>If Grimes were a chef, she's be the type to grow her own ingredients or use products sourced from her local ranch. Then she would methodically make all components from scratch and carefully cook things together using methods that yields the best flavors without regards to saving time or cutting corners. The end result is a perfectly seasoned dish that is immensely flavorful but takes time to make as each meal is hand crafted with upmost care. For the diner, they enjoy a meal that is unique, delicious and memorable.
>The rest of the female 'artists', if they were chefs would either have a full kitchen staff to help her make the food and be subject to the talents of others, or use canned goods and rely on unhealthy ingredients that have addictive properties. Then they proceed to cook things via deep fryer or microwave just to get things out quickly so they can move on to the next customer. The consumer doesn't care because they don't know better and have become accustomed to such poorly processed foods that they don't know how to applicate a great meal.
If Grimes was a cabbage I would put my carrot in her if you know what i mean
Sebastian Johnson
Not only does it overstate what Grimes does, it's also very sexist. Good job.
Joseph Cruz
>it overstate what Grimes does No. >it's also very sexist. No.
Gabriel James
>be white male >think you can say whether something is sexist or not I'm glad you are becoming a powerless minority
Liam Gutierrez
I'm leaving Sup Forums
Luke Lewis
Grimes isn't very good and that second segment definitely implies that other women are incapable of being musicians without lots of assistance and even then their art won't have any substance because they're women. Actually, it doesn't just imply that. It outright says it. That's dumb. This is all just waifu nonsense.
Lucas Harris
leftists shouldnt concede that facism benefits whites
Charles Powell
(You)
Ryan Collins
in which fictional universe are white men becoming a powerless minority?
Mason Harris
Grims can't cook :/
Benjamin Cooper
doubt she does
Joseph Bennett
bump
Brayden Brown
are you sure?
Samuel Reyes
agree anon2, agree
Isaac Roberts
definitely a takeout person
Asher Allen
I don't like this pasta it's very demeaning towards other female artists and pinpoints exactly why Grimes stans are horrendous.
Josiah Bennett
yea
Camden Young
she is /ourgirl/ for a reason :^)
Jeremiah Butler
how do people think Grimes is that good? there are tons of indie pop/synth pop artists miles ahead of her
Charles Hill
Don't You'll incite the wrath of youruba
David Roberts
it's not her fault if other female artists can't even compare to her. she's the new standard, like it or not. other female artists should try to improve their skills if they want to be taken seriously as artists and not as mere puppets controlled by the music industry.
Elijah Watson
>there are tons of indie pop/synth pop artists miles ahead of her >tons whom? post 20.
Brayden Cooper
excuse me can you shut up
Justin Fisher
There are other female artists making their own music though Grimes is good but she's not the only one fighting the good fight
He has arrived
Logan Myers
holy shit fuck off grimes
Jeremiah Bell
how does it feel to know goblin will never reach bork's skill ;)
Blake White
>There are other female artists making their own music though they are all in minority. the vast majority of female artists rely on males for songwriting and production duties. even bjork.
not worse than knowing that I will never reach goblin's heart
Liam Turner
do you mean bork + her army of collaborators? grimes surpassed them easily. bork + her army of collaborators can't even make a decent album anymore to save their lives. that's why they did that horrendous cover, to gain attention through controversy, not music (the dull first single 'the gate'). even the amazing video can't save that song from being dull.
Kayden Phillips
yes. the pasta is obviously a hyperbole. grimes is not the only female artist doing that. but she's certainly the most acclaimed and popular; the other ones are underground.
Cameron Wilson
when i listen to grimes all i hear is generic pop music
pls recommend some groundbreaking grimes
Nathan Miller
i also enjoy average breakbeat people of soundcloud who can't even sing
Elijah Evans
medieval warfare is the jam of a lifetime, listen to it and don't look back
Adrian Miller
>he adds with a laugh That was a heartbroken sob
Julian Torres
i forgot to mention that track exists, you have to know that before listening to it. also not skip it if you bought the cd
Jack Martin
isn't this just autotuned pop trap with a loud chorus?
Jaxson Turner
good for you. i enjoy the superior grimes.
Isaiah Anderson
yes pain is funny
it's a social experiment
Gabriel Brown
Yes but don't tell them that
Ryan Gutierrez
it wasn't really groundbreaking was it just sounded as generic as the others i heard
i feel like either i'm missing something or it's just all a big meme
Matthew Garcia
then i guess your biased and nobody should want to listen to you
Jayden Morris
>when i listen to grimes all i hear is generic pop music >GENERIC POP MUSIC who did music like her? what is generic about it? >pls recommend some groundbreaking grimes clean up your ears and listen again to her entire discography. hopefully your pleb brain will not turn those gorgeous sound waves into generic pop again.
Christopher Anderson
meh. this is generic trap with a guitar riff on top. get some taste for chrissakes
Hunter Thomas
everyone is biased. you, me, everyone. we're just debating opinions here, not facts.
Adam Garcia
>who did music like her? what is generic about it?
it's not generic by means but it's definitely mediocre
Dylan James
trying to justify a generic low tier cash in made for a large corporation
Kayden Sanchez
And the meals she creates would still taste like Kraft Macaroni & Cheese
Isaac Ortiz
it is apex of american cuisine anyway
Chase Evans
Of course Grimes SOUNDS unique. No artists sound alike. It's her STYLE that's generic. All she does is combine the scraps of other pop and new wave artists. Talking Heads polyrhythms. New Order's synth style. Björk's vocal style. Animal Collective's layering.
Matthew Wright
>trap beats only on a very few songs of her. e.g. go, medieval warfare. the majority of her songs have house/techno/synth-pop beats. >autotuned vocals lol. you're confusing effects (delay, reverb, etc) with autotune. that's a stylistic choice and clearly not a mainstream thing. unlike her, most popstars make their voice as clear as possible. they don't obscure their voice like she did. >overdriven riffs only a handful of songs. did you even listen to her older albums? >indian scales again, only a handful of songs have that. her music is much more diverse than you think.
all in all, you're completely wrong.
Logan Campbell
i was only talking about that one track but ok, what a specious argument you cobbled together, points for that at least
>the majority of her songs have house/techno/synth-pop beats. and? is that more groundbreaking?
>lol. you're confusing effects (delay, reverb, etc) with autotune. nope that's definitely autotuned you can tell from the windowing
>her music is much more diverse than you think. i don't doubt it, because people here love her and what i've heard is so run of the mill i can't even work out which mill it;s from
James Richardson
buy her album
Robert Parker
>mediocre that's subjective. it's just your opinion. >it's her STYLE that's generic. you wot? her style is unique. >All she does is combine the scraps of other pop and new wave artists. Talking Heads polyrhythms. New Order's synth style. Björk's vocal style. Animal Collective's layering. so what? most artists take inspiration from other artists. she used those points of reference to build her own unique style. this sound like her and no one else: youtube.com/watch?v=5oqxz6hpGbs prove me wrong. >Talking Heads polyrhythms btw, they stole them from africans. do you see what i mean? nothing is 100% original.
Lucas Ramirez
...
Matthew Miller
Claire. We are truly sorry we called you "fuckable." Will you call off your minions now?
John Foster
i called her cute in some kind of really nice way
Ian Jones
>and? is that more groundbreaking? it's not generic like you said. the actual beats sound like grimes and no one else. e.g. youtube.com/watch?v=Fb_0LzBv894 also as a reference, post non-generic music in your opinion.
>nope that's definitely autotuned >you can tell from the windowing wrong. your argument is based on your subjective observation: it doesn't count. her vocals aren't autotuned, but filtered through effects. check her live performances. here's an unplugged performance: youtube.com/watch?v=s7rM67NPhZ8 this is her actual voice and it's very close to the recorded version.
>i don't doubt it, because people here love her and what i've heard is so run of the mill i can't even work out which mill it;s from maybe you heard only a couple of her poppier songs. dig deeper and you'll find some surprises, like this one: youtube.com/watch?v=hy3FPRaeW3Y
Jason Diaz
This is the ideal female musician. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.
Ethan Johnson
seriously thought you need to buy her album and don't deserve to not go out and buy it
Chase Ortiz
>still posting photoshopped pics in order to make her ugly pathetic
Hunter King
>buying albums >1988+29
Daniel Rogers
>so what? So what? You just admitted Grimes isn't unique asshole And by the way. Your "queen" uses GarageBand presets.
Matthew Thompson
everyones buying it
Brody Cooper
>also as a reference, post non-generic music in your opinion.
and you know you can apply autotune in real time, right?
Grayson Walker
I bought Halfaxa
Levi Carter
i'd argue that this looks better than her natural state
Justin Carter
talk about that
Brody Miller
i didn't, you idiot. you could be unique by using existing styles and making something new. that's called being innovative. >And by the way. Your "queen" uses GarageBand presets. she used some garageband presets in the past, but now she's working with ableton live. but even if she used some presets, she combined them in such a way that the end result sounds unique. it's like making a new cocktail using common ingredients.
Nathan Diaz
that example sounds like hipster boring shit. it's no wonder why grimes' maximalist style bothers you so much. she's 2 melodic 4 u. btw, claire hamill > that boring hack that you posted. youtube.com/watch?v=BX8PNBTs9PM >and you know you can apply autotune in real time, right? you can. but her vocals sound imperfect live. look, if you have no solid evidence that she's using autotune, you're just talking out of your ass. get it?
Nolan Adams
ogres are like onions
Justin Sanders
how is grimes 'maximalist'? do you even know what that word means?
its literally just generic pop music don't mind if you like it or whatever but don't pretend it's some radical original thing
Brayden Gutierrez
holy fucking shit dude
Juan Roberts
she inspires a large reaction
Blake Cox
>large
Jason Watson
Sage And you too cam sage by typing "sage" in the options box
Mason Green
useless sage. grimes > you silly sage. maximalist production: lots of layers of sounds. >its literally just generic pop music then you never listened to pop music if you say such bullshit. what other pop song from the charts even sound like this youtube.com/watch?v=hy3FPRaeW3Y ?
Landon Reyes
i love her so much
Juan Ross
Grimes is the Radiohead of synth pop Take that how you will
Jaxon Diaz
she's better than the dreary radiohead. her music is far more diverse in every way.
Cooper Price
but radiohead sucks
Lucas Morris
for you
Joseph Ward
Yeah and their fans think they're incredibly innovative when they're not
Jordan Roberts
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Grimes.
Kayden Rodriguez
>If Grimes were a chef, she's be the type to grow her own ingredients or use products sourced from her local ranch. Then she would methodically make all components from scratch and carefully cook things together using methods that yields the best flavors without regards to saving time or cutting corners.
>Then she would dump an entire jar of mayonnaise over it.
Cameron Martin
This. Lol
Lincoln Cook
Your logic sucks: according to you, Grimes is not innovative too because Radiohead are not innovative. Actually it's like this: Radiohead is not innovative - their fans think they're innovative Grimes is innovative - her fans think she's innovative
Aaron Turner
Reminds me of this: >"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. There is simply no one else in pop music like Boucher, with her ambitious, mold-breaking aesthetic and the ability to execute it all on her own. "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/
Jaxon Allen
This. I love Grimes but this pasta is trash.
Jordan Wilson
say what you want but she is really a living meme
Anthony Edwards
I love how deluded you are it's kind of funny Little grimesheep thinks their queen is special because her pop music has extra pop music on top of it The truth is that not even Grimes cares about the "innovation". She's just making music, and you spergs herald it as the greatest thing around. She'd probably laugh at you if she knew how highly you thought of her.
Anthony Gonzalez
>Jack Antonoff
isn't he like sexually assaulted someone recently
Nicholas Fisher
bump
Gavin Fisher
the truth is that she's extraordinary and you just don't like her music. >The truth is that not even Grimes cares about the "innovation". >still talking out of your ass she cares a lot about innovation. this is her goal: >i'm realizing that my true goal is to make something that sounds like nothing else and she succeeded so far, like it or not.
Jordan Garcia
who who
Isaac Peterson
a living meme that makes great music. what's not to like about her? she's anything but dull. being dull is the worst thing in music/art.
