>Geidi Primes: References the the main fictional planet in the sci Fi novel Dune.
>Halfaxa: The informal name of a neighborhood somewhere in Montreal, as I understand it.
>Darkbloom: A reference to author Vladimir Nobokov's author avatar Vivian Darkbloom from his infamous novel Lolita.
>Visions: A reference to polymath Saint Hildegard of Bingen, whose extensive writings about the supernatural visions that she experienced throughout her life are still extensively studied today.
>Art Angels: A reference to the quasi-supernatural forces that seem to have touched Claire's own life in her musical pursuits.
Isaac Morgan
Cool post. By the way, she's a fan of Hildegard of Bingen.

Why is Darkbloom the worst?
Ethan Sanders
Because I had to pick a worst album so I picked the shortest one (an EP). Track #1 & #5 are quite unremarkable, but #2-#4 are amazing. Grimes has so much great music...
Don't I know it. The final track on Visions (Out to/Know the Way) is also a reference to her - specifically to one of the books she wrote and illustrated (called Scivias, shortened Latin for a phrase meaning roughly "Know the Ways of the Lord") describing some of those same visions. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scivias
Luke Williams
Yall are dumb for liking her, she's a pretentious hack, her music sucks and she's not even hot.
Aiden Torres
Thanks for the bump.
Matthew Carter
perfect personality
Charles Perez
Cool, I didn't know that.
Landon Flores
>unironically liking grimes
Jason Howard
Come on, Grimes is extremely likeable.
Camden Cooper

Adrian Nguyen
SCREAM
Julian Edwards
SWEETER THAN A SUGAR CANE
Julian Moore
Butterfly!
>Why you looking for a harmony? >There is harmony in everything
Even in trolls.
Joshua Thomas
>grimes presses a button >it opens a portal to another dimension
Evan Taylor
is everyone who dislikes art angels depressed? because I used to hate listening to it when I was
Easton Cooper
idk, but i love it and im depressed
Juan Sanders
holy shit thats one ugly goblin
Grayson Howard
I understand why someone depressed would dislike AA. This album is pure joy.
Carson Gomez
And you're the beautiful goblin???
Parker Robinson
no im an ugly human just like the rest of you grimesfags
Kayden James
But you have an uglier soul.
Ryan Ross
>grimesfags dont have ugly souls grimesfags actually believe this
Camden Morales
Then what?
Thomas Rogers
bumping this thread because it's better than the last one
Carter Hill
Why do this. Ignore what makes her likeable, what makes her unlikeable?
Christopher Lewis
>thread is stagnant for almost an hour because no one is talking shit about her lmao, so much for "actual music discussion" am i rite
Jayden Young
the queen of Sup Forums
anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional
Brody Turner
>queen
princess
Luis Allen
A lot of me is more or less dead, and cycles between on and off in a way I can't explain concisely. I like Art Angels just fine. I also can;t recall any sense of depression I've experience that would have made -dislike- it.
>This album is pure joy. I wouldn't say that. It's enjoyable and feels good, but it's not joyful. It's aggressive and has a sense of presence.
Cameron Foster
How is one woman so lovely?
Jordan Garcia
Fucking hell, I can't even put together a sentence without omitting words and tense suffixes everywhere.
Just kill me.
Jackson White
It's aggressive joy if you will. It's like escaping big troubles and shouting "fuck everything!".
Ethan Moore
Agree, mostly.
Joseph Reyes
maybe it's because I had listened to it before being depressed and enjoyed it a lot, and now it didn't fit my mood or whatever
Hunter Rivera
world princess!
Henry Gray
I dislike the interview where that's from a lot
Leo Ramirez
Why?
Owen James
she is so F U C K I N G C U T E K I L L M E
Anthony Sullivan
I feel like going on a dissociative / hallucinogenic journey while listening to Darkbloom. I feel myself shifting into a strange state, and moving along a strange but familiar gradient.
Not sure whether to resist or if it's needed.
Adrian Diaz
That EP is very psychedelic. Especially Urban Twilight.
Aiden Lewis
It's to avoid a lawsuit
Turn your brains on
Mason Gonzalez
Lawsuit for using the name of a fictive planet? I don't think so. Otherwise she would change also the title of her song Caladan (another fictional planet from the Dune universe).
Jackson Jenkins
...
Jeremiah Thompson
This is pretty relateable. All my creative endeavors stem from underlying problems or misery. That's not their totality, but it is the core.
Nolan Clark
>It's to avoid a lawsuit Yeah - probably that, and also just because Geidi Primes rhymes with Grimes:
>Her previous album was explicitly named for Dune’s post-industrial waste planet, Giedi Prime, from Frank Herbert’s iconic novel Dune (and an added “s” had the album title rhyme with Grimes). cmj.com/in-an-altered-zone/
Pretty sure I've seen another old interview out there somewhere in which she says as much explicitly (notice that the above excerpt isn't a direct quote...)
Brandon Phillips
grimes is CUTE!!! :3
Alexander Campbell
Sure.
Carter Moore
c u t e
Bentley Kelly
what does she mean to you, user?
is she an artist that means a lot? an inspiration that drives you? a beacon that tells you just what is possible?
or is she an object of desire? something to be lusted after, but like a lillypad floating in a pond just out of reach that when you try to reach for it you only push it away?
Noah Gray
inspiration. she is my idol, i would never treat her as an object.
Charles Peterson
Inspiration. If she could be a successful musician starting from zero, I don't have any excuses for not trying to make my life better.
Ayden Thompson
nobody really talks about it, but she really does like the simpsons a lot, doesn't she?
I wonder if that's a little bit of culture she got in Vancouver or if it was part of the culture flood in Montreal?
Luis Garcia
polar opposite, and reminder that i could have lived my life differently and could have been more happier...
William Roberts
I don't know anymore I don't know why I keep visiting these threads
Andrew Edwards
>i could have lived my life differently and could have been more happier... grimesfags actually believe this
Josiah Diaz
the simpsons are popular all over westernized society, specially at the time she grew up
Justin Edwards
>reminder that i could have lived my life differently and could have been more happier...
quit your job and follow grimes on tour, obviously
that seems like the mature, adult thing to do.
Owen Bell
>I don't have any excuses for not trying to make my life better. grimesfags actually believe this
your excuse could be "i sit at home and fantasize about grimes all day, thats why my life is shit".
Lucas Brown
This. I recently decided 3/4 in undergrad that I hate politics and don't want to be involved in it anymore and focus on my writing and music. Claire admitting she got into music at 23 and seeing how big she's gotten gives me hope for the future.
Grayson Baker
>seeing how big she's gotten gives me hope for the future. grimesfags actually believe this
Blake Carter
get out of the thread, or suffer the wrath of the almighty goddess-queen of the universe.
Cooper Cox
ill leave when you degenerates stop being dishonest with yourselves and start discussing music
Isaac Perry
Catapulting you back out with a solid kick to your shitposting behind.
Talking about an artist is still music discussion, you raging autist. Kys degenerate scum.
Charles Peterson
whatever. you are the one wasting your time by browsing threads you hate on a daily basis.
Samuel Brooks
tell me who's wasting their lives again.
Austin Perez
>a beacon that tells you just what is possible? Mainly this, though I'd probably frame it differently. She seems to function in a way that I like and find familiar, and creates things that I like. I'm easily influenced and drawn to relateability.
I'm a broken human being that never accomplished anything. Most of my life has been health problems. This aspect never occurs consciously, but perhaps I like seeing people who do what I think ought to be done, and made it. Normally however I just harvest elements from what people create. It gives you the means to be the same thing in a new way. Maybe the new way will allow change, and that it'll be more than just another lens.
Kevin Mitchell
what a fucking degenerate lmao
Nolan Cruz
Oh.
Jack Adams
her bf stuff is better.
Owen Roberts
I participate in Grimes threads on a regular basis because I enjoy discussing her and her amazing music.
by the way, thank you for helping keep our threads so active!
