Grimes/Claire Boucher thread

hoo boy

Are these a different kind of overly-intense Grimes fans than the ones who I fantasized about mailing Durian to the 4AD offices a few months ago, or the same?

This is the logical culmination of Art Angels.

this is the logical culmination of capitalism

pomenitul otm, the handwringing here is ridiculous. if grimes was ever your anticapitalist figurehead you were doing anticapitalism wrong

Who's hand-wringing? You don't need to have previously idealized someone (I didn't) to recognize that they're currently a piece of shit

is grimes... cancelled?

“humans with differing views on economics often hang out”

Hushed narrator: Grimes doesn’t realize that we’ve secretly switched her regular coffee with modern Twitter, where strangers will @ others and call them walking garbage over small differences in p.o.v.

The dead c. :scrolls:

More laughing at the contradictions of this absurd situation than hand-wringing at this point.

remember when the dismemberment plan guy started blogging in favor of the iraq war?

that was funny but this is funnier imo

Is that why Pitchfork gave his album a 0?

There was a post in some other thread where it was explained that nowadays it’s not the concept of “selling out” which irks the audience but betraying your self-imposed brand. Grimes without giving it much thought described herself as an anti-imperialist before and now she’s dating what Forbes deems as the most valuable, CEO billionaire in the world. So she’s rightfully being called on for it.

She’s 30 now, the naive, immature cutey brand she had is getting closer to annoying, woman-child. Age is the difference between cool, edgy teen and courtney love.

leave courtney out of this

Sorry. You’re right it’s abad comparison she’s closer to crazy fairy lady than junkie trainwreck.

it wasn't just the "anti-imperialist" bit in her bio, she tweeted fairly regularly about environmental issues, elections, legislation, protests, etc. if anything i'm shocked that she doesn't realize how bad **the optics** are here.

omg moka leave courtney alone

Hahaha ok sorry. I’ll just roast grimes from now on.

I can't tell any more who is genuinely outraged about all this and who is just ironically outraged

It’s like were in the 90’s all over again.

We’re

eh it's the end of the world and everyone's bored
fuck grimes!!!!!

grimes=burzum

I can't tell any more who is genuinely outraged about all this and who is just ironically outraged

this is an indicator that it's time to listen to sonic youth

this is worse than madonna dating a-rod

madonna was dating a-rod??

this is at least as bad as the time Kate Bush talked about Theresa May and became a "Tory" and even worse than when David Bowie was a Nazi.

don't know why the scare quotes, she is a tory

who is that whiney

i know nothing about her other than that she didn't pay her musicians on some tour and a lot of people were angry, but it's hosted on blog.amandapalmer.net so i assume that's her

oh lol

just gonna go ahead and say it

grimes was a very typical vancouverite (looks, attitude, and everything) who still never fully realized til she moved to a big city (hello los angeles) her anti-establishment/radical socialist ideas have no place in the modern world -- it's vancouver's and mayor gregor robertson's "greenest city"/vision vancouver ploy

now she doesn't really want to handle the consequences of her ideas if she goes through with them from a practical conclusion/view

lot to chew on there, much like a bucket of gristle

throbbing

pound for pound champion of shitposting now that gabbneb has been banned.

^ radical lefty living in vancouver

The real controversy will begin when Grimes starts supporting the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion.

yes, if i moved to LA i would suddenly become enlightened lol xp. way to make sense

jim will you bang red or blue do you think?

I was hoping you’d say Montreal is responsible for her thoroughly unrealistic and unmodern politics. My disappointment knows no bounds; has Vancouver upended us?

jim

like it's your problem if you misread what i say on purpose bud

is it all the time you spend in traffic that gives you necessary time to contemplate political issues and arrive at a conservative position?

it has pom

to a radical leftist everyone to his right is a conservative

you post weird racial sciencey and MRAlike shit dude you're not a liberal

lol mra

i know nothing of mra except what you guys talk about on these threads

I, too, believe unions are unmodern and unrealistic. No wonder Europeans are so fond of them, stuck as they are in the Old World.

while this whole thing is still so bizarre, it's not that surprising looking back 6 years ago when she was doing interviews for Visions and when journalists would ask her about her influences she'd say Mariah Carey, all these pop stars, instead of idk, Cabaret Voltaire or Warm Leatherette or something. that was shocking to me at the time. makes sense that she'd want to jump from 4AD to Columbia or something. and the idea that artists have to be "good people" or have "good politics" for one to be able to enjoy their work is absurd, art is not about the morality of the artist. will we get love songs written about/for elon musk? yes. will it matter if they bang like Oblivion or REALiTi or Flesh without Blood? No
