As someone just beginning to hate themselves can anyone explain the /mu community and Grimes?Like is the overwhelming amount of content about her for memes sake or post ironic or do that many people just love/hate Grimes or is it all related to the internets obsession/resentment with female artists a la Taylor Swift. I’m honestly curious

Grimes is very relatable because she's great at music, looks, personality and being memeable. What is not to like about her? Her music is gorgeous, innovative, fresh and acclaimed. She's got a beautiful 4+ octaves unique soprano voice, she plays multiple instruments, she's a producer/songwriter/singer/video editor & director, dancer, model, visual artist, live performer. She likes nerdy stuff like Dune, LOTR, Star Wars, Game of Thrones, anime and games. She likes Russian and Japanese culture and even speaks a bit of Russian. She studed neuroscience, philosophy, and Russian literature. She learned making music mostly by herself. She created sound packs for Roli. As you can see, she's very interesting, irreplaceable and intriguing. Taylor Swift is not even 1/10 as great as her.

To answer your question: /mu/ is simply misogynist and full of envy. This board always treat female artists like dirt, even if those artists are truly great. It's sickening how much some assholes hate her. Just don't take them seriously.

>internets obsession/resentment with female artists
this is true everywhere. Successful females draw the resentment of misogynists, who are the most vocal dissenters. The obsession comes from people who are genuinely fans of the music, or sometimes it's a looks-based thing where they creepily idolize them.

Grimes is especially a target because she's very small and young looking, yet is a vocal feminist and makes feminist music. This naturally means lots of resentment just for being a girl who doesn't hate herself and is confident enough to be her own producer, director, art designer, etc. The misogynists can't believe a woman can make good music, so they assume anyone who does is lying or something. Truth is she just makes great music with a sound that hasn't really been done before. This is why she's so controversial and thus memeable

That explains why some delusional users claimed that she has ghost producers. Like they can't believe a woman is able to make such good and layered music. The joke's on them.

Grimes is pretty mediocre and forgettable, but not superhorrible. So I think Grimes was the perfect bait for some people, because if people shitposted Corey Feldman this much it would have been too obvious. So Grimes is bad enough to be bait, but not too bad for it to be too obvious.

You're wrong about this. See pic related.

Explain this significant universal acclaim if you pretend she's mediocre:

I'm sure she appeals to certain group of people. That's what happens when you make safe, bland indie pop.

She is just a generic synthpop being shilled and waifu'd by perma virgins.

A certain group of people? We're talking about the top critics here. The same kind of people who praised Kate Bush, Peter Gabriel, David Bowie, Bjork to name a few. Also, you're completely wrong about her music being safe, bland indie pop. Did you even listen to it? Kill V. Maim mops the floor with you and Scream hits you in the face. Just how many popstars did a song like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aqp3Ic8iwWE ? Or like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_hFrJ-FM2o ? Or like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTvanzhR6ok ?

Grimes has an unspecified number of bizarrely retarded obsessives who act as if she's god's gift to humanity, perfect in every way. They spam her incessantly here.

The haters are mostly just reacting to her horrible fans and her over exposure here.

Note that no other female artists attract the same ire. They don't have the same shitty fanbase.

Here's your answer:
>Due to the culture of rampant contrarianism on this board, the only time you are going to see a huge majority here saying that they "like" something is when the thing in question isn't good enough to be worth hating. Likewise, the only time you are going to see a huge majority here saying that they "hate" something is when the thing in question IS good enough to be worth hating (because people throw rocks at things that shine because things that shine are easy to see.)

>For an artist, being universally loved on /mu is a bad sign. Likewise being universally hated on /mu is a bad sign. However being simultaneously strongly loved AND strongly hated by /mu is a wonderful sign, since the size of that dichotomy itself is the closest thing this place has to offer to a true judgment of artistic value.

>The proof that Grimes IS a great artist (insofar as /mu hive-mind opinion is concerned) lies in the fact that she has the POWER TO DIVIDE this place. Only the greatest artists can do that.

Nope. Commercial success? Yes. High critical praise for her MUSIC? Hardly.
And I'm saying that as someone with a soft spot / pre-Gaga persona personal connection to her. She's a very talented musical performer. But it's no small secret in the Manhattan arts community that the whole Lady Gaga shtick wasn't the best use of her talents.
