Grimes/Claire Boucher thread

Duh bruh

in the politically driven and racially driven climate of <your mom>

Losing pts for creativity but gotta set the bar low on ilx

What about

C) real anti-imperialists who hate musk and are upset at grimes for making a joke of their movement.

She’s 30 now, the naive, immature cutey brand she had is getting closer to annoying, woman-child.

which are all legitimate reasons to hate Elon Musk and be upset that Grimes is dating him I suppose. but it's not her politics, it just seems like a total jump the shark moment aesthetically.

Somehow I don't think it's Grimes' ideals that need to be called into question here.

You guys are actually reducing an artist's entire aesthetic and belief system down to who she's fucking and acting like it makes you the progressive ones.

don't worry she's taking imperialism down from the inside

We need to save the backlash for when the actual album comes out.

Can't speak for anyone else but I dgaf about shtupping tesla guy. All ire emerges from siding with or making excuses for the Bosses rather than labor.

If G puts out some new music, I’ll listen. Otherwise wgaf

"my boyfriend's not a cyberpunk villain and I'll prove it during the promotional tour for my next album" is, to be fair, incredibly 2018

Who'd-a thought they could be lovers?
She makes the bed and he contributes to the Rubio campaign
She likes it neat and he makes a mess
He takes it easy, baby, she get obsessed [with capitalism]
He's got the money and, err, she has less but is also certainly doing OK for herself
She don't like cigarettes and he's not so woke
Things in common? There just ain't a one!
But when they get together
They have nothin' but fun!

If G puts out some new music, I’ll listen. Otherwise wgaf

She goes by C nowadays.

just gonna go ahead and say it

grimes was a very typical vancouverite (looks, attitude, and everything) who still never fully realized til she moved to a big city (hello los angeles) her anti-establishment/radical socialist ideas have no place in the modern world -- it's vancouver's and mayor gregor robertson's "greenest city"/vision vancouver ploy

now she doesn't really want to handle the consequences of her ideas if she goes through with them from a practical conclusion/view

Personally I just want to see the receipts.

srsly tho vancouver norms trying to claim grimes is even lamer than mtl hipsters who can’t keep her name out their mouth being overfamiliar and creepy-mean. ‘This person went to elementary school in my city so i have special knowledge of her’ lol stfu leave my Nazi princess alone

have we reached godwin's law

I think the idea of artists being shaped by their cities is kinda exaggerated, especially in the era of internet/globalisation.

I find Whiney's position mystifying here -- Grimes is actively caping for a union-buster, fuck that, she gets to absorb some heat for that -- but find his Primus clip just delightful so it's a wash

Nothing worse than hipsters going 'arcade fire is so Montreal' when 6/7th of the band is from outside Ontario/the US and the other one is from a rich suburb outside the island.

lol floppy

u get it

van horn street

you just described torontonians publishing stories of people somehow related to their city

VHS otm pace your moniker.

it's for the Outremont part of the street so don't worry.

i mean outside Toronto earlier, i'm sorry

bill barilko disappeared that summer
he was on a fishing trip

I find the thought of Canadians being overtly excited and proud of artists mildly related to their cities charming tbhh

this thread rules!

always surprised by who you will go to bat for, I gotta say

She explicitly defended Musk & Tesla's very dubious business and labor practices on Twitter. Like Joan said, it's an explicit endorsement of politics many of her fans find repulsive.

If someone @‘d me on Twitter to attack my signif. other, I’d probably defend/deflect as well

We should do a 'would you date Elon Musk?' poll. The truth will shock you!

I mean maybe she invites it by engaging a lot w/her fans online(?); and saying “i’ll address it in my next ama!” is kinda rofl-y – but I dunno how anyone would expect a person to respond to such tweets other than “Nunya beezwax” or a defense of some kind. (“You’re right, Twitter rando, he suxx, mea culpa!”?)

yeah so would I, but that's not the point. it doesn't ameliorate her understandably confused & upset fans.

I thought her defense was the point (as you stated it) – if the point is simply they’re upset that’s she’s dating him, that’s a different kettle of fish (but if they @ her and she responds, it’s on them)

ya

nvm grimes is good now

New: Musk’s tweet about losing stock options by unionizing could be grounds for Labor Board charges, former NLRB chair tells me: https://t.co/FAJcXXnjha “The employee is going to hear it as, ‘If I vote to unionize, stock options will no longer be an option.”’ https://t.co/zaBaHvejc7
