They weren't.

>Teenage Boucher’s obsessions ranged from space travel, to the twelfth-century composer Abbess Hildegard von Bingen, to Russian existentialist lit. She crushed so hard on Dostoyevsky that she even flew to St. Petersburg to attend an intensive Russian immersion.

>But as with Grimes’ music, Boucher preferred autodidactism. Garossino recalls hearing Boucher teach one of Chopin’s nocturnes to herself, bar by bar. But only through the wall—at the time, Boucher had too much stage fright to even play the piano in front of her mother.

>“Something that people don't understand about Claire is her searing intellect and focus,” Garossino said. “Whenever you think you've figured her out, she's already three moves ahead. Things are never what they seem.”

>Her mother related how at McGill, the wunderkind wanted to take physics, but couldn’t stand introductory courses. Instead, Boucher entered higher-level classes and studied the prerequisite material at the same time. “She would nearly kill herself studying—surviving on almost no sleep for weeks at a time.”

>“And that's how she makes music today. In long, solitary blasts of blistering intensity.”

She's smarter than you think.

>In a year when Glastonbury has paid tribute to David Bowie and Prince, two artists celebrated for being relentlessly creative, individual and fearless, the Canadian singer/songwriter/producer Grimes – real name Claire Boucher – proves that their maverick spirit lives on in a new generation. Grimes might just be the best pop star in the world right now – here’s why.

That's just a random article. I could post hundreds of articles praising her to prove my point.

What reason, you little nazi?

>>71197594
What reason? Because not everyone is an embarrassment to humanity and has a waifu, therefore, containment threads like Kpop generals and Grimes generals exist. You're not making anyone more sympathetic to your favorite artist from a containment thread by posting about her outside of it.

>>71197794

I'm sure that will stop daily Lana, Chvrches, St. Vincent and Grimes threads. And again, I'm not a moderator. I have no power over people who post here. But please, let's be reasonable and try not to ruin one of the boards worth visiting on this forsaken website by more and more waifu threads.

>>71203893
Why do you associate Grimes with Kpop generals? Are you an idiot? Not only Kpop threads have 3x more pics, but also 3x less music discussion. Stop this stupid meme.

>>71203971
Well then, I'm sure that Grimes generals visitors discuss music theory, but surely not her looks. Oh, but what's this? People asking about her feet photos and commenting on her nipples?
https://archive.rebeccablacktech.com/mu/?task=search&ghost=&search_text=Grimes

>>71203960
Grimes threads aren't waifu threads, they're about an artist and that is allowed according to /mu/'s official rules. Do you have a problem with these beautiful artists' photos? Bad luck for you, you're on an image board, don't whine about this.

>try not to ruin one of the boards worth visiting
Did you see the catalog? The waifu threads are barely 5% of the whole content. The rest? Memes, jokes, charts, soundcloud, even more memes, trolling. Did I say memes?

>>71204095
>>71204032

>Do you have a problem with these beautiful artists' photos?
This is a music board. Sure, photos of artists are going to be posted, because this is an imageboard; it's fine. But I care about discovering new music and getting recommendations.
>The waifu threads are barely 5% of the whole content
I'd say it's a slow day.
>The rest? Memes, jokes, charts, soundcloud, even more memes, trolling
Yeah, and those threads are surely making this board better. Let's lower the amount of spillovers from containtment threads, shall we? That would at least get rid of some bait threads about St. Vincent, Grimes, etc. Just how I wouldn't go to /metal/ to discuss jazz music, you shouldn't insert Grimes in every single conversation here.

Grimes threads (except the obvious trolling ones) are on topic.

>This is a music board. Sure, photos of artists are going to be posted, because this is an imageboard; it's fine. But I care about discovering new music and getting recommendations.
There are some specific threads for that purpose. It's harder to find them among the sea of memes.

>I'd say it's a slow day.
It depends. You could ignore them, they don't harm you in any way.

>Yeah, and those threads are surely making this board better. Let's lower the amount of spillovers from containtment threads, shall we? That would at least get rid of some bait threads about St. Vincent, Grimes, etc.
Why these threads exist? Because people like you are so triggered. Why don't you just filter/hide (shift click) them? It takes few seconds.

>Just how I wouldn't go to /metal/ to discuss jazz music, you shouldn't insert Grimes in every single conversation here.
If the thread's topic is fitting, why not?

>>71204257
And btw, learn to tell the difference between legit threads and trolling threads. e.g. >>71203897 is clearly a trolling thread. Many of these threads are created by people who really hate her, apparently to piss off her /mu/ fanbase.

>>71204427
>Why these threads exist? Because people like you are so triggered. Why don't you just filter/hide (shift click) them? It takes few seconds.
Well, the problem is that most jazz threads die with less than 20 responses and these bait and other low quality threads generally hit a bump limit. And there are days when there is nothing but bait threads. I have quite a long filter list, but that's clearly not stopping many people.

IMO jazz is boring. As a genre is pretty much dead. It's living in the past, the current artists are far from legends like Miles Davis, Coltrane, Armstrong,... these days. You have your answer: these threads die because there's a low interest. Despite /mu/ claiming to be patrician, they're listening to pop music most of the time.

>these bait and other low quality threads generally hit a bump limit

Jazz has been dead commerically since its departure from swing. That doesn't mean that jazz music isn't being made today, just how classical music hasn't died. There are crazy people trying to survive of jazz today, I know. And boring isn't a valid point of criticism. I feel the same way as far as pop and other mainstream genres of music go. I don't have any more time for this, so let's sum up:
>Why not make this board even better instead of turning it into another of a dozen waifu worship boards here? And please don't act like having waifus is some noble cause. Again, you can like your favorite female artists all you want, but do it in a containment thread.
>But please, let's be reasonable and try not to ruin one of the boards worth visiting on this forsaken website by more and more waifu threads.

This. Apparently some folks are super triggered at the mere mentioning of her name. These folks keep the vicious circle running. These folks also are trying really hard to insult her, get a strong opposition and then whine like crybabies that "grimesfans are the wrost fanbase".

Ford and Lopatin DJed also. It was at 285 Kent. Grimes played Visions in it's entirety before anyone knew what it was at all and it was NEXT LEVEL. She also sang me Happy Birthday in Russian.

She has a great figure (albeit very slim), takes care of herself, and her face. By god that is the face of a deity, I have seen it. Those high cheekbones, that jaw, those ears, that nose... and christ almighty those eyes and that brow are like a sucker punch delivered straight to the brain's lust centre. She's absolutely gorgeous, and her physical beauty is only helped out by the fact that she's an extremely talented creative (no matter how much you and your stupid friends like to argue otherwise) with a penchant for making excellent, catchy songs. She's also got a huge heart and excellent fashion sense, and overall she represents the pinnacle of the post-ironic, post-internet millennial.

Just lame personal attacks related to her look (despite the fact she featured in multiple fashion magazines) and personality (despite the fact she donated money for charity, caring about environment and her fans).

Dude, I think you didn't even listen to her music. Her style is synthpop, so it's synthesizer-based. The guitars are more like embellishment, to serve the rythmic foundation. So, why the hell do you expect jazz-level guitar playing on a synthpop album? Are you insane?

BTW, her music has much more elements than guitars.

Lol. The irony is that electronic noise musicians like Grimes (which is what she technically is btw, regardless of whether or not most of her music in recent years has tended to be classifiable as synth-pop) who can perform and improvise live are the 21st century upgrade of jazz musicians.

You poor little thing, you probably don't realize that she's singing out of tune.

>>71223388
I noticed that, kid. But it doesn't fucking matter. Bob Dylan and Lou Reed also sang out of tune, does that mean they're not good? The song is so good that some mistakes are forgivable. And btw, she never claimed to be a good singer; the singing is secondary to her instrumentals.

>>71223500
Singing is secondary, the guitar isn't her primary instrument, it's all forgivable... This is why mediocrity is so prevalent. Oh, and another one: "Meh, close enough, we'll fix it in the mix".

Yes indeed. The synths and samplers are her main bread and butter. Also she's mainly a songwriter and producer. You're expecting technical perfection from Grimes you're just out of luck. She's charming because of her DIY approach to music.

Dude I used to hang out with Stan Lee probably before you were born. I know what I'm talking about.

Great works of music are just like any other great works of art: the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

There are no examples of absolutely objectively perfect musical delivery (and the closest things to it are considered the most lifeless.) All that actually matters is the effect the music has on you when you actively listen to it.

Good post. Sometimes the mistakes add character to music. There's a reason why most "perfectly" sounding music (e.g. some techno) sound so sterile. Good music has some grit, some human element in it.

>All that actually matters is the effect the music has on you when you actively listen to it.
Well said. This really matters, not some technicalities. There are plenty of musicians who make technically correct music, but really dull (Dream Theater anyone?).

"no"

>>71223549
Everything in music is secondary to one special thing: the subjective value of sound.
Instruments are merely a means to an end, and different ways of playing those instruments of even less importance.

Anon, that would just indicate that the weird stuff she does on stage is intentional.

Kate Bush is the only respectable waifu you can have, and partially because she's like 60 now

>>71223792
Dream Theater? You couldn't have chosen a better example? What about jazz? Almost every jazz performance is as close to perfection as humanly possible and it still feels human and not mechanic.

>tens of drum tracks
This is a great sign of incompetence. If you need several drum tracks, there is a 90% probability of the song being dogshit. Almost as bad is retards who think they need 360 degrees of drums to lay down a solid rhythm

>>71225673
>This is a great sign of incompetence.
Bullshit. It's a sign of a big talent if you're able to do that PROPERLY. The end result matters.

>>71225952
Link me one of her songs with ten drum tracks and let me listen to it, then

Here's a generic example of how nice a rhythm you can play with a very standard drum kit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlO7mHxfb2Y

>>71226077
This song has more than 10 drum tracks (skip the first minute): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTLTXDHrgtw

These are properly layered drums, always interesting from start to end. And they don't sound muddy or messy

>>71226194
You're right, but I have another question: Why are there over 10 drum tracks? Doesn't sound like it had to be split up that much.

Grimes puts a strong emphasis on beats. She wants the beats to be powerful, so maybe that's why she used so many drum layers. I think that every track is slighly different to the others and the overall effect is really awesome. She's really focused on details.

>I'm always listening for interesting sounds. Like, for example, I recently took a sample of some percussion that had a lot of melodic information in it, put the verb up to 100% and then sampled the verb so that none of the original sample was there but it contained the melodic information. Sometimes I record things in the house like beads or whatever etc. Sometimes I get found samples from online bird watching communities or this or that, haha. Usually I use some combination of these methods.

>For the song “Venus Fly", for example, I had these awesome 808s, that I built using two different 808 sounds. Then I sampled a dentist drill and tuned it to the 808s and layered it very lightly on top so that they sounded a bit more savage but also wide and clean cuz I think I panned the drill hard and the 808s were mono in the center.

She's operating on a different level compared to most electronic artists.
