Grimes/Claire Boucher thread

one of those breakups where you lose 99.9999% of your net worth

Who could see that coming?

Maybe now her artistic cred will come back

At least they gave us space travel

Good Morning, “Grimes dating Elon Musk” was a 3 year sociological study conducted by Harvard University. We are now complete with our study. Thank you for your time.

Honestly wasn't sure if that last post was legit or some kind of meta-parody, but nope, it's a real show.

lol

i can only imagine what a grimes breakup album will sound like at this point.

Here's a promo clip for Alter Ego with Grimes:

it's hard to think of a semi-famous musician less suited to tv hosting than her

think about poor little CTL.ALT.DEL, barely a robolad, future is ruined

saw someone on reddit goofing on the couple by referring to their child as "syntax error" — sadlolfacepalm

We’ll always have X AE A-12.

Saw 5 mins of Alter Ego. I think Elon might have been the one to end the relationship after catching a preview of it.

thought this was the onion at first

Even the picture looks exactly like the kind of photoshopped picture the onion world make

would make

the pic with the full length dune-inspired bodysuit is really something

i'm glad she's managing to have fun with paparazzi harassing her i guess

Arghh why is she so fucking lame. She used to be one of the coolest artists of her generation. Now she just makes me sad.

Yeah this looks like a photoshoot and she might be trolling but that doesn’t make it cool, tbh it makes it more lame.

idk about her ever being 'cool', she was only ever endearingly uncool (like look at those music videos lol they're so goofy) & then it became very unendearing very quickly when she made her heel turn

she likes dark souls which is good

Xpost: Not naturally cool no, but she wasn’t such a fucking tryhard. Posing for tabloids is as low as you can get.

i would argue she was very cool for a while around 2012

one of my communist friends is super into imagining the future of central planning and he says in the communist economies of the future the market will be replaced with some decentralized institution that is a mix between a social network and will also have these ai chatbots who interview you about which goods you'd like to have

Tyranny of the Clippy

Even the picture looks exactly like the kind of photoshopped picture the onion world make

paparazzi followed me 2 a shoot so I tried 2 think what I could do that would yield the most onion-ish possible headline and it worked haha pic.twitter.com/9w8pPwIFAq

that's what she was going for!

Still doing NFT scams

Bella Poarch x Grimes are dynamic musicians with cultural relevance: one is a TikTok icon, the other is a NFT pioneer. In this drop, IRL friends help each other break into the next big space.

Brittany_Broski x Grimes
Brittany Broski broke norms with one of the internet’s most iconic videos, propelling her overnight to as "Kombucha girl." Grimes broke expectations with a $6 million NFT series. Driven by authenticity, this pairing’s proceeds will go to charity.

Love the authenticity inherent in being known as “kombucha girl”.

Lol that paparazzi story is such bullshit

is it important? it's just trolling, is the point.

she's a bit of a nudnik

Is it actually trolling if absolutely noone got baited?

lol

Dawg she was dressed like she handing out side quests

lmao at "no one got baited" like did you actually see how people responded to this, including here?

I don’t see anyone in here thinking for a moment that this wasn’t staged.

"trolling" means trying to provoke a reaction. Crowing very loudly about how transparently staged this is was is taking the bait.

DJP otm

I think the photos were A1 but explaining the photos like she’s letting us in on it feels a bit lame

So she transparently staged a goofy photo to troll people into saying it was goofy and transparently staged? Not sure I follow.

I don't know, I guess it just struck how onion-like it was, everybody from Grimes to whoever photographed this to the NY Post was going for the onion esthetic.

If trolling simply means to provoke a reaction, under that definition every figure under every branch of human history and culture is a troll I guess.

If you ask me there’s an implicit side of “trolling” and “baiting” which needs someone to actually believe you’re being serious about something oh so controversial. If everybody is on the know, it’s not trolling.

Like a successful troll is someone like Kanye where you can’t actually tell if he is great at trolling or actually mentally unstable.

Yeah this thing she did got a reaction, but was it really a reaction at her “trolling” or a reaction at how lame it was?

I read some of the interpretations of trolling here as simply meaning that she's trying to trick you into engaging one way or another, so if you acknowledge, engage, discuss this at all, you are falling for it. The implication is that Grimes simply should not be getting any attention whatsoever, but clearly that is not a unanimous opinion.
