what music I think rotbtd + frozen would listen to āĖļ½” ā
i dont write fic, i barely do fanart but i WILL be sharing my music hcs on rotbfd. ā this was inspo from a tiktok i saw and i had to just share my own too !
thinking about the type of music they listen to is my favorite ever because the music world is vast and i think it's silly ^_^ !!! gonna give them silly names and then elaborate. perhaps ill make a playlist, perhaps not, but the visions are there. I listen to almost everything I've listed, on the radio, in passing, and very, very favorably. In short, I will actually listen to just about anything; those are my credentials.
Elsa ā hiding behind 'oldies and classics', older sister who definitely had an angsty-almost-emo-goth-phase but her parents said no
jazz (simplified)
firm believer that she listens to jazz, studying, background noise when a room is too quiet, or to set a sweet mood. ā Billie Holiday, Julie London, Chet Baker, Amy Winehouse, Dusty Springfield, and Nina Simone
rock (simplified genre name, think pop, soft, etc)
I really dont think I have to elaborate, just imagine this starting as a teen or young girl, shes listening to music on the radio or whatever, and it just clicks ā Stevie Nicks/Fleetwood Mac, The Cranberries, The Cardigans, Paramore?
rock (PART 2 )
this ones specifically fun for me. Elsa most definitely had teenage angst and dabbled in many other alternative genres. Specifically orchestral and melancholic, I think she had a soft spot for Amy Lee and other women in the rock/alt scene ā Evanescence, flyleaf, Paramore (brand new eyes, all we know is falling, definitely loved Hayley Williams ' solo albums).
* I think its funny if elsa had considered dyeing her hair to match Hayley Williams and Amy Lee, she also rationally talked herself out of it. They never forget elsas almost-sort of emo phase.
honorable mentions !!
Sade 'kiss of life', honestly any 90's pop/r&b artists too (like the vision, shes driving or cleaning or literally just singing and she's gorjus), Fiona Apple, joan baez, buffy saint marie and overall a folky sound, NOUVELLE VAGUE, i love them and fully agree she would love the sound, perhaps Mazzy Star/Hope Sandoval and the Warm Inventions, Beach House
Anna ā magazine-reading and quiz-taking girl who was definitely influenced by her older sister AND can liven up a room too
pop (simplified)
I really dont think I have to explain myself here either, but if Anna were a young girl, preteen, whatever, her introduction to pop music was truly like many others in the broad area of (teen/dance) pop music ā One Direction, Katy Perry, Maroon 5, Gwen Stefani
* i know she dont play about her boybands AND she was a harry girl. RIP anna, you would've loved big time rush too, kendall wouldve also been ur boy.
pop (also simplified)
goes without saying, elsa's influence to what anna listens to is present, they're sisters <3 I can see them bonding over these, but wholeheartedly are anna's just as much as her sisters (in some ways) so pop with disco/dance, pop rock/punk and just overall very fun or artsy sounding too ā ABBA, Bee Gees, Blondie, Paramore, The Cardigans, shes so love grows where my rosemary goes
honorable mentions !!
Harry Styles (she was def there for every era), Britney Spears, Spice Girls, Avril lavigne, Olivia Rodrigo, Lady Gagita, Bruno Mars
* i know she was there when they disbanded her life was over for a minute. she dont play abt her boys,
Merida ā cool girl who swears she's not basic just because it's not 'radio mushy slop' (her artists are still hitting high numbers, AND are 'mushy')
alternative/indie/rock
i wont lie, i lowk struggled here, but trust me, its just a gut feeling...this is all about the wind in her hair and a good time ā BIG JOANIE, The Cranberries, Gorillaz, No Doubt, Paramore (riot), Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins!!! Hole
folk/rock
slow paces, lyrical, and somewhat cozy, and if it's not, it's just right to her. its comforting but also just slows down the vibe ā Tracy Chapman, Big Joanie, Mazzy Star, Joan Baez, Peter Paul and Mary,
honorable mentions !!
Florence the Machine (just from what I've seen), Sonic Youth, Joni Mitchell, Alanis Morissette? The Sundays, i think she'd have a soft spot for a sweet-sounding band, especially with association to her friends, maybe? Kate Bush, Imogen Heap. blackbox recorder, broadcast
Rapunzel ā sweet and classic, also indie and artsy, everyone can tell what she likes, a gift and a curse.
indie/pop (simplified)
Rapunzel, in her bedroom, no matter the age, drawing, painting, crafting, reading, it doesn't matter, she's got the perfect sound to sing along to or zone to. It's all very cutesy and fun, she doesn't care about basic or underground, and even if they make fun, she's having fun ā Clairo, Beabadoobee, Carpenters, sheās so come on eileen
pop/rock (simplified)
i imagine her jumping around or vibing out. These are just her artists, even when they're sentimental, that's it, like there's not much to be said. ā The Cardigans, ABBA, The Beatles, Alanis Morissette, too, PARAMORE, SHE LOVED AFTER LAUGHTER!!! perchance also a mazzy stan .. sheās also sooo sixpence the richer so kiss me
honorable mentions !!
Father John Misty, PinkPantheress, and yes, also a One Direction fan(i dont know the albums but trust ... she and anna twins), 5SOS too(idk if they had eras mb). THE GOOGOODOLLS?? Laufey, Britney Spears, Stevie Wonder, Ariana Grande... like she followed her after Victorious was through... Troye Sivan, Conan Gray, she has a knack for sticking by youtube musicians who then blow up, Bruno Mars joni mitchell maybe even dolly parton
Jack ā go ahead, put him on aux, it's a mess, he dont know how to curate, songs always on repeat, nostalgia is NOT a personality trait...
gonna be fr i dont care to categorize, that's how messy it is, and I'm not doing honorable mentions or "maybes" he for sure has it in the million hour ong spotify playlist
he's nostalgic, no one can tell if he's being ironic or not. he cant either. All he knows is the song's good (he will say the gang's songs are trash and add them to his playlist later or already has it saved) he definitely would be into 90s, 2000's r&b/pop, and other popular rock bands/singers ā Blur, Gorillaz, The Strokes, the white stripes, Justin Timberlake, N'Sync, Pet Shop Boys, Usher, Nelly, and you can't tell me not bc i've put it into the universe so its real (and it makes me laugh). Kid Cudi 'up up and away', Bruno Mars for every era, and tyler the Creator, Elton John, and David Bowie. The TikTok that inspired this said Tupac, the more I think about it, sure, why not, I know when Kendrick Lamar dropped PRIDE, he sat his white ass down and listened with a hiccup, George Harrison? maybe the beatles
* He watched Trolls, talking out my butt, but the visions there and i think im right
Hiccup ā grew up around dad music and now he has the music palette of a divorced dad and stereotypical loser teenage boy music
alternative/rock
its not always dad music, I'm generalizing... BUT hes def got a sound he likes. It just feels right, gut feeling n all. ā GREEN DAY, Nirvana, Radiohead, Weezer, Lenny Kravitz, Smashing Pumpkins, AC/DC, I know he listened to āthe boyā by the smashing pumpkins ! linkin park, kiss, gorillaz(specifically early music), sonic youth, the cranberries, THE WHO. feel like he really would eff w chromakopia. george harrison??
honorable mentions !!
He's probably like jack. Maybe not so much a jt stan, maybe not into N'Sync, but i know he was influenced by jack, or they co-influenced each other from their parents' taste in music. Skillet (side note, hiccup is wolf art howling at the moon, tearing up the shirt.) REDHOT CHILPERPPERS ! I def think heād dabble in other genres
astrid ā she is a big Nirvana and Hole fan, no doubt, definitely, Alanis Morissette, Amy Winehouse. gwen stefani luxurious makes its round, falloutboy, def had a p!atd phase and now unrelenting one-sided beef w urie,
eugene ā Usher, Childish Gambino. it just makes sense tbhness, coldplay, perchance also definitely Goo Goo Dolls. Kiss? thoughts opinions?. He's probably into stevie wonder too. thee sacred souls. redhot chili peppers
* him and rapunzel matching Stevie and Goo Goo, maybe even Coldplay.
kristoff ā idk artists for him, but something about "more than a feeling" "dont stop believing" "dont dream its over" elvis? otis redding? bob dylan.
anna put all the girls onto 1D, no one was allowed to have the same fav member, she called dibs on harry, punzie cursed the wind, and the girls followed after.
elsa, merida and astrid, imo, bond the most about music they are in a way at different stages or branches of growing up with teenage angst as eldest daughters/only daughters. hiccups cool, they let him in every once in while
jack also raised on his parents' radio. and on that note, he gets along with just about anyone in terms of music, i doubt he's ever picky and he'll shit on hated genres like country but he's tapping along
jack and Eugene (hiccup) ⦠white boys w a lil bit of sauce
i def couldve added more but i fear this is too long, too repetitive and so long as the girls were taken care of its done...
