I still have no idea who Grimes is

>>71822093
You know you're cherrypicking.

>>71822099
roll over

simple music is actually better than technical wank

it's why john lee hooker will never be outshined by some prog/metal band

>>71822093
I agree but Grimes is a smelly cunt.

>>71822193
John Lee Hooker, now there's a cunt that nobody listens to for pleasure anymore.

>>71822193
Writing simple-sounding songs, of course, is not simple. And some of the Beatles' stuff doesn't even sound that simple.

He had a long career, buddy. But Grimes's small discography is pretty diverse if you think about it: from barely there soft tunes like Heartbeats to raging songs like Scream.

>>71822551
If she does a Jazz Funk album I promise you she'll get a 200/10 just like Herbie did.
(But just to clarify, I'm meme-ing. Her albums are decent)

Pick one.

Also you could either be someone who hates grimes or a grimesfan who insists "GRIMESISALWAYSAMAZINGNOTJUSTDECENT" with that comment, hard to tell.

Not that anon, but Grimes is actually amazing not just decent. I like Herbie too.

>>71822844
AA was an 8
Haflaxa was a 7
Geidi and Visions were a 6.

Completely unbiased ratings.

>>71822093
Grimes is obviously better than the worst band ever existed on this stupid planet.

>>71822230
dude, what the fuck, have you heard the actually good john lee hooker records? like the graveyard blues album? that's some droney haunting hypnotic shit.

>>71822873

>6
That hurts. Visions is either a 9/10 or a 10/10.

>>71822942
Let me guess...
Every Grimes album is a 10/10 and she can do no wrong??

If Herbie can do wrong (which he has) so can Grimes.

>>71822954
>Every Grimes album is a 10/10
No, but Visions is

>>71822913
>both are pleb as fuck
Not Grimes.

>pleb: member of a despised social class, a commoner, a member of the plebs of ancient Rome.

What is common about her? No one is like her and her music is not mainstream, and yet it's hugely acclaimed. In a word, she's patrician.

>>71822954
>Every Grimes album is a 10/10 and she can do no wrong??
No. Just Visions is 10/10. Art Angels is 9/10, Halfaxa and Geidi Primes, each 8/10.

>>71822093
Paul McCartney's solo career is better than Grimes!

Grimes has not had any good songs in years. I like the one that goes "LaLaLaLa" When I hear it on the radio some times.

So I just listened to Grimes for the first time. Shite. Why do people like her again

>>71822967
>no one is like her
She plays ableton-tier synthpop for fuck's sake.
Also, if you are going for literal definitions, she is not from the ruling class, so she isn't patrician either.

>>71823027
>Grimes has not had any good songs in years.
Dude her latest masterpiece was released in 2015...

>>71823027
>Grimes has not had any good songs in years.
Wew. Some say ignorance is a bliss though.

>>71823070
>She plays ableton-tier synthpop for fuck's sake.
You're stupid. Ableton Live is just a tool, like a fucking guitar. It matters what you do with what you have.

Just because it's synthpop it doesn't mean there are SIMILAR ARTISTS to her. Prove me wrong.

>>71823070
>she is not from the ruling class
Her mother is not a pleb:
>Sandy Garossino is a former Crown prosecutor and prominent media commentator.
Her father too:
>her father is an executive at a biotechnology company

>>71823051
The reason why Grimes tends to get so much vitriol directed her way by her detractors is because she excels at making subversive art.

Nearly every aspect of her visual art or music that you can name is pretty easily traceable to an obvious source of inspiration (as long as you know where to look.) However the purposes to which she puts things are almost always completely alien to the originals, meaning that - for people favourably inclined towards her artistic style - consuming her art enables you to see/experience things you already know about in a new light. The experience is literally mind-expanding. It's disturbing - in a good way.

However, for people who don't happen to like her artistic style or subversive art in general, this purposeful introduction of unfamiliarity regarding already known things tends to make people upset and angry. Add to this the incredibly personable manner in which she has always interacted with fans online from day one, and it should be no mystery why she always manages to inspire such epic levels of controversy - despite not really being all that controversial herself, technically speaking.

You don't seem familiar with Grimes' fanbase outside of /mu/ (i.e. her ACTUAL fanbase)

>>71823393
If you're going to write three paragraphs, check the definition of "controversial" first. If someone inspires controversy, they are controversial. "Controversial" doesn't mean "argumentative".

>>71823393
>you already know about

Love it when entry-level people pretend they aren't.

I mean - yeah, Claire Boucher goes out of her way to imbue it with genuine facets of herself, but even the official Facebook page goes out of its way to explain that the whole thing is no more "real" than your use of proper capitalization or punctuation.

There are three groups of music listeners who like Grimes' music:
A. People who like Grimes' sound.
B. People who like the sonic stylings of one or more of her albums.
C. People who like both of the above.

And since each of Grimes' albums differs radically from the others in terms of style (and she likes to imbed her own unique musical identity into whatever the style may be for that particular album) the only way to determine whether or not you are, in fact, a fan of Grimes' music is to listen to an album of hers that is written in a similar style to music that you already like (assuming one yet exists.) Hence pic related. The only way to accurately determine whether you are a member of Groups A or C is to first make yourself a member of group B.
Her music can actually be quite hard to get into, at first. It took me years.

>>71825539
wow... a multimedia project you say? now that you say that.....
her music is still worthless and her political agenda is still retarded
