>be a group of introverted but insanely creative dudes
>fans reduce you to a bunch of memes and try to invade your personal life
is there any musical group more tragic?
They reduced themselves to memes. They're known /mu/tants, they even leaked Jenny Death here.
memes were never not part of the plan

in what way did they reduce themselves to memes?
i wouldn't think that leaking jenny death to /mu/ would equate to them being /mu/tants, if they wanted JD to leak and spread well 4chan would just be the best place to put it
>>63419446
ironic..
>>63419446
>insanely creative
lol
>>63419503
they post on here
made meme tshirts
meme music videos
they're self aware and are doing it as a job now. Zach can't find ppl to help fund his shitty movie.Andy spends a shit ton on his stupid gadgets
DG is their cash cow man. they like being memes
>>63419576
Wow. This is what 4chan does to the mind, people. Be warned.
>>63419576
Jesus christ. Since when is art a meme? This meme shit has got to stop. Its like everything creative or bizarre is now a meme.

>>63419712
why'd you think they pretended to disband? why'd you think they title a new album "Interview"?
>>63419488
>they leaked Jenny Death here
This did not happen newfag, I was on every day during JDW.
>>63419954
the album isn't called interview though
>>63419954
you have literally no idea what you're talking about
>>63419712
It's creative, strong memorable art, so it's trendy, so it's memetic
it is important to differentiate DGs memeticness from bad memeticness.
Bad memetics = artificial, carefully engineered memes based on previous memetics research date that become dated as soon as they're out of the oven
natural memetics = Stefan Burnetts catchy, poetic and timeless lyrics
>>63419712
death grips are a meme band.
>>63419995
ebin.
they're a meme band by choice
>>63420006
would it be accurate to compare them to talking heads
daily reminder this is when dg jumped the shark

>>63420038
talkings heads is 50x better than dg do not insult them
>>63419446
>is there any musical group more tragic?
Joy Division
>>63419712
I'm starting to lose sight of what 'meme' even means any more
>>63420066
or in fact any group that is tragic in any way
>>63420013
What does that even mean? If 'meme band' just means 'popular band' then it's a totally empty and pointless term
>>63420069
it means nothing now. mainstream/netstream has ruined it
>>63419446
You take music too seriously son.
>>63420063
Fuck off pleb
you never listened Death Grips, you just wanted to be seen listening to them
Buddy Holly & the Crickets

>>63420075
dg is no longer making serious music. like they described here http://www.clashmusic.com/feature/death-grips-x-alec-empire
or in the 1min interview of abbt turning a negative into a positive.
everything now is just shitty gimmicks so they don't have to get retail jobs again.
>>63420069
In case you didn't realise /mu/ culture is driven by nonsensical contradictions. If a band is popular, they're a meme because they're spammed. If they're obscure, they're a meme because it's poser core. Meme meme meme meme meme.
>>63419446

>>63420149
