Grimes Eats Edible, Releases Playlist of Nu-Apocalyptic Songs

Grimes has released a Spotify playlist of her favorite songs at the moment, along with new artwork and a statement about the collection, which she wrote after eating an edible.

In the caption of her Instagram post, Grimes explains that she's tried to keep the playlist to mostly artists "who write or produce their own shit. Artists I feel a kinship towards in some capacity." She also reveals the formation of a new subgenre of music she's begun, the "Fae," or the music of the "nu apocalypse."

She writes: "The fae are the children living at the end of the world, who make art that reflects what its like to live knowing the earth may not sustain humanity much longer. We live knowing that environmentally driven genocide is nigh, that the least equipped are to be struck down by the very earth itself. Repentance by the innocent for the sins of the rich."

Starting a Spotify playlist. K had an edible before writing this so ... its gonna be meandering--------------------- In any case -- obvis missing a lot of artists/ songs on here but I plan to rotate it semi regularly, and for now trying to stick to recent ish releases --------------------- Description: songs i love.. tryin' to stick to independent artists, not always possible tho, and gnerally artists who write or produce their own shit. Artists I feel a kinship towards in some capacity. its a good energy for gaming or drawing in particular ------------------------------- Also creating my own genre cuz ppl always ask what my genre is. theres more to it, but this is the first paragraph of my manifesto haha ------------------------------------ "The fae are the children living at the end of the world, who make art that reflects what its like to live knowing the earth may not sustain humanity much longer. We live knowing that environmentally driven genocide is nigh, that the least equipped are to be struck down by the very earth itself. Repentance by the innocent for the sins of the rich. This does not mean that all fae art is directly about this, but that the influence of this reality is inescapable for the fae" @purityring @hanatruly and @nicoledollanganger have already joined me in our nu apocalypse subgenera link in bio
