Miss Anthropocene (released February 21st, 2020) is the fifth studio album by Canadian producer, songwriter, and singer Grimes. Combining the words "misanthrope" (someone who hates people) and "anthropocene" (the proposed name of the epoch of man-made climate change), it is a loose Concept Album about the anthropomorphic goddess of climate change, each track corresponds to a different aspect of human extinction or a "demon" that plagues modern society. Recorded from 2017-2019, she wanted to make climate change "more fun" instead of just "abstract doom" by anthropomorphizing it into a character. Additionally, she wanted to explore "artistic villainy" since she felt she had been villainized by media publications who spread falsehoods about her, citing characters such as Thanos and the Joker as inspirations for embracing a "villainous" role. The album was preceded by the singles "Violence" with producer i_o, "So Heavy I Fell Through The Earth," "My Name Is Dark," "4AM," and "Delete Forever." Genre-wise it is consideredThe album was met with a generally positive reception from critics, though some criticized its concept for being too murky.

Genre Roulette: The album crosses Dark Wave, Industrial, Nu Metal, Alternative Dance, Hip-Hop, and Techno. "Delete Forever" stands out especially an electro-country song complete with banjo and fiddle-playing.

Epic Rocking: "IDORU" is seven minutes and Grimes' longest song to date. "So Heavy," "My Name Is Dark," and "IDORU" all have shortened "Algorithm Mixes" due to the vinyl's spacial restrictions.

Shout-Out: "New Gods" is named after the series by Jack Kirby. "Bullet With Butterfly Wings" by The Smashing Pumpkins is referenced on "My Name Is Dark." Grimes reads The Art Of War in the "Violence" video, though it ended up having to be censored.

comment
Alternate Album Cover: Multiple. There's the vinyl cover, which Grimes describes as the program the Gods use to design the simulation. The deluxe version of this one shows Miss A using it on a stone computer. The streaming versions are paintings by artist Rupid Leejm (commissioned by Grimes), white Razor Wings for the standard, teal-gray regular wings for the deluxe. Originally the vinyl covers were on streaming, but Grimes felt that the effect was lost due to the covers being so small on streaming platforms, making the text on it hard to read.
