Was a Grimes' communist persona a fever dream? Why is the internet upset at her dating billionaire imperialist Elon Musk? Should we even care about these topics? Today's video is a long overdue look at one of our problematic faves: Grimes.

First of all, Grimes' communist persona is under attack, by none other than Grimes herself. She recently tried to "debunk" on TikTok "the media narrative" that she was ever a communist. And we need to debunk Grimes' narrative about debunking "the narrative." Mainly because she was the one that created the Grimes' communist persona. 

In this video we will first discuss how Grimes' communist persona was carefully cultivated through out her career. And how it was Grimes that self-identified as such on social media. 

Secondly, we will discuss how dating Elon Musk exposed who she really is. For many people this was the beginning of the downfall of both Grimes' likability and her communist persona. And most importantly, is this even our business to be discussing? I'll let you know why I think it's fair, given the way Grimes' has managed her aesthetic throughout her career. 

Lastly, we take a closer look at a more significant issue that's at the core of Grimes' communist persona: rich people pretending to be poor for the aesthetic. How can this happen? Why do rich people want to talk about their struggle, and why do they feel like they don't have enough?
