>whats the appeal of grimes?
Her music.

>I tried to listen to that album and it did not sound impressive at all.
Try a different one of her albums. Just about the only thing pretty much everyone agrees about them is that they each appeal to people in VERY different ways. One of the others might be up your alley.

>>74841465
No, it's literally marketing. Grimes has been posting her music on /mu/ since the earliest days of her career.
And no, it's not good music, that's why she has to viral market it.

>>74841512
Viral marketing would achieve almost nothing if she really had bad music. You can't fool people in the long term. Do you really believe she paid the entire music press to write positive reviews about her music and shows? How delusional could you be? At least be honest and admit that you simply don't like her music.

>>74841512

>And no, it's not good music

You are clueless. Do you have any idea why Justin Bieber got so popular?

And I never said I didn't like her music, I just said it was bad.

My farts are subjectively the best music in existence, so fuck off.

>>74841383
>posting some music on the music board is viral marketing
>posting some other music is not

>>74842533
Bieber is just one of the rare exceptions. For every Bieber there are millions of obscure artists. Bieber gained an audience by singing something relatable to that audience + a big marketing budget. Meanwhile Grimes got success mostly through word of mouth because her music is really good and people like to share that. Her indie label (4AD) isn't rolling in money.

>>74842533
>My farts are subjectively the best music in existence, so fuck off.

>>74837033
Honestly, you are not suppose to like it when you first listen to it, Grimes has said so herself. It's an intense grower though.

I didn't like her voice/get her music when I first listened to it. It helps to listen to remixes, honestly.

Bieber, and every pop artists being played on the radio today are about as good as Grimes. Both reached their fanbases through marketing.

>through word of mouth
No. Viral marketing. Also, she had Spotify ads, and her music was released at 4AD, which is hardly obscure.

>Her indie label (4AD) isn't rolling in money.
It is. It's one of the most popular indie labels.

>>74843027
>you are not suppose to like it when you first listen to it, Grimes has said so herself
She's basically telling you to force yourself to listen to her stuff until you like it. I have to admit, Grimes is good when it comes to marketing.

Her music is too sophisticated to be appreciated after just a couple of listens. Like a fine wine it takes some time to get into it. You don't even need to force yourself to like some supremely catchy songs like Oblivion, Realiti, Be a Body, Flesh Without Blood, Genesis, Devon, Rosa, Kill V. Maim, Circumambient. There's something wrong with you if you dislike such melodic pieces.

>VIRAL MARKETING
Grow up, hipster kid. It's absolutely normal to advertise your fucking music. It's absolutely normal to use a label to sell your music. Otherwise how are people supposed to find about that artist from millions other artists?

>>74843652
I'm not wrong. I guess I spotted the Grimes shill.

>>74843701
Her music is not sophisticated. It's very accessible pop music.
I don't dislike her music, I just acknowledge that her music is bad and not noteworthy. And also that her music is not inaccessible, quite the opposite, it's literally pop. I'm sorry you have fallen for her marketing techniques because her music is nothing like Wine.

>>74843776
It's not normal however to build your career upon spamming /mu/ with your music, which she did. She has admitted posting on /mu/ and advertising her music herself here. Viral. Marketing.
Now fuck off shill.

>how are people supposed to find about that artist from millions other artists?
By making good music on the first place.

She didn't do that, delusional idiot. Her fans simply talked about her music. According to your dumb logic The Beatles fans, DG fans, AnCo fans, Radiohead fans etc are also viral marketers because they discuss their music so much. Get over yourself.

>>74844971
DG did viral marketing, as did Grimes, the rest didn't.

>>74845029
By getting people to recognize your work through word of mouth, for example. But if you have to yourself advertise your own music on fucking 4chan... come on, Grimes, stop being so pathetic.
Also, I love how the discussion turned from "Grimes did not viral market" to "Viral marketing is not bad".

>>74845082
Grimes shill at work. Gotta fill them quotas, you know? And look, here is the 4th one lol >>74845140

>>74845140
>yet you struggle to get into it.
I don't. Her music is accessible and bad. It's like forcing yourself to like Katy Perry. So, because I think her music is bad it follows that her music is not accessible? Well, that's how retarded you sound.

>Just admit that you're a pleb unable to get into her music and into her weird vocals
I don't have a problem with weird music nor vocals, the point is her music nor her vocals are weird. She is a pop artist as good as Kesha or any other.

That doesn't change the fact that they did viral marketing on here, just like Grimes, though I have to admit they were at least kind of innovative (unlike Grimes).

>>74845210
Viral. Marketing.

>>74844950

>>74845284
Death Grips are genuinely popular here and aren't going to 4chan themselves to samefag the shit out of mutiple threads. They probably resonate meaningfully to people on here too, people have their actually punished male lives to put up with. This whole Grimes thing has raped everything about this place, because she deserved it so much apparently.

>>74845379
They did at first. They don't have to anymore. But the fact of the matter is that they did viral market for some time. Whether people like their music or not is irrelevant to this fact.

Except that Blink-182 could never ever make something as sophisticated and exciting as Art Angels. You just hate clear melodies and clear singing and prefer obscured vocals over obscured instrumentals like a true hipster.

>>74846190
Why should I do that? You know it very well that no matter what I will post you will react like a sperg. The point is that you pretend that her music is accessible but you can't even handle her poppier songs.

>>74846235
I won't. I'm just curious as to what your standards for challenging are, because I don't find Grimes' music challenging in the slightest.

>The point is that you pretend that her music is accessible but you can't even handle her poppier songs.
The same could be said about anyone who doesn't like Justin Bieber, so what's your point?

>>74846248
What is challenging depends on each person. Some people may like Swans but find hard to listen to Bieber. If you don't like Bieber then his music is challenging to you. Same thing to Grimes: just because her music is catchy it doesn't mean it's not challenging for autists like you who sperg out when they hear a catchy melody over experimental elements aka experimental pop.
So, if you can't stand it = it's challenging to you. Period.

>>74846498
So you admit Justin Bieber is challenging? All right, have fun being a retard then. It's almost like the word challenging has just turned completely meaningless because of your complete retardation.
