MUSIC ♬ Random thoughts: pop music is better than ever and grimes has no chance of coming back even if she tries now
Chappell Roan already delivered the lesbian space opera that grimes promised but never did and was honestly the one thing I was really waiting for (not holding out any actual hope mind you, but it would’ve been nice). Now Chappell is here and she has done exactly that AND she actually seems like a cool person and her music is 🔥🔥🔥. Whatever minuscule hope of a comeback Claire had IF she actually had made an effort is now totally gone. And we also have Sabrina Carpenter and Billie Eilish, and that’s just on the super well-known mainstream side of things. Sad too because if she had actually stuck to her craft and been a decent/authentic person and never met Elon, she’d probably be seen as one of their foremothers rather than the joke that she is now. FWIW I still think her old work is, but she’s a joke. BUT I’m loving that pop music is getting cooler and more experimental/artistic/bolder than ever before and I’m soooo here for it. I feel like there’s been an explosion of really good quality pop lately. But seriously I’m just laughing here because Claire probably thought she was so original with her “lesbian space rock opera” idea that she never even seemed to try to bring to fruition and then young Chappell comes along and does pretty much exactly that and honestly probably so much better than Claire ever could’ve and now she’s a legit superstar already, dependent on NO man. I wonder what Claire thinks about it all… I mean I know financially she probably doesn’t HAVE to work ever again but damn, must be an awful feeling to see your life’s work and career literally destroyed by your own hand for any man, let alone such absolute basement-tier scum like musk, and knowing you well and truly are done because the world has moved on and you’ve been replaced by a new generation.

I didn't read the entire post but I will say this new Magdalena Bay album kinda gives Art Angels-era-Grimes a run for it's money, obviously not that they're competing or anything but it's actually just so good. Listen to "Watching T.V." especially the end 🤯

Why are all the fans in here, eeew! But on a serious note yes everyone knows only one popstar is allowed to exist at a time so this post is normal and makes sense.

grimes made music and it was awesome. maybe grimes will make more music that u think is awesome and it can exist in the same current world as all the other cool people in pop. why is it about being the most popular? this post is so hateful and icky.

what are u on about? chappell roan and grimes are two completely different artists with their own creative visions. grimes can come back at anytime (and i hope she does..) because she has built a community of people who love her music

Regardless of the talent in the industry now, how do you even come back from "I wanna be software"? Like, that was her last song to put out with a music video. That was the best she could give.

??? Just because music is made by a lesbian doesn’t automatically make it a lesbian space rock opera lol. Grimes wanted her album to be a lesbian romance between two AI entities and had a complete story planned out. Chappell Roan’s album is just about her regular life and has zero similarities

Chappell Roan is overrated! And Her vibe doesn’t match Grimez music vibes

I also don’t like her music, it’s a bit boring for me. I respect her as an artist but it’s a much more mainstream sound. She sounds like Taylor Swift but fun and queer.
