Is Grimes too patrician for /mu/? Is her insanely gorgeous music

>>74281014

i'm not bragging when i say i live and sleep with a girl that looks like grimes because the association is making me hate her.

>>74281018
>Its top 40 pop music
It's not. Stop this meme. Name some top 40 music that sounds like her music.

So how do i get into magical clouds? What kind of constant and daily anguish should i channel into it?

Can't or won't?

>>74281014
ya, you should probably find another board to discuss her on

>>74281419
Her very own place

>>74281468
Oh wait

>>74281319
Won't. Watch 2001: A Space Odyssey.

>March 17, 1988
in march, Grimes turns thirty and all her remaining relevancy and 'attraction' (LOL) goes out the window. At what point does it become sad?

The funny thing about grimes is she literally makes pop music. Like, she uses the pop formula, makes it a bit edgy and throws in a weeb factor, and you guys eat that shit up. I listen to grimes in the same way I listen to Migos or some top 40 shit.

>>74281052
Oh, just because there aren't exact copies of her, that must mean she's creating her music out of the ether? Get over yourself.

Watch out when she will become even more revelant. There isn't too much time until the next March.

Bullshit argument. You just can't post a list of synthpop/electropop albums and pretend they're similar to her music just because they have synths. For instance name synthpop/electropop songs like these ones:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aqp3Ic8iwWE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oqxz6hpGbs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzeQTMYhZds

>>74284066
In both cases, the synths dominate the music. Any synthpop album with dream pop elements sounds like a Grimes album

>>74284101
>Any synthpop album with dream pop elements sounds like a Grimes album
Ridiculous statement. That's like saying any rock album sounds like Loveless because it has guitars.

>>74284101
By the way, I want clear examples, beyond any doubt, of similar songs to those 3. Similar, not identical.

>>74284122
>any [specific genre] sounds similar to an album in the [same specific genre] is equivalent to saying albums sound the same because they have the same instrument
Please think before you hit post

>>74284134
>Scream
Repeated guitar riff is very blues rock reminds me of The Black Keys or any third-rate blues rock band. Actual song is no different from any industrial hip-hop track with the simple drum beats setting a rhythm, aside from the screaming bit (even though that's not even unique to her)
>Circumambient
Reminds me of Blue Monday by New Order, drums are very prominent with catchy synth lines. Nowhere near as good as BM though.
>Life in the Vivid Dream
This one sounds the most like a Top 40 song. Give me a mainstream electropop song from the early 2010s and it'll sound like that, can't think of a name

I'm not giving specific songs, just the genres that the songs fit in, nothing unique really. Now give me a reason why Grimes is unique, how has she innovates?

>>any [specific genre] sounds similar to an album in the [same specific genre] is equivalent to saying albums sound the same because they have the same instrument
WTF does that even mean? You have a convoluted way of thinking. Do you understand the term "analogy"?

>>74284280
You're comparing calling two songs in the same genre similar to calling two songs with the same instrument similar. That's stupid. The reason that genres admit is to separate music into groups that sounds similar
>Do you understand the term "analogy"
You seem no to, since your analogy was stupid.

Which song sounds like Scream? Post the actual name. I want to hear a WHOLE song like Scream not a few fragments from a The Black Keys song, a fragment from a hip-hop track and whatever.
>Reminds me of Blue Monday by New Order, drums are very prominent with catchy synth lines.
But it doesn't sound at all like Blue Monday. Few drum pattern similarities =/= a whole similar song.
>Nowhere near as good as BM though.
Subjective.
>This one sounds the most like a Top 40 song. Give me a mainstream electropop song from the early 2010s and it'll sound like that, can't think of a name
So, are you bullshitting me? You can't think of a name because you don't know such a song. You just think you know it but you don't actually know it.

>>74283931
this, the only reason anyone cares about her at all is cause of the weeb bullshit on her covers

>>74284337
Why does it have to be a specific song? If the fragments that form the whole song are each directly reminiscent of other popular genres, then it isn't unique.
>few drum pattern similarities
I didn't say drum pattern similarities, the arrangement of the synths and the drum lines are both similar. They're both synthpop songs, they sound similar.
>Subjective
No shit
>So, are you bullshitting me?
Fine. It sounds like Fembot by Robyn.

Similarity is subjective by the way, now prove that she's unique.

>>74281014
I swear it's always one of the same three fags who are making these dumb Grimes threads the rest doesnt give a shit about her
