Discuss the artist of this decade, Claire Elise Boucher. Remember: be nice to Grimes and to each other!
>Interviewer: What young artists do you feel an affinity with? I heard you're a Kendrick fan. >Joanna Newsom: I loved the latest Bjork album, I'm excited about the idea of Grimes. I haven't wrapped my head around the record. I find her so compelling and so unlike anybody else and so incredibly talented, skilled, and fun. I love her. I met her in LA a few months ago, she told me something along the lines of, "I grew up listening to your music". I will say, it made me feel really old for about five minutes, then it made me feel really happy. I was like well, I guess I'm old now, but that's okay because this awesome and amazing young musician likes my music and said that it was special to her when she was younger, so that's great. i-d.vice.com/en_au/article/life-after-whimsy-joanna-newsom-is-no-ethereal-creature

Carter Nelson
she's not cool anymore
she domesticated herself in those canadian woods.
Hudson Scott
What are you talking about? Grimes is still cool.
Benjamin Collins
she doesn't shitpost on twitter anymore she doesn't riot anymore she barely ever releases new music she takes forever to edit her music videos because she's too busy procrastinating she made james stop shitposting on the internet she doesnt do drugs because shes now a role model or some dumb shit like that she still lives in la aka uncoolsville
>she barely ever releases new music Talk to her label.
>she takes forever to edit her music videos because she's too busy procrastinating user, she's released more than 5 separate music videos just during the past three months.
>she doesnt do drugs because shes now a role model or some dumb shit like that Not doing drugs and still being cool is beyond cool desu.
>she still lives in la aka uncoolsville ...so?
>face it, she's really uncool Face it, you're nothing but a faceless NEET on the internet.
John Myers
lol if u think trashique is even close to the level of cool as her twitter used to be
Jack Cox
People change. Do you really expect her to be the same as she was in 2010-2012? She's still cool despite being more tame than before. She learned a thing or two about PR from her mgmt company, Roc Nation.
Lucas Flores
i believe in her i bought all her cd's n stuff
Michael Myers
im not gonna get my merch am i? something went wrong and i can't contact them.
James Hall

Grimes!
Jackson Rodriguez
>Hey, that's the very first pic of Grimes I've seen where I actually thought she was attractive! >Aaaaaaaand nevermind.
David Adams
Fwiw that second pic is photoshopped.
Jason Lewis
5'5". She constantly wears shoes that make her look taller than she actually is.
Alexander Gutierrez
>Aaaaaaaand nevermind. That user fooled you with that 'shopped pic. Here's the real one; she's still pretty.
Gavin Robinson
invest in some glasses because that bitch looks fucked up
Jayden Gutierrez
Look who's talking. You need new glasses, she's looking great.
Gabriel Edwards
I have many unorthodox theories on the nature and origin of Grimes but I still can enjoy her songs.
Isaac Sanchez
>I have many unorthodox theories on the nature and origin of Grimes Post the most important ones. How unorthodox they could be?
Noah Young
she fucked a model's asshole and got bleach on her t-shirt.
but like not physically, in her soul. that's a metaphor for her soul.
Lincoln Young
She's very attractive in some pictures, and very unattractive in others. Like very ugly, even. Music's pretty meh, although you can almost actually call it "unique".
Dominic Perry
>almost actually Lol I love how positively indecisive you are about your own opinion.
Aaron Brooks
he's insecure that anonymous assholes will call him dumb for liking music that isn't composed solely from a technical standpoint.
Jacob Hill
this is the worst series of replies i've ever seen, fuck both of you guys
Benjamin Smith
hi james, when are you releasing new music? its been a while...
I believe Grimes is the result of a mandrake root that was transplanted into the womb of an institutionalized woman by a mad scientist. There, it grew into the humanoid being born as Claire Boucher.
Jonathan Foster
nah she's just a nerd who was improperly raised
Kevin Gomez
Her music sucks, better?
Matthew Moore
Nope. Still sounds like a fake opinion penned by an attention-starved troll for the express purpose of drawing combative attention to his/herself. Keep trying. Sincerity will come to you eventually - if only by accident.
Joshua Foster
Hold your horses. Of course she's more attractive in some pictures but she's never "ugly"- personally i think she's beautiful in all of them. And come on, her musics gotta be some of the most unique stuff out there, why do you think people have such a hard time comparing her? She's by all definitions UNIQUE & her music is dope as shit, so get over it.
Hunter Miller
lamo
Blake Hernandez
How the fuck did this get past my filters?
Isaac Rodriguez
V E N U S F L Y W H E N?

Josiah Parker
i hope our grimey is sleeping well
Ian Robinson
Hey hey, you wanna play 'Cos baby I can go and go And every other day you're running off with so and so Well, baby I would throw you if I didn't know you but I'm paying for it
Caleb Walker
Well said.
Ayden Collins
Do you think Claire likes Angels and Ariwaves? I know she's listened to Blink. It's pretty teen but lately i've been having this craving for it.
They're pretty cool guys.Tom Delonge is apparently super into aliens and constantly tries to get papers released about it & their music is so uplifting with lyrics that are pretty powerful, underrated band imo. I don't understand people who'll scratch music if it sounds good to them, just because it gained some sort of stigma in their mind.
>Grimes' music is almost like the sonic equivalent of a Rorschach test for musical taste. Whether/to what extent a particular person finds it appealing says more about the nature of that person than anything else.
Blake Jackson
Good post desu
Jonathan Perry
How many boyfriends do you think she has had?
Jacob Phillips
Maybe 5 or 6 (the known ones are Devon, Pictureplane and James).
Josiah Nelson
And do you think that she has had sex with all of them?
Eli Nguyen
sadly yes
Zachary James
havnt been in these threads for a few months, whats the latest grimes news?
Jackson James
Maybe not with all of them. She's a girl not a robot.
These are just speculations, she knows better.
Jackson Ward
how do you know? What if she's still a virgin? I mean, just look at her, she's a beauty.
Blake Edwards
1. Venus Fly video coming soon 2. She's working on a new album >As she closes the door on this album, Boucher has a calmer project in mind for the next: “I’m really vibing on making something really slow and gorgeous that just breathes, and has room to breathe. I feel like my work has always been fast paced, kinetic, and almost just manic and I feel like for me the hardest thing I can do is make something that’s slow and heavy. I’m so ADD in my work; I really want to push myself into something that would be slower and more reflective.” vmagazine.com/article/v104-grimes-interview/

Not really a fan of this being a topic of conversation here, but I will say this: Based on both her own comments relating to such things and what little is publicly known about her private life, Claire Boucher is a prime example of what is known to some as a Kavorka Woman (see tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/KavorkaMan ) Which is to say that the answer to your question is probably: more than she ever really wanted.
>The polar opposite of the Casanova Wannabe and the Handsome Lech, this character has a long list of conquests and can bend any woman to his will — even though there's absolutely nothing attractive about him. In fact, he's a sleaze and/or looks like a baboon and/or treats women like garbage. Sensible, self-respecting women may scoff, but if so, he'll pull a clever come-on line on them or practice his patented stare on them and they'll be suckered in just enough to be proven wrong.
Are you kidding me? There's nothing attractive about Claire? She's actually pretty and beautiful in her own way. As great as her music is, it wouldn't be enough to cause such obsession. She, as a person, is attractive too.
Ian Murphy
A) You've quoted the definition for Kavorka MAN - I said Kavorka WOMAN for a reason. B) Jump to the end of the trope definition: >Justified Trope per Victoria Zdrok, stating in her book Dr. Z on Scoring that "equity theory" is at work with Kavorka Man, compensating for his obvious deficiencies with intangible qualities due to women being more cerebral than they're given credit for.
>Her image frowns in the centre of my screen as she struggles for the right words. ‘It’s just... my self-identity is so strongly based on my abilities as an artist and as a producer and an engineer, I’m allergic to the idea of ever being evaluated on my physical appearance. When people are like: “Marry me, Grimes” — I’m like, AGHHHGH. Like I can’t… it’s every day. Marry me, marry me. It’s so weird.’ standard.co.uk/lifestyle/esmagazine/grimes-i-always-feel-weird-selling-art-a3188211.html
Hence why I say she is a Kavorka Woman. And I'm not disparaging the way she looks either (because she is actually quite capable of being conventionally pretty when she wants to be.) It's just that her physical appearance is very clearly not the most attractive thing about her - which is really what the whole Kavorka Man/Woman trope is about.
Caleb Flores
her HIV has grown into AIDS
William Williams
OK. She's not conventionally pretty but I like the way she looks 90% of times (the exception are those ugly haircuts).
Kayden Campbell
>It's just that her physical appearance is very clearly not the most attractive thing about her That's right. Her talent expressed in her unique music is the main thing regarding her attractiveness.
