>model
wow, so talented

Believe it or not, modeling is actually EXTREMELY physically taxing on the human body. Career models end up suffering from all sorts of chronic health conditions later in life because of all the time spent posing. And don't even get me started on what high heels do to these poor people's feet over the years.

Wow, very inflated

I feel like "lyricist" is just a part of "songwriter", "sound engineer" is a part of "producer", and you can group visual artist along with "video director", "Dancer", "live performer"

>I feel like "lyricist" is just a part of "songwriter", "sound engineer" is a part of "producer", and you can group visual artist along with "video director", "Dancer", "live performer"
That's probably because you've never tried doing any of them (much less more than one at a time) professionally desu. E.g. even classic songwriting masters like Schubert or Brahms went out of their way to avoid having to write original lyrics for anything because of the added work that would entail.

she has an impressively terrible discography

>That's probably because you've never tried doing any of them
Well, I have about 100 published songs.

How about you?

>I feel like "lyricist" is just a part of "songwriter"
That's the only possible thing from your list. Anything else are jobs on their own.

Being a feminist.

Modeling is a job like any other. Just because it seems easy it doesn't mean it's not a job (activity that allows a person to make money). Stop being such a snob.

>Anything else are jobs on their own.
Not really. Engineering should be a part of being an actual producer, if you are doing it right

Everything else is an umbrella of visual arts. its like saying a drummer plays snare, floor tom, rack mount tom, crash cymbal, ride cymbal, hi hat and kick

Actually, it's the other way 'round. Career models (and even moreso ballet dancers) have a very high tendency to get into heavy drug addictions as their careers progress as a direct result of them self-medicating for pain.

that's an impressively terrible b8

No. Producer and sound engineer are 2 separate things. Read the credits of any album you want. And educate yourself:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Record_producer
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_engineer

>Producer and sound engineer are 2 separate things
They shouldn't be. You clearly have never been in a studio in your life

>Everything else is an umbrella of visual arts
It's not. Putting dancing, drawing, directing, editing in the same basket is insulting to those who spent their lifetime doing these jobs. They're separate things that require separate skills. e.g. You could be a great drawer but a terrible dancer.

>down-to-earth image

Her mustache
Her fucking ugly face

It doesn't matter what you believe, the fact remains: they're separate jobs. If a producer is sometimes a sound engineer that's not the norm. In a professional recording studio everyone has his precise role.

>Well, I have about 100 published songs.
Lol oddly enough, so does Grimes.

>You could be a great drawer but a terrible dancer.
Regardless, they are in the same umbrella, and it's being over inflated here.
>It doesn't matter what you believe
I never stated what I believe. I'm going by industry standards

Why not? Don't you see how relatable she is? youtube.com/watch?v=TImLVIJS3tE

MUH GRIMES

MUH WAIFU

DAE LAUREN MAYBERRY XD

she's a fucking sperg autistic liberal gutter hipster. she looks like she smells like dirty feet and period blood.

sounds like half of Sup Forums

>I'm going by industry standards
Then admit that those are separate jobs and stop being so contrarian. You're not gonna win.

>Regardless, they are in the same umbrella, and it's being over inflated here.
They're not inflated at all. These are things she actually did.
- She did ballet for 11 years. She dances on stage too.
- She directed & edited almost all her videos.
- She drew for over a decade. The cover art of her albums has been done by her.
- She featured in many fashion / music magazines (but no catwalk).

These are not bullshitting, these are facts.

>hating grimes so much
You must be fun at parties.

Psssst: you hate her so much because she reminds you of yourself.

she may have those skills but she's only a professional musician.

just tired of seeing endless fanboi grimes threads for years. your waifu is an act and she will never have any sort of interest towards you ever.

Producers' work happens from in-front of the desk and in a DAW. Engineers' work from behind the desk and inside the actual recording booth. It's the same division of labor you find in the computing industry between Computer Science and Information Technology professionals. Engineers are hardware specialists, producers are software specialists.

>dirty feet

>Then admit that those are separate jobs
For years upon years, they were the same. How many studios have you worked in?

>They're not inflated at all
Oh you are the same guy?

So weird how defensive Grimes fans are when they get called out on poor logic. So, how many published songs do you have again?
>Producers' work happens from in-front of the desk and in a DAW
Oh did they have DAWs in 1955?

Tray again

Yes. But that doesn't take anything from her skills. Those other skills contribute to her music career: - - dancing: entertaining the crowd;
- drawing: album cover art (necessary) + posters;
- director & editor - promotional music videos;
- model: promoting herself + making some extra money that allows her to buy equipment and live a comfortable life --> supports her music making.

>implying she's a waifu and not a serious musician
You're trying too hard.

i literately can do all of that but i dont call myself an artist, a model, or a director, faggot.

>Producers' work happens from in-front of the desk and in a DAW. Engineers' work from behind the desk and inside the actual recording booth
Since Grimes is self-produced, she's doing both roles, so there is no division of labor here.

>Oh did they have DAWs in 1955?
We're talking about these days, grandpa. These days are relevant, not what happened in 1955. Don't move the goalposts.

the only reason she's so popular is because you faggots want to bone her. she's really not that great at all. you're being manipulated by her marketed image. it's all an act targeted towards you lonely autistic white knights.

>We're talking about these days, grandpa
Nice goalpost shifting

>i literately can do all of that but i dont call myself an artist, a model, or a director
If you can do that it doesn't mean you're good at them. The measure of your success is how many people give a fuck about your "art". I bet not too many. Stay mad, failed retarded "artist".

>whining about her being popular
>contributing to her popularity by posting in/bumping her threads
You must be a sudointellectual. Also you're still trying too hard. Take your chill pills.

i literally just said i don't call myself an artist. her success is due to her marketing techniques that you lonely horny idiots buy into. thats all.

grimes suck. she a dying trend and you faggots will go onto the next whore.

That's not goalpost shifting. We're discussing the artist Grimes that is relevant now; she didn't even exist in 1955. Also FYI the production and sound engineering changed during the years. Get with the times, grandpa.

>Well, I have about 100 published songs.
A) ~100 links, please.*
B) Are any of them any good?
C) How many of the following roles did you personally take on in the creation of each and every single one of these ~100 songs?
1. Songwriter
2. Lyricist
3. Singer
4. Instrumentalist
5. Recording Engineer
6. Music Producer

>/inb4 not gonna do that because it would negate my anonymity
You should've thought of that before you attempted to make a point with a boast that you're not gonna reasonably be able to prove.

>i don't call myself an artist.
Who gives a fuck if you pretend you're not doing art despite doing it with pathetic results? Facts are facts. Don't mess with them.

Shit comment coming from a vile "person". You're not worthy of attention.

>For years upon years, they were the same.
And ever since real-time digital computing took over the recording studio (i.e. before Grimes started making music) they haven't been.

>her success is due to her marketing techniques
So, anything but her music? How delusional could you be? The marketing techniques could fool someone at the beginning, but have zero chances in the long run. No amount of marketing could convince someone to like the ACTUAL MUSIC of an artist.

>that is relevant now
Goalpost shifting

I believe they all are

All of them.
>/inb4 not gonna do that because it would negate my anonymity

Wrong. user here brought it up Will you force him to do the same?
>And ever since
Not relevant

>Oh did they have DAWs in 1955?
Why are you addressing my present tense comments in the past tense? Are you confused?

>So, how many published songs do you have again?
Isn't a fallacy for these sort of "arguments"? Like the amount of songs published have anything to do with cold facts.

I don't give a fuck how many songs you published (maybe they're all bad anyway). If you're confusing producing with sound engineering, you're laughable.

She's managed to make it through life looking like the hobgoblin.

>Why are you addressing my present tense comments
Why are you changing a general conversation to only be in present tense?
>Isn't a fallacy for these sort of "arguments"?
Again, ask user here who said "That's probably because you've never tried doing any of them", an ad hominem fallacy

(You)

Why are you making her relevant by discussing her? Checkmate autist.

>Since Grimes is self-produced, she's doing both roles, so there is no division of labor here.
No shit, Sherlock. Sound engineering and music production are both specialized fields of knowledge. Home studio setups might enable a single person to go about effectively accomplishing both tasks, but they don't change the specific fields of practiced knowledge (hard-science electrical engineering and acoustics for sound engineering, and soft-science software manipulation and sound psychology for music production) required of a single individual to arrive at an effective result.

youtube.com/watch?v=JxaGx2t2VBM

Indeed. If she does producing & sound engineering herself it doesn't change the fact she has to learn TWO extra jobs.

>hard-science electrical engineering and acoustics for sound engineering
Prove Grimes knows this.

>moving the goalposts
Why?

>hard-science electrical engineering and acoustics for sound engineering

Oh so you are saying Grimes does *not* engineer her own material.

OK

I didn't say that. Don't put words in my mouth.

I would hope you'd read the thread before posting. Why didn't you?

I see that you're making some bullshit assumptions. Please stop posting bullshit ITT.

>Please stop posting bullshit ITT.
Are you going to tell that to "all" the Grimesposters as well, or just me?

All Grimes haters are frankly pathetic.

when did Grimes get /thicc/?

>p r o j e c t i n g
also
>using the derogatory term 'faggot' incorrectly
Lol. Now shoo - don't you have some heavy metal music videos featuring heavily muscled, sweaty men to jerk of to?

She's not thick, she just has the right proportions.

>she's really not that great
In comparison to whom and in terms of what?

>goalpost shifting
user, prior to your post, everything said here was written in the PRESENT tense. The only person trying to "shift" things up here is you. And you've already failed.

>everything said here was written in the PRESENT tense.
Not relevant

No one specifically set the standard that Grimes should only be discussed in terms of music in the past 5 years. You only did when I showed you how deluded you people are

being the artist of this decade

>Using the derogatory term 'faggot' incorrectly
Now this has to be bait

>do you have a BMI
Do you?

>Will you force him to do the same?
user, that's one of my posts. Anyone with a brain knows that being a lyricist (composing poetic verse for the purpose of setting it to music) and being a songwriter (composing bars of music using the raw language of sound) are fundamentally different tasks, most often performed by different sets of people.

>Not relevant
Irrelevant to music in 1955, perhaps. But most DEFINITELY relevant to music made since at least 1982 (when the Compact Disc came into being.)

>Why are you changing a general conversation
see

would you eat food prepared by grimes?

>Do you?
Why would I ask if I didn't?
>user, that's one of my posts
Oh, excellent! I will sacrifice my anonymity if you will
>songwriter (composing bars of music using the raw language of sound)
Wrong, since a song is defined as the marriage of music and lyrics. You should probably research your terms before using them
>(when the Compact Disc came into being.)
How is this relevant?
See

pic is proof

i would eat it directly from her fingers

She looks like a fucking Lama.

edgy

>who said "That's probably because you've never tried doing any of them", an ad hominem fallacy
Nope, not what I said. I said:
>That's PROBABLY because you've never tried doing any of them (much less MORE THAN ONE at a time) PROFESSIONALLY desu.
Given that you are an user posting on Sup Forums, the above analysis is PROBABLY the case since this website is uniquely suited to allowing people to lie through their teeth about things without recourse. Hence why any factual claim - such as yours about having ~100 entirely self-created songs to your name (an entirely possible fact, given that Grimes is in the same boat) is worthless for proving any sort of point ITT unless you can provide an external link verifying it.

(You)

She's not Danz

is that an insult? llama are pretty cool in my opinion

>you need to back up your claims
>but I don't need to back mine up
Why is that?

Of course, because music can be objectively rated and graded to be good or bad on the basis of fundamental natural laws deeply rooted in the fabric of the universe.
I'm not trying to present myself as holier than thou. Just wondering what's behind the urge to go out of your way, abandon enjoying whatever music you enjoy in order to convince someone else to stop enjoying theirs. I'm just wondering, y'know.
The 100 song guy piqued my interest, I'm a curious creature by nature. I need to know his identity now.
