and like we all know there’s no one truly like her, that’s a given. finding someone on the same plane as her is not easy.
i’m sure you already know to look to sega bodega and arca for her heavier, boundary pushing side. and hannah diamond for the bubblegum on steroids side.
saya gray is a good match, if not the best match, experimentally imo. not as intense and in-your-face but just as interesting.
you might also really like some 90’s- early 2000s björk and early fka twigs in terms of production sound.
a little bit more out there is kill alters… however a lot of their earlier catalogue is like more ambient and industrial territory.
maybe the more experimental bits of rosalía’s motomami?
i hope some of these help </3

i think you would like the feminine complex. a band from the 60s who were ahead of their time in some ways so it may satisfy the vintage craving of yours.
in terms of tone, you may also really enjoy newdad. the song blue in particular gives me immunity vibes in a way.
kate bollinger also blends the vintage and pensive pop worlds really well, so check her out if you haven't already. yards and gardens + who am i but someone are great tracks to start with.
mind shrine often have a silky 60s/70s thing going on
i feel like i remember her playing some wendy & bonnie on an nts set of hers once! i recommend the song five o clock in the morning!
hey there lonely boy by ruby and the romantics maybe isn't as clairo adjacent as the other recs, but a solid gold oldie for sure!

I‘ve been wanting to get more into hyperpop-y, experimental pop, psychedelic pop, and electronic-pop type music but I have no clue where to start, I’m willing to give anything a listen:)
some artists i like that fit into those genres already: rebecca black, charli, mag bay, FKA twigs, she’s green, tanuki-chan, caroline loveglow, getting into imogen heap

started writing this a few hours ago when i first saw this ask, then decided against posting but i've since changed my mind. there really is no justification for it outside of entitlement. even from a selfish lens, there's no long term benefit to its usage. it harms the world and culture in more ways than one.
a.) the water and energy usage that isn't a secret at this point. "no ethical consumption under capitalism" yadda yadda and yeah corporations are extremely culpable in the state of the environment but there really is no need for chatgpt and the planet is already too delicate at the moment.
b.) the exploitation of workers in the global south. this program is not just a computer figuring it all out, there are in fact humans behind it. it reminds me of the acceptance of fast fashion and how people have the tendency to divorce the idea of the garment worker from the garment they wear when all clothing is handmade in some way, shape or form. you need hands to man a sewing machine, you need human eyes to moderate content. also, content moderation can be a thankless job with psychological repercussions.
c.) the erosion of social skills, humanity and media literacy...this one is very personal. like, you have a cushy email job but can't write an email? you need a computer and a worker in kenya to get paid a dollar an hour to figure out a daily routine for you? i've seen the program churn out blatantly incorrect information. fine tuning a prompt or chat or whatever to give you the exact (possibly incorrect) answer you need isn't really that much less work than sharpening your research skills by cracking open a dictionary or using boolean search keys in google. again, the main issue with this kind of stuff is the entitlement to convenience, with no thought towards the repercussions within and outside of us. we are losing major recipes (critical thinking and media literacy) here, people!
i probably did an iffy job are coherently articulating my thoughts here but i am in fact, human. and that’s the beauty of it all.
