>70338660
>it's a grimes or one of her thirsty beta orbiters spams her pics in a pathetic attempt to drum up attention episode
even if you turn all of /mu/ into fans, you're music is shit and she'll never recieve critical or commercial acclaim, time for the smith and wesson retirement plan.
Grimes is not sexy.
>>70368825

Anon, where have you been for the past 5 years?
>>70368901
>where have you been for the past 5 years?
outside /mu/, where no one has heard of her
>>70368901
under a rock apparently....
everybody loves grimes, even normies. she just doesn't get radio play so her audience is considerably smaller than it has the potential to be.
>>70368597

There wouldn't be her related multiple threads everyday with useless discussions from her fans if she wouldn't be pop.

>>70369054

Aha! So this is aboot jealousy of Grim Jim.
>>70368789
It's about all those similarities put together. See the big picture.
That's fine music you're making there, lass. Aye.
>>70368825
>spams her pics
42 pics in a 300 posts thread is perfectly normal. Not counting that those 42 pics include memes and pics not related to her. e.g. >>70368609
>>70368825
>she'll never recieve critical or commercial acclaim
Check her reviews and some AOTY lists. You may have a surprise:

>>70369054
It's that these ''discussions'' always seems to be started by teenage girls. There's something in her music and appearance that makes her fans think that they know something about music and arts. The word ''Grimes'' makes me cringe only because of what I've seen on /mu/.
>>70369110
>similarities
>reading comprehension
Go reread what I wrote.
I'm not saying that there aren't ANY similar things between them AT ALL. Merely that the things on that list aren't them. It's a list of completely unqualified equivalences - not even similarities.
>>70368948
Yes. She's just an indie artist. No one should expect massive popularity when it comes to her.
>>70369259
What's wrong with teenage girls having a discussion, you sexist pyg.
Should I tattoo "Grimes" over my fist
>>70368979
Let's say there are bots (even it's way harder now on FB). How many of them "liked" her page without being detected by FB's system? 1000, 10000, 50000? More? Less? That's nothing compared to the total number of followers.
Grimes? Whatever happened to Kelly Rowland?
>>70369259
>There's something in her music and appearance that makes her fans think that they know something about music and arts.
It's the fact that it's so well done. It gives the listener/viewer the strong impression that THEY themselves are/were somehow involved in its creation/continued existence. It's the central value that all artists strive to communicate - self-identification.
>The word ''Grimes'' makes me cringe only because of what I've seen on /mu/.
Not sure if this is meant to be a diss at /mu or not, but if it was then imo it's totally warranted. /mu tends to be an awful place - through and through.
>>70369259
>There's something in her music and appearance that makes her fans think that they know something about music and arts.
>being this dumb
Do you think her fans listen only to her music? e.g. There are some of fave artists >>70354119
