I love how she criticized postmodernism, and being humble enough to admit she definitely falls under it's umbrella. A true artist.
postmodernism is a dead meme. We are way past that point
@@OsmoZchannel thank god that meme is over
@@OsmoZchannel The word meme is a postmodern idea lol. Logic invalid.
Dank Mheems post-modernception
@@dankmheems290 post modernism is from mid to late 20th century. We are in the 21st century.....
She's what happens when you abandon expectations and live for yourself without caring what people think of you. I remember hearing her several years ago and being so jealous this person did what i wish i could. Live a life without boundaries.
@silvercell, keep telling yourself these pointless excuses. Lol
:)
@ichigox what does money have anything to do with self expression. Money doesn't change the inside only the outside
She's also obviously pretty talented, so there's that.
@@palegangsta money is a big factor!! If you cant afford food/rent, you cant afford digital recording equipment, makeup, costumes etc. I hate when rich kids say they had no help when in reality, they couldn't afford a new suit, shoes, a haircut or train fare to an interview - bullshit.
thanks for reminding me that im obsessed with grimes
#same
Me too
Confirmed for bully enabler.
LOL sorry this was written 3 years ago but thank you making me laugh
@Kilmo oh 😳
She seems really, sincerely creative, and that's something that's missing these days.
I mean, maybe at the level of popularity she's achieved, but that's it as far as I can see. There's never been more expressive creativity and artistic output at any other time in history.
This is not true, there is alway creativity.
Thomas B ??? How old are you
I mean a lot of factors go into this. It's our generation, raised and living in a society where creativity and art are seen as something that can be used when necessary and not something many people explore when they get older.
Can you repeat the question?
at 1:46 she says “I don’t want to just be the face of this thing that I built I want to be the person who built it” I think that’s pretty cool
yeah it's so refreshing to hear that
IT'S ICONIC!!!! TELL IT LIKE IT IS
the personification of "if you want it done right you gotta do it yourself"
She's really not the first female artist to say that. Björk is the first that comes to mind, among countless others. I am guessing you are male...
@@Gomba13 Hm? I never said she was the first :0 I just said it was cool lol why u mad
"Can you even believe this unbelievable badass." This is exactly what I thought the very first time I knew her.
Wait she’s like the weird girl finally being herself without fear it’s so cool
Genesis is still stuck in my head after like 5 years
I never walk about, after dark, it's my… 🎵
oh wait…
My heart, I never feel, I never see, I never know 💕
Her current stuff is insane... my long-time fav is Realiti - feels so nostalgic and free and hippy vibe
yes, same
@@Eye_Radiate_Light realiti and genesis and kill v main and everything she does😩😩😩😩😩
She must to have money....I mean, before Elon musk. Because there's no selling music on her field and not much alice audience to support all this creation. How do they do they?must to be sponsored
Honestly, I thought she was gonna be kinda cringey and like have a "fake deep" kind of personality. Boy I'm glad that I'm wrong! She seems totally cool and really chill! Can't wait to see what she does in the future!🌻
Cause you're my sunflower!
Cough billie
ariesi Xuz stop projecting that shit into Billie. Also she’s a teen of course she’s cringy sometimes
@@1800betterinblack Billie is amazing.
Wow ur so cool you appreciate “real art”
I'm 62-yrs of age. And obsessed with Grimes. I just can't help it. To me her music is instantly gratifying. My other favourite is Kevin Parker. I just love their individual styles. Their musicianship. I saw KP's Tame Impala last summer in Toronto and the kids in front of us were amazed I knew all the words to TI' songs. Anyway my current favorite is Grimes' Violence. Rock on kids!!
I’m 45 and I love her so did Elon musk . She just seems very reall at being completely your own kind . She’s creative and fun and also it’s refreshing she’s not sexual . She’s cool not trashy that’s the refreshing difference from her and most of the other singers today the music labels totally turned them into horse puppets for the industry I hope that never happens to Grimes she seems to have a very strong supportive family and to be close to them and that makes all the difference in being able to be yourself really she lets everybody else feel it’s OK to be liberated and different and not have to fit into the typical Hollywood standards of beauty and fun and what a woman is
I'm 55 and just recently really took the time to get to know who she is. She's an artistic genius, and humble.
do you ever see someone being themselves so unapologetically and you suddenly feel how it somehow makes you feel so powerful too?
she's so unique and inspiring it's amazing!!
Shes a chaos magician and isnt even aware of it! I have never seen someone mold reality so drastically with such little effort. Impressive ....
I'd say she's well aware of chaos magick
Voice acting or stage performance of any kind is a huge step into it. You remove yourself from yourself enough and reality begins to unravel and re-form around you.
@@motonecustoms most agreed!!
@@magus3ndr what like law of attraction kinda stuff?
@@im_so_bored3896 no like chaos magic
Im obsessed with creation too, i love art, music, colors, videos, painting, videogames and everything that can _express feelings._ I cant choose one. I see myself open to everything in my future, i feel like i cant stick to one thing. Hope im going to be like her.
same here!
That's awesome! What are you waiting for? Get out of your comfort zone and you won't regret it! It will definitely go well!
Me too!
Y E A H
But hey look at her....does does her album covers....involved in her look....compose....sing....produces etc....you can do all things :)
As someone who really wanted to be a musician I feel like that’s my biggest block creatively too, while I’m writing I’m like “do I want my mom to hear this? My grandma?” Lmao gotta stop worrying
@@marm818 ?
Rightttttt
Try to replace that question with "Would someone out there enjoy hearing this?" And remember, you are also someone. Point is, even if you think you are the only one who likes what you create, it's reason enough. You are not the only one with your tastes. 😉
@@Pzychonoir What the fuck was that all about? Are you okay?
LOL
She just does whatever the hell she wants it’s cool
Well I guess now I have to go listen to everything Grimes has ever done. Cool.
kill v main is a great introduction song
becuase is soo full of energy and magic, oblivion and genesis are great but you gotta listen them few times to maybe make them growth on you, and artangels the whole album is a master piece, if have like some cute bubblegum songs like california or more experimental ones like scream
She has 4 albums 2 pop albums (art angels and visions) 2 underground music (halfaxa and geidi primes)
I feel like my soul is attached to Grimes.
I’m just discovering Grimes now in quarantine and she’s really getting me through it. In these hard times, this artistic goddess reminds me the freedom we will obtain again once all of this is over. I’m obsessed with her and I wish I had found Grimes earlier. Better late never🖤.
She's half my age but I worship her as though she were eternal.
You're 60?
@@ShinyHunterkt probably 15...
@@Jay-sw9bi they said half their age, not double
@@tinybed but tbh, most likely a 15 y/o is going to be listening to Grimes as opposed to a 60 y/o
@@Jay-sw9bi yeah i agree lol but they worded it wrong if that's the case
Original. Bohemian. Artistic. She’s made of the same atoms as us ... but rearranged in an incredibly different way. Underrated & inspirational 💫
I remember when she had 1,000 views on her videos. Thinking this girl is 100% an artist. She will be big one day...HERE WE ARE. views over 1m.. shes going places. Shes worked long and hard to get here!! 🙌❤
Michelle Nicole AND she’s having Elon Musks baby too. I would not have thought that ever back in 2011
@@bobo9537 🤦♀️
Michelle Nicole she’s the real thing in a primarily fake world
Wow you’re an OG
Yeah right, when she had 1,000 views on videos. Surely, she was a nobody-making professional videos for professionally produced records. Right? It's almost like you are trying to tell us you were on the internet before the internet. 🙄
Her third eye is wide-fucking-open- I love it! That's life-goals... to be so comfortable in who you are, and be able to tap into and stay in that creativity and "mold reality"... everyone does it on a small scale, but she's doing it on such a larger scale- it seems as though she never allows fear to affect her energy. What a powerful woman! 🧚🏼♀️💖
Probably the most beautiful elf to ever live.
her and fka twigs are tied.
You had me at that fantastic intro. I had never heard of Grimes... now i have to go find out what is on youtube, there goes the next few hours of my life i think. Thank you!
and this is why i love grimes cos she doesn't do things for any reason other than bcos she feels like it idk
like u can tell claire boucher is a pretty closed person, but grimes as a character is so open with her mind. it's funny that we see deep into claire's mind thru her music rather than know simple things about her but it's how she works best and it's what creates the amazing act of grimes.
I absolutely love this series, Jake! Ive really enjoyed all of your work so far and it's great to see the eclectic, interesting mix of creatives that have inspired your work! I wish more directors did series like this.
I hadn't watched any of the Creative Obsession videos and I for some reason just clicked this one. They are so fucking good, Jake! I just watched all of them in a row after seeing this. Great work!
Wow.....never seen this channel before. But this is by far the best and most accurate and interesting breakdown of what makes Grimes so fascinating as a creative entity. I adore her and her artistry....and you clearly do as well. Very well done video. Shall look into this channel more now....I see you have a David Lynch one!
Absolutely obsessed with the overall structure and editing of this video. The intro is so well done. Amazing.
i found about grimes this summer and she’s is now my absolute favorite person one earth, she’s so cool and creative and extremely talented it amazes me
i love the way she carries herself, her confidence is beautiful. she is truly inspirational to me, i look up to her so much
Loving this series so far!
Really interesting to see how involved in projects people can get to the point where they start to become the project.
I love that thought!
I gotta be honest, I haven't clicked on a video from this channel it a very long time. But when I saw a mention of Grimes, I had to. I discovered her music in a beauty tutorial oddly, here on youtube. I've been hooked ever since. I like when music really treats singing as just another instrument. I think it's great for creativity.
Please keep making these! You hit so many fantastic points that more people need to see!
How this doesn't have more views blows my mind. This is so good! Keep it up Jake!
I'm loving this series! Thank you for your passion too Jake!
I've always loved Grimes, and even before it was announced, I always felt like she would have been a great fit for Cyberpunk 2077. Now that she's finally in it, it's a dream come true. Her expressionism and Relentless creativity is perfect for Cyberpunk.
I had no idea she started producing and doing music at 23 on Garage band. That’s crazy to me. I just feel she’s on a whole different level than most artists. I don’t know how else to describe it
I loved this video and am very grateful to have had this look into Grimes'/Claire's creative process, thank you so much : ) !
i'm currently so obsessed with her. she's so magical. likes she's from outer space ♡ ♡
I always find myself coming back to this video every time I need inspiration. She is soooo good is actually empowering
how do you be this brave without caring what others will say. I feel like that effects my creative expression a lot....
i think you have to do it anyways no matter what people say. because it doesn't matter what you do, some people will like it and some people won't. if you don't express yourself because you're afraid of people not liking it, you're taking away the happiness that someone could have gotten from it instead
Why would you care? Just do your best.
And remember that most people are rubbish.
Six Hearts get good
I'm not even saying it to be rude. I'm on the spectrum. It really disconnects me from what normal should be or even is.
wake up from egoic consciousness and realize that anyone talking shit would just be projecting their own insecurities
i'm pretty sure grimes is an awakened being with how much she gives no fucks and is still a good person
Keep this series up, Jake. I'm absolutely in love with it!
Holy shit Jake, these videos are superbly made. Seriously top class stuff!
So interesting, I never knew she stumbled upon a music career and never really planned to have one! She is still a true artist in my book, for sure. I think because she is just naturally super creative and as she said "makes creative decisions every day". Love this video!
I honestly had never heard of Grimes, but you made me wanna know more about her, so good job
Nice job showing all of her best moments on film
Thank you so much for this video. So well made. Perfectly captures the artistry and talent of grimes
the isolated vocals in kill v maim at 2:09 sounded so fucking cool is there a full version of that anywhere?
I got that from her episode of Song Exploder. There are a couple parts of the vocals played soloed. Great interview.
I actually think she's very self-conscious through her emotions. she doesn't need feedback to know whats wrong or right about anything, she just feels it.
i have never been more in awe or in complete and utter enchantment until now .
Hey cuz, I was stoked to find this in my Grimes interviews search! This is awesome, thanks for producing this. She's amazing.
Absolutely! She’s incredible.
I only dream with being so carefree and intuitive dude. So much work to do on myself... i'll be dead when i beat all this insecurities
Maybe it's just your lesson for this lifetime... Something you need to work on and learn so you can help others who are on the same path later on
Can you do one on Björk, Brian Eno, or Radiohead, love this series ❤❤❤
Bjork would be amazing
Radiohead please 💙💙💙
No love for Brian Eno?
I keep coming back to this video of yours. I found it so be inspiring for myself, thank you!
Yep.
I've been infatuated with Grimes (...and very keenly interested in Claire Boucher) for years.
Good video by the way- very cool that you started out with her album on vinyl.
She is really inspiring and motivating. Love her work
She is an alien and I love her. That's it.
This was great. I'm glad I found your channel!
Grimes is one of my favorite people ever. So inspiring, creative, and constantly challenges what is expected.
Who's here after her involvement in Cyberpunk?
Man, I had JUST gotten art angles out of my head... Awesome stuff though!
Not sure if there would be enough material for it, but I feel like one of these for James Murphy, the front man of LCD Soundsystem could be interesting.
This was a really well done video. Good Job my guy.
I wish these were longer. They're so good I want to watch them all the timeeee
Claire is my absolute Canadian queen! I'm so glad to see this and learn you are a fan!
My dad used to play her music in the car when we went on road trips when I was little but I didn't know the artist but I remember loving it a lot
Wow. I learned a lot about Grimes here. She has much more depth than I had assumed. Looking forward to what she does next
I could listen to her talk all day. So inspiring 👍💪
Making creative decisions… That is the life
That’s the sweet spot
Ironically a lot of people of lost their creative genius because they don’t realize they can start where they are and they don’t need all the bells and whistle‘s that’ll come later
So they have all these dreams that end up in wasteland
Which really sucks
Grimes is so amazing and inspiring. Love her and so hyped for the new album! 😡💕❤💗
I hadn't heard of this particular artist, thank you for bringing this to my attention!
best video on UA-cam, good work.
It's odd how I only started listening to Grimes when she put out the track 'Vanessa' because that's my name (dumb, I know), but I was immediately hooked, and I love everything she does. She can't not be creative, all the time, everywhere, anyway she can, and I love that about her.
I’ve watched this so many times in last two days, I may as well mouth the words
In the age of "instagram models" and sound cloud rappers... GRIMES keeps inspiring me to keep doing what I do. Just unconsciously be YOU, do what inspires you, be in the moment and your people will find you. 🔮💖
You are awesome. You are going to just keep getting better and better. I wish you all the best for your future
Where did you get the acapella for Kill V. Maim at 2:09!!!!???
Grimes is the kind of person that can't stop creating and that's absolutely amazing,, is amazing how she creates any kind of art starting from her own self expression until the sounds of her music or her illustrations. Man she really inspires me and i wish i could be this creative one day.
I love Grimes and this video is veery good!! I really enjoyed watching it. She is complex artist and you can listen her music on many levels 🙂
I keep coming back to this video, best video
She is so unbelievably talented
who else loves the song “oblivion”OMG I LOVE THAT SONG
❤️
Been really digging her muzik, nice vid, interesting & informative.
New Artist to my eyes n ears - thanks Jake, time to explore! 😊
This was in my recommendations, hate to say that I've never heard of her.
But oh man...
she's amazing.
I found her music from vogue, gigi and kendall. Im so happy i met her. Her music is diamond and just high quality and creative. No one can ever....
She's so fascinating. I love the way she talks.
Glad I found her music and everything❤
i really wish this was longer
FINALLY INTRODUCONG LOONA
The StrangePlace IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS COMMENT
Sooo accurate 😂😂😂
Lmaoo
Around 12yrs ago i started developing my own artistic alter- ego just through regular posting.
Using the first social platforms Facebook, Twiiter etc with the branding, ' Individual Art- for the ❤ of all creation ' I have built up a rather large amount of content.
And as a huge admirer of Grimes since the early 2010's for her uber taste, we share the addiction to continual creative conceptions
YOU ARE AMAZING, I HAVE SEVERAL CHARACTERS AND OH SO OBSESSED WITH CREATIVE EXPRESSION IN ALL VERSIONS
I wish there was a full documentary about her
One day... :)
I found grimes through bring me the horizon and I can tell I’m gonna be obsessed with her for a long time. She’s such an inspiration
She has art, music, and is very articulate. She was so young here.
I need to stop overthinking meaningless things and get my creativity back
the part of playing grimes reminds me of electra heart
"I can't say it out loud" lol love it! I gave up that futile struggle a while ago 😜
I wish I was this creatively free and able to actually make whatever comes to mind
...I got a playlist of her in the Mark IV suit. Also will listen to her at Stark Tower, Jarvis is very fond of her.
