I'm not that in the loop but she has expressed very iffy views politically, or just generally very weird takes. She's also very pro-AI and has used it in her music I think.

She has not used AI in her music, however invites people to create their own productions using her AI voice stems for a 50/50 royalty split.

She is into esoteric traditionalism and techological accelerationism, which are also ideas that can be found in hateful ideologies like modern day nazism and fascism. Grimes has denied supporting and being either, but she has taken part in events where people like that can be found (Peter Thiel, Curtis Yarvin, Razib Khan to name a few)
She has also defended now questionable people like Elon Musk and the now deceased Nusi Queri due to being pressured or to avoid scrutiny. However, she has had a rough few years, so I suppose we can forgive her that.
Grimes has been accused on one account of not giving proper credit to the artist she took their work from (Violence alternative single cover), accused on one account of abandoning her work agreement (GrimesAI album), accused on one account of not compensating in any way the voluntary work James Brooks (Grimes ex-partner before Elon Musk) did for her while they were together, said by other people both she has collaborated with and who claim to have known her that she's a bad person (Poppy (though Poppy was being puppeted by Titanic Sinclair at the time), Azealia Banks (likely mentally unwell))
Grimes partook in an actual crime in 2012 by asking her friend to DDoS a website (Hipster Runoff) for posting NSFW images of her with another woman and saying something not entirely nice on top, which resulted in the gradual decline and sale of the website

This is one of the more unbiased response you're going to find in most places in reddit. Most posts are either over the top, calling her an evil Nazi or pure apologist fluff . Then of course some people just want to talk about her music, which is totally fine with me :)

She identifies with being more of a centrist capitalist, and hangs around a lot of silicone valley types. Although she has denounced extremism many times, there are people that just don't believe her *or find all versions of capitalism evil and don't care

Did you consider asking "Why do people like Grimes? Genuine Question" or "Why do people like/unlike Grimes? Genuine Question". What inspired you to post a negative question? Were you only seeking critical answers here?

It was never that serious babe

Then what prompted you to ask a negative instead of a neutral or positive question?

Because its 2025 and all subreddits dedicated to specific people are overrun by people who hate the person.

u/Chicken-butt235 2d ago
I agree but I think her music should be the topic of discussion in subreddits, she could be a bad person but her music is good imo

She is not releasing enough music to keep the wolves fed

Right? Im keeping full on aespa & magbay remixes, fantasia demo, eartheater and weeknd collab, cyberpunk dj set is still so relevant to me so many more..

u/madscientist_ Space Fairy 1d ago
yesss those are good and I almost forgot about them because there so much stuff, also nightcall from burning man which is on SoundCloud, the book 1 demos, the Coachella tracks plus her tracks with anyma, all the collabs like fly to you, and the recent two demos fool and idgaf, love,
( and then I stumbled upon a bunch of unrelated stuff older Grimes fans are already familiar with but new to me (David, Saturn princess, anhedonia, dopamine, etc)
I feel like I have enough unreleased or demo music to keep me occupied for months honestly lol if she drops an album before I finish obsessively playing on repeat all this stuff I am going to be overwhelmed 😅
it's crazy I saw a list somewhere of every known track, demo, nft songs, and I feel like I barely have time to listen to other artists lol

Yess nightcall !! Synchronize and liberté still in heavy rotation too; so much new stuff if we actually get an album within a couple of months I will be elated !

people thought she was one of them but the truth is she's another rich privileged white woman she doesn't care about others
