Let's talk nicely about the fantastic Canadian artist known as Grimes.
News: - The futuristic new Venus Fly video featuring Janelle Monae is out now on Tidal
>almost finished building like 20 or so 5D multi timbral synths in roli equator, they'll be released for roli blocks later this year. never made synths from scratch before, its pretty fun Video with her playing a mean jam: instagram.com/p/BP6JQUMjSd_/
- Grimes produced a new Aristophanes song, Humans Become Machines: youtube.com/watch?v=BHmVqMISPLw If you don't know, Aristophanes is that Taiwanese rapper that performed on SCREAM.
- David Byrne is a fan: >"I started collecting pictures of Grimes, Madonna, Kate Bush, Sinèad O’Connor, on and on—popular musicians are obsessed with her. This trend inspired the premise for the show: a pop star decides to give in to the Joan obsession and tell her epic story in concert".
>Boucher's public persona is definitely striking, but one-on-one, the perception completely dissolves. Here I was expecting someone brimming with whimsy, but instead she was a 24-year-old girl; rather down to earth and just coming to terms with the concept of fame. The fame that brings David Byrne of Talking Heads to your shows. When his name came up, Boucher was absolutely ecstatic, like an excited little puppy. "The tour in America was fucking insane. David Byrne being there was crazy. I kinda wish I knew he was there before the show… But then again if I did, I probably would’ve been really nervous".
what a shitty 'musician', there is NOTHING redeemable about art angels, it's just some stupid glitchy sounds with her kpop-influenced squeeky singing
horrible on every level

Because RYM (the cradle of pretentious nerds, many of them mu/users) said that? LMFAO!!
Nathaniel Murphy
Grimes fans, keep reporting these dumb posts. Happy banning, trolls!
Julian Perry
>implying grimesfags on Sup Forums aren't just another type of pretentious stupid nerds
ROFLMAO!!!
Joseph Wright
daily reminder that telling people to report posts is against the rules
enjoy b& camp you fucking idiot
Evan Taylor
This, I don't know why these idiots are so deluded and defend her music so much
Cooper Jones
Okay. How small is your dick? One or two inches?
Brayden Ramirez
>implying grimer doesnt have a whopping 9 inch thick veiny cock
Kevin Wright
You were banned many times. Apparently the mods should be aware that you're circumventing the bans with VPNs and shit. You need a global permanent ban, dipshit. Happy banning asswipe!
>muh mods are my personal army >mods please ban people i dont like I got a 24 hr ban dude im not going to get permanently banned for shitting up grimes threads
the world doesnt revolve around what you want
Jeremiah Garcia
>I got a 24 hr ban Why do you lie, you putrid idiot? Hopefully the mods will check the IPs and block your whole IP range.
Anthony Jones
Im not lying man
Like I said "shitting up grimes threads" isnt a permanent ban level offense just because you want it to be
Chase Johnson
>your whole IP range dou you have the minor hint of how the internet works? kek
Jayden Mitchell
...
Landon Anderson
Yes, idiot. Ever heard of dynamic IPs? There's a range between they're generated. But if that dumbfuck is using a VPN that would be a bit more difficult to block.
Zachary Rodriguez
Hey dude do you wanna know what my secret to ban evading is?
Waiting for them to expire
Because they're only for 24 fucking hours
Camden Davis
Honestly? Because it triggers spergs like you. Plus she's a cool musician who makes cool music.
Jack Brown
Hard to believe you were banned just for 24h after your spamming sessions. Your spamming will achieve nothing. It's just a drop of piss in the ocean.
Jayden Morales
you should only be banned for posting pictures of her anyway
you can say bad words on blue board, it's ok
Isaac Adams
literally telecom engineer. blocking a range of dynamic IPs would ban a whole city in IPv6 and ISPs would not allow that because it affects lots of its clients. VPNs are easier to block if they're static, which they usually are because you pay per adress, so it's not worth it if you get banned
Ethan Martinez
>not being nice to Grimes Lol what spergs.
Elijah Russell
>Your spamming will achieve nothing same
you arent going to ever be accepted here man sorry
Brandon Myers
It depends how big is that range.
Samuel Morales
>same >implying that grimesposting = spamming As long it's music related and on topic, what's the problem?
Jaxon Miller
grimes is cools
Cooper Taylor
yeah nah she's a cunt
Alexander Reyes
I'm tired of this tthreads, I wonder if you would still make these threads if grimes dies out of the blue this week.
Joseph Bennett

Gavin Johnson
Ya If you're tired of them, filter them. You'll never see them again.
Juan Nelson
Grimes will die one day. I'm sorry.
Gabriel Cox
a tear shed for those lost
Logan Baker
RIP grimes.
Jonathan Gray
i will blow my brains out in a busy area
maybe a childrens playground
Juan Sullivan
t. Grineth.
Zachary Ross
Everyone will die one day. But her art will remain.
Ian Ortiz
her art is her children
Jaxon Bell
another day another grimes shillerino. at least they aren't trying to be subtle about it anymore.
Jason Gomez
it was mean't to be that way, and that's ok
i will use shotgun
Andrew Bell
>Everyone will die one day >Her art will remain
That logic.
Nicholas Reyes
Grimes would be nothing without white privilege
Kevin Richardson
this is not a racist comment
David Long
Problem? Filter it and get out.
Matthew Morales
"almost finished building like 20 or so 5D multi timbral synths in roli equator, they'll be released for roli blocks later this year. never made synths from scratch before, its pretty fun"
as a producer, something really irks me about the way she talks about making music haha. its really pretentious.
Easton Thompson
These sort of comments have no place on a music board. Go here
Gavin Edwards
everything she does is political. her existence is political
Ethan Long
This is a music board. Post your stupid "white privilege" crap elsewhere. No negotations.
Andrew Ramirez
You forgot the verb in your sentence. ie. >That is logic.
Josiah Edwards
Grimes is a miracle!
Isaiah Barnes
Shame that a large part of Sup Forums is immune to miracles. They are unable to recognize a great newish artist. They will jump on the bandwagon once Grimes will have a legend status like Bjork and Kate Bush.
Kayden Evans
I love her honestly
Austin Parker
That's because her natural writing style is incredibly informal. It's literally just a written-out transcription of what she would say out loud if someone was in the room with her. On the one hand it's great because it makes her incredibly personable. But on the other hand it can make her come across as pretentious because - although you get the overall gist of what she means in the words - you miss out on all the vocal/body language cues that normally accompany a conversation. It's a major part of the root cause for why it is she always has so much trouble with people (especially in the press) spinning her words.
Owen Murphy
this
Carter Kelly

Nolan Nguyen
Exactly. Her writing style is very close to her actual speaking style. Without the body language to support those words, her written messages could be misinterpreted as pretentious or whatever.
Isaac Scott
she acts uncontrollably nervy and you know it
Andrew Martin
She seems nervous most of the time. A chill Grimes wouldn't be really Grimes, right?
Gabriel Ramirez
Did you like Grimes after the first listen? Or it was a longer process?
Lincoln Gomez
A MUCH longer process.
Alexander Lewis
Does this post make any sense? >i think i speak for everyone in mu when i say that i don't hate grimes, i don't like her music and i don't listen to her, that's it, but the problem are all of her autistic fans rbt.asia/mu/thread/S70814019#p70814844
How could that user dislike her music if he didn't even listen to it? Black magic?
Levi White
It was a long process for me too. Fortunately I realized that she's the real deal.
Kayden Parker
>Does this post make any sense? nope
Anthony Morales
will she be like bowie and always be semi relevant or will she pull a madonna and after she breaks mainstream will she become highly controversial and become super irrelevant except as a pop culture joke
Jaxon Nelson
Your prediction is totally off scale. Grimes is umpredictible, she could make masterpiece after masterpiece or she could retire from music. I bet she will not become highly controversial for the simple reason that the quality of her art is really high and most probably will remain really high. There's nothing controversial about her acclaim, she's mostly loved by the music world.
Christopher Miller
but dont forget its a POP project and she's the POP STAR
will the mainstream public be able to accept her quirks? people don't have a high tolerance for breaking the social status quo...
Sebastian Lee
She's not really a pop star. Only some of her songs are pop (and not even 100% pop). Listen to songs like Scream, Omega, Venus in Fleurs, Eight, Colour of Moonlight, Favriel, Life in the Vivid Dream, Rasik, Swan Song, Dream Fortress, Caladan, Shadout Mapes, Beast Infection, Circumambient. Do those songs sound like they belong to top 40? Be honest.
Luis Perry
yes, actually.
well not so much the ones from her earlier albums.
Landon Diaz
Ya think?
Adam Perry
Scream sounds like a top 40 song? Did you even listen to the actual top 40?
Lucas Long
did you?
Gavin Jones
I did. To know the "enemy" ;)
I can assure you that nothing from top 40 sounds even remotely close to those tunes that I mentioned before. Many of Grimes songs are catchy as fuck, but first you must get the appeal of her voice and her all over the place style. Most pop fans don't have patience, they want quick rewards.
Adam Reyes
so you agree that she will pull a madonna
I'm too lazy to find it but there's a 2011 interview where she mentions her ultimate goal is to be a pop star, soooo
Alexander Allen
Grimes will not pull a Madonna, she too weird for that. She will pull a Bjork. She's that kind of popstar, the art popstar.
>I'm too lazy to find it but there's a 2011 interview where she mentions her ultimate goal is to be a pop star, soooo I know. She wants to be a popstar but not any kind of popstar. This is her main goal: >"To become the world's weirdest pop-star and be respected for having a strong, experimental body of work that represents something new in music and that is considered to be 'important' rather than 'popular'."
That sounds more like a Bjork kind of popstar than Madonna to me.
Dominic Fisher
grim
Juan Bennett
es
Hudson Thompson
quit comparing she to bjork reeee
Anthony Lewis
What's the problem? They're both great art pop artists, so it's natural to compare them.
John Price
stop.
Luis White
No thanks
Nicholas Turner
you compare them cuz they are both females
Hunter Foster
comparing bjork with grimes is a stupid meme
Christian Ward
Common things between Grimes & Bjork: >weird voices >quirky, playful personalities >strange fashion sense >interesting live shows >acclaimed electronic music >dedicated fanbase >obscure albums before the proper breakthrough albums (Grimes has Geidi Primes & Halfaxa, Bjork has S/T album from 1977) >eclectic music taste.
