Discuss the awesome Canuck electronic artist Claire Boucher known as Grimes.
Suggested topics: >How and when did you find out about her? >Rank/rate her albums and post your favorite songs of hers. >Did you see her live? Do you plan to? >Who would you like to see her collab with?
And what's your point? Just because some occasional plebs got into her music it doesn't mean the vast majority will do the same. Your point is invalid. Stay pleb.

>Honestly Grimes is the most overrated, over-reported musical act of this decade. I love a few of her songs and she is clearly Rated just right as a fashion model and youth celebrity, but as a musician, she doesn't deserve the place she's in. There's not enough to warrant it on a musical basis, it's all "X Factor." And that's fine, but I would rather see music media focus on music and she can be a YouTube star like Rosanna Pansino. There's plenty of room to talk about her fabulous clothing and visual aesthetic. I don't know if I could talk about her music for five minutes. B T F O
They deleted all his contributions. Pathetic critic.
>Ott is a notorious crank who uses his Twitter feed to decry the commodification of the independent arts. At his best he can be a necessary check on the capitalist impulses of the music industry and the publications that cover it. At his worst he can be a straight-up asshole who uses his modest platform to hammer away at personal grudges, many of which seem to end up involving women who make and/or write about indie rock. To some he is an anti-hero, to others he is simply a verbal harasser.
>I would say it does, but Pitchfork has deleted plenty of articles before—in some cases, infamously so—and practically speaking, Ott is a unique case. His structural criticism was often a trojan horse for a personal vendetta, and he has gone out of his way to inflame the individuals who work at and run Pitchfork. He probably deserved something. But who exactly was punished?
Jack Collins
Chris Ott LITERALLY did nothing wrong
Dylan Reyes
Being a huge douchebag is nothing wrong? In your dreams, baby. This asshat got what he deserved. Karma is a bitch.
>His structural criticism was often a trojan horse for a personal vendetta, and he has gone out of his way to inflame the individuals who work at and run Pitchfork.
Jeremiah Wright
Chris Ott's opinions about Grimes are worthless. The toilet paper is way more valuable than his bantz.
Wyatt Miller
Aww is babby buttmad that his favowite artist got BTFO like they deserved?
Jesus fucking christ the only thing more obnoxious than you fucks is grimes' discography
Sebastian Price
>like being new isnt fucking reviled on this board Except that this is /grimes on /mu, where we actually appreciate new things/people (since it's an inherent trait in liking Grimes' music.) So kindly take your assholery off to your own thread.
>Cause Im new here Cool (if actually true.) (Regardless) hi!
Xavier Cooper
Wow, you really BTFO'd that guy. How will he ever recover?
Jaxson Harris
post your favorite pic of claire that's respectful of her as an artist and a person and list off what your favorite grimes song is and why.
My favorite song is omega. I love how primal it sounds, it makes me want to dance around a fire and grunt in rhythm. It's one of her most minimalistic songs and yet it's so powerful.... truly an amazing work of art.

Nolan Clark
the only pleb shit here is you
patrician isn't a collection of music or art. it's a state of mind. one that you seem mentally incapable of reaching...
that is why you will always be pleb. no matter how much you convince yourself that you like so called "patrician" music like NMH, harsh noise, Swans, etc.
you fail to understand patrician as a concept and you act like a dirty beggar. you are the textbook definition of pleb.
Jayden Adams
Thats how gassing works
Alexander Kelly

>Do you think people deserve grief? Do you give people grief when they deserve it? Me, I hope to relieve people of their grief. For a long time I had this theory: the impossibility of a female Kurt Cobain. What he represents, leaning against the system and yet supported by consumers, there was no woman in the world that could command the masses so utterly. The music industry wouldn't let her. This thing I've been stewing about since I saw Grimes play to 20 people in 2011, and started reading her Tumblr, and then really starting feeling when "Oblivion" came out, is that Claire is the closest thing we have to a female Kurt Cobain, smart enough to understand the system but righteous enough to wall-jump away from it. But also, interestingly, what an inversion her approach is to Kurt's. His pose was anti-establishment, her pose is post-structural. He was rigorous, she is always looking outward, game for genre-experimentation and hilarity. I feel like even if I don't like her music, and I do so far, I will always feel like she's several steps ahead of me, several books ahead of me, and that makes me feel really fucking good. Anyone who gives her grief about anything can kick rocks as far as I'm concerned. undertheradarmag.com/interviews/2014_artist_survey_owen_pallett/

(continued from) >"Trying to describe Grimes is like trying to describe Tom Waits or Springsteen or Neil Young—like, I don't know, just go listen to Neil Young. Claire is just Claire," says Jack Antonoff, the songwriter and performer behind the bands fun. and Bleachers, as well as an established producer who won an Album of the Year Grammy for his work with Taylor Swift on 1989... "Claire is extremely technically skilled on a production level, which gets missed a lot because it plays into some gender issues," Antonoff explains. "Usually the way records are made is with a lot of people involved—this person did that snare sound, and this other person did that beat. To have one person doing everything would be the equivalent of having one person designing the house, building it, doing all the plumbing, all the electric, decorating it, and then living in it for 100 years and creating a great vibe. What Claire does is just crazy." elle.com/culture/music/a35362/grimes-profile/
Who are you inclined to believe? The words of a single failed music critic whose own publication (itself oft' maligned) has since completely disowned him or the words of multiple successful musicians who clearly know what they're talking about?
Grayson Sullivan
He doesn't even understand what patrician is, he thinks it can be quantified in specific tastes... It's kind of embarrassing that someone as autistic as him can post and be so blissfully not self-aware of the irony of it all.
Truly people like him are the worst posters on Sup Forums, they never stop to think about what they are saying or the big picture at large. No wonder they hate Grimes, I doubt they even know the meaning behind any of her songs, save for Medieval Warfare or Oblivion. You know, the basic ones or the really popular and well known ones...
Leo Torres
Yes keep spamming the same message.
It's not like that's blatantly against the rules or anything...
Asher Hill
>or the words of multiple successful musicians who clearly know what they're talking about There are a lot of successful musicians who are just complete attention whore dumbasses
Take grimes for example

I can't help but wonder how long it's gonna take for he/she/it to realize that...they(?) are the only one in these threads that actually thinks what they have to say matters to anyone else.
Bentley Robinson
Yup, it is, shes pretty fucking terrible and has, as far as im aware because i absolutley cannot be bothered to listen to any of her music and have only listened to a few songs largely against my will over the course of 3 years, pretty much no musical skill at all
Sebastian Ortiz
It matters to me and that's what counts :^)
Oliver Stewart
>i absolutley cannot be bothered to listen to any of her music you can't make this shit up
h8r doesn't listen to musician's music, yet feels the need to shitpost in a general for said musician!
it's so fucking perfectly pathetic.
Julian King
>h8r doesn't listen to musician's music, yet feels the need to shitpost in a general for said musician Like I said i listened to maybe 2 songs and that was more than enough to deduce it was complete garbage
