in both cases there's two very distinct parts of the "fanbases", of which one is terribly cancerous and the other is alright.

With DG there's a very clear divide between memeloving fucks and actual fans. The thing is that the actual fans don't have the pressing need to discuss the band because they consider them to be just another good band. The memeloving fucks however, whose first DG album was no doubt jenny death, have the need to incessantly type out lyrics of the songs to other "unenlightened" friends to make them ask what they're talking about, and tagging eachother feverishly whenever the DG facebook page makes a new post. They probably don't even like the music as much as the fact that it's "a black guy screaming lol have you seen the video where he looks into the camera laughing like a maniac wait let me link it to you :ppp"

in Grimes' case you have the girls and gay guys who worship her persona but not the musician, these are the people who will agree with claire that AA is her best album "because it's just a woman who is free to do what she wants and that's great" but whose previous exposure to her is limited to the videoclips for oblivion and genesis, while there's an actual fanbase of people who knew about 4ad before she joined it and probably don't even care much about what colour her hair was last week

>>65840781
this is just flat out wrong
>>
>>65840846
>proving my point
>>
>>65840969

I agree with your DG description. A lot of /mu/tants feel the need to meme out with lyrics and what is the 'best album' without taking into account their own personal taste. DG constantly changes their style in every album, so when discussions arise, its more about "who shares my one-sided opinion" and "if you don't agree, you're not a DG fan." And its not even just DG, I'm a big Radiohead fan and I seriously get sick when I read some of the threads on this board.

Most DG discussion in this board is shite

Its cool though, I'll just sit here, listen to my music, and lurk.

I hardly see annoying DG threads so Grime fans are worst
>>
>>65841892
No, I don't mind his fanbase expanding at all. The issue is that it's all memes nowadays. Someone doesn't like a release or an aspect of one? "You just don't get it" - no legitimate discussion comes out of it. Don't get me started on the thread yesterday where some anons were attempting to justify his potential scamming of fans as some weird commentary on the dangers of consumerism (if the rumors prove to be true)
>>
>>65840767
I like both and Death Grips is the worst, I don't think Grimes really has a massive cult following like Death Grips but they can be annoying on /mu/

I'm not saying there aren't people who think AA is her best album because they like it though. I'm saying that the cancerous part of her fanbase is people who would say that.

Grimes is probably worse on /mu/, but outside DG fans are pretty bad (this coming from a DG fan myself)

Undoubtedly Beyoncé and Kanye. You can't get worse than those two.

i'm gay and have been a fan of grimes for 5 years, and i'd heard of 4ad long before that, and I love art angels most because of its songwriting and strength in production, and the lyrics are sometimes silly but always easy to relate to, the passion put into the production detail that serves its purpose for each song ties it all together for emotional impact.

Nearly everyone cares way too much about Grimes on this board either way. If there isn't 5 grimes fapfest threads there's 5 grimes hate threads. She has some good music but I don't get how it's so polarizing here it's just decent electropop chill out ffs.
Obviously not everyone is like this but the most vocal ones surely are.

>>
>>65840767
I brought a fan of Death Grips to game night once as a favor to his brother. Apparently he had expressed interest in getting into tabletop.

He wouldn't shut up about them, that's how I determined he was a fan. Eventually I told him I'd check them out some time and he looks me in the eye and says "You've let me define you" then stopped talking to me. It was an awkward as fuck ride home. he just had this smug as fuck smile the whole time.

I guess he's right. Now I hate him and I'm predisposed to disliking a band.

I don't have an opinion but that's my story.

this one baffles me. they seem to only exist on /mu/ and they all have this crazy obsession with a completely middle of the road producer. at least death grips and grimes are unique enough that their fanbases make some sense. ferraro just feels like a meme gone too far.

Death Grips, by far. Grimes fans are fairly self-contained. They're obsessive and annoying, but left to their own devices, they'll just keep posting pictures of her and jacking off in their own threads. Death Grips fans, on the other hand, infiltrate everything. They're like a disease which shows up constantly everwhere.
