Iggy's radio show was surprisingly patrician. I always figured he had good taste in music, but not as good as he actually has.
Wrong

Her idols are Justin Beiber, Rihanna, and Beyonce ffs.

what are some of his favorites?

I LITERALLY DO NOT LIKE GRIMES ANYMORE
BECAUSE YOU PEOPLE SPAMMED HER OVER AND OVER

But besides Aphex Twin, Skinny Puppy, Outkast, Cocteau Twins, Madvillain, Jedi Mind Tricks, classical music, Panda Bear, Autechre, Venetian Snares, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Gorillaz. This extensive taste makes her patrician.

Yep total diverse. I listened to Beethoven once too.

wow she likes every entry level artist that p4k has said thats good w0w such patrician

go back to your general, scum.

Those artists are really good, stop saying shit about them. And see this: Do you really believe you have a better taste than her? I highly doubt it.

>believing obvious bait
lmao

i was in that thread. he was most certainly not baiting. check the archive.

I really hope some autist spergs out and assassinates her like that girl in Florida.

I have a feeling it was just a troll posing as a fan. It wouldn't the first time...

So, you can't handle an arrogant user? Did you forget on what site you are rigtht now?

damage control initiated.

see

>damage control initiated.
You?

Not a grimesfag, but this might be a fan of any group/artist, Sup Forums is full of assholes

once again, check the archive. it's a grimesfag.

You're getting defensive. Does popular equate to me saying they're bad?

I like most of those you mentioned. That doesn't make me patrician. That means I went through "basic music to get into during high school 101."

We live in an age where I could find the most obscure album that no one could find in the 90s and listen to it on YouTube. Her taste doesn't impress me, and just because she listens to shit our parents may not have heard of before doesn't make her "patrician".

On Sup Forums anyone could pretend to be anything. Whatever. It seems that it struck a nerve on you.

I'm a Grimes fan and I agree

I believe you, my point is that this could write any fan of any group/artist

Most of those artists aren't really popular. Most world population have no idea about them. They're still great musicians, regardless of your opinions about them.

>It seems that it struck a nerve on you
yes. the entire grimes fanbase on this board has. and just judging by this thread, i don't think i'm the only one.

Most of the world population can't write music either, so Grimes fits right in.

You legitimate them by paying attention to them. The joke's on you, not them. They're laughing and you're the mad one. Think about it.

i wouldn't give a shit if they would just stick to their containment thread like kpoppers

Why? Isn't that against the freedom of speech? Or freedom of speech is good only when it's favorable to you?

There are no rules about posting about certain artist.

Death Grips is spammed a lot more, and janitors never delete these threads

>freedom of speech
first of all, where do you think you are? america? you do realize that people from all over the world post here right? the internet is non-geographical. there are plenty of posters here who don't have freedom of speech, so don't try to pull that bullshit.

second, there is no reason to have more than one thread up about an artist at the same time. this thread is somewhat acceptable (at least by mod standards) because it's thinly disguised as a thread, where discussion of other musicians is encouraged, but we all know why op made the thread, and who he wanted to talk about. there are often times when there are three or more active grimes threads in the catalogue though, and that is complete bullshit.

I think this guy is pretty underrated but thats just my opinion

Wait a minute: who the fuck forces you to visit her threads?

>there are plenty of posters here who don't have freedom of speech, so don't try to pull that bullshit.
Freedom of speech is a right, not a bullshit. They may not have freedom of speech in their countries, but they certainly have here.

>second, there is no reason to have more than one thread up about an artist at the same time.
Don't try to police this board. If you don't like something go find something else, don't whine like a bitch. Anyone could post anything as long it's not against the rules of this board.

>They many not have freedom of speech in their countries, but they certainly have here.
>what are the mods
>what are the rules

>Anyone could post anything as long it's not against the rules of this board
first, i'd like to point out that you just disproved your own first argument here. second, spamming IS against the rules, and mods have been deleting grimes threads.

>Wait a minute: who the fuck forces you to visit her threads?
nice job moving the goal posts

>spamming IS against the rules
Talking about a popular artist repeatedly it's not spamming. People discuss it, argue about it, it's not an ad. That's why filtering was invented: to get rid of what you don't like.

>and mods have been deleting grimes threads.
Because some twats reported them. And some mods aren't clever either. They even deleted the yesterday's general thread despite being quite chill and on topic.

meant for

just go back to your fucking general already. you sound exactly like this faggotyou're willing to blame anyone and anything but the threads themselves. you're obviously in denial, but you're going to deny that as well.

Speaking as the originating author of the capped post (every word of which remains true in terms of reflecting my SUBJECTIVE opinion) I totally agree with you. Personally I think that the bulk of Grimes' apparent tastes in pop music especially are pretty atrocious.

With that said, if you actually go through and listen to her explanations for liking so-and-so artist (eg. Justin Bieber) her reasons are almost always less about the actual sound of their music and more about liking some aspect of the way it was produced or the inventiveness of the artist in getting it to be successful.

It's the difference between admiring someone you see as a peer in terms of craftsmanship/technique versus admiring someone's work in terms of you being just a consumer and them being a producer of a product that you enjoy.

user, people talking about things you claim not to like isn't necessarily spam. Get over it.

>her reasons are almost always less about the actual sound of their music and more about liking some aspect of the way it was produced or the inventiveness of the artist in getting it to be successful.
so in other words, she doesn't give a shit about music. also this sounds a lot like her fans describing why they like her as well.

also
suck a dick

All I'm saying is that freedom of speech works both ways. For stuff you want to say and for stuff others want to say. If others want to open multiple threads about an artist, what the fuck is your problem? It's your board? Maybe you should take a break from shitposting on Sup Forums all day long, if these threads bother you so much. Just sayin'.

>Personally I think that the bulk of Grimes' apparent tastes in pop music especially are pretty atrocious.
It's just you. I don't like Bieber, Beyonce, Lana Del Rey or Mariah Carey, but I get why she likes them. These artists do something right if so many people like them, they're not atrocious at all. They may not be for me, though. And I'm fine with that.

>These artists do something right if so many people like them
you mean they have an extensive team of musicians, producers, composers, and publicists working for them who do everything to assure that their music is marketable, and easily enjoyable for the masses? yeah, pretty impressive that so many people like them.

The end result matters: people like their music and persona. Deal with it.

>people like their music and persona
yeah. for the same reason why people dislike spiders. it's basic psychology. the music industry has figured out how to cheat the average human brain in order to get people to buy music. same with any other form of consumerism. it's all a matter of following a specific formula that psychologists, sociologists, and media theorists come up with.

have fun being a mindless consumer.
>inb4 fedora meme

So, do you imply that all those people are fools and you're the smart one? When you're going to realize that music taste is subjective and there's no good or bad music, just music that you like and music you don't like? All sounds are equal in the Universe, and people select what set of sounds they like.

You misread my comment. Sonically speaking I find almost no redeeming qualities to any of the artists mentioned. However - like Grimes - I can definitely appreciate the qualities in their work that have lead them to success. So we are actually in total agreement. :)

>so in other words, she doesn't give a shit about music.
She most certainly "gives a shit" about music (see all the sonic references she makes to other people's music in her OWN music for a guide as to which artists.)

>also this sounds a lot like her fans describing why they like her as well.
Some of them, perhaps. but even then - why would that be a bad thing?

In real life you need to conventionalize yourself to strangers. Music is an artistic format for communicating things to people, there's not marketing/swindling involved the greater audiences sensibilities are just respected enough to have warrant their attention and money.

>So, do you imply that all those people are fools and you're the smart one?
no. i just care more about music than most people. it's something that i'm passionate about, so i'm willing to dig deeper than most other people in order to find the more genuine stuff. most of the people who only listen to top 40s pop, don't actually care about music. it's not a matter that they lack the intelligence to find better music, it's just that they're apathetic on the subject. they probably know a shitload more about cars or football than i do.

>music taste is subjective
yes, but music and the context within which it was created can be objectively analyzed.

user, why else do you think it's called the music INDUSTRY?

Yes, it's a sickeningly manipulative system through which men and women in board rooms exercise their influence over the unwashed masses. However - when/why would an intelligent person have expected it to be anything else?

>extensive taste

you are an extensive faggot

>This extensive taste makes her patrician.
If that's considered extensive taste than any retard on Sup Forums must be a double patrician, and you know this isn't the case.

(You)
And suck a pen15, faggot.

Except that any retard on Sup Forums (like you) is a fan of Kanye, 21 Pilots, Death Grips, metal and other such musical drivel. How many Cocteau Twins threads did you see last week?

K poppers are infinitely less annoying than any grimesfag.

i agree, and it sounds like you agree with everything i'm saying. so i'm not sure where that leaves us.

>there's not marketing/swindling involved the greater audiences sensibilities are just respected enough to have warrant their attention and money.
but this just isn't true.

>admitting you're annoyed by other anons on this user board
The Grimes fans at least leave a mark. You will remember them forever.

I completely agree.

i like death grips :(

>The Grimes fans at least leave a mark. You will remember them forever.
and how is this a good thing?

It is. Indirectly you will not forget about Grimes too, and maybe one day you'll start listening for real to her music. Never say never.

Am not sure what user meant either.

Actually I don't mind them. I simply don't listen to their music, so they don't affect me in any way.

>and how is this a good thing?
>It is.
is this satire? or are you actually retarded?

Did you read the rest of the post, mouthbreather?

yeah. it was equally meaningless and irrelevant to the original question. why is the possibility of potentially spreading your plague good for anyone other than you and your cult?

There's a big contrast with what their goals and statements are which is fairly apparent in their music. I only like their last couple albums anyway.

Things can always be better user.

>i agree, and it sounds like you agree with everything i'm saying. so i'm not sure where that leaves us.
It's the difference between an optimistic and a pessimistic mindset. I believe that - much like the rest of earthly existence - the music industry is inherently fucked. However I don't believe in letting such an ultimate truth influence my ability to enjoy things. Yes - it means you end up having to spend lots of time sifting through the musical dross in order to find anything good (eg. Grimes or a totally unknown piece of classic new wave like youtube.com/watch?v=r-UfiIOXP8A) But, if anything, the extra labor just makes all the positive fruits that more enjoyable.

>How many Cocteau Twins threads did you see last week?

At some point, cult members will suggest that if you join or study with them, you can attain something special, such as happiness (most cults)

So, you're feared af by our "cult"? lmao

Take a pill: youtube.com/watch?v=qsbiyvpel54

Basically the so called patricians of moo don't give a fuck about one of the best bands ever, the blueprint of every shoegaze/dreampop band. And they dare to call themselves patricians... Fuck this place.

This is almost as cringe as the "freshman class of Sup Forums" post

i'm not afraid of it. i already know her music is shit, and that the majority of the worship is based on displaced feelings of attraction and admiration. i just see it as an annoyance.

what do u guys think about her new song for Suicide Squad?

So, in the light of this my post still stands out, like it or not. The moo patricians are too busy listening to shit music.

Actually listen to that song. It's really good, seriously. One listen will not kill you.

i've already listened to it. it's not bad.

but it's nowhere NEAR good enough to warrant the unconditional praise and worship that the grimesfags here give her. i can't tell you how many times i've seen deluded waifufags call her the best artist of the decade or some shit like that. those claims are completely ridiculous. it all boils down to displaced feelings of attraction and admiration, as i said in my last post.

L. M. A. O. You actually take this stuff that seriously? Granted I do make my living as a working musician, but seriously - come on!

Total agreement on the creepy idol worship part (although it's unfortunately part-and-parcel of pop-star territory.) However I genuinely find her music to be absolutely awesome.

i don't actually believe they're trying to recruit me into a cult. i just think it's funny that their reasoning tactics lined up so neatly

Good =/= Patrician

Well... people are people, after all. Which is to say that the basic human psychology of persuasion is the basic human psychology of persuasion - whether the topic be the relative merits of the latest Manilow release or those of handing over your soul (possibly related.)

true

...

You couldn't be more wrong

>classical music
Did she just throw those words into some sort of shit stew like you did or was there some sort of context?
