Grimes/Claire Boucher thread

While a technofascist weirdo pop-star singing about AI is about the most 2018 thing I can think of, I find it pretty repulsive myself.

if it IS a genuine heelturn then I...don't like that? I'm only marginally more OK with fashy tech fetishists than I am with NSBM types

Come on, you're not even alive
If you're not backed up, backed up on a drive

it's super twisted that she really sincerely believes this but there it is, in her own words

haha

sincerity really is scary

this doesn't sound enough like fear factory

doesn’t doomsday science fiction about AI predate the online rationalist community by like a century?

sad that grimes has succumbed to irony poisoning

I'd prefer irony poisoning to sincerity in this case

this doesn't sound enough like fear factory

there's only one band in the world for whom this is not the case, tbf

Poppy Breaks Down New Album 'Am I A Girl?' And Says She Was 'Bullied' By Grimes

She also worked with Grimes on “Play Destroy,” which she says is one of her favorite songs on the record despite a behind-the-scenes process she “could have gone without.”

“I was kind of bullied into submission by Grimes and her team of self-proclaimed feminists,” she says. “We planned the song coming out months ago, and she was preventing it. I got to watch her bully songwriters into signing NDAs and not taking credit for songs that they were a part of. She doesn't practice what she preaches. It's really upsetting to work with a female that is very outward about a topic, but behind closed doors, it's the complete opposite. It's actually very disheartening to people that are actually feminists and supporters of other females.” (Billboard reached out to Grimes’ representatives for comment.)

ok, poppy

"I was kind of bullied into submission by Grimes and her team of self-proclaimed feminists"

Iconic sentence of 2018

fwiw grimes also followed mars argo recently

(background on that, which is a whole thing, and I'm not sure what to make of it besides the fact that virtually every dude involved in this either is or seems terrible https://www.polygon.com/2018/5/16/17346050/poppy-lawsuit-mars-argo-titanic-sinclair-youtube-explained)

Here’s a brief lesson in how context works.

*closes tab*

Remember when Grimes made music, not drama?

Drama is way more lucrative

The information that we get about all these feuds are always so fragmentary. It’s impossible to figure out what actually happened.

Like what is the “disgusting situation” Poppy drew her into?

And what does it have to do with Grimes allegedly abusing NDA’s to deny credits to Poppy’s creative partners? Why would Grimes even do that for a track that was collaborative? Every single thing with Grimes is like this. Never clear.

And who was the “team of self proclaimed feminists”? Like a feminsit lawyer squad that Grimes has that behind the scenes try to discredit female artists? I didn’t know Grimes had one of these. And why doesn’t Poppy herself mention the artists she wanted to get credited?

People are going to take sides but no one even knows what the point of disagreement is.

That's called covering your own ass, no matter the cost. Rule #1 in the So You've Decided To Be a Neo-fascist phamplet.

See I don’t think there is a “fascist” plot behind this.

That seems weird and ridiculous.

Treesh r u still watching gilmore girls

You're taking all of this waaaay too seriously.

I can take stuff as seriously as I want, this is ILM

I just think a lot of discourse around Grimes circles around a void of unknowability.

Thought she was addressing George H.W. Bush in that note for a minute and was very confused

Yeah she dated george hw before elon

Oh word

I mean, everyone's free to make a fool of themselves in public. This is ILM.

Says the animaniac character

Whoa..you got me there! Har.

Why weren’t you threadbanned for your misogyny upthread

Say what you really mean, which is why wasn't I banned because you couldn't think of a clever response. I'll gladly ban myself from this circle jerk of creepy creeps.

every musician has drama, and tbh no one really knows what’s up (like did Sinatra kill JFK over a mob beef, maybe sure but who knows) and a lot of this Grimes drama has been at least publicly initiated by others.

I just think a lot of discourse circles around a void of unknowability.
