Would anyone care to explain what exactly makes Death Grips 'memey'?

Would anyone care to explain what exactly makes Death Grips 'memey'? I see a lot of people complain about how memey their music tends to be but I don't really understand what they mean by that.

What other artists/bands do you consider to be memey?

It's just an excuse to use when you find out Death Grips isn't accessible enough for you to enjoy genuinely

>tfw some Death Grips songs are already TOO accessible for me to enjoy

RIP Takyon, Guillotine and I've Seen Footage

That's kinda what I was thinking. I guess I could also see how a lot of their more quotable or silly lyrics could be interpreted as memes.

I know right? Once you really get into Death Grips it ends up sounding like top 40 music.

Captain Beefheart
Kanye West

>Too accessible to enjoy
if you dont like the songs fair enough but "too accessible" being the reason for not liking a song, wtf
>>
>>63407847
In the same way Old Boots, New Dirt is a meme, although a little different. obnd is legit a bad album that this board pretends is some sort of next level shit for the hell of it. Death Grips is also discussed as being next level shit. Even though I agree that it is, upon first listen some people could probably get confused/not like them, hence labeling them as a meme in the same way.

Takyon is so fucking fine tuned but you don't realize it at first

>>63407958
Stupid as fuck right? Since when does the internet not like memes.

It's meant to mean that people are only pretending to like them for the lols.

They have some of the stupidest lyrics I've ever heard. Plus MC Ride looks like a meme.
