ok im tired of bothering my friends abt music they don't care abt and this is basically enough of a void to talk abt shit in so! for people that actually vibe w the music I like, welcome, please recommend me stuff.

some of my playlists:

not very many atm, but will probably grow idk. generally I gravitate towards a more punk aesthetic, but it varies.

some of my favorite artists:

▪︎pinkshift

▪︎my chemical romance (im gay)

▪︎streetlight manifesto

▪︎alkaline trio

▪︎bayside

▪︎destroy boys

▪︎the distillers

and a lot more. while these are pretty basic "favorite bands," I do listen to more obscure artists, I just don't consider them "favorites" in terms of bands lol.

but ya basically this will just be me talking abt music 🗿 sorry

oh, you were an electra heart middle schooler? i was a family jewels middle schooler. we are not the same. (family jewels is and always will be more iconic than electra heart sorry not sorry)

#Spotify

the '59 sound is one of the most iconic albums of all time, idc if it didn't have much of a cultural impact, anytime any of the songs on that album play I BURST INTO TEARS I love the gaslight anthem they need more attention but also no bc I want to gatekeep my favorite bands 💔💔

crying bc alkaline trio, streetlight manifesto, rise against, bayside, the flogging mollys, AND pinkshift are all on tour and I can't see ANY OF THEM!!!!! AGONY!!!!!!

snoppy

been on a glass animals kick recently, how to be a human being is one of the greatest albums of all time and I'll stand by that

#Spotify

been really into pinkshift lately, found them a while ago and then bayside shared some of their songs!! it was really cool to see :)

this is prob my favorite song of theirs, that last little bass solo is just mwah amazing. I also really like Mars:

although the vocals are. strange. the music? gorgeous, i really love their guitarist. the lead singer has amazing vocals like 9/10 times, but the performance in this one just feels different? it's weird, idk how to describe it. I think it works for the chorus, but the beginning is jarring and doesn't fit imo. still a bangin song tho fr

Psycho Killer covered by The Wrecks

I actually really like this cover!! I was torn at first (covers are really hit or miss, they're either really good or fucking suck, and this one was really good!) While obviously it will never live up to the OG Talking Heads version, it's a pretty nice contender! 8/10

#Spotify

forgot how good give it all is. time is a circle, the only constant is coming back to rise against and somehow being surprised at how bangin their music is

#Spotify

it's crazy how badly people can misinterpret music and it's meaning. it's very much like the Bible, I know that in my family, I grew up in the punk scene. I never really understood what that meant until later, but the 2 sides of the "punk" scene are those that are ACTUALLY punk, and those that use that label as an excuse for their bigotry and hatred. there is no room for blind hatred in punk, especially towards people and causes that don't deserve it.

anyways, as I was saying, misinterpretation. both of my parents were very liberal in their youth, they believed in freedom and standing up against oppression. however, as they grew older, they began to twist the words of the bands they grew up with. they took the causes these people scream about for change and used them for the wrong reason. that also ties in with how people use the bible and scripture these days. I myself am not religious, but I grew up religious, and in the south especially, it's not something you can escape. hypocrisy is everywhere, and in such small communities, its difficult for people to even fathom that what they grew up with is wrong. does that excuse their actions and hatred? absolutely not, but it provides a reason for it. but yea anyways sorry I go on tangents. my parents yes. ok. yea they still listen to bands like Rise Against and ignore the message in the music. it's sad. they're so close to the point and yet they miss it.

anyways, sorry abt the tangent, I just listen to songs that remind me of my mother sometimes and I'm just blown away by the hypocrisy she was so blind to. some of her favorite songs are by Rise Against and Against Me! she's a conservative and transphobic. Laura's music is not for her. it's infuriating. how are u gonna listen to a song very clearly anti-war and advocating for the protection of immigrants and still be racist 😐 ALSO SHES MIXED HOW ARE YOU RACIST BITCH THATS HALF OF YOU?????? "build the wall!!!" bestie??? you understand that your MEXICAN COUSINS IN MEXICO can see your posts right??? fucking dumbass. anyways. goodnight <3

anyways first song to start this off with

Hatef--k by The Bravery

thoughts:

ok so this was in my discover weekly and holy shit this song bangs so hard wtf

the bg music isn't the classic guitar/drums/rough punk kind of deal but it's really really cool? very original, at least imo. I feel like it rly adds to the overall tone of the song. also, love the vocals. lately I've been in a rut where I'll find a song w bangin music but the vocalist is annoying as fuck. hate to break it to emo bands, but the nasally voice that seems to have a chokehold on the genre IS THE FUCKING WORST and makes your otherwise enjoyable song unlistenable.

I literally cannot stand the nasal voice people do I understand that it's a staple of the genre but I was never big into the classic emo bands BC of that voice it's so fucking baddfggffhffh please just sing normally then I would actually listen to ur shit

ok moving on, second song

R/Edgelord by JER

honestly bc of the vocals (reason above) I was torn on this track, but in the end it wormed its way into my head. extremely catchy and very fun, lots of ska influences (big fan). the little cooldown between verses where it's just a simple little guitar pluck is a really nice touch, adds a super cool vibe to the song and gives you time to absorb everything you just listened to. I feel like I should start rating these. ok this one gets a..... 6.5/10, it would get a 7 but the vocal style still annoys me just enough. also as much as I love ska punk, when it leans too far in the "proper" ska direction it just feels too weak 😔😔 part of the reason streetlight is one of the few ska bands I actually like (also rocket from the crypt) (hatef--k gets a........ honestly on the relisten I reallllyyy fucking love this song its very nostalgic somehow. probably a 9/10 bc FUCK!!!!!!!)

3rd song fr 💯💯

Dangerous Blues by The Young Veins

"wow this sounds so much like ryan ross lol that's so cool" *checks credits*

how does mr. ross keep finding me and taking over my favorite song spots. not ok sir, please share. anyways I, of course, I my youth was a p!atd stannie (v&v, p.o., and afycso still BANG I don't wanna HEAR IT when I post my spotify wrapped at the end of the year I don't want yall COMING FOR ME when patd is in my top 10 I can't help that ryan ross is a fucking musical genius) and therefore the era I was obsessed with has manipulated my music taste in a cruel way. therefore anything by mr. ross is angelic in nature. all of his side projects inevitably find me by surprise and become the thing I play on repeat for the next month. (the brobecks, the young veins, etc.) therefore I obviously adore this song and everything about it. ITS JUST SO GOOD. 9.5/10, not his best work but perfect nonetheless.

4th 😩

Cadillac Car by Playboy Manbaby

not the most lyrically or sonically impressive but. it's fun! sometimes that's all u need. I like the vibes. vocals are very satisfying, scratches the right place in my brain. I don't have a lot to say abt this song but it's fun to have play in the car with your windows down. 8/10! I also like the exaggeration the singer has in their voice.

song. 5

I Don't Wanna Die by The Unicorns

I feel like this is cheating. I've been obsessed w this song for YEARS. how I found it? if u know u know. but that doesn't change the fact that this song was on REPEAT 6th-10th grade for me fr fr‼️‼️ maybe even before that! anyways I fucking love this song and The Unicorns in general, highly recommend. 10/10, I gotta. the visceral reaction I get from listening to this song is unbeatable. idk if it's the nostalgia but I go absolutely FERAL. THE BREATH IN AT THE END UHG ITS UNBEATABLE oh my god

anyways I don't want to type anymore so I guess it's gonna be like 5 songs from my discover weekly every week or smth idk!! or just whatever the fuck I want 😎 gaming
