I'll make this short: The flame has died out. At least to me.
I just don't have the same interest or excitement in DG as I did before. I'll admit it and say that I only listened to Jenny Death once and I didn't really like it. I haven't even bothered with BP. I remember I used to be excited about everything Death Grips. I remember when Exmilitary had just come out and I would listen to it everyday. I remember checking out every forum for information. Not anymore.
Anyway how is everybody doing?

Yea I'm with you. Exmilitary got me hooked, I didn't listen to anything else for over a month. Then I listened to every song on every other album and I don't like any of it. I'll still listen to Exmilitary, but no other albums, to me, has been worth it.

I agree, though I'm yet to find a reason to stop listening to them or enjoying their work. The hype kind of died out for me around the time of NoTM and Inanimate Sensation. I'm not usually one who's nostalgic over a bands older work, though I do feel they lack that element obscurity which was so attractive to me in the first place. That being said, I absolutely love the second half of Jenny Death, Nick Reinharts guitar adds an element of melancholy which perfectly summed up my feelings towards the band at the time. Part of me wishes they would go hermit like post-NLDW, though I know it wouldn't nearly be the same. That post on r/deathgrips about Jenny Death being their swan song makes perfect sense to me. It would have been such a fitting end, or start of a hiatus.
I miss when fans didn't use internetisms.
I miss checking a2b2.org and Twitter every day for updates.
I miss the TTW forums.
I miss scouring the internet.
I miss the scarcity of their merch.
I miss the calculated anarchy.
In the end I really think internet hype culture killed them. Us fans were rabid, and truly damaging to the bands image and character. At times I almost feel embarrassed to be a Death Grips fan.
That being said, I know Stefan, Zach and Andy are moving onto bigger, better things. I just wish they would do so under a different name, even if it was a simple change from Death Grips to Death Grips 2.0.
