The comparison works on a few levels:
**The core idea:** Both women are figures who were once considered edgy, unconventional, or avant-garde in their respective worlds, but over time became so omnipresent and self-consciously "quirky" that they transformed into a kind of parody of the very aesthetic they helped define.
Sarah Jessica Parker was genuinely countercultural in some ways early on — but eventually became synonymous with a very *performed* version of bohemian New York femininity (Sex and the City, the maximalist fashion, the horse face jokes), where the "quirky" branding felt more like a carefully managed persona than anything genuinely strange.
Grimes similarly built her reputation on being a genuinely weird, DIY, bedroom-producer outsider — making abrasive, uncategorizable music and presenting herself as almost feral in her artistic authenticity. But over time, especially through her relationship with Elon Musk, her increasingly elaborate public persona (the AI art, the elf lore, the baby names), and her music becoming more polished and mainstream-adjacent, she started to feel like someone *cosplaying* their own former weirdness.
**The "darling" angle matters too.** Both women were heavily beloved and championed by a specific cultural class — critics, tastemakers, a certain kind of aspirational woman — which gave them a kind of untouchable status for a while. That protected status is part of what makes the eventual backlash feel so sharp when it comes.
Essentially the statement is saying: Grimes is someone who *used to represent* something genuine in alt pop, but has since become a mascot of that thing rather than an embodiment of it.
