Well, this calls for a toast: to Punk and Emo 🤘

the genres we turn to when feeling our deepest vulnerabilities; when times are a little too tough and screaming into our pillow just isn’t doing it anymore. for the anti-establishment crowd, the dreamers who never stop rebelling. these are some of the punk and emo artists tumblr users turn to for emotional confession 🖤

You can’t stop the groove of Janelle Monáe 🪩

a genre-bending artist, tumblr-fave singer-songwriter, rapper, and actress Janelle Monáe blends afro funk and R&B with intricate orchestral arrangements like no other. with lyrics often nodding towards nonconformity, Monáe captures what it means to live joyously without inhibitions.

And I got to keep it true, and I got to see it through...

Coming off back-to-back releases of "Machete Summer" and "Is Loving Really Bad?", NYC-native musical artist Liim shares with Tumblr the creative inspiration behind his recent music, how he was first introduced to blogging, and what the summer season has in store. Read below ⬇️ and if you haven't already, check out the music video for "R.I.P Peace" filled with childhood and internet nostalgia.

Tumblr: You just released your new song “Machete Summer” along with a performance with Colors Studios. Can you tell us about the creative inspiration behind this project?

Liim: The inspiration behind this song comes from me reminiscing on my youth. I was outside whalin every single day and I don’t miss it but I appreciate it. Also the song is about seeing someone I grew up with chase someone with a machete down Amsterdam Ave.

Tumblr: Your music video for “R.I.P Peace” was inspired by Blood Orange’s “Champagne Coast.” Are there any other artists who have had a significant impact on you throughout your career?

Liim: I’d say Andre 3000 and Stevie Wonder have had the biggest influence on how I see music. They are my top 1 artists side by side. 

Tumblr: You’re very active on your blog and through it have built a distinct visual identity. How did you get started on Tumblr, and how do you now use it for self-expression and community connection?

Liim: A friend of mine put me on to Tumblr and I just liked that I could post stuff nobody else would see on my main accounts, more exclusive if you know you know kinda vibe.

Tumblr: Later this summer, you’ll be performing at All Points East festival in London amongst a lineup of some great names in music, including fellow Tumblr artist Sade Olutola. How do you typically prepare for a performance like this? What are you looking forward to the most?

Liim: You know I should probably prepare more from my performances but I tend to do like one or two rehearsals and wing it most of the time. I always land on my feet tho.

Be sure to follow Liim on Tumblr for more music updates!

Heyyy!! Okay little blog moment here, this is a photo Kat took of me to go on my merch website, (this one isn’t actually going on there though it’s just for fun hehe) OKAY so the tea is as follows:

I like this boy, I went on a date with the boy, but his replies are SLOW and I just feel like he’s not excited to talk to me guys 😭 has me questioning myself and everything, anyway he told me today that he’s got a roster of girls he’s talking too WHICH is FINE! We’re all young and lit right, but that shit hurt my feelings because he had my undivided attention 😭 I liked him sm omds. Anyways I’m meant to let that shit go right ? I feel like this isnt healthy, or do I just keep seeing him but I develop a roster as well 😭😭😭

A lot has changed in my life but I still get the same goosebumps when I see a line for my show or my name on a marquee. I walked around alone in this city at berklee singer songwriter 2 week camp and manifested so fucking hard and so hopelessly for this shit

I can hear the canyon call my name… Orville Peck 🎭

tumblr’s favorite cowboy takes us on a journey through the North American badlands with every crooning melody, twangy guitar pluck, and psychedelic influence. with lyrics embodying the lonesome, wayfaring, romantic outlaw, Peck reclaims and reshapes the hyper-masculine landscape of western country music through a queer lens, seamlessly bridging musical genres in the process. hop in your truck and let the melancholy take you home.

She’s twisting, shapeshifting on a Saturday night…

no stranger to tumblr, singer-songwriter Avery Cochrane talks about the inspiration behind "Toy Gun", an unreleased new demo that she's sharing exclusively with tumblr. Check it out below ⬇️ and be sure to follow Avery for more music updates!

"I wrote this song about the freedom of leaving a relationship that was emotionally draining. To me, acting “toughened with a toy gun” means assuming the role of the brave and secure partner, despite being unsure of the relationship yourself."
