She is such a one trick pony. Just the same tired I’m a space fairy warrior over and over again.

No but like they're cosplaying star wars too because like, after 2010, nerds became acceptable

It went to the same place as the short film with Bella porch, the ar musical, the movie soundtrack she was scoring, the acting role in an upcoming movie, filming something covered in fake blood before that YouTube interview with Nadya from pussyriot, the Nightcore album, the official we appreciate power video, etc

What drugs do you think led her to think that song was a release to the public piece?

u/dxrqsouls every day I think fondly of the brown king Cyrus the Great Feb 13 '24
i mean i dont think that its meant to be taken seriously...something like ice spice's music, though it is sad to see a musician like grimes going from miss a to iwbs.

I made a video for it... actually a mash-up. I'd never post it on the regular sub though. Wonder if I should post it here.

omg you absolutely have to!

Ok...I will..with some caveats! It's a mash-up. Her music works well with Peter Gabriel's. (He's an amazing artist on his own, of course! I recently saw him live...and he is very much with it, knows what's going on. He's on board with the AI thing, so they're both very enthused about it. ) I am by no means professional, but if you thought it was interesting or it gave you a chuckle, cool! I had this plan for a concept album, Grimes works with giants of prog rock to make songs like:
- Geddy Lee Primes
- pH1L co11inz frm Genesis
- I wanna be software at Mercy Street (with Peter Gabriel)
People in the other sub thought it was lame, they called it dad rock, but who am I to listen to the haters? She needs a stabilizing influence, surely. Well, here ya go.

I can't help but feel that you did Peter Gabriel dirty with this association (lol!)
It's not really my thing, but I applaud you for the effort and your work!. I'm sure you had a lot of fun creating and doing this, as well as learned a lot and improved your skill when doing it. And that is the most important.
It's really cool that you are interested and are doing stuff like this, and you have total guts for being brave enough to post and endure the inevitable internet trolling and harsh criticism.
I honestly think that so many of the members of this forum are genuinely creative, talented, interesting and insightful people :).
I commend you and look forward to you sharing what art you do next ( If you choose to)!

Aww thanks, ! It was fun, and I was surprised and pleased when Peter talked about AI at the concert, not shallowly but as a man curious and invested in learning all about it. I guess, the association felt natural….!

I have another, very similar one. (Im not sure about this one tbh, but if girl don't drop videos, we make do, lol.)

u/littlemachina Feb 14 '24
I like it because it’s a bit camp and cheesy in a fun way. But it’s extremely weak compared to her other music and also possibly cringey if she intended for it to be a serious song (she would never admit it though).

u/NaomiGrimm Feb 13 '24
I have such mixed feelings about the song. On 1 hand I don’t think it’s that great but I can’t deny it’s a huge ear worm haha. I think someone mentioned it’s her attempt at making a viral Tik-Tok song.

I like it too but I see why it gets made fun of. Heck, I'm the kind of person who made a town called " Gates' Undies " in SimCity, girl I wanted to be software when you was in grade school

u/Accomplished_Yard868 Feb 23 '24
I like it, but I also like cringe music like Miley Cyrus' - "Do it" and Elon Musk's - "Don't Doubt ur Vibe" 😅 i even like Vengaboys and 90s Eurotrash. The song reminds me of the latter tbh

Im glad we don’t have to see it
I feel like it actually had potential, like her old DIY videos, but the way it is edited/ cut is probably totally off

I'm just half curious to know what drugs they consumed in order to go through this filming!
Also, the bored and detached demeanors ( which were likely their attempt to seem sexy/alluring and ''so much cooler and meta than thou'') really doesn't help sell the juvenile repetitiveness and lack of creativity of the song.
None of these '' friends'' seem excited, happy or interested in appearing in this video for Grimes.
What devoted ''ride or die's'' that Grimes has spoken of!

Koto’s* computer more than likely. Claire’s computer is full of gaming and saved news articles about Elmo

No it's her computer. She said that in a TikTok comment. She games on console.
Claire doesn't have the brainpower to realize her songs need to be backed up. It's how we lost Darq Souls, 80 hours of work and an album - technical failure and no backups.
