Grimes and Aespa Go Deep on AI, Avatars, and the Art of the Music Video | Musicians on Musicians

[@Madison.Dances829]

Even as a native English speaker I honestly had no idea what Grimes was talking about for most of this interview 😭 I can’t even imagine trying to understand and answer her questions as a non native English speaker

[@tolypotrix]

lmao that's true haha I don't know how Giselle did this

[@rizzrina]

LMAOO sameee (im not a native english speaker but I speak it like 90% of the time)

[@trepabeard]

Elon turned her into a robot and didn't fully update her. So her speech just hasn't been fully developed. Which is why she doesn't really make too much sense half the time, she stutters a lot, she has a slight lisp, and says "like" like a million like times, like. LOL.

[@davidkonevky7372]

Giselle was so profound! I love hearing idols go beyond talking about surface stuff about their groups and go into deeper topics. Aespa as a group is truly groundbreaking

[@jaimereyna8154]

who?

[@doryangrayland]

Grimes is possesed by a demon - but she call this AI. And i look on her how she talks - and understand that her mind and thoughts are not belong herself anymore. She needs a good "Exorcism" and to stop to take d.ugs and all kind of blsht that kills her consciousness and soul. On my i have a good "Exorcism" for people like her.

It’s really sad because you can see they can’t keep up the convo since they are not involved in anything related to the group (lyrics, aesthetic, concept) I hope they can be more involved in the future! : ) aespa x grimes would be fireeee

[@ashes898]

​@@suga3774it's both tbh

[@MuscleboundKage]

It's because AESPA are more of Performing Artists and not creative artists since everything is pretty much decided for them. It's not bad it's just a different type of scene.

[@ramsaycobbler8499]

daniel henney

[@Shakdnugz2024]

Yeah but she is independent, these girls don't have that autonomy, it's a job for them, not saying they aren't passionate about what they do, it's just they don't have the authority over their style and direction like grimes does. I think she under appreciates or doesn't realise as much how much autonomy she has over her music

[@mementomori5670]

Agreed, and in fact I even found this interview a bit awkward lol. Grimes has always been eccentric about her tastes and expressions and I kinda cringed at how obvious it was that even someone as fluent in english as Giselle wasn't catching on to her references to algorithms and integrations to artificial intelligence. I feel sorry for Ningning, Karina, and Winter ngl. Im not calling Aespa dumb or anything since this really just boils down to cultural and language differences. Its just that someone as Avant Garde as Grimes really is an ironic combo with meticulously crafted industry babies like Aespa.

[@sincerelysof]

@@mementomori5670 Agreed! Couldn't watch the full interview because of this. All I was thinking was, Giselle probably even needs a translator. Not because her English is no good, but Grimes is really particular in the way she speaks and her interest. You really described the juxtaposition between the girls well.

[@spy6205]

Agreed. It felt like a lot of Grimes’ questions would be better suited for SM’s producers and music development department versus the members themselves. Aespa simply don’t have the level of control or involvement that Grimes has when it comes to concept, song lyrics, etc. You can tell Aespa didn’t really know how to answer those questions. It probably doesn’t help that it seems like the parts of the concept that Grimes is the most excited by are the parts the girls like the least (like the virtual members and cyber themed lyrics). They definitely needed a strong translator and mediator for this; you can really feel the distance caused by such a strong language barrier and the conversation has so many lulls could’ve been avoided. Big kudos to Giselle for taking the lead with her english and holding her own!

[@ashes898]

​@@mementomori5670omg same it feels super awkward!

[@andreinapereira552]

Grimes obviously got this chance to have an interview with aespa cause she likes them. It's very possible for them to make a music collab in the near future. Just like she said, "Oh it's nepotism." 💀 But tbh, they do have similar concepts in music and music videos. SM won't decline an opportunity with her just as they didn't decline this interview because she's Grimes. 🤷‍♀️

This is very interesting to see how similar the concepts of both Grimes and Aespa is, but how different their paths are in the music industry.

@pruitv3 I am really curious about just how she got 'caught'. If you are actually part of the KZbin Staff, you could get her blocked easily enough, have the account frozen, whatever. But all you did here was try to publically belittle her. That means you are not actually with YT, so if this information of yours is true, you MUST be a HACKER in order to KNOW FOR CERTAIN that this is the same person on an alt account. Time for you to put up or shut up. You don't get to have it both ways. This action right here by you, belittling somebody just to publically embarrass them, makes you look like a troll. Nobody takes you seriously.

There's a lot nervous energy and the feeling of "i wanna be intense and high energy and hype these guys up" which is cute but there's not much behind it. People who converse like this can get so awkward because they talk a lot about themselves but doesn't move the conversation foward with the other parties. Giselle moved a lot of the conversation forward to an actual dialogue instead of just expressing your own thoughts and that's it. Glad they kind of had a script of some sort wherer they seemed to have prepped questions beforehand because this was not a smooth natural flow lol
