Got the same hair colour naturally and the same hair genetics. I'm nowhere near as good looking (he was an unbelievably attractive bloke) but I have a similar type of face.

I'll shut up because i know barely anything about grimes other than a couple of songs, but comparing a fairly new artist to someone who has such an illustrious body of work that still sounds fresh to this day is again, pretty ridiculous and no twitter posts or nme articles are going to change my mind. I'd compare her to Bowie when she has a ten year streak of 10/10 albums.

>>70354198
do you honestly feel like Bowie had a 10 year streak of 10/10 albums

>>70350875
Female Bowie is Bjork tbqh.

>>70354230
Yeah really.
He's my favorite artist but Pin Ups still exists. Man Who Sold the World to me is like an 8/10 too. Other than that I'd say they were all 10s.

>>70354041
>>70354082
I wonder if Brian Eno and Fripp would collaborate with her. I don't think so.

Exaggerating a bit, but pretty much flawless shit from 1970 till 1980

Man who sold the world (9/10)
Hunky Dory (10/10)
Ziggy (10/10)
Alladin Sane (9/10)
Diamond Dogs (9/10)
Young Americans (8/10)
Station to Station (10/10)
Low (10/10)
Heroes (10/10)
Lodger (9/10)
Scary Monsters (10/10)

Say what you will but i have yet to see an artist be so consistent at what he does. He did have a pretty bad streak in the 80's and 90's imo but he really came back strong with the early 00's and ofcourse the next day and blackstar which are 9's and 10's respectively.

>>70354298
No. She's the female Prince. Grimes is the female Bowie.

>>70354330
If they would be impressed by her music, why not? I think Eno would love her sound textures and inventive arrangements.

Grimes is the independent artist, producing on her own.
She doesn't need collaborators, especially white males.

I wanna say David Bowie.

Fripp impressed by bubblegum pop? Only in your head.

>>70351377
Who the fuck are Grimes? I've never heard of them.

>>70354392
This post sounds like something you'd find on DeviantArt when a user is wondering how different characters from different shows would interact with each other.

>>70351377
But Bowie isn't shit.

God, Grimes fans on this site are so fucking annoying.

It shows that you have no idea about her music, except maybe a few singles from Art Angels.

You're wrong. Both aren't shit, but great. Get your shit together.

For telling the truth? Yeah, truth hurts.

>>70354590
Just stop. Please. You have a containment thread.

>>70354613
The truth is Grimes isn't Bowie. There will never be another Bowie. Fuck off.

>>70354587
>Dune
Worst David Lynch movie 2bh. I guess it was kind of enjoyable in a cheesy way, but too call yourself a "Dune fan" seems a bit much.

>>70354644
She's not Bowie but she's on par with him. She doesn't have such a large discography YET, but she's working on it. So far she didn't release a bad album. Bowie can't claim that.

>>70354657
>Worst David Lynch movie 2bh
Movie? That was a list of her favourite books.

>>70354654
I don't even know. Waifu worship has to stop.

She prefers the book. The Dune series is the best selling sci fi ever. She's a huge fan, her album Geidi Primes is mostly inspired by it.

The album's title refers to the fictional planet Giedi Prime, of the Dune universe in a series of novels by Frank Herbert, originating with the 1965 novel Dune, Grimes' favourite book.

>"Caladan", the first track, refers to a fictional planet of the same name. The next, "Sardaukar Levenbrech", refers to the military rank of Levenbrech—roughly in between a sergeant and a lieutenant—in the fictional army of the Sardaukar. A Face Dancer, as used in track three's title "Zoal, Face Dancer", is a type of human in the series who can shapeshift.

>Track six, "Feyd Rautha Dark Heart", refers to the primary antagonist of the first novel in the Dune series, named Feyd-Rautha. "Shadout Mapes", the 10th track, refers to a minor character of the same name. Track 11, "Beast Infection", refers to the "Beast" nickname of the character Rabban.

>>70354714
Because you say so? Lmao!

>>70354360
I'd say YA is a 9/10 but otherwise I agree 100%, good list

>>70354696
Star Wars isn't a book either. Unless you count that EU garbage.

>>70354723
I was making a joke. I knew it was a book.

>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.”

I'm not that guy, but i get it. I understand that most of you people probably genuinely like the artist, it's just that it seems obsessive and at times it's annoying to constantly see people losing their shit over how cute she looks or how cool her tastes are or whatever, especially when it derails threads or shoves this shit into people who don't care. It's probably not even waifu in the same way people idolize kpop chicks but it looks similar and that's enough.

pic unrelated ofc

bases opinion on one article that only compares her to bowie in the title and basically jerks her off the whole time
>inb4 "jerks her off???"
>>70354082
goes through the effort to find six (6) articles that vaguely prove his or her point, one of which is a twitter post from grimes saying that her dad is forcing her through a bowie documentary
>>70354174
not explaining themselves, thinks it obvious that grimes is the answer

thick skulled and doesn't understand what he's saying, not introspective

OP here, just wanted to say meant this as a shitpost, sorry the grimesfags took it over.

>>70354654
It was a shitpost you cunt. Of course David Bowie is the David Bowie of music, he's a fucking musician. How was this lost on so many people?

So why are you complaining about shitposting in the thread if OP itself is a shitpost?

>>70355647
Because it's Grimes shitposting, and Grimes shitposting has turned into the modern MLP shitposting, it's getting really old and it shows up everywhere all the time
I wonder if Grimes or Kpop will get their own containment board all to themselves soon

>>70355729
What I was gonna say basically
I love shitposting stupid nonsense stuff but I don't shitpost the same thing over and over again and derail threads over it (not necessarily this one cause there was no point but in plenty of others)

>>70355846
PS in what way is Grimes musically similar to Bowie at all?
Also
>>70354365
>Bjork is the female Prince
Ok I love Bjork but they're nowhere near musically similar what are you on about

>>70353954
Oh shit, I thought Kira Yoshikage got run over in the end of part 4, how did I miss wen they arrested him
