Im a FIRM beliver that we need to start using folkloric/traditional music for ships and animatics!!!!!
today i was listening to some 1920/30s tango, and these men were composing CRAAAZY bangers for the women they liked and suffering over that shit non-stop. they wrote about typical run of the mill heartbreak, obsessive eros, devastating poverty, straight up insanity and so on. AND ALLLL OF THOSE SONGS WERE EPIC, broadway-musical-climax level epic.
just cause they arent in english DOESNT excuse why we dont make "balada para un loco" inspired fics for toxic ships between two crazy characters. gawd, ive seen many of you using french parisian shit for your animanics (no offence if you grew up with that cus ur french or whatever). BUT!, in case you really mind the language barrier: WHAT'S STOPING YOU FROM MAKING AN ANIMATIC WITH BLUES CLASSIC??? OR MAYBE SOUL MUSIC!?? JAZZ!!!!?? yall can pick and choose, AMERICANS!
you have an endless list of music with wonderful story telling, great composition and really interesting unique themes you rarely find on contemporary western pop music.. ALL FOR YOU TO USE AND ABUSE, SWEETY. and im saying this as someone who is just knowledgeable in SOME latino (specifically argentinian and uruguayan) classics and blues.
this is obviously a product of eurocentrism, but we all are autistic woke tumblr users with an interest for niche art and fandom. we can do better.
start listening to more music!, find new genre!!!, find out what music is indigenous or traditional in your region. learn about local artists! i promise it s so fun AND youll have more tracks to add to your yaoi playlist.
