Can someone please explain me why you guys love Death Grips so much? What is about them that makes them genius? I really tried to understand it, but I can't. They sound like a complete, random garbage to me. Maybe I'm too much of a normie...
It's a meme. Nobody actually likes Death Grips. It's like the Boku no Pico of /mu/.
Half of the people genuinely like them, the other half is avant teens who feel the need to differentiate themselves from their peers.

nice falceflagging
you really made the haters look stupid
> avant teens
kek there's no limit to the bullshit on this board
poppy fusion of hip-hop, punk, and industrial with a digital backdrop
>>72101446
This, also
>>72101408
There's definitely a listening curve of sorts with death grips, initially I thought they were shit, I tried again and just thought they were a bit of a meme, but as I listened to them more they grew on me. I guess the aggression and abrasiveness is appealing to me, they also have some really tight production.
>>72101444
>>72101408
implying that Death Grips' deal isn't making an accessible sound out of not-so-accessible elements (black guy shouting, weird synths)
>>72101454
avant-teen has been a thing on this board for years.
death grips isn't avant-teen though.
>>72101484
the point is it's not that accessible, especially in terms of the musical sensibilities of the general public
>Can someone please explain me why you guys love Death Grips so much?
Good for you there's an one hour, thirty minute video just for this question.

Accessible is a relative term. The average normie who listens to top 40 shit is gonna hate death grips.
>>72101408
Yup
>>72101484
Show anyone you know any song on NOTM and they'll think you're fucked in the head for listening to that.
>>72101760
okay, but what i'm saying is they make tracks structured like regular pop songs
>>72101423
Boku no pico is pretty hot
>>72101849
nigger you're not cooler for thinking death grips is accessible.
stop that cringe shit.
>>72101849
Examples? I can only think of a few conventionally structured songs off of Exmilitary, TMS and NLDW that are pretty straight forward and even catchy. They're still very experimental when it comes to their production style, vocal performances and lyrics.

>verse chorus verse chorus
>missing the point this hard
>>72101913
no you're not getting the point. you're either intentionally or unintentionally assuming this out-of-touch disposition where death grips is accessible to teens, especially those impressionable and immature enough to think the music they listen to makes them superior to others
maybe have some perspective outside of this board and youll understand what im saying.
>>72101408
Take a moment. Realize whats going on and try again. Make sure you're beginning chronologically.
I know everyone says start with TMS, but that's bullshit. Ex-Military is THE introductory album. I fucking HATED it at first and I was shitposting on /mu/ trying to justify my blind rage against this 'shit'. Then it just kinda hits me, and Im seeing whats going on and I find myself being attracted to it genuinely and then the rabbit hole begins.
>>72101941
autism? I haven't mentioned teens at all. I meant that they are making noisy stuff in accessibly structured way (conventional song structure - even stuff like Billy Not Really is arranged like a conventional pop song would).
You are making shit up because you have this stupid ass point to make, which has been made many times before and I'm aware of it, by the way
>>72101909
yes
>>72102179
nigger, you literally replied to a post citing teens and used the "implying" green text
so you're just being intellectually dishonest or you're retarded and do not understand how the whole "implying" green text works, i'm guessing it's a little of both
>>72101855
Only Pico x Chico.
>>72102219
nice reading comprehension 'nigga'. i don't think i should be explaining this but the post that mentions 'avant teens' doesn't say anything about actual teens, it's just what /mu/ says about anyone who listens to anything that's regarded as 'unlistenable' (the 'teen' part serves 2 functions - as an insult and implies that you're immature if you seriously force yourself to listen to that 'stuff'. actually that sounds like just a part of the insult function. whatever dude. i don't think there's anything more to be said. i know what point you're making and you know mine
>>72102338
fair enough, i think i took avant teen too literally this time because the guy mentioned "peers"
my original point still stands though, death grips is passable as "avant teen" shit and pretending otherwise is a tad pretentious
>>72101408
>>72101423
>>72101444
If u can't get into DG, u need to go back to reeddit
>>72102439
I'd put Death Grup at 'hipster shit' rather than avant-teen. The latter is for people who force themselves to listen to beefheart or other even more far gone stuff
>>72101408
listen w/ good headphones 2 these

embrace it btw and try to just go with the music instead of keeping up walls (idk how to phrase that) in ur mind.
>>72101760
niggas on the moon is fucking insane and what got me into dg. somehow black quarterback and billy not really are really danceable to me lol.
>>72102179
I'm not part of this whole argument, but are you sure Billy Not Really has a conventional pop song structure?
it's
A-B-C-B-C-D-E
