I've seen alot of hate against Grimes on this board recently, like People saying she's "Shit" "Ugly" and "Untallented". You're all fucking retards and you have a shit tier music taste when it comes to pop. Also what is up with these faggots calling Grimes Ugly and Retarded? Grimes is one of the most attractive women out there, And i bet you fat neckbeard Virgins couldn't say that to Grimes' face, and even if you did i'd be there to protect her. You know what's funny? I can snap and kill every mother fucker on this board if we met IRL. Seriously, think about it. I'd have your windpipe crushed and your eyes gouged out before you would even know what is happening. You guys talk big shit, But if i'm ever around you in IRL and i hear you talk shit about Grimes then those will be your last words. Watch Yourselfes
Joshua Bell
oh shut the fuck up.
grimes is as beautiful as she is talented. people who say she is ugly is blind, she is very clearly EXTREMELY attractive and that's part of the grimes package.
you get this amazing art that is derived from distilled pain, clever references and an abstract headspace mixed together into the ULTIMATE form of art music, blended into a delicious ear candy that can soothe you. then you have her, albeit cliche, well done visual art that 100% absolutely matches the grimes aesthetic and is uniquely hers, despite people trying to rip off her style all the time.
and behind it all you have this absolutely gorgeous woman. this person who is well read, has good morals and abundant talent and passion. all tied into this package of non-traditional beauty, i could confuse claire for aphrodite.
quite honestly, if you aren't a fan of grimes, you just aren't living in REALiTi

Justin Morris
"All of my friends are musicians and slowly I became one because it seemed like the thing to do at the time," she explains. "This gave me the access to someone showing me how to record something. And all of the gear I used was just what my friends had. I'd say, 'How do I do this?' and then someone would show me. Like Raph [Standell-Preston] from Braids, I used the same pedal and keyboard as her. I really have to credit a lot of other people for how I learned to make music."
Boucher found that one of the only things she could offer friends in return for their assistance was grub. "With [labelmate] Flow Child, I traded him some food to come over to my house and show me how to use his sampler," she says. "I think I gave him a bunch of canned chickpeas. It wasn't a bad deal."
Like many amateur musicians, Grimes cut her teeth recording with Apple's GarageBand software. (She admits that she used it to record Visions, which is "really embarrassing," but has since moved on.) It was Animal Collective that inspired her to begin making loop-based music, which she was able to master in no time.
"I had this light bulb moment where I was listening to Panda Bear," she explains. "I realized what a loop was and how simple making music was if you based it off loops and just started doing that right away."

nice sequential dubs trips combo
Ryder Smith
seriously, she's so freakin cool. Look how she's filming this music video and doesn't wave the guy in front like she should because it's polite, she waves him in front of the camera as if to invite him to be in the music video.
I'm not even being ironic when I say she's probably the cutest girl I've ever seen ;-;

David Diaz
Assuming your post is serious (no invented things), this is interesting. Maybe it's a sign that her music has been waiting for you. Did you listen to Halfaxa, Darkbloom, Visions and Art Angels yet?
Dylan Wilson
Just listened through Halfaxa, now I'm halfway through Visions and it's already my favourite (So far). I think it was meant to be.
Nathan Myers
Halfaxa is her weirdest album. It took me quite a long time to get into it. Even Geidi Primes is more accessible.
Visions is really wonderful. It just grows on you with each listen. In a way it's like The Cure's Disintegration: atmospheric songs mixed with catchy songs, all surrounded by a dark dreamy vibe.
3 of my favorites from Visions:

Art Angels is full of bangers. It's ridiculously catchy. If you think that mainstream pop is catchy, wait until you hear this album.
Jacob Reed
And btw, pay attention to the end of Symphonia IX. Those massive beats with a lot of reverb sound like they're from a goth album or something.
Justin Miller

Shut the fuck up.
Grimes is inclusive. A community of love and acceptance. If you can't be nice you can leave, foooool. and suck a pen15 on your way out.
Joseph Ramirez
imagine a typical popfag trying to get into art angels

Logan Sanchez
Grimes is actually VERY obscure. She's right up my alley in terms of musical interest, and I only found out about her about for months ago.
Gavin Mitchell
*about 4 months ago.
Xavier Parker
Actually I think that really anybody can listen to her and apreciate it, and I think that's the beg deal about her; she is able of creating something that anyone, from the Doom/sludge guy to the plebpop teen can enjoy.
Nicholas King
>but you only started listening to grimes?
I listen to Grimes since 2012.
Why did you say this shit

Are you fucking retarded? Go see a doctor, autist.
Levi Thompson
So I think the autist thought you were also the guy you were replying to with your first post or some stupid shit or he's just having an episode
Daniel Allen
>Grimes is actually VERY obscure.
Sup Forums users are overstating her popularity. Just because Grimes is popular on Sup Forums, it doesn't mean the whole world know her. As a matter of fact, she never had a hit. Even her catchiest song REALiTi barely charted.
Kayden Taylor
For a mainstream audience, yeah. She doesn't quite catch on.
There's already influences being affected on more commercial/known artists which is pretty good sign, pop idols that are desperate to write that hit song.
Benjamin Turner
Lol... Props on remembering to insert the missing "(you)" after "your" linked post...
Jayden Edwards

I did a small mistake and copied the previous post that I deleted. This shitty board still has no edit function. Anyway that is a proof that it was my post. Moving on.
Elijah Butler

Isaac Wood
...whatever you say, user.
Myself, speaking as a big fan of 80s goth and new wave, I wouldn't describe Halfaxa as being particularly difficult to get into. For me the hardest one to get into so far has been Art Angels. But again, it's more about what your ear is accustomed to (since she fits such disparate influences into her music.) That's why I always recommend that people start listening to her by selecting the album that most closely resembles their previously held musical tastes and branching out from there.

Does anyone like SCREAM aside from me? the mix could be better tbqh
Austin Cruz
I LOVE scream - although I'm partial to the live Pushkin version myself.
Evan Diaz
>Myself, speaking as a big fan of 80s goth and new wave, I wouldn't describe Halfaxa as being particularly difficult to get into. For me the hardest one to get into so far has been Art Angels.
I'm also a big fan of 80s goth and new wave (plus synthpop). Halfaxa isn't really accessible, especially her weird voice. On the other hand, Art Angels is really catchy and likeable on the first listen. In my opinion, of course.
> I wouldn't describe Halfaxa as being particularly difficult to get into.
If that worked for you, fine. But don't imply that everyone has the same brain.
Owen Bennett
I like more the instrumental version tbch. The screams, not so much.
Evan Bennett
The screams are my favorite part. It's not often you hear someone attempt to craft a musically coherent piece of music based on something as a-musical as full on screams - let alone succeed.
Caleb Barnes
she was on the tonight show like 3 years ago, which is when I and several million others first heard her. basically everyone in my age group, 25-35, knows who she is.
Aiden Kelly
Yeah... in the past 4 months since I discovered her, I've run into a grand total of about 5-6 people actually familiar with her, only one of whom was in that demographic.

FUCK YES I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS PASTA FOR SO FUCKING LONG YOU HAVE NO IDEA
Nathaniel Jones
I like all grimes equally. But my favorite Grimes is also the one everybody says is "ugly"
I missed this pasta
Angel Thomas
Not unrelated at all - between the constantly detuning vocal drone - that comes in about half-way through the song and again during the very end - and that music video, Vanessa is very much in wonderfully creepy Uncanny Valley territory.
Noah Cox
ah yes this pasta mmhm everyday i go into the pasta store and say "i would like some grime grime!" and the manager would always comeback and say "we are all out of grime grime pasta! come back tomorrow" and i would everyday i would say "i would like some grime grime!" and i never would get any grime grime ah yes thank you for this grime grime pasta
Oliver Cox
I want to kill myself now, thank you user
Ian Ward
what was the new song? i never even heard it?
Jack Parker
Bullshit detected.
Grimes almost never utilizes lipstick in public because it makes her look like an underage hooker:
>I have a kohl eyeliner that I use to make a smoky, goth-y eye, and I’m really into this one Kat Von D pen that’s super-easy to draw on, but I can’t wear lipstick; I look simultaneously like a baby and a lady of the night. I use lipstick on my eyes, though, like a red or a black—or even a lip gloss.

Music is dead and grimes has killed it. We are experiencing the best anti-musician of the decade.

Just imagine what you could make her do if you were both condemned to live in a failed communist state and you had the monopoly on hair dye...
Cameron Butler
They mean to say that her music is ugly because it is not sexy.
Nicholas Allen
I would.... MAKE HER SING FOR ME!! Muahahaha!
She would be like
>NO I'M TOO SELF CONSCIOUS, I SUCK
and i would be like
>IF YOU WANT YOUR ECLECTIC PURPLES AND PINKS YOU WILL SING FOR ME
and she would be like
>NOOOOOOO
and I would be like
>pic related
and then she would begrudgingly sing for me, to which i would give her the 20 different colors of dye with a devilish shit eating grin on my face assuring her that I thought the performance was rather good and she would stare at the floor and roll her eyes in contempt, her cheeks flush with embarrassment and her mind swimming with refusal to believe me.
