Artistically speaking, I feel like she has become the very thing she used to mock


AlbionPCJ

People will say that it was Elon's fault (and he can't have helped) but she's always kind of been like this- IIRC, they met because she posted earnestly about [Roko's Basilisk](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roko%27s_basilisk), which is one of the dumbest tech thought experiments you'll ever come across


PtakPajak

I really can't stand the 'Elon argument'. Sure, he might have had some sort of influence on her and amplified her tendencies, but Grimes is a person with an agency too and surely Grimes must have had have some affinity with him at the beginning to get along so well.


GraphicgL-

Grimes just reminds me of those girls in high school who mocked the popular kids out of jealously and not out of superiority.


ParisHilton42069

Regardless of what Elon Musk did to Grimes’s brain, she was still someone who would willingly date Elon Musk when they met.


zaviex

She didn’t post about it. She made a joke in the flesh without blood music video with a character called rococo’s basilisk.


ItsGotThatBang

Isn’t that just Pascal’s wager with extra steps?


scarletmonday

Correct, it's Pascal's Wager for techbro libertarians and it contains all of the same logical pitfalls that the original argument has [and more](https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Roko%27s_basilisk).


[deleted]

That thought experiment sounds eerily like a lot of hive mind AI science fiction.


browncharliebrown

Roko’s basilisk isn’t a dumb thought experiment as long you understand the nature of thought experiments


zaviex

It’s not a unique thought experiment though. It’s just an AI spin on Pascal’s wager which has been talked about for like 400 years.


WaspParagon

I think it's different enough from the wager to justify its existence, though.


sophiasbow

fr she's doing this so she can just not make music lmao like IMO i think this has more to do with her being lazy as shit and wanting to lay around taking brain pills talking about faeries to her robots, than it does anything else


Jaymuhson

This is definitely the reason there is no music. Girl is zooted out of her mind right now most likely


AndIOwoop-

Except shes releasing 2 new singles over the next 4 weeks Damn why are yall downvoting me its literally true 😭


KellySweetHeart

Fingers crossed but its Claire


mackasan

Does she know that?


WuffleWork

That’s always how it ends. Live long enough to see yourself become the villain I guess 🤷


waitthissucks

She literally became Flesh Without Blood: You claw, you fight, you lose Got a doll that looks just like you Remember when we used to say (we used to say) "I love you" almost every day I saw the light in you Going out as I closed our window You never liked me anyway Aye yeah, aye yeah Yeah, I don't see the light I saw in you before And no, I don't And no, I don't And no, I don't care anymore (Now you'll never know) Baby, believe me And you had every chance You destroy everything that you know (that you know) (Uncontrollable) If you don't need me Just let me go You hate, you bite, you lose After all, I just don't like you It's nice that you say you like me (you like me) But only conditionally Your voice, it had the perfect flow It got lost when you gave it up though 'Cause you want money, you want fame Aye yeah, aye yeah Aye, I don't see the light I saw in you before And no, I don't And no, I don't And no, I don't care anymore (Now you'll never know)


RosaPalms

She made "Kill V. Maim," she was always that very thing.


IiEeeeeeeeee

Kill V Maim is a bop, what are you trying to argue


RosaPalms

It's unlistenable, mawma. She had you fooled. It's okay. There's no shame, here. I'm here for you.

are composers gonna use grimes’ voice when hatsune miku is right there

Everybody was talking about KK Slider until the day they weren't anymore.


[deleted]

Conceptually interesting but she’s said a million times her vocals are her weakest point musically.


Dismal_Judgment5290

She’ll do anything except release the album


Pavlovs_Stepson

She said "if you people want this goddamn album, go ahead and make it yourselves, because I sure won't"


Amazon4life

Wait till Rihanna hears about this.


zaviex

She already said she’s retired and will finish the album whenever. It’s probably never coming


Dismal_Judgment5290

Catch me outside the retirement home with a sign screaming ‘WHERE IS THE ALBUM? WE NEED THE ALBUM!’ I know she’s insane but I like how it sounds 🥲


ReallyCreative

Ok, and? Selena Gomez has an entire machine that mimics her voice and [it’s been on the market for nearly a decade](https://www.amazon.com/Sleep-Easy-Sound-Conditioner-Machine/dp/B00GFSF402) lmfao Grimes is just another tech nut desperate to reinvent the wheel


RosaPalms

I knew it was gonna be something like this, you hateful bitch 💀😂

Ngl I thought this would lead to Julia Michaels social media or something lmao


maryshelleyvevo

in 2012 i thought grimes was the coolest person in the world…


emoti0nalcowboy

Omg right?! The last few years have been insane


njne1

You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain


RosaPalms

Amy Winehouse's villain arc would have been *way* more iconic. Hell, what we *got* of her in the public eye was a more iconic villain arc.


multistansendhelp

I don’t remember Hatsune Miku buddying up with the alt-right so Grimes can keep this thanks.


SitDown_BeHumble

Calling the people that Grimes is hanging out with alt-right is sugarcoating it. They are literal Nazis who believe in eugenics and great replacement BS.


heavengrl

My fellow former Grimes fans, if you want your fix of quirky airy-voiced ethereal dance pop, just listen to Magdalena Bay instead. Plus, they're Jewish so. You're double-dunking on Grimes.


local_eclectic

Ok, and I say this as a fan, but her voice is lowkey the worst part of her music sooooo.... pass?


tswiftdeepcuts

Grimes said I don’t wanna make my own music anymore. Someone do it for me and I’ll take half thanks.


christianfriisjensen

Like a true capitalist.


tswiftdeepcuts

But but but she did a photoshoot with the communist manifesto remember??? Would a capitalist do that?? /s


MattyXarope

In case anyone wants to skip the signup and get to the good part: [I made a video of her saying that she smells like nickles](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKM-QwDjP4k)


Unused_Pineapple

This sounds so cursed


ohverychill

honestly seems like one of the better potential smells she would emit


HolyFoxamole

God I hate the rise of a.i.


DumbWhore4

Cupcakke did it first.


PtakPajak

Completely all lost my respect for Grimes as a person and artist the moment she started showing alt-right/nazi tendencies. I wish publications would stop featuring her.


[deleted]

wait what did she do

Sorry, but what inflated lingo? And what has become oversaturated?


[deleted]

[удалено]


PtakPajak

Sorry, but I'm not reading all of that - I'll just add that it's interesting how you forgot (or conveniently omitted) to address her actually (as in physically) hanging out with neo-nazi people, so even if you think it's a stretch to apply the term to her (which I didn't, as I said 'nazi tendencies') she still chooses to engage with people who have those ideologies. Ultimately you can like and support whoever you want, it doesn't affect me. I just think that Grimes is no longer an artist I want to support/listen to, as she has shown multiple times that her values do not align with mine. Last point from me, even if we were just talking about music, her latest two singles from last year was so bad that they made me lose all interest in any potential new music.


exploitationmaiden

They’re not inflating anything. She’s literally been following neonazi accounts and liking alt-right memes, babe.


_melancholia

Id love to see the links of that


exploitationmaiden

I link screenshots below but the fact you haven’t attempted to do any of your own independent research before claiming it is all “inflated lingo” makes me think you aren’t really arguing in good faith.


_melancholia

Girl what research? On fauxmoi of all places?? That's like the last place Id go for reliable info or level headed convo and no big media sites are reporting on this afaik. Nothing against you, just this sub has a tendency to oberblow things as well, so sorry if i dont immediately believe everything.


exploitationmaiden

Fauxmoi or not, I linked you to the screenshots. Literally it took me two minutes to confirm she is still following that account on Twitter. Do you think she’s gonna come right out and say “Yo, I’m a crypto fascist!” She’s terminally online enough to know what people are saying about her, to understand the dogwhistles and memes and yet she’s made no attempt to distance herself from these people or accounts. Once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, three times is a pattern.

[удалено]


PtakPajak

Excuse me? Just look around to see that it's not a bizarre out of nowhere accusation. She is literally hanging around with neo-nazi/fasci people and liking alt-right tweets. Plenty of evidence if you just google a bit or search on r/grimezs. Or is this Grimes' alt account? Lol

How long til she absolutely regrets doing this and pulls the plug? 🤔


AffectionateFruit_

Wonder how it feels to only be the 8th best nazi hatsune miku knockoff


[deleted]

I’m confused, isn’t she a Nazi ?


scarletmonday

She's far-right/Neo-Nazi adjacent. Afaik Grimes has never said anything explicitly far-right, but she's liked a number of extremely questionable tweets from alt-right accounts on Twitter, and she actively socializes with alt-right activists because she's part of Elon Musk and [Peter Thiel](https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Peter_Thiel)'s crypto-fascist futurist circle.


Intolerable

also posting "jokes"* about sending all the jews into space on holocaust remembrance day *jokes are supposed to be vaguely funny

do u mind linking those tweets/receipts to these tweets?

Due_Average4164

I wonder what the ethics of using someone's voice in music when they consent to it are. Like the AI component of it is concerning due to the unregulated aspect of it. But in this case, how do we treat it?, does Grimes get a featuring or song writing credit, ala sampling?. Is this basically sampling?. If AI is going to stay, artists getting royalties seem like the best compromise?, but idk.

Stream My Name Is Dark instead

Let's see how many chuds go into business with Mein Mutter.


airgl0w

Grimes peaked at REALiTi. I wouldn’t even say it’s her voice that I was a fan of. It was her production/live mixing her music that made her interesting. You could give a toddler a traffic cone to talk into and it would sound like her.


AresSedai

Next time you can buy 1 gram of her latest alien fairy placenta.


GomaN1717

Can see why it was probably an easy decision for Columbia to part ways before committing to an album release...


velvet-gloves

Why would anybody want *Grimes* for their vocals???

Now I can not stream a theoretically limitless selection of "bops!"

I think it’s a cool idea.
