Grimes/Claire Boucher thread

Nerds @ing grimes to mansplain that she shouldn’t be attracted to her bf are beyond embarrassing - BEYOND beyond embarrassing - but also like, ppl make fun of ppl’s dumb Twitter opinions all the time? That’s kinda what Twitter is? And grimes correct me if I’m wrong is a twitter musician? dgmw I think those wounded by this are deranged but pretty much any celeb gobshite talking up Elton musk would get at least some of this flak (although by no means the greater part of it obv, this is mostly about creepy overidentification going sour)

this thread is so gross

xxp there are some Grimes fans who feel betrayed by all this for sure, but I always thought a big part of Grimes 'brand' was being the subject of memes and meta-humour by the Very Online, and the Musk thing just consolidates that if anything? (Musk is obviously also one of the significant 'characters' in Very Online memes and meta-humour which is why I think ppl are finding all of this so funny, like the divisions between funny tweets where and reality are breaking down?)

Soref otm it’s not grimes who misunderstands her brand here ...

Tho she does misunderstand twitter

Lmfao @ Elton Musk

Real talk I’ve long insisted on calling him elton musk, to the point that when I came up with my excellent sn I nearly published it as “eltonio” (which actually works a lot better) before I remembered that was based on the joke name I gave him & not his actual name

Her brand will survive she'll be fine.

the brands, the brands, won't somebody think of the brands!

I want someone to do a 2018 version of Guy Peellaert's Rock Dreams with ppl twitter is obsessed with: Grimes, Elon Musk, Jordan Peterson, the prison planet guy etc

fuck. i tried doing that before. anyway Elton Musk says "So heavy I fell thru the earth" is about to come out. https://www.reddit.com/r/Grimes/comments/8li9pc/wanna_fall_through_the_earth/

this thread triggered Elton so much he's starting Pravda

She needs to release something soon so we can finally decide if Grimes is over.

she needs to release a demo, followed months later by a studio cut, then we can extend the thread by a thousand more posts.

if we're going to figure this out, we should continue to hype this entire mess to completely disproportionate levels so that the story starts to spill into the mainstream just as the new single lands

welcome to realiti!

tbf this is a good career move for her, generates controversy/attention, and sets her up for a big redemption act when they inevitably break up

(full disclosure I give no shits about her music/career and am only dimly aware of her/don't care)

Lads.

Just heard Realiti demo and it reminded me how great it is... so that’s a free of sin pass for me. I’ll ignore her response tweets all is forgiven c, peace.

I don’t want him to turn her into a bond villain like him.

She's a 30yo, grown woman. She is well past the point of needing help being a shitty person. Why not just go full misogny and say she's been dickmatized?

somebody stop this thread

lmao at Slappy being mad that this thread isn't misogynist enough to get performatively angry about. "c'mon guys! i can defend grimes too! just, gimme something to work with here."

"you don't have to call her names or anything. i'd take some mild slut-shaming, or even body-shaming in a pinch. i'm jonesing real bad here."

Doing your part to keep this hot, hot thread a hot, hot mess. Well done!

LEAVE GRITNEY ALONE

Hahaha this thread is hilarious

We should start a new thread once new music actually starts dropping.

this'll just happen again

well there's a teaser for new music she's involved in so that's something that's less of a trainwreck to discuss

i wonder how ilx would react if sting and elon musk started dating?

Do the Teslas love their children too?

Lock thread.

I, for one, am quite looking forward to the inevitable Kanye/Grimes collab: REALiTi Scoop

I bet it will lift yourself out of oblivion

i would love to https://t.co/viQbccrE9Y

dude! please can we hang 🎶🎶🎶🎶

my brain is dying.

...tbh she might be a horrible person but I find AZB's music on average way more enjoyable than Grimes'

same

She’s surrounding herself with some good company lately.

maybe we get lucky and this story ends with AZB making a ritual sacrifice out of him

I'm officially convinced everyone involved is a troll out of Henson's creature shop. The latest in AI.

his name was Jim

azb is ridiculous but would love to hear her collab with grimes (if it doesnt lead to ridiculous beef between the two)

so this one is like my ethereal chav jam that’s like ... a cyberpunk interpretation of the bajirao mastani movie (plz watch this incredible film if u haven’t) from mastanis perspective, dunno if it makes sense without the low end. these r just demos bein recorded thru my phone so pic.twitter.com/mdyXQyScj5

well i said i’d post some snippets of new music earlier so this prob sounds terrible thru my phone recording but it’s the cheesy love song i was talking about that i don’t like but everyone else likes, made the instrumental w my new mellotron! pic.twitter.com/KDZLIY8OcF

— Grimes (@Grimezsz) June 5, 2018

Ok, now this is Grimes news I can get behind

fuckit now I have to dismantle my moral outrage because they sound great

warning: this is probably the very worst way in the entire universe to hear snippets of new music from an artist you like

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRl5wi8JCnA

No it could be worse. It could be played on the stereo of Tesla as it is sent out to space.

whoa she has a mellotron... sick
