Let's discuss the one and only Canuck artist, Claire Elise Boucher. You know the drill: be nice to Grimes and to each other. Please keep the hate for yourself, this is a comfy thread.
A relaxing tune for y'all: youtube.com

Anthony Torres
Joseph King
Grimes should retire
William Richardson
Why?
Jack Stewart
She should hire session musicians next time.
Adrian Bailey
No. She's doing fine on her own.
Julian Ortiz
she's the best
James Sullivan
she Sup Forums's lorde or something ?
Nicholas Perez
Dude, Grimes posted about Lorde before most people heard about her. To answer your question: Grimes is Sup Forums's new Bjork or Kate Bush (Sup Forums still like these 2).
Parker Brown
I think I remember giving her stuff a go a couple years ago after seeing her hyped up alongside Zola Jesus ( which I thought was a tragic waste of potential ) and I only seem to remember gabber-sounding drivel with jajajaja I'm an urban witch-type vocals. Was I just not looking at the right stuff ?
Michael Green
>Was I just not looking at the right stuff ?
Indeed. Not only her albums are different to each other, but they have nothing to do with "gabber-sounding drivel". Her music is a synthpop/dreampop hybrid with influences from IDM, R&B, medieval, J-pop, industrial, ambient, classical.
Joseph Thompson
i'm not good enough for grimes
Adrian Ross
no you were right it's all pretty mediocre
Brandon Harris
what did you listen to? I suggest Art Angels
Caleb Hall
this
Owen Reyes
I can't find it anymore so I suppose it wasn't Grimes but I think I was close enough with the urban witch stuff, the tracks used for her music videos are what soundcloud would sound like if it were a genre.
I don't dislike it but it kind of feels like an odd " what would happen if we made records only using stock FL studio plugins ? " experiment.
I'll give Art Angels a shot later today.
Wyatt Gomez
is it true (You)s are gone?
Hudson Rodriguez
>I'll give Art Angels a shot later today.
Report your thoughts on this album after that.
Juan Perez
checked
Daniel Ramirez
What. The. Fuck. The (You)'s really are gone
what the fuck hiroshima you fucking hack can you do anything right?
Jackson Moore
Who told you that?
Samuel Williams
the other boards.
Nathan Stewart
why would you need other boards when /grimes monopolized your favorite place on the internet desu?
Carson Diaz
While looking in the archive I found this old thread and read the whole thing.
rbt.asia
You guys are so defensive. Do you love CRJ and other female top 40 pop in truth or do you feel like your standards are higher?
Lincoln Nelson
>You guys
>implying the grimes fanbase think like a single person
Some Grimesfans like CRJ too, some hate her, some don't care. Nothing unusual.
Juan Howard
bump
Hunter Reed
i'm not sure what to think of grimes anymore. people just love to troll her fans so hard
Lucas Mitchell
It's viceversa. "People" (other moo-tants) are really triggered by the simple mention of her name. The joke's on them.
Christian Rodriguez
yeah that's totally what i was referring to user
Eli Martin
You said:
>people just love to troll her fans so hard
It's just an illusion. They're not in control here, they just troll themselves. That explains the large amount of these people being really mad and naming the Grimesfans as the worst fanbase. Why they do that? Because they trolled themselves hard...
Ian Reyes
Grimes looks a little like a girl I had a crush on in high school. She had a bf already.
Grimes pictures make me a little melancholic.
Jace Perez
she's like someone i could feel close to. do want
Xavier Morris
She's very relatable.
Dominic Rogers
Grimes is an ugly ass bitch!
Dylan Perry
grimes is thicc
Ryder Wright
IS this shopped?
I know that she like the ruskis, but not to this extend.
Christopher Stewart
>projecting his ugliness on grimes
Chase Lee
fuck u
Cameron Phillips
imagine those arms around you
Jose Turner
>Please keep the hate to yourself
Nah I'm good she's a complete trash artist who makes complete trash music and her fans are unwelcome stinky weebs who need to leave this board
Charles Foster
>ICP
Jeremiah Jenkins
I will never like her because she is canadian
I don't care if she becomes a US citizen she will always have the blood of a filthy canadian piece of garbage fuck her
Fuck canada.
Zachary Davis
kys
Nolan Bell
Fuck off both of you. Disgusting pigs...
Bentley Smith

Nathan Foster
GTFO, scumbag
Hunter Perry
Dumb tumblrpleb
Robert Campbell
grimes is thicc [2]
Julian Lewis
No. She just has awesome proportions.
Cameron Ward
she has a fucking malnourished twig body
literally 2/10 wouldnt bang
Daniel Adams
Nobody cares if you would bang or not. Gtfo.
Kayden Richardson
There's no need to be mean here, kid.
Leo Rodriguez
Keep your advices to yourself. Next time don't behave like a disphit. kid.
Dylan Evans
>deleting a shit post
How brave you are.
Cooper Johnson
I replaced it with a less vitriolic version. It's not about bravery: I pity your pathetic life.
Jose Cook
Says the one who insults random strangers on a chinese cartoon board.
Carson Morris
I insult random strangers that insult Grimes on a chinese cartoon board. Deal with it.
Jeremiah Myers
meanies leave please
Thomas Thomas
hypnotizing..
Colton Kelly
>Not being nice to Grimes or your fellow anons
Kayden Miller
Visions was a great album..I deleted the last
Lincoln Gonzalez
Voignamir (since it's thematically related):
youtube.com
Cameron Morales
>grimes haters will call this ugly
Alexander Ramirez
They're just delusional. They would do anything to deny their true feelings: they secretly admire her.
Joseph Rivera
What is her most beautiful song?
Luke Phillips
I always feel something good when I listen to "know the way"
Brayden Adams
I think it'd be cool to get a coffee and have a chat with her weekly. And I find her attractive. But she just needs to go away with the terrible music.
I've had a love/hate with her since after she released Go. Everything she's done after musically, visually, and from a performance perspective have just been a step in the opposite direction of her potential she had with Visions and then Go.
Brandon Bell

Juan Brown
>it's hard to understand, because when you're really by yourself it's hard to find someone to hold your hand
>I try and I try
>To make you cry
>And make you love me
>But I would say yes
>Oh I would say yes
>The things they see in me, I cannot see myself
>When you get bored of me, I'll be back on the shelf
>Oh falling off the edge with you
>Oh it was too good to be true
>I hate that you're leaving
>So why don't you talk to me?
>You act like nothing ever happened
>But it meant the world to me
...
>You were never in love to begin with
>So now I'm suffering
Tyler Powell
Pretty accurate actually. Although I'd swap "you just don't like it" with "you misinterpreted where I was trying to go."
James Hill
Beautiful lyrics
Jace Gonzalez
What would you do if Grimes called for all straight cis white males to be killed? Would you kys?
Nathaniel Moore
Stop asking stupid question, bloody idiot.
Ryan Peterson
>triggered
Why is it so hard for you to contemplate this possibility?
Zachary Cooper
every grimes song
>*black key melody*
>*heavy bass kicks*
>OOOH AAAH
>I CRY BECAUSE BOYS ARE BIG MEANIEEES
>VENUS UNICORNS ARE NOT WHAT THEY SE~EM
>I WILL RIDE UPON A WHALE
>AAAAHH OOOOHH
>*20 layers of reverb*
Sebastian Brown
>*black key melody*
>*heavy bass kicks*
That's just Genesis. Anything else: pure crap invented by you.
Robert Green
lol i see you haven't listened to grimes' discography
Mason Reyes
>Spelling the same word multiple different ways at the same time
Who do you think you are? William Shakespeare?
Hudson Sanders
(You)
Landon Wright
>black key melody
genesis and some other visions songs
>heavy bass kicks
a lot of her discography utilizes them, esp. halfaxa
>ooh aah/aah ooh
grimes is known for her oohs.
>i cry because boys are big meanies
vanessa + any of her songs about love
>i will ride upon a whale
ripped from Gloam.
>*20 layers of reverb*
caladan
Logan Hall
Because it makes no sense (see pic related.)
Adrian Walker
...so in other words when you said
>every grimes song
You were - in fact - conflating* the truth.
* Bet you had NO idea there was an actual word for it...
Justin Collins
yes i am a stupid dumbie i had no idea that word was a thing
thank you for showing me the light, i love grimes now.
Ryder Martinez
>The lyrics of Boucher’s songs are often emotionally charged, but sometimes the cloak is so iridescent that you don’t immediately notice the dagger lurking beneath. “Oblivion” was written after an incident of sexual abuse that she experienced in Montreal a few years ago. “I was literally in tears when I sat down to make that song,” she says. Four hours later, she had translated her trauma into a digital-age cult smash with a message that reached millions (18m on YouTube and counting). “For me, that’s the best motivation for music. You’re turning emotional existence into a product that people can understand, and you get a high off that. I think the first reason I make music is that it’s a therapeutic way to deal with things. I always make the best shit when I’m upset. If you start off really upset and you work and work till the sun is rising and you are finishing, you can tell it’s really universal and it’s this great thing... That high is unbeatable; that’s the greatest fucking high on planet Earth.”

Some specific songs having some specific traits =/= all her discography. Stop generalizing.
Caleb Diaz
And there are people who hate this kind of person. She could be an inspiration to anyone.
