Is Grimes overrated?
absolutely. she has done absolutely nothing interesting or original. she is just waifubait for autists.
>>63546234
/thread
>>63546194
Serious question
Would you "fuck" Grimes?
>>63546194
Not at all. Grimes is rightly rated by critics but underrated on /mu/. Many think she's just a meme, when she's actually an awesome musician.
>>63546194
Everything that is too popular is generally overrated, and I don't mean "fuck mainstream" overrated, I mean the market is full of singers, producers and composers, and a lot are equal, or better (which ain't too hard if you ask me).
>>63546234
That's why folks discuss her, right. Fuck off.
>>63546269
oh fuck now he's stimming
just another “omg so original“ pop fraud that became succesful way too young and will vanish in no time. nothing new, happens a lot.
Serious answer: Yes.
>>63546194
To be honest, no she isn't
To be dishonest, yes
>>63546269
here we go here comes the angry wifus, people don't discuss her. every grime's thread i've peaked into it's just people sharing and requesting rare pictures of her.
>>63546194
>>63546251
Okay, literally what does she do besides contribute frail "artsy" vocals to produced beats which she has no hand in creating?
Have you seen her live? She relys on backupdancers and luridness to carry her awful performance abilities. She's just a wispy voice with little musical sense
>>63546194
Yes.
>>63546194
I don't know anon, how do you determine how high grimes is rated and how do you determine how high she should be rated? Doesn't it just come down to if I don't like her as much as the communis opinio suggests that she's overrated? If that's the case doesn't the word overrated imply something completely different than what we'd be discussing if we'd discuss whether grimes is overrated or not? Whatever the case is, I personally think that she's fucking shit. Literally. I think that her music is just some recording of her fucking shit. Her music is figuratively shit.
idk but has she ever acknowledged how ugly she is
wowee yuck
>>63546587
>Okay, literally what does she do besides contribute frail "artsy" vocals to produced beats which she has no hand in creating?
You know shit about Grimes. She sings, write lyrics, compose all her songs, produce everything (even the beats) and make her own artwork. Unlike a shitposter like you.
>>63546683
You are literally shit. A bag of shit in human form.
>all this grimes hate
this is what happens when you loser waifu faggots spam your shit all over the board
>>63546722
This is a good thing. What do you have against hate?
>>63546722
shes definitely not overrated, but not underrated at all. shes in her right place in the industry I think.
her music isnt bad. some tracks are terrible. she's very middle ground, just like her looks. exotic yet average.
>>63546698
it's still all garbage though don't forget. the only attention its gotten is when she cries about how hard it is to be an ugly woman
>>63546194
no shes my manic pixie gf
shes underrated desu
>>63546718
Could've been worse. I could've been the bag of shit grimes uses to produce her music.
>>63546251
theres nothing new or special in her music. you are just a blind waifutard
Absolutely one of the most overrated musicians of the 21st century. She is female, quirky, not attractive but also not hideous, and listens to Aphex Twin. Maybe this is why a very vocal part of /mu/ likes her. "Be a Body" is a dank track though.
Grimes is the most disgusting girl on the planet, and god damn her music is boring and horrible.
>>63546194
how such an unhealthy looking girl can be anyones waifu is beyond me....
>>63546683
Art Angels is the highest rated album on metacritic in 2015.
>>63546833
Hey stupidfuck, don't put equal sign between liking a female artist's music and waifutard. If she's nothing new or special, where are the similar artists?
>>63546767
i'm trying to talk some sense into these faggots so they can stop their spam
>>63546885
And yet, look at this thread. A bunch of douchebags pissing on her music.
>>63546904
>where are the similar artists?
any synthpop shit ever
No
but in /mu/: Yes.
She's alright but I really don't get why everyone worships her here..
>>63546885
metacritic is filled with wifu's and weebs do you really expect me to think they have a valid opnion?
>>63546885
it's not even top 10 retard
2/10 for making me look
>>63546970
It is. Look again.
>>63547142
no i already looked
you're a faggot
>>63546194
Nope. She's one of the most talented musicians of our time.
>>63546194
yes t b h
LITERALLY THE KATE BUSH OF OUR ERA
>>63546950
Good joke. I bet you barely listened to 3-4 synthpop tracks if you said that shit.
>>63547295
Kate Bush is talented. Actually Grimes is a fan of Kate Bush.
>>63546885
It's at #11. Very good place considering that ahead of AA there are 4 other albums with the same rating (88): http://www.metacritic.com/browse/albums/score/metascore/year/filtered?sort=desc&year_selected=2015
>>63546966
Metacritic is just an aggregator. Average ratings based on the major reviews.
>>63547416
>Kate Bush is talented.
So it's Grimes.
cutest nose ever?
>>63547571
Largest nose ever.
s-stop making fun of grimes' appearance
I'm a guy and kind of look like her ;_;
>>63547602
Don't worry anon, the look is probably working for you.
>>63547634
kek'd
nod really, 3,3 is really average.
Also nobody would deny that she is just ripping bjork/kbush/yoko kanno off
>>63547791

Haha wow almost got me
>>63547791
>Also nobody would deny that she is just ripping bjork/kbush/yoko kanno off
lol, are those all the female artists you know?
>>63547791
mind explaining how Grimes is just a ripoff of those artists? any specific examples?
>>63546194
She seems as close to accurately rated as an artist could be once you adjust for irrational hatred and obvious marketing on sites like Pitchfork. Here RYM scores seem fair outside of Art Angels.
Yes, Art Angels and Oblivion are great though.

>>63548339

>>63547791
Like RYM is the bible of music. That place is filled with elitist fucks with shit taste in music.
>>63547791
>Also nobody would deny that she is just ripping bjork/kbush/yoko kanno off
I deny that. Tell me one bjork/kbush/yoko kanno that sounds like Grimes. Examples, not bullshitting.
>>63546194
the parallels are unnerving
>>63547919
RYM is the biggest hangout for p4k drones you silly little pleb
>Doesn't shave body hair because of weird reasons
>Now wants to shave because she says she has a right to, doesn't want people to tell her she can't shave now... what?
>Everything said about the story behind Kill V Maim
She tries too hard to be edgy and cool, and contrarian for the sake of it, to the point where she intentionally lets herself look like fucking garbage and has bad hygiene despite wanting to be noticed as an artist.
She has a few good tracks but overall she's just not good. Her live performances are also unorganized and very bad.
>>63548079
wow this is embarrassing
>>63548079
Grimes never claimed that she's a great performer, she more like a producer. Anyway, she improved a lot since 2012 as you can see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksunBqO3v84
she has made some of the best pop songs of the decade
so no
>>63547571
i like it its one of her best features desu
>>63548749
Your post is bad and innacurate. Her hygiene is not your fucking business. Her performances are very good and entertaining. Also she has way more good songs than just few.
>>63548927
No I can't see. She's still terrible.
GRIMES RARITIES: >>63546128
>>63548994
lol you've made my day I haven't laughed that hard in ages.
>>63549018
Listen to the original and to that clip. You can't deny how close they are. Her singing is very good.
>>63549074
stop bulllying people
>>63549074
That picture is not accurate too (photoshopped).
<-- the original
>>63549134
I can't see any difference between the two pics.
>>63549074
>>63549134
what's the difference? the top one is just zoomed in
>>63549159
>>63549177
Look closer or change your eyes
>>63549159
stop memeing
>MUH RATINGS
you plens need to understand music is not a popularity contest lmao. you'll see. history will judge her for what she is. an shallow, gimmick pop act.
>>63549192
My eyes are fine. It's you who got the problems with your eyes since you fine her attractive.
>>63549134

it sucks grimes feels the need to touch up her photos like that but I kinda agree that she needs to
>>63549202
>tons of makeup
>still looks like shit
>>63546194

Yes. Especially on /mu/. She's nothing special. I still don't know why /mu/ think she's the second coming of Jesus. Her stuff is not original really and she's horrible live.
>>63549270
>muh armpits
>omg it's so hard bean a wooman noone lets me touch the presets
>>63549306
Those aren't really "gimmicks". Do you need a dictionary?

Man your standards must be astronomically low.
>>63549338
Again - not a "gimmick".
>>63549134
the fact that you had to point out that >>63549074
was shopped speaks volumes
>>63549371
>>63549483

so What's her merit, specifically?
>>63549495
Kiss me.
>>63549483
JUST
>105 posts

Pretty easy too conclude she's one of the premier artists of her era
>>63549563
Just kiss me.
>>63549562
Oh dear god no
>>63549599
I know you want me.
>>63549548
I'm not the person to ask. I think Art Angels is alright in places, but I'm not on either side of the Grimes hatejerk or lovejerk. Just curious why people think she's a "gimmick", because I don't see anything "gimmicky" about her music.
>>63549636
She's less of a gimmick than Swans or Burzum. Somehow a distinct style gets conflated with gimmicks
>>63549636
that's not a merit. maybe you need a dictionary
>>63546194
100%
>>63549661
>What's her merit?
>I'm not the person to ask
Pretty sure you didn't even read my comment, friendo. I'm not going to give any of her merits because I don't give a shit. I just don't think she's "gimmicky" because I don't think any of you idiots even know what that means.
>>63549660
>Somehow a distinct style gets conflated with gimmicks
Anything that doesn't follow basic /mu/ guidelines of generic white indie folk or shitty memerap is a "gimmick", didn't you get the memo
>>63549733
shes a gimmick because of how she masks her lack of singing abilites by like 100 effects and still fails lmao; and peoplens still fail for it.

That's not a gimmick. Are you guys even trying?
WTF, is this the gathering of Grimeshaters? Fuck you all.
I just noticed that Grimes-haterz are like Islamist fanatics:
>I'm a pleb and I can't get into Grimes' music, so I'm raging against these heretics that love her. This is unacceptable: why they like what I don't like? It's my divine mission to convert them to the right path. I'm using all my weapons against them: shitposting, trolling, posting ugly Grimes photos, talking shit about her artistry and fans. Stop liking Grimes, goddammit!
>>63549877
Truth hurts?
>>63546251
>an awesome musician
she's actually a terrible musician. look up a live show if you dont believe me. she's and ok producer and song writer though
>>63549371
That prick is just a troll. He hates Grimes.
>>63549877
are you a faggot? fuck you all. learn to be sexually attracted to women like a real man
>>63549931
Wait there are really people out there who love her?
>>63549976
i have a shrine of her in my basement
problem?
>>63549855
yeah it is. it's literally an trick played on your bad ears

i hope Grimes never finds out how much you guys bully her
>>63550291
Believe me she knows.

Her marketing team is so desperate. I wonder how bad "art angels" sold..You can meme all you want but it's not going to make me buy it or even listen to it. Just fucking give it up and let her fade in obscurity.

Hi there!
You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of 4chan are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!
Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my bit to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!
She's getting more attention than none so yes.

Bullshit, I want to see numbers. This shit with her is fucking annoying, almost every thread she's brought up, no matter how irrelevant it is to the topic. It's just a pathetic and desperate attempt at viral marketing.
>>63550864
fuckin hell ahahahahahahah
>>63550875
2500 copies sold just in 3 months not counting itunes and google music. For underground performer that's really good.

She reminds me of Keith Flint
>>63550875
you bringing yourself up with that samefag shit in every lavren thread is far a more pathetic and desperate you cringelord
kys
I don't get it /mu/. Tried to listen to her songs but it's just plain pop or rather bad dream pop like songs. What's the appeal? Why are there Grimes thread 24/7 here?
is Grimes the new Kanye as the bait of choice for all the baitposters on /mu/?
>>63550926
>2500 copies sold just in 3 months
my sides
i bet even viper sells more
>>63550975
listen again
>>63550975
some of her music is actually fun
>>63550655
>implying that all those people that love art angels are from her marketing team
Delusional af
>>63550926
>>63550997
What 2500 copies? She sold more than that.
>>63550975
I don't know. I only know and like 3 songs by her. Vanessa, Oblivion and Genesis.
And I don't know why I like them, there's something in simplicity and accessibility.
These are just silly song without any deep intentions.
>>63550975
Grimes may seem a meme, but trust me she's actually great. Listen more and you'll see the appeal. Guaranteed.
>>63551008
i don't judge music based on looks. guess that's what i'm missing.
>>63551027
'fun' is very subjective
>>63551096
>
No you won't aside from the singles from "visions", everything she's made is a steaming pile of shit.
>>63551077
Yeah, like those songs need deep intentions to be not silly. Why are you so shallow?
>>63550975
art angels is pure pop like kate perry riahna etc.
try halhaxa and later visions
>>63550975
There's nothing to get. It's just a couple of autistic samefags who migrated from reddit who are trying to convince you otherwise.
Bland, superficial pop music. Nothing to see here.
>>63551132
Being a fat dumbass obsessed with Lavren you really don't have the right to speak about her. How about that: everything you posted is a steaming pile of shit. Worthless garbage.
Grimes made music that is loved by millions. You? A human hamburger.
>>63551153
>Bland, superficial pop music. Nothing to see here.
Explain why people are obsessed with Grimes if her music isn't the attraction. She's hated for her look too, so you can't rely on this argument.
>>63551201
Damn son, you're pretty mad.
You need a hug?
>>63551134
Did I say that there's something wrong with silly and light songs?
She just uses bass arpeggios, simple beats and airy vocal melodies. Sometimes that's just what I need.
>>63551238
No. I'm sick of your shitty "arguments". I get it, you don't like her, why do you shitpost here?
>>63551249
Such emotional songs can't be silly. Just listen to Symphonia IX and see how emotional it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsbiyvpel54
Grimes is so underrated on this junk board.
>>63550975
She's cute and quirky.
>>63551300
I guess we have different definitions of emotional.
>>63551265
In hopes that someone will see they're wrong and erase themselves from existence..And her marketing team should follow the example too. I mean, is asking for a crazed, obsessed fan to shoot her in the mouth on stage really asking for too much?
>>63551327
>She's cute and quirky.
i don't think that's how music works
>>63551350
Welcome to realiti.
>>63551237
She may not be the greatest in the look department but the appeal lies in that she's basically a human loli. No one actually talks about her music unless it's useless listicles and/or defending their waifu. And for good reason, being that as I said before, she makes nothing of note to talk about.
she's a pop music genius
>>63551345
you're a fucking awful person
>>63551345
You're so low it's not even worth talking to you. Keep dreaming fat pig, no one will change his opinion.
And for the last sentence, go fuck yourself.
>>63551423
it's a tripfag, you should've already came to that conclusion
she's so bad that grimes thread still bait people every. single. day
>>63551345
>adult fat fuck living at home with mom who also has to drive him to karate practice
youre the one who needs shoot themselves in the mouth tubbo
still better than KPOP tho
>>63551406
But in this very thread her music discussed among the steaming pile of bullshit. So, if she's supposed to be ugly why people keep talking about her? What is the appeal?
Any Grimes fans on this stupid thread? It feels like there are only people that hate her.
>>63551556
Grimes fans? There's no such thing just a couple of waifufags with shit taste in music.
>>63551591
i think grimes is hideous but i enjoy her music
>>63551591
There are real fans too.
>>63551484
>>63551484
I drive myself faggot.
>>63551486
As I said, you only "discuss" her music the moment anyone says anything bad about her via a 50 mile radius
And even then you guys don't really discuss her music. You bring up irrelevant factors such as Metacritic score and her popularity, repeat claims without valid justification, and respond to criticism by singling out a portion of it while not understanding what the poster what trying to say. It's like clockwork really.
And didn't I just go over this? 4chan likes lolis, Grimes looks like a rl loli. Do the math.
>>63550655
embarrassing post, even for you.
>>63551654
You have no fans, Claire. Just deal with it. A few waifufags and a dozen of tumblr girls doesn't count.
>>63551767
Prove it
The only thing more embarrassing than Grimesfags is anti-Grimesfags.

But people say she's ugly. What's left then if not music?
Just imagine how the arguments of the haters would be if Grimes would look like a supermodel. "You only like her for the look".
>>63551556
I legit enjoy Visions
>>63551775
What to prove? It's obvious. Go to her twitter account and look at the people who are re-twitting her.
>>63551744
>As I said, you only "discuss" her music the moment anyone says anything bad about her via a 50 mile radius
False. How do you know that? Do you actually follow every Grimes thread? That's pathetic from you.
>And even then you guys don't really discuss her music. You bring up irrelevant factors such as Metacritic score and her popularity, repeat claims without valid justification, and respond to criticism by singling out a portion of it while not understanding what the poster what trying to say. It's like clockwork really.
What are the relevant factors then? I say "she's great". Is that relevant?
>And didn't I just go over this? 4chan likes lolis, Grimes looks like a rl loli. Do the math.
Speak for yourself
I guess it's a good time as ever to post this.
Art Angels is a pop record that can't really decide whether it wants to be Avril Lavinge or Bjork. Due to this indecisiveness, it ends up bring all of the flaws of both artists while burying their strengths. She gets Avril Lavinge's excessive and obnoxious aesthetic while bringing none of her catchy choruses and relatability. She gets Bjork's meandering instrumentation while bringing none of her unique and emotionally affecting ones. Grimes' talents make everything in Art Angels competently made, but the idea of Art Angels is essentially self-defeating. It's a pop album that tries to be unique from both top 40 pop and art pop alike, but it's the search for this that makes Art Angels simply fall apart in terms of both songs and cohesion and bring the worst of both worlds while diluting both their inherent, beneficial traits.

That's way more than "a few waifufags and a dozen of tumblr girls doesn't count". Your math sucks.
I like Grimes.

I don't.

Half of them are waifufags and the other half tumblr girls. The point still stands.
>>63552054
>denying the evidence like an ostrich
Do you actually believe the crap you're saying?
>>63551821
I don't know if you're just being intentionally daft or a newfag but literally go on almost any Grimes general and you'll see people spamming pictures of her. No one would ever make her their waifu if she was objectively ugly.
>>63551865
>False. How do you know that? Do you actually follow every Grimes thread? That's pathetic from you.
Anyone who's been here a week can tell you how little actual discussion happens in Grimes threads. if you say otherwise you're fooling yourself
>What are the relevant factors then?
The actual musical content you mongo. Surely I don't have to explain why popularity and quality aren't correlated? Or am I arguing with literal tweens? Saying "she's great" is technically discussing her music but it's not saying anything. Why even waste your breath voicing your opinion if it has no warrant?
>>63552114
Evidence of what? Are you saying there people aren't waifufags and tumblr girls? Then you're wrong.
worst thing about her is her fanbase.
grimes would play in marriage of neckebeards and sjws with cat glasses.
>>63552144
Nonsense.
>The actual musical content you mongo
Yeah right, when you're calling her music bad, you're discussing the actual musical content, imbecile? Or it's just a stupid & quick opinion without any foundation? You're a fucking hypocrite: you expect actual discussion but not from you. You're just polluting this thread with idiocy.
>Anyone who's been here a week can tell you how little actual discussion happens in Grimes threads. if you say otherwise you're fooling yourself
Because of fucks like you. What is your contribution to a good musical discussion? What the fuck are you even doing here?
>Saying "she's great" is technically discussing her music but it's not saying anything.
Same to you. Saying her music is bad is technically discussing her music but it's not saying anything. Again, where is your actual music discussion?
>>63551973
Tired or not, I've never seen any Grimes fan address this adequately. Closest one was some accusation of a false dichotomy despite the fact that the dilemma isn't that she HAS to choose between one or the other, rather that she choose the middle ground and did it poorly.
>>63552144

Maybe I'll try but I'm not sure it's worth the hassle...
>>63551879
Avril Lavinge is an incomparable artist to Grimes. Stop listening to things on such a basic level and you may actually end up liking it.
you'll must admit art angels was a sellout move by grimeth tho
not like she had any integrity before but her first albums seemd way more honest sonically
>>63552390
Understandable, 4chan isn't the best environment for arguments anyways
>>63552424
How so? Albums like The Best Damn Thing and her s/t draw many parallels to songs on Art Angels, primarily in their aesthetic. I'm saying they're a exact same but the link is there. You want me to stop listening on a basic level then stop writing on such a basic level.
>>63552482
You're actually implying that she wasn't honest when she did Art Angels? Why, because it's more pop than before? What is your evidence to suport that accusation?
I bet you have no idea that Grimes always loved pop music. AA was a logical move. She avoided the common mistake by repeating her old style. She evolved as an artist.
>>63552536
*I'm not saying they're the exact same
It's been a long day.
Why do people who hate Grimes care about her more than people who like her?
avril lavigne is absolute shit
It's funny how people are arguing over Grimes when it's clear as the light of the day that she's properly awesome. Nobody would give a shit if she would be mediocre or bad.
>>63552631
They secretly like Grimes. They just don't know yet.
I want to violently hurt her with a gun or with my fists, she looks so fucking ugly
>>63552660
this thread is the gift that keeps on giving
>>63548079
>explain again how talented she is in light of this example
There are 2 problems:
1. she was interrupted by that asshole who invaded the stage
2. she forgot the lyrics but she recovered quickly (she always do that with Oblivion for some reason)
Other than that, it's a decent perfomance. Her singing is pretty close to the recorded version and her stage presence is still interesting. Keep in mind that she improved a lost since then simply by playing lots of shows. You don't attend a Grimes show for spectacular virtuosity but for a lot of fun, dancing, goodwill and sweet music.
>>63552365
>I've never seen any Grimes fan address this adequately.
that's because no Grimes "fan" on this board has actually listened to any of her albums in full.
>>63551899
are you fucking serious? she'd want nothing to do with him, just fucking look at him and his life? why would any self-respecting woman give a shit about him, even successful ones who have done more, and have more money than he'll ever see in his shitty, joke of a life.
>>63552768
*improved a lot
Fuck this keyboard

This is b8 100%.

You really must be new here.
>>63552631
hey friend. here's a CRAZY thought! Maybe the people who ''''hate'''' grimes in this thread don't really care about her, but rather are annoyed because of how the fanboys spam grimes all the time here?
crazy, rite?
>>63552835
They could look at other threads.
>>63552768
>You don't attend music shows for spectacular virtuosity but for fun and dancing.
things plebs say ?
>>63552883
What I said:
>You don't attend a Grimes show
And what you understood:
>You don't attend music shows
Are you thick?
>>63552854
wow thanks captain obvious. heres a better one tho. if the grime fanclub doesnt like different opinios why wont they go to a grimes forum?
>>63552917
grimes haters btfo
>>63552835
You could use filtering and never see 90% of her threads.
crazy, rite?
>>63552883
>fun is bad
Your autism is showing pretty bad in this post. you may want to do something about that.
>>63552917
my bad, forgot grimes shows arent really music shows but rather dance clubs
>>63552789
he grasps onto this bullshit excuse that he's "getting better", but we're close to reaching the halfway point and has literally nothing to show for it. he's just made empty promises and wants his hand held through life. people are smart enough to see through his bullshit and notice how much of a liar he really is. he's wasted his life on a web forum and done nothing but telling people why he can't do something. in desperation wants to tell people how hard he's trying when there's been little to no actual changes in his life. what happened to buying a car? getting out of his parents house? getting a better job, and going to college? he's done nothing about it but the bare minimum and expect to be given the world.
fuck him.
>>63552919
You're welcome. The opinions are never different. Grimes haters say the same things, over and over and over.
>>63552958
They're music shows too. It's just that they're actually entertaining not like your boring af Autechre shows.

>>63552958
These post just keep getting dumber.
>>63552988
That's right. It's like they rehearsed a role. How long it will take until they will give her a fair chance and then regret saying this stupid shit about her?
>>63553045
Whenever Fantano tells them to.
