I hate Death Grips. I immediately lose respect for anyone who listens to them, and especially those who praise them. Here's why:
Name 20 successful people that listen to them. Pop basically runs the show when it comes to music. This includes artists like Kanye West, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Zayn Malik, Adele, Katy Perry, Beyonce et al. Pop has artists making significant contributions to the entire music industry.
Death Grips on the other hand pulls most of the heavy weight packaging from teenage angst with each album. They then lay basic synths and a joke of a rapper over it. It generally lags behind pop by a mile or two in inventiveness. I never hear their music in shops or mentioned by anyone over the age of 25.
So tell me again, how exactly do Death Grips innovate? They even struggle to release a new theme with each release, and artwork is about the only original thing with Death Grips.
Yes, Death Grips is stable because they are standing on the shoulders of socially awkward teenagers. Most of the hard work is hashed out before they ever start making "music". This is fine, and what music is all about, but I prefer to be in with the leaders rather than the followers.
What really irks me and what has really brewed my hatred are Death Grips fans. They seem to think Death Grips is responsible for all that is good in the music world. I have just proven how false this is. In my experience, Death Grips fans (virgins, teenagers, and manchildren) are much less helpful than the alternative.
If you want nice pop, listen to Bruno Mars or Taylor Swift. If you like rock, Tame Impala. If you prefer, Drake or Kendrick Lamar. But please, don't feed the idiot magnet that is Death Grips!

Heh... not bad, kid. Not bad at all. Your meme, I mean. It's not bad. A good first attempt. It's plenty dank... I can tell it's got some thought behind it... lots of quotable material...
But memeing isn't all sunshine and rainbows, kid. You're skilled... that much I can tell. But do you have what it takes to be a Memester? To join those esteemed meme ranks? To call yourself a member of the Ruseman's Corps?
Memeing takes talent, that much is true. But more than that it takes heart. The world-class Memesters - I mean the big guys, like Johnny Hammersticks and Billy Kuahana - they're out there day and night, burning the midnight meme-oil, working tirelessly to craft that next big meme.
And you know what, kid? 99 times out of a hundred, that new meme fails. Someone dismisses it as bait, or says it's "tryhard," or ignores it as they copy/paste the latest shitpost copypasta dreamt up by those sorry excuses for cut-rate memers over at reddit. The Meme Game is rough, kid, and I don't just mean the one you just lost :^). It's a rough business, and for every artisan meme you craft in your meme bakery, some cocksucker at 9gag has a picture of a duck or some shit that a million different Johnny No-Names will attach a milion different captions to.
Chin up, kid. Don't get all mopey on me. You've got skill. You've got talent. You just need to show your drive.
See you on the boards...
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

You know this shit is as fake as it gets right? Even porn is more realistic then this pedophilic shitfest. You sit at your computer grabbing your tiny limp prick and wish you had a little loli of your own. You know what? Real kids are nothing like this, they will never beg you to fuck them, they dont run around fucking fat disgusting neckbeards, they wouldn't smile as they get violated, they don't beg for sex or cum, they don't enjoy getting raped. All they do is cry, they cry and scream in pain as some sick fucking shithead destroyes their childhood and scars them for life. And when someone finally finds out (and they will) you will spend your years getting assraped by niggers and wannabe Nazis. You all should feel like worthless human beings for liking this shit.
You all "claim" that this shit is normal but I bet no one in your life knows about it? Whats the matter? If it is ok then why don't you go tell your mother you like masterbating to pictures of kids? How about your dad? Boss? Sister? Its normal so what are you afraid of?
But go ahead, keep masterbating to these cartoons made for pathetic pedos who piss their spiderman underwear at the thought of downloading real CP, so they have to get off to this shit and you are feeding their sick fantasies.
That's what I thought. Grow up and quit being so worthless.
Here's the thing about Freddie. The man had some serious pipes. He had a 4 octave range and he excelled in any octave. He wrote brilliant songs. And his stage presence was only matched by Adolf Hitler. Seriously, watch them play Radio Gaga at Live Aid and then watch a video of the Nuremburg rallies. We had better thank our lucky stars Freddie didn't go into politics or he would have taken over the world. But Queen as a whole had a brilliant dynamic. It wasn't just the Freddie Mercury backup band. They all made huge creative contributions to what made Queen what it is. Yes, Freddie wrore Somebody to Love, Killer Queen, and Bohemian Rhapsody, but Brian May wrote We Will Rock You, Save Me, and Fat Bottom Girls, John Deacon wrote I Want to Break Free, Another One Bites the Dust, and You're my Best Friend, and Roger Taylor wrote Radio Gaga and It's a Kind of Magic. Other bands like Nirvana for instance were not like that. Nirvana was basically just the Kurt Cobain backup band. Queen was this perfect storm of legendary talent, and Freddie was the face of it all, the delicious cherry on top of an already delicious sundae. He was the ambassador that allowed the amazing talent of combo that was Queen to be brought into our lives. He was the prism that focused the lazer beams from the brains of Roger, Brian, and John, and amplified them until they were powerful enough to blow our minds out through our ear holes. Yes, he was the most incredible front man who ever lived, hands down.
thank you for the copypasta
when I was 13, I tied up this girl that was 12 with a jumprope, then beat the fuck out of her.
By the time I was done, her lip was split, her wrists were bleeding from the rope cuttin into them, one of her eyes was swollen shut, she was missing two teeth, her small tits will entirely black and blue, her pussy was bleeding, and I’m fairly sure that several bones in her feet were broken.
When I let her down, she crumpled on the floor and went into a fetal position and just hugged her legs to her chest and sobbed quietly.
I suddenly got very aroused seeing that, so I pulled out my dick (I has actally hit puberty 12, and was hairy, balls dropped and everything functioning) and started jerking off quietly. Eventually, I started to breathe harder, and she noticed what I was doing, and she just looked at me with this look of absolute horror on her face.
It was at that moment that I climaxed and sprayed probably my biggest load of cum ever all over face and chest.
Then, I picked up her torn shirt from the ground, wiped off my dick and tossed it to her.
I told her to clean herself up and that if she ever told anyone, I would go to her house and kill her while she slept, and that if anyone asked who hurt her, she should say a bunch of highschool kids did it.
When I think back on it, I think she was the first girl I ever loved.

Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and Against All Odds. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word 'artist'.

The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worthy of being saved.

The amount of effort you put into this low-quality bait is shameful.
Mc Ride sounds like he is imitating mentally challenged people when he raps. Like in a "make fun of retards" way.
Seems offensive.
You know want to know something? You are completely full of shit.
Pop stars are innovative? PLEASE. They are pawns for the people in charge (aka the government) they don't innovate. I bet you think that if something is popular, it has to be good, right? It's all bullshit, the whole industry. You can't do shit if you are not conventionally attractive, have opinions that are against the norm, can't do anything the doesn't fall in line with the conspiracy being put forth. This poptimism shit is for sheep, and pal, you sound like one.
Death grips aren't innovative? YOU tell ME what you consider innovative. Looping vocals over a cheap beat? "Deep" lyrics about getting high and feeling sad cause dad didn't let you take the car to the popular kids house party? Sining about how "hard" it is to be you? if anything you sound like the teenager here. Are you even old enough to post?
If you think Death Grips is being held up by teenagers, I suggest you do some fucking research. They are critically lauded by old and young alike, bring new sounds to the table with every album, and are going to be remembered for a long time. Pop stars are MARKETED for the teenage demographic, everything they do is to appeal to naive teens.
If you think death grips fans are bad, take a little stroll through every poptimism thread, every popular singstress thread, any K-Pop thread. It's filled to the brim with "lol I wwant o fuck her" "She's my waifu" "ew you listen to her? I wouldn't fuck her she sucks now"
Death Grips haters are the actual cancer killing mu. They don't even try to understand anything outside of the norm, they try to stifle discussion with memes, and they make posts like you do, OP. I suggest you take a fucking minute to research ANYTHING you are talking about, and then come back and apologize for shitposting and acting like a shill.

Now I like you, /mu/. And I look forward to our time together. But you have to understand, music discussion and humor isn't all that I want. From here on, starting now, I want my pastas to be credited by you guys with links to my ironic facebook meme page. Our name is /mu/ Funposting LLC, a professional OC-creating service. That's how it should be read and that's how it should be posted. I also want to go to the next death grips concert and meet you guys, your girlfriends (implying), your parents, and your managers, and start developing my own personal relationships. I'd like to start meeting them tomorrow morning. You'll take me around, you'll introduce me as the owner and president of /mu/ Funposting LLC, and remind them of some of my many other forced memes. I'm not done. I also want to stop our discussion over prices and the insults towards my mother. This will save time. So when I say that a particular number is my lowest price, that's my lowest price and you can be assured that I arrived at whatever that number is very carefully. Now, when I say that I want these things, I mean that I want them and I don't want to have to ask again. And the last thing that I want mew, is for you to do the things that I ask you to do when we're alone together in 3x3 threads, NOT LIKE THE LAST TIME. So, I'll tell you what. I have a planned shitpost for tonight. A couple actually. That could lead by itself on an average night. And I'd be willing to throw that in for free. So what do you say, do we have a deal?

MY SIDES
David Bowie turned marketing into the essence of his art. All great phenomena of popular music, from Elvis Presley to the Beatles, had been, first and foremost, marketing phenomena (just like Coca Cola and Barbie before them); however, Bowie turned that into an art of its own. With Bowie the science of marketing becomes art; art and marketing become one. There were intellectuals who had proclaimed this theory in rebellious terms. Bowie was, in many ways, the heir, no matter how perverted, of Andy Warhol's pop art and of the underground culture of the 1960s. He adopted some of the most blaspheme issues and turned them upside down to make them precisely what they had been designed to fight: a commodity.
Kate Bush was certainly an influential and intelligent figure, but was also a typical compromise of the 1970s, only half-heartedly experimental, continuously flirting with the pop charts. She helped redefine the singer-songwriter in the era of the new wave, but then the new wave had already made that figure obsolete. Her main contributions were in the vocal department: a four-octave range that mauled folk, opera and world-music, often in a shrill register halfway between a childish scream and a soprano howl. Her arrangements were not as revolutionary as advertised, borrowing as they did from Joni Mitchell and Peter Gabriel, but they did introduce electronics into a folk-rock format and crafted claustrophobic atmospheres. Kick Inside (1978), a terrifying personal diary, and The Dreaming (1982), the ultimate testament of her eccentric, lush, futuristic sound, represent the two poles of her work. The Freudian travelogue of Hounds Of Love (1985), fueled by even denser orchestration, ended twenty years later with the philosophical meditation of Aerial (2005), mostly hushed by intimate chamber textures.
Why do people bait? Serious question.

A fallacious appeal to authority. Even if you did have any clue who does and doesn't listen to DG, it wouldn't support your argument.
>Pop basically runs the show when it comes to music
Fallacious appeal to popularity. You would have to convince us of why an artist's commercial success should factor into whether or not we like them.
>Pop has artists making significant contributions to the entire music industry.
What contributions do they make? Does the "entire music industry" include underground noise and drone and shit like that? How do pop artists contribute to those bands?
>They then lay basic synths and a joke of a rapper over it.
The first point is demonstrably false insofar as they also use drums, samples, guitars, and more. The second point is subjective.
>So tell me again, how exactly do Death Grips innovate?
Who cares whether or not music is "innovative"? Shouldn't you simply want it to be good?
>If you want nice pop, listen to Bruno Mars or Taylor Swift. If you like rock, Tame Impala. If you prefer, Drake or Kendrick Lamar. But please, don't feed the idiot magnet that is Death Grips!
Since DG is essentially a noise/punk band, none of these artists are a remotely acceptable substitute.
