    Grimes' songs are the equivalent of sleeping during the day while sporting a mild fever, and waking up later to see that it's dark outside. You sit there half asleep on the edge of your couch, unsure of your surroundings, wondering how many days have passed, when in fact it's been like 2 hours of drooling on a pillow and running through the dark-tranquil forests of your mind. I love Grimes.

      This is very wise of you, because I see a lot of people that just judge her based off of her inability to articulate her thoughts. It’s sad because she has a lot of good ones, but most likely because of her autism and ADHD she isn’t good at articulating them.

    I don't understand Grimes. Which is probably why I like her so much. She's not as transparent as so many of these artists you see on the front page of youtube. There are so many dismissible acts floating around but Grimes always keeps me questioning her intent and her motive and more importantly: what she's going to do next. She's a very interesting person and I think she's going to have a very successful and widespread career in a multitude of different mediums; even outside of music.

      I think she's a genius composer. It takes copious amounts of intelligence and 3 dimensional thinking to arrange music, especially with all the layered and numerous files she creates and employs. She's also very ambitious and driven and is probably very intense. All I can say is that I have tremendous respect for her as an artist who has her own style and sound that draws from many diverse musical genres.

      “Political” artists are fucking boring. Either be a politician or an activist, or be an artist. It’s not a hard set “rule” and I enjoy many artists that have their political opinions clear in their work, but these days they make a big thing about it like, look at me I’m supposedly politically conscious. But their political stances are so unoriginal and basic and stereotypical. It makes their art worse

    • @hojosconsal9913
      @hojosconsal9913 2 роки тому +1

      @@alvareo92 But what is art then? Just beauty and aesthetics? If you look thorough the history of arts the importance of a political stand along with self expression is clear, and not even during the last decades but centuries ago. Being political is not a bad thing, the core of the word means people have a word in what happens in their city or group, yet people usually say that when they don't like the politics they are seeing. Anyways, what I was trying to say is that art is not just a nice thing to look at due to its superficial characteristics (which is now kind of boring too), its a method of expression and discussion, hence the existence of concept art in all mediums (visuals, plastics and music)

    I don't see why people think art has to have a purpose or be explained. It just is; the person that created it made it, and even if they don't remember why, something influenced it. It's impossible to make something without having a reason. This was the most confusing statement I think I have ever made.

    It is refreshing to hear someone talk about art as having value in itself, and not its role in social causes or political causes or gender or identity. In at least one way, art is like religion. People are going to speculate about what is out there. You can't stop them.
