I see a lot of Grimes shitposting, so I thought this would be refreshing. Tell your story. Here's mine:

>meet 16yo cousin and we share all the music
>she sends a song off of Art Angels and says she just likes gaming to it
>I thought nothing of it and forgot about it
>a year passes
>become friends with coworker who loves pop punk and EDM
>me, a wide-eyed 22yo who only started drinking at 21
>him, a jaded 27yo who used to be a manager and loves coke and adderall
>we bond over depression, anime, vidya, music, painting, food, etc. over the course of several months
>he takes me to my first EDM show
>gives me a domino of ecstasy
>shit_was_lit.png
>I develop a love for bass music
>I also become interested in computer science and therefore, electronic music production
>come across Art Angels, which I recognize because of all the goddamn shills
>aware of Grimes waifufags
>start to enjoy song after song, over the course of several months, just barely listening
>become infatuated by Claire's personality in interviews
>hear that she used adderall and locked herself in her room to write Visions
>download entire discography (she says she downloads music too so it's okay lol)

And now here I am, a fellow degenerate.

What's your story?
>>
p.s. I've masturbated to her music before, while looking at her pictures.

This is the actual OP. If there's no rebuttal from another anon who claims to be OP, then you know it's the real OP. ;)

I just kinda messed around on youtube one day back in 2011, her song Vanessa was in my recommendations. Listened and was instantly addicted to Grimes.

Fuck of shills


no one believes a damn thing about this fake ass little boy you're calling 'Grimes'

>>
>>72816389
>>72816454
Ah, same. It really made me appreciate the work she puts into it, and how much courage she has for willing to put that stuff out, despite how little she knew to begin with. Of course, she must be really experienced now that she's been at the grindstone for a long time.

I really want to know why people come to Grimes threads to shitpost when they could just put "Grimes" into the filter and not see threads like these in the first place.

I can't speak for people who go into Grimes threads that get through those filters though.

The only reason I can imagine is that the person is either extremely bored or drunk.

Do I? I mean, I keep seeing tinfoil hat posts about her music, but I've yet to see any evidence. Sounds like a low quality meme to me, but I gotta admit, your b8 has me hooked.
>>
>>72816681
I guess if they don't know how to use the filters, then yes.
>>
>>72816828
you may be surprised to hear that, but some idiots actually refuse to add her name to the filters even if they hate her. why? because they want to shitpost and troll her fans. these are the cunts whining about her threads even if those threads include her name in the op.
>>
>>72817029
Hmm. I'm kinda surprised. I figured most of them were drunk or used it as an outlet for depression.

I just can't see how someone could be consistent about it. There must be another reason.

Let's say she's the most discussed female artist on /mu for at least 5 years. The only female artist able to get 300+ threads almost daily.

I'm actually baffled to hear that. So, songs like Oblivion, Realiti, Genesis, Weregild, Rosa, etc did nothing to you. That's like liking the appetizer and disliking the main course, the desert and the drinks. Such a shame.

Grimes is not artist of the decade, there are many others more deserving, if you think otherwise them I respect your opinion but disagree, hoping that you will see what I believe to be an error of your ways
>>
I think shes inferior to the genre of the same name
>>
Hahaha I kinda hate him desu. I'd constantly give him free rides when he didn't have a car, and loan him a few bucks for cigs and booze. My car broke down a few months ago and he got his own car, but we're both still poor as fuck and now he's in debt. He's an alright guy, but desu I really can't stand the way he talks about things he doesn't like. He sounds like an edgelord a lot of the time. At the same time, he got me into drugs and drinking, so I have a few good memories. Don't ask me why I'm telling you this. I'm just really bored.

>>72819246
>>
>>72819246
Clearly won't last, and don't be infatuated with him because he's "such a rebel in your biting strict life" or "I'm doing big bad things to make up for a boring childhood"
It's not going to end up well, I speak as the guy who strung girls around after they did drugs with me, and found me "really awesome" and "chill af and not like other guys" when really I just needed a companion and a cum.

>>
>>72819323
For sure. I've been distancing myself from him. It's been a month since we stopped drinking together. We used to drink during our shifts too. Luckily, he hasn't found any need to bother me for anything, and I'm planning to stay sober for the next month so I can get my shit together and move out of this state.
Thanks for the advice though. I really newd to hear more shit like that, since I'm so prone to avoiding people who I know would scold me.

>>72819346
Lol I never have. Why do you play these games, anon? People don't actually get offended here. If you wanna offend people, go back to tumblr or reddit.
>>
>>72819142
>there are many others more deserving,
Who? Be a man - name some names.
>>
>>72819502
Another life tip, don't rush to move out of state so quickly. I personally never have, and who knows you might make it, but ALL the people I know who weren't in school while they were out of state, came right back home eventually.
You're clearly in a "finding out" stage of your life, and it's easier to find out if you are okay doing drugs by yourself or if you like giving blowjobs. Usually this is all easier when you're in a place with people you're familiar with, so when things don't work out, you're not struggling with your new life on top of everything.

Again, I'm an Anon, so do whatever the fuck you want with what I said. To 50% of people who lurk this thread, I just said dumb teen stuff.

Yup. But then so is her music, and her personality and this whole damn thing really. Which is why it slowly grows on you and before you know it your brain is on fire and wanting more grimes shit because it's so bizarre.

Normal stuff gets boring really quickly. Weird shit is always weird and interesting and confusing so you never really get a chance to get bored of it.

>>72819658
I appreciate the advice, but I actually grew up in MN and moved to CT 2 years ago because of my parents splitting. I'm planning on moving to either MA or NY, which isn't too far. Ideally, I'd love to move back to MN, or even CA, but I'm trying to get certified in a trade before making a move that big.

It's just that CT is such a dead place. I mean, fucking Stanthony Blandtano's from here. I don't wanna end up like him lmao. Then again, Sam Hyde's from MA and he's all fucked up too haha.

No but forreal. I don't have a lot going for me here. I'm also used to having very few friends, so I've always been able to get out on my own. It's just a matter of time and money. I'd probably kill myself before sucking dick for cash though.

So does anyone have the inside scoop on any new stuff of hers? Surely somethings gotta leak out at some point or she'll throw it out there for us. I don't know. I sometimes wish she wasn't so sensitive of her old work and would just release it (like that stuff on that old hard drive or whatever it was). And whatever she produced when she was back in Vancouver.

Anyone know why she never released that?

I really like Grimes, but the more I watch of her, the more convinced I become that she is some sort of an illusion. She is just to perfect for the musical/cultural slot she is filling. She seems like she was genetically designed at the Advanced Club Kid Research Facility.

Think about it: She's "white," but she has the perfect skin, height and elegant limbs of an Asian woman. Alternatively, her features (especially nose and eyes) would be completely natural looking on a woman with dark brown skin. Don't you think she'd make a GORGEOUS black woman? I do.

She is basically the simultaneous ideal of Asian, black and white people- but she happens to have very white skin, which makes her more widely advertisable. Her face might be a little narrow and pointy to make a classically beautiful Indian woman, or other near-eastern people, but I'll bet they would still relate to her if her skin were changed into some familiar color range. Personally, I like looking at white blonds, but I'm always suspicious of them. They're constantly up to some scheme or another. And almost never does it involve making me happier.

So you missed me, ACKRF. Nice try, but until you come up with an Indian girl who has the curves of a black girl, the complexion of an Asian girl, the voice of an Irish girl and the "F it - let's just screw things up" attitude of an American girl, I won't be buying your product. So basically, I'm saying that Grimes is unbelievable. Not unbelievable as in "awesome," though I like her work, but unbelievable in the sense that I have a hard time believing that she was born of woman, and not out of some test tube in Japan. Or she could just exist as a digital avatar, not flesh and blood. Just from Canada? I've been to Canada. That's a really weak cover story.

>>
>>72824360
To some extent I agree with you.

But if you go back and watch her evolution, it seems there was some ironing out of her wrinkles. By wrinkles I mean the unappealing stuff that she kinda glammed up all of a sudden.

I wouldn't go as far as to say she was a test tube baby lol. I think she's just got a really good combination of genes (French/Russian).

Think about it, French girls are hot, Russian girls are hot too. Mix them together and you'll get something pretty damn hot. But then, she doesn't look traditionally "hot" in a lot of her older stuff. She's got this sweet, innocent look to her in a lot of cases and big eyes and a petite figure.

Probably confuses us somewhat. She seems less threatening.

Why do they have to be 100% finished? I don't get it. There is a lot of stuff that i've got from the "unreleased" stuff and some of it is super experimental and/or totally unfinished. What's the difference? I still enjoy a lot of it and wish she'd have included it on an album.

Don't they? Did Leonardo Davinci only release his Mona Lisas? Of course not. There were sketches and such.

Artists have a lot of throw away material and sometimes it's cool to see what hits the cutting room floor, so to speak. This is why I love behind the scenes DVD's and making of documentaries.

In that same vein, I argue she should allow us to sample some of her unfinished stuff. Even if she thinks it's piss water.

IT IS SELFCONSISTENT TO THE DEGREE AT WHICH THE SONGS VIRTUALLY BLEND INTO ONE ANOTHER, BOTH, THEMATICALLY, AND SONICALLY, AND THE SENTIMENTS THAT THE SONGS AROUSE ARE OF NOSTALGIA, MELANCHOLY, AND TRAGEDY.

"HALFAXA" IS SLIGHTLY ANOMALOUS RELATIVE TO HER OTHER "ALBUMS" IN THAT THE FORMER IS CHARACTERISTICALLY NOBLER IN SPIRIT THAN THE LATTER; MORE ANOMALOUS YET CONSIDERING THAT "GRIMES" HERSELF IS JEWISH —SHE PROBABLY HAS SOME ARYANID HERITAGE SINCE SHE WAS ABLE TO CREATE SACRED "HALFAXA".

it fucking hurts that i'm forever in love with a person which i'll never meet irl
>>
>>72824722
You're right. It is false. You can like her, like I like her, like we all like her. Nothing wrong in that. I don't think there's harm in it. It's more a respect thing. But the moment you cross over into thinking you "Love" her, is when the pain comes.

Like it or not none of us on /mu will ever likely meet her. We will never know her. And she will likely become someone we forget later on when she moves on to other things, like producing or whatever.

Also, what she wrote that I don't know if I can believe that. Her mum never showed her? There was some other interview where she said she didn't know how to use a photo copier? REALLY?! I find that hard to believe.
>>
>>72824764
she wouldn't like us anyway
>>
>>72824764
Right but it's of your own choosing. And ask yourself, what is love with her if there is no reciprocation? Just an empty void, a coldness, and an absence.

We get the illusion she is there because we can tune in from time to time through social or on /mu. But she's not here. And I don't think she ever will be. So that's why I try to maintain a distance with this whole thing. Before I fall into the abyss.

Understand that I think it would be EASY to fall for this girl. But that's just from the nice shots and tidbits she shows us. We've never seen her off takes, or her pissed off or being an asshole. We just get the polished stuff. It's kind of an illusion..

Crap reason to live, Anon. Find things for yourself to live by. Not people. Gotta live life for yourself.

If someone is the source of your happiness, then they can take it away from you the moment they bugger off into the blue yonder without you. Not a good life plan.
>>
>>72824773
she also didn't know that it's necessary to shave if you are a girl until she faced criticism
ya, looks like her parents didn't teach her a lot of basic things considering she was raised with brothers
>>
>>72824868
From what I heard, she lashed back at her critics about shaving her armpits because she said she was working all the time and was a "working woman" or something of the sort. I mean there are a lot of working women out there who still find time to shave. It doesn't bother me, but I thought her retort was cute. Really, she doesn't need a reason.

What you said there about her upbringing makes me wonder about her actually. Whether she had a good or bad upbringing. I saw a presentation her mother did in Vancouver and she refers to herself as "claires bitch mother" and I figured something must have happened. She's also referred to her mother as a "tough lady" (narduar interview).

The nervous ticks, speech impediment and lax cleaning regimen make me wonder if she was neglected. Her mother was a prosecutor. I don't know what her dad did for a living but maybe they just weren't around much when they were kids. I probably shouldn't be talking about this though, I feel it's more of a private matter and none of my damn business.

Just curious about her is all and how her upbringing may have influenced who she is today.

>>72824929
It IS relevant. I think seeing people in this glamorous, flawless way makes us believe they are someone they are not. Which is probably why some people in this thread (you know who you are) see her as "perfect" and such. Because they never see her bad side.

We all have our flaws, yes. But you never see that with the modern world and facebook and people posting these illusions of a perfect life. So we all, as a result, start to feel shitty by comparison.

I feel like it's symptomatic of the current time that so many are seeking praise and validation but are empty inside. We've lost touch with what makes life important and valuable. And it sure as shit isn't facebooking and portraying ourselves as infallible.

It's important to watch our idols falter sometimes. To fall a little, to seem human. Otherwise it all seems like a cardboard cutout. Like some sort of corporate construct. That's all i'm saying.

The closest i've seen to an outburst from her was in one of James's travel journals. She gives him shit for wasting the battery on the camera or some shit.

Not anymore since she took my heart.
The main problem here is that Claire doesn't know how much I love her. I'm literally ready to serve her once she asks or once she needs an extra kidney - I'll be the first one to offer mine.
>>
>>72824990
Wow dude, you're in deeper than I thought.

>I'm literally ready to serve her

That's some doormat thinking right there. I'd get rid of this notion going forward, about any woman you come to know. Otherwise, unfortunately, you're going to get walked on like a doormat. That's doormat thinking. NEVER do this to yourself. Have some fucking respect for yourself. Jesus christ.

I hate hearing people talk this way because I can see that at some point they are going to get fucking destroyed by a woman. Some people end up killing themselves over this sort of shit once they are rejected or whatever. They become possessive and needy. Don't do this to yourself Anon, it's not healthy.

Learn to temper your feelings for her by realizing that she's never met you, she didn't "take" your heart. It would be different if she seduced you in person. But so far as I know, again, she's with that James guy.

You need to grow a pair Anon. I don't mean this in a disrespectful way. But learn to man up a bit. Otherwise you're going to end up getting fucked in life. It happened to me, it will happen to you and everyone else who thinks like that.

This never occurred to me, but then again I know first hand how vain and tedious these presets are. I hate traveling and sort of have to do it for work reasons multiple time a year, sometimes I land in some sort of renown party city (shitholes in my point of view).

>It's important to watch our idols falter sometimes. To fall a little, to seem human.

grimes is very much like human with torrent of emotions (even negative ones). But that is pre Art Angels and PR lessons.

How do you know this? She could have fucked over 10 guys by now for all we know. She doesn't exactly reveal her private life, nor should she. But you don't know that she's genuinely kind and it's not all an act to sell her CD's or make people care about her.

Truth is, we'd only really ever know that if we knew her personally. And dont' take what i'm saying the wrong way, because I don't think this of her I just think you've elevated her higher than she should be.

>>
>>72826037
No. I'm saying we DON'T know. So it's impossible to really get a true sense of who she is unless you KNOW her personally. Ie, if you spent time with her you'd know who she is. Otherwise there is no way to distinguish who she presents herself as (grimes persona) to who she may actually be (Claire Bucher).

The distinction is not clear. And she's made mention of her persona creation several times. So who knows who she's presenting.
>>
>>72826057
She's probably just screwing around. Half of the stuff she posts on social is indecipherable nonsense that either only she and her friends or very likely nobody understands. Ie. she's bored and posts some random shit.

How do you figure it's a cop-out answer? She very clearly has said, on many occasions, that she has created grimes as a way to perform on stage and to project a "brand" of herself that she would otherwise have not been able to (so she says) as herself.

So my point, anon, was that we are never able to distinguish who she is because we never really know who she's showing to the world. Grimes or Claire. Or are they really just one in the same? Have they evolved together over time to be her now that she's come out of her shell and pretty much conquered her stage fright? I don't know.

That said, she has a very addictive personality. She's definitely someone I'd want to hang around with. But again, that's not going to happen so I try not to occupy my brain space with the possibility so as to avoid the inevitable disappointment of her absence.

You know, i've heard about the vulva rings, but never saw any.

But she did make some sense when she followed with how weird out culture is with sex related things and body parts.

I'd like to see that clip though. Just for shits n' giggles.

Perfectionism. It's pretty well documented in her interviews. Also, apparently a lot of what she was working on was inspired by really depressing personal shit (e.g. the song David), and she decided she didn't want to be stuck touring those songs/being constantly reminded about that stuff for the next x number of years. I say this based on having read interviews.

She's lovely because she cares, about saving the planet, about people, animals, her friends, about the future and usually seems like a kind and generous person. She's a strong, passionate, intelligent, independant, crazy woman with a grin that can make your heart melt, that makes incredible music in solitude with a voice so sweet it can make people cry. She's beautiful and vibrant and lazy with a temper, anxious wreck. She seems to encompass so much, capable of deep thoughts and emotions, always interesting with the cutest little outbursts of information and seems still capable of banter, Idk i think she's cool, she's lovely.
