It’s unironically Taylor Swift. She went from a cute curly haired girl named Taylor to a made up, put on persona called Tylor Swift in the past decade
Joshua Hughes
have you given grimes and james your money yet?
William Gray
be nice to brandon
Anthony Sullivan
lil b
and all the other musicians will agree
Leo Miller
This is probably the case in terms of popularity among most people, unfortunately. In terms of the music world it's pic related if you count mbdtf as this decade.
Angel Jenkins
but he does nothing for me, you're abusing people to put their trust and confidence in him
Henry Mitchell
im staring to think she was put on this planet to take us to a post Nietzsche age
lets all love GRIMES

Charles Harris
grimes understands the human condition
pleb go back to work
Camden Foster
bit pretentious
Michael Myers
I disagree on both fronts but not everyone has to like every artist.
Anyway, for those who do like her music, a friend asked where to start with it.
I suggested Visions, then Art Angels, then backwards from Visions (Darkbloom, Halifaxa, Geidi Primes) if interested. Then waiting for her next album.
Does this seem like a good order?

God i wish i could deck you. This is what happens when delusional pricks don't socialize with other people enough to realize how much of a laughing stock they are. you could really use some experiential education
Gavin Kelly
Nice try OP
Gabriel Wood
it depends on that person's taste. if s/he likes:
- energetic pop: art angels
- electronic: visions or darkbloom
- dreampop: halfaxa
- weird exprimental stuff/folk: geidi primes.

She is a very divisive figure on Sup Forums. There is no consensus. Stop trying to find one.

Her biggest hit is Genesis and it has almost 50 (fifty!) million views on Youtube. Compare that to:
Joni Mitchell: Both Sides Now (Live, 1970) - about 5 million views

Kate Bush: Wuthering Heights - about 27 million views

Grimes is hardly a literal who. One song of her has more views than the biggest hits of Joni Mitchell, Bjork, Tori Amos, PJ Harvey COMBINED.

I totally see your point. I was approaching it as “Who is THE icon?” Kanye is more or less the Dre of the decade
Joseph Cruz
Kanye, and it's not even fucking close
>huge celebrity across media
>constantly in the news for all kinds of shit
>drops some of the most popular albums of the decade

If any of you unironically think grimes is the most influential artist of the decade it's time to take a shower get, go outside and get off Sup Forums

it's not a primative urge. i want to hit you because it would help you
Nolan Ward

Whether you waifu fags like it or not Kendrick Lamar is definitely the most iconic artist of the decade.

Grimes!
>why
Grimes is the logical progression on the timeline of history straight from Renaissance to modernity. She is the second coming of Lady Mary herself, prophet from the Gods after Jesus and Mohammad. Her music comes from the heavens, righteous flow of pure, undistilled inspiration.
You look at Grimes and you see EVERYTHING you need to see, experience everything you need to experience, appreciate everything you need to appreciate, when it comes to creativity, arts, style, fashion and music. There haven't been anybody like her, there will NEVER be anybody like her. People will be speaking of her for centuries, because she brought everything needed to capture about pop culture, all the GOOD without any of the bad.
There are MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of young girls all over this huge fucking ass planet right now who are copying her every single move, her mannerisms, anime personality, style, music, her attitude. She guides all the lost lambs with her soothing voice and her synths. Female version of David Bowie has arrived and here to stay. Think about it. She does everything herself - cover art, music production, mastering, video directing, concept design, singing, instruments, and even has enough in her left to produce music for other artists out there. She doesn't even do drugs anymore, thus she's not in a haze or sluggish but has overflowing energy that sets her out to be at her peak productivity.
Fuck Katy Perry or all these minor pretentious "gamer gurl" hipster types like Zooey Dechanel except singing, and fuck the Lauren Southerns or what else people bow down to as their muses. Fuck that shit. Only one you need, only one ANYBODY really needs, is the One and Only truly skilled, able and inspired Artist put to this world to take all the styles and attitudes created by modernity, the achievements in pop, rock and rap, to combine them together to be the Ambassador of Art that we all need though don't really deserve.
Behold - Grimesy :3

HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...wew lad..that's some mighty prime pasta
Female version of David Bowie minus the fantastic music, the album sales, the slew of movies that he acted in, the millions of fans that he played to in concerts over the decades. Yeah...Grimy Clair could not even be the female version of David Bowie in two of her lifetimes.
She and you should do the planet a favor and end it all right now.

Iconic generally implies house hold name not goddess of a niche group of autists

iconic:
>a person or thing regarded as a representative symbol of something.
Musicians who stick out as individuals are iconic. Popularity has nothing to do with it.
Benjamin Turner

Lincoln Smith
That order worked for me
I’m pretty sure she’s kinda mainstream now, I wore a grimes shirt to class and a guy from my law school commented on how he likes grimes too
Isaiah Young
Somehow a grimesfaggot autist stopped masturbating to Claire's jpegs long enough to shitpost elsewhere.
When will you accept reality and understand that nowhere in this realm or any other will your ugly slacker waifu milk your dicklet for your genetically deficient seed.
Now slither back to your mommy's basement for your next hand date with Grimy's attention-whore photos.
Carson Brooks
Grimes doesn't stick out well enough to be known in any musical sub culture that I know of let alone the main stream. Sticking out as a musician should be more about influence to other musicians and building the art form not refusing to bathe
Alexander Davis
Not the most satisfactory answer, but it really is either Kanye, Drake, Taylor Swift, Adele or Kendrick in terms of what most people know.
Off the top of my head, i guess in the underground it probably would be DG i guess.
John Bennett
If she bathes once a year it still counts as a bath right?
But mostly, we accept her as the Mediocre Unwashed
Caleb Rivera
Les claypool in my opinion is hands down most iconic. he built the art form, broke the norm with the traditional band setup and is involved in many bands with completely different sound featuring some of the most talented musicians of all time including buckethead, trey anastasios, Stewart Coplan, and Sean Lennon. He constantly has important messages and brings up old artists that inspired him and gives them credit where it was due. He also furthers music sub culture which is important otherwise we are all stuck listening to mainstream nickelback shit. Not to mention his complete and utter mastery of his instrument playing it in a way that is unique for millions of people that play bass and delivers completely unique vocals.
Colonel claypool has my vote
Charles Martin
No disputes? Then it's settled
Ian Clark

Adam Collins
If Claire Boucher does not release an album this year, I WILL be obligated to be very RUDE to her.
Aiden Moore
daily reminder grimes missed her chance. Every day she gets closer to 30 and pop does not like old women. The music industry even got her on the suicide squad soundtrack and she couldn't break through. Hot shrieking garbage.
Jackson Miller
even as a Grimes stan I wouldn't say most influential/iconic (that's almost certainly yeezus) but she has produced some of the straight-up best music of the decade
Aaron Perez
probably would've helped if she had been on the soundtrack for a decent movie
Wyatt Harris
The movie was shit but normies fucking loved it.
Some songs on visions were really enjoyable, but none of it is original. She literally just sucks on the tit of 80's tropes.
Angel Robinson
Shit, so do most popular artists of the decade. No one outside of hip hop and some electronic artists is doing much of anything you can't directly trace back to earlier influences
Jeremiah Lewis
...
Brody Hughes
Raise your standards.
Asher Watson
The question is why the fuck did Grimes ever get a chance in the first place? She's not good, she's not "good" by pop standards either, so where did this shit come from? I feel like this is some hype beast stuff, like something that only has value to people because they perceive that it has value to others. Maybe it was a clever con but like the total lack of merit is concerning.
Easton Morgan
I defy anyone to link to a single song by Grimes that isn't objectively bad.
Noah Scott
nme thought viva brother was the second coming of britpop, fuck those degenerates
Benjamin Lee
Grimes doesn't have any bad songs
