>both rejected huge commercial deal
>known for aggressive live shows
>mysterious persona

Ethan Bailey
this is maybe a valid comparison for early DG but they're too much of a cultural phenomenon at this point for it to still work
Jayden Gutierrez
Korn or Slipknot. Both bands were highly lauded for what sounded like a different (from the surface at least, and at their time) take on the kind of rock/metal that existed before them. Not only that, but they also became quite popular among the alternative, not very social types due to their abrasive sounds, too. But, like Death Grips, most of their gimmicks don't go beyond the surface, and they all ultimately lack creativity particularly from a structural perspective when it comes to writing interesting music. As a result, all three come off as more image than music.
Leo Richardson
Kurt Cobain cited Raping a Slave on the top 50 albums of all time and Thurston Moore was a member at one point.
Both very influential figures in 90s alternative
Mason Howard
When attempting to compare two disparate time periods, it's best to remember that popular culture tends to travel in 30 year cycles, not 20. You'd be better off asking who were the Death Grips of the 1980's. That seems a far more reasonable question.
Jace Foster
it's already like that
there's an early interview where zach compares them to nirvana, it was made before they really gained traction and wasn't published until after they did
Jaxson Miller
i used to think it was public enemy, just sound wise
Jeremiah Green
this
Ayden Hill
Yeah PE's production plus something like early Melvins is probably pretty close
Christian Martinez
Wesley Willis, obviously
Samuel Ramirez
Kurt Cobain and Thurston Moore were both way into underground bands. Death Grips is leagues more popular than Swans ever were.
