And peep Grimes liking it ❤️😭

i want to make this (quick?) outline to frame my question

when i discovered grimes, it was 2013, i was a junior in high school. my first video project was a “music video” to weregild.

i have almost all her records on vinyl (i have my own philosophy behind collecting my most beloved music)

when i was younger i really adored her (i still do🤷🏻‍♀️)

misanthropocene came out in 2020 and i think she had gotten with elon around this time… i remember thinking it was odd and i can’t help but think she includes easter egg style remarks in her music (“you’re gonna get sick, you don’t know when” in 4am just as an example. covid had become relevant to me as early as december 2019 and the album came out EARLY 2020 before it was so dominant)

idk i think my biggest trip about her is she has not one, not two, but THREE children with the richest man in the world.

she is restricted on what she can say about him (i am really happy to be challenged on this because i accept counter opinions on many fronts) so i’m left to make assumptions and i have little to go off.

at first i thought it was neat, her ? with elon?? , then i thought it was weird (wait elon is super powerful and maybe questionable) and then i thought maybe this is weird. the age gap. the power dynamic. the money. the other children. the trauma. as time went on, i became less and less fond of elon.

i’m the type of person to be able to hang on to music and not be in the know about the musician themselves, and i will always be a grimes fan even if it had to be a guilty pleasure because she was such a vital inspiration as a young teen….

~ as an adult though; i cannot help but feel like her art is some extreme encapsulation of real, current history.

even in her interviews recently, she mentions women at the partnership of powerful men in the past haven’t had their own expression.

it feels super bizarre to me to be living in the now. i was born in 1996 and the world
in the last 30 years has taken a turn i didn’t think i’d find in my life time, and her partner is making a significant contribution to curating it.

sometimes i get confused when i see my idol(s) having so much correlation with people who i feel (maybe?) disdainful for?

elon is controversial in so many ways and im wondering like how much can we trust what she says? she has become controversial and in a way i can admire her for it, but i also don’t want to ignore it.

so what’s the general consensus? i genuinely have no idea and im so open to insight outside of mine. i am an artist too so i really value other eyes and ideas

In comparison to Zacks interview, which went really well because he was able to keep C engaged, maintain flow of the convo, and remain enthusiastic thru, this interview I felt was almost framing her in bad light idk maybe just me tho

I know ppl have posted clips but DYING for the full thing... x

I love seeing the similarities from We Appreciate Power musically and Accelerando

The 360 tracking motif with still or slow poses

The ethereal vocal breaks

One with a smaller budget and simpler CGI/VFX/production value

I just think it’s so cool to see ideas evolve and expanded on

I really love Entwined. Could not stop listening to it when it came out. Same with Sign from God.

I feel like this shot in Accelerando looks familiar but I can’t put my finger on it? Is it a reference to specific sci fi or sci fi concept?

what is with the creature on her lap lmaoooo 😭

Check out the cool stuff I found cleaning out an old box! One page was ripped out because I used it as a poster in college. I was really into Grimes between 2013-2017, then a drop off during the unpleasantness (2018-2022). It's lovely to see her creating again!
