trying to concisely explain my thoughts on why i as an aroace person enjoy comedy music so much, and i think it mostly just boils down to enjoying being entertained, and being entertained in a very positive and unique way, plus being able to appreciate when the music itself is also good and enjoyable to listen to, with or without the words, and bonus points if it’s about something that ISN’T JUST ANOTHER SONG ABOUT ROMANCE OR SEX
examples! some of my favorite comedy song topics i've stumbled upon over the years include but are not limited to:
- what happens plotwise in the tens of sequels following up the film jurassic park in another universe (made known by piercing the veil between realities with the power of a fever dream), including space and robots and space robot dinosaurs
- a medieval king releasing the kraken to fight for him in his war but the kraken does absolutely nothing helpful to anyone
- the saga of a guy who Does Not Work Here in various situations that progressively get more dire
- the inner thoughts of a chronic mind-wanderer and their subsequent panicking at being completely lost in a one-sided conversation while on a first date
