is it true that half of /mu/ hate her because she's a female

half of /mu/ hate her because they have shit taste, the other half only like her cause she's cute.

what about her music? you couldn't like someone for too long based on just image.

>>70615785
grimes sucks

>>70615785
waifu fags can and do like artists strictly based on image. music is secondary to "feet". Hell...they like anime.

>>70615870
could you prove that?
>>70615921
wait a minute: do you imply that half of /mu/ are waifufags that care only about her image and don't give a fuck about her music? that's a wild theory that you better prove it.

>>70615947
have you even read /grimes/?

80% of it is waifufags.

grimes is le poo poo

>>70615731
I honestly don't like her because she's a fucking grinch, I'm not joking at all. Who the fuck is such a downer on christmas?

>>70616007
i read it. you're wrong: there are some dipshits posting crap but for the most part the posts are on topic. waifufags are reknown for spamming photos; on /grimes/ there are way less photos than your usual waifu thread. so.....

I honestly haven't listened to her and I don't intend to. I hate her because of this boards obsession. I put her lower than the kpop threads in order of importance

>>70616777
Once again, did I say anything about appearance?

people hate annoying faggots who spam her everywhere

>>70617042
When you call someone a grinch you aren't calling them ugly, you're calling them a bitter cunt, in this case over Christmas, but it can use it in other contexts to describe someone who is a buzzkill.

>>70615731
Never listened to her music, but the constant threads popping up outside of the Grimes containment thread are making me consider hating her on principle

>>70615731
80% of mu hates her because she's just a dumbed down synthpop Kate Bush

>>70617821
>a dumbed down synthpop Kate Bush
i've never seen a more ridiculous thing in my life. grimes is grimes, kate bush is kate bush, they're both doing their own thing. you believe that shit, don't pretend 80% of mu is doing the same. even assuming that's true, i don't see that as a reason to hate her.

I hate her obsessive fans, her music is alright, but god damn these faggy ass grimes fans need to stop with the idoltry.

It's other peoples' behavior. I can gather, with fair enough accuracy, that it takes someone severely socially stunted to continue posting the same shit topic time and time again in a board that clearly despises the subject.
Either that or a masochist, in which case I assume you listen to music bad enough to consider as punishment, which I'm not interested in hearing.

>>70615731
No, because:
Due to the culture of rampant contrarianism on this board, the only time you are going to see a huge majority here saying that they "like" something is when the thing in question isn't good enough to be worth hating. Likewise, the only time you are going to see a huge majority here saying that they "hate" something is when the thing in question IS good enough to be worth hating (because - to paraphrase/expand upon Taylor Swift by way of James Brooks - people throw rocks at things that shine because things that shine make better targets.)
For an artist, being universally loved on /mu is a bad sign. Likewise being universally hated on /mu is a bad sign. However being simultaneously strongly loved AND strongly hated by /mu is a wonderful sign, since the size of that dichotomy itself is the closest thing this place has to offer to a true judgment of artistic value.
The proof that Grimes or any other artist for that matter IS a great artist (insofar as /mu hive-mind opinion is concerned) lies in the degree to which said artist is able to DIVIDE this place. Only the greatest artists can do that.

>>70619147
Interesting idea. So where does 90% despised put an artist? Outside of the main Grimes thread I practically never see positive things about her aside from one or two very recognizable posters fighting everyone. And a lot of shitposting in the main Grimes thread too.

>>70619066
>I can gather, with fair enough accuracy, that it takes someone severely socially stunted to continue posting the same shit topic time and time again in a board that clearly despises the subject.
You mean a truly despised topic/behavior like shitposting/trolling in threads on musical subjects that you don't like? No, I can't fathom it either.

>>70619212
>So where does 90% despised

No one mentioned anything about exact percentages, anon. This is about intensity of expression.

Do you plan to listen to her music? At least to see what all the fuss was about.

Hey guys, I have only got into synthpop recently.

Is her music anything like Silent Shout? I really enjoyed that album

not really, waifuism plays a large part here
also there are some who do just post her just as bait to start another argument

>>70619652
originally yes, but anons post the strawpoll links in grimes threads
https://archive.rebeccablacktech.com/mu/thread/S70035152#p70035182

No. I hate her because I've literally seen people on her say she's the "new Mozart".

Like, what the fuck, man? Go listen to more music.

>>70620600
>not really, waifuism plays a large part here
No way. Her threads barely have images. In a 300+ thread you could barely see 40-60 pics (including the unrelated ones). Case in point, the current thread: >>70571595

195 posts, 39 images (a picture every 5 posts). That's not a waifu thread is supposed to be.

>>70619591
but she's be dead :D

>>70620652
So, you hate her because some people believe she's the new Mozart? That's stupid.

>195 posts, 39 images (a picture every 5 posts). That's not a waifu thread is supposed to be.
there's more to it than just pictures
go back and look at how many posts are about her appearance and her dating

She can't join the club anymore

>>70620899
I know! How stupid of them. Can't get any more ignorant.

>>70620103
No, I probably never will

>>70615731
/mu/ hates her because waifufags like yourself keep posting outside the containment thread

>>70620103
I listened to some of her songs and she's okayish, but I don't see myself becoming a fan in the near future

>>70621439
someone doesn't care about people

>>70620898
Anon, Kurt's life, death, and musical legacy have had more than 20 years to get old as topics for conversation, and he STILL manages to get almost daily threads on /mu either dedicated to him directly or just playing on people's TRIGGERED responses to the mere sight of him.

Imagine what a place like /mu would've been like during the years immediately after he kicked the bucket. Now imagine what this - and other places like it - would be like if something truly terrible did actually happen to Grimes. I'm a HUGE Grimes fan.

However I also enjoy discussing other music-related things. You think it's hard having a non-Grimes related music discussion on /mu now? Just imagine...

she might have gotten the largest percentage number, but even so, this proves that 77% (out of 313) of people on /mu/ don't like Grimes as much as any other female artist and 57% (out of 204) don't think she's a great artist (and I'm sure there are more than 313 people on /mu/ at any given time).

Speaking of Kurt Cobain:
>For a long time I had this theory: the impossibility of a female Kurt Cobain. What he represents, leaning against the system and yet supported by consumers, there was no woman in the world that could command the masses so utterly. The music industry wouldn't let her. This thing I've been stewing about since I saw Grimes play to 20 people in 2011, and started reading her Tumblr, and then really starting feeling when "Oblivion" came out, is that Claire is the closest thing we have to a female Kurt Cobain, smart enough to understand the system but righteous enough to wall-jump away from it. But also, interestingly, what an inversion her approach is to Kurt's. His pose was anti-establishment, her pose is post-structural. He was rigorous, she is always looking outward, game for genre-experimentation and hilarity. I feel like even if I don't like her music, and I do so far, I will always feel like she's several steps ahead of me, several books ahead of me, and that makes me feel really fucking good. Anyone who gives her grief about anything can kick rocks as far as I'm concerned.

http://www.undertheradarmag.com/interviews/2014_artist_survey_owen_pallett/

Grimes is truly a phenomenon.

>>70621390
Good. You don't deserve to hear her music in the first place.

>>70621703
Grimes just started to influence people. The real impact of her legacy will be visible in a few years. Have some patience.
