LoveInStereo Posted August 8, 2023 Posted August 8, 2023 What I can’t take is people in here acting like Grimes is jealous of anything Poppy has. How sheltered from reality do you have to be to be under the impression that Poppy’s career is going better than Grimes? G has like 3x as many Spotify monthly listeners. Poppy has no signature hit or project that music fans remember. No commercial success, no critical acclaim, her new tour had tickets for $20 & it had a coheadliner! Liking her art is subjective. I do. But objectively, her career is in the gutter! Shame on y’all pushing these revisionist histories just bc you don’t like Grimes. I like the music but Poppy’s a nobody, a has-been & a flop & saying anything to the contrary just makes you seem full of bs, honestly 7

I like the music but Poppy’s a nobody, a has-been & a flop & saying anything to the contrary just makes you seem full of bs, honestly While Grimes does have the bigger career and the bigger audience, that doesn't mean Poppy isn't successful in her own right. Poppy has her own dedicated, niche audience in the Alt-Rock-Metal sphere. You don't have to be a superstar in order to make a decent living off of music, which a lot of ATRL fails to understand. My previous post wasn't about numbers and money, but rather critical acclaim and public opinion. Poppy, ironically, is small and niche enough that her audience doesn't care when she legitimately does pull problematic bullsh*t. She has a Grammy nomination and the last several projects from her have a decent amount of praise within the Alt-Rock-Metal sphere. I also greatly disagree that she has no signature projects. Meanwhile, a lot of Grimes' old audience can't stand her these days because of current public image, because that's the kind of audience she had cultivated up to getting with Musk. Her current musical output, imo, also doesn't stand up to her previous works. Definitely not enough to make up for her so-called "heel turn". If we're talking about the present day, then Poppy comes out on top over Grimes, artistically. Imo, at least. I personally believe that critical acclaim and public perception are the things that Grimes cares more about, over money and numbers. 1
