Grimes/Claire Boucher thread

*Grimezsz

She was trying to goad people into the exact reaction she’s been getting. That is the textbook definition of what trolling is. A lot of you spend way too much time on the internet for this to be hard to understand.

gorillaz is music for babies!

hi chaki!

what, you stole Grimes's copy of "Gorillaz"?

No, they just both have scrawly handwriting for their logos and I was briefly confused.

Well then good sir, I entreat you to a game of peek-a-boo because I am a baby.

where'd you go!?!?!

i was just kidding, Grimes doesn't believe in private property

This whole event is pretty representative of her thing. Pure gesture followed by unneeded rationalization for the ppl probably talking shit

all we have learned is that she treats marxism as lulz, maybe she's aiming to get a spot on red scare.

What percentage of people online virtue signal with Marx daily. I’d say it’s a pretty high number

Like as a percentage of the people talking about Marx overall, I mean

the Marx marks fell for it

new song with dj chris lake

it's not very good but it does have a ridiculous concept attached - NPC is an "AI girl group".

Members are infinite in number and can be voted in or out, except for core members such as the baby Warnymph. NPC are a vehicle for experimentation in new technologies as they become available such as generative characters and music, diff types of animation, ai assisted art as well as spiritual technology in that Grimes can create as other people in order to reduce the psychic pain of being in the public eye. NPC will hone the concepts of Art Angels and Miss Anthropocene, finally manifesting the endless characters in Grimes’ head. NPC can do all the things humans cannot. NPC will eventually be playable, customizable, and able to cater to each individual listener’s unique desires. Decentralized Popstardom. Made, not Born

new single co-produced by illangelo, it's ok. production is a big step in the right direction but the melody is pretty underwritten, the opposite problem of the last album

album seems to be titled book 1

seems like she's said a lot of goofy stuff on tiktok too of course

"player of games" totally excellent

I guess we've all decided to ignore this new Vanity Fair cover article. Probably wise.

Exa Dark Sideræl Musk Is a great name, although maybe for a teenager rather than an infant

lmao ok then: https://pagesix.com/2022/03/11/grimes-dating-leaker-chelsea-manning-after-elon-musk-breakup/?utm_campaign=iphone_nyp&utm_source=twitter_app

this new soap opera is wild

Actually would watch that sitcom: Chelsea Manning and Grimes as the couple, Elon Musk as the ex who comes over to play with the kids.

I was gonna say we should all take a 2 year moratorium from ever hearing about this woman but Chelsea Manning wow

with billionaire celebrity guest every episode xp

*holding my newborn child in my arms* "you are the Kwisatz Haderach!"

"player of games" totally excellent

"Player of Games" being yr favorite Culture novel is a red-flag imho

Mostly cuz I know it's Musk's

chaotic hoe energy

"leaker" - can't we keep her medical problems out of this?

i probably would have been a huge grimes fan if she had just skipped musk and gone straight for manning. as it is idk, kind of seems like there was this trump era thing where hard-right conservatism was suddenly cool among celebs. hard to look past the people who associated themselves with it.

horribly phrased but ykwim

is grimes "dirtbag left" now

also i hope jaime brooks is doing well

I will always love grimes. Remember that song “vanessa”?

I still like Grimes’s music when I hear her music by accident but I no longer have any desire to put that music on, she’s just vile.

could be worse, she could decide to attend h1llsong church after this

dude spoilers

could be worse, they're a solid restaurant group.

don't think grimes' politics are or have ever been 'hard-right conservatism', they've always just been incoherent techno-libertarianism. dating & defending musk wasn't really some big shift for her, just exposed exactly how incoherent her views were and made the progressive sheen fall off.

she really needs to stop talking to the media though

she describes herself as a capitalist democrat in the vanity fair interview so no

there’s a thing that can happen to your brain if you spend too many formative years in “free-thinking” communities in relatively socially liberal places that have academic/arts scenes imo

it used to be more of a hippie libertarian brain thing but it’s definitely evolved to techno-libertarianish crap

https://hackingbutlegal.com/grimes-admits-to-blackmail-extortion-and-hacking-in-vanity-fair-video-interview-a1e3a3d41a4e

uh she really should not have admitted to this lmao

video link

oh the embedder doesn't like youtube's new clips feature yet

admitting to being behind ddosing & blackmailing hipster runoff in 2012 seems very unwise even for her

Well, we can definitely tack that on the end of that "Grimes oversharing" youtube comp.

teehee

Wow that is crazy

idk how HR was “cancelling” grimes in as much as the site had an ironic gossipy tone? this seems insanely ahistorical to apply that terminology

Hipster Runoff was making fun of grimes

is making fun of someone cancelling them

In a way that could be gross and sexist in the infuriating ironic way people hated about “hipsters” (is he skewering sexist tropes or just bluntly using them?)

The site had flashes of genius though. “Carles” was a pretty amazing literary creation

No i am agreeing with you
