which is interesting because what sounds we like may differ from the artist's original intent
and in the politically driven and racially driven climate the u.s. is in, it creates this tension on who you should listen to and what it says about you as a person

yes nowhere else in the world or human history have people ever treated art as something social and related to their identity and place of being in the world, this is uniquely because america uniquely has this thing called "politics" you moron, you utter fucking fool.

What about
C) real anti-imperialists who hate musk and are upset at grimes for making a joke of their movement.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Tuesday, 22 May 2018 19:06 (six years ago) link
She’s 30 now, the naive, immature cutey brand she had is getting closer to annoying, woman-child.
which are all legitimate reasons to hate Elon Musk and be upset that Grimes is dating him I suppose. but it's not her politics, it just seems like a total jump the shark moment aesthetically.
Somehow I don't think it's Grimes' ideals that need to be called into question here.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 22 May 2018 19:10 (six years ago) link
You guys are actually reducing an artist's entire aesthetic and belief system down to who she's fucking and acting like it makes you the progressive ones.

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

I think the idea of artists being shaped by their cities is kinda exaggerated, especially in the era of internet/globalisation.

I find Whiney's position mystifying here -- Grimes is actively caping for a union-buster, fuck that, she gets to absorb some heat for that -- but find his Primus clip just delightful so it's a wash

She explicitly defended Musk & Tesla's very dubious business and labor practices on Twitter. Like Joan said, it's an explicit endorsement of politics many of her fans find repulsive.

I mean maybe she invites it by engaging a lot w/her fans online(?); and saying “i’ll address it in my next ama!” is kinda rofl-y – but I dunno how anyone would expect a person to respond to such tweets other than “Nunya beezwax” or a defense of some kind.
