My @ on here is a line from a Meat Puppets song. My pfp is the cover of a NoMeansNo album. When I was a teenager I thought it was really cool there was a Snowing song that mentioned listening to At The Drive-In. I would show kids in class Lil Ugly Mane and secretly feel smug knowing they were enjoying a song made by a black metal noise guy. If you're lacking in insight and perspective, completely uncharismatic, or just don't know what to say, bringing up shit people like is a good way to trick them into thinking you're worth talking to.

I went to a small party with like ~cool people~ where no one had the confidence to take control of the music for fear they’d be judged as not cool so someone ~ironically~ put on the high school musical soundtrack. For like an hour. What are we doing folks we’ve lost the plot just put on a nice playlist of songs you like and want to share with your friends. The mortifying ordeal of being known or whatnot.

I was blessed to come of age at a time in which both physical media and streaming were prevalent. One of my friends/neighbors got sent away to a boarding school run by monks in alaska and gave me his crate of CD‘s for safekeeping. this led to a lot of classic hipster /mu albums like in the aeroplane over the sea, oracular spectacular, hospice, gorillaz/demon days/plastic beach (i got rise of the ogre from the library and asked my mom what cunt meant bc it was in the book), the suburbs, the reminder, and bands like TMBG, james blake, eels, sleighbells, etc. I also was one of the only people in my school who loved lana del ray, even after her SNL performance. I had a good friend who i bonded with over born to die and after her death, i further deepened my relationship with lana’s music. She also really liked WHY? and alopecia was a big grief album for me.
I also listened to a lot of rap like the first odd future album, XXX, down from the 36 chambers, ex military (found takyon on youtube and it changed something in me) and most of all good kid MAAD city which i had on CD and blasted in the minivan on the drive to school daily.
The most cringe aspects were my deep love of ska punk and folk punk like defiance ohio, AJJ, reel big fish, but especially streetlight manifesto, who I quoted in my senior yearbook. I don’t listen to ska anymore so that’s why I consider it cringe, it’s so far from who I am now, but if i hear a streetlight song i’ll still know all the words.
Mix CD’s also had a huge impact on my music taste. The cool older hipster kids (these are all people who were unimaginably tumblr famous, especially being from a small town) who got together and created the Royal Mixtape Society. It only happened once, but we all created a mix CD and got a copy of everyone else’s in return. This lead to a lot of incredible discoveries, most of all the “Butts“ mixtape which has been the soundtrack to core memories of me and my best friends.

I was getting off the train and this guy noticed my Van Halen sleeveless tee and was like “cool tank top dude I love Van Halen.” And I was like “thanks man.” And then he was like “do you like Extreme?” (he was wearing a shirt from a band called Extreme). And I said “I’m not too familiar with their music.” And he was like “dude you gotta go listen to their new album, it’s SICK.” And I said “thanks for the rec man” and we fist bumped and it was wholesome. Anyways I got home and listened to Extreme and it wasn’t really my thing.

It's impossible to actually do, but trying to will make you behave in a way that'll be much easier to look back on

It's always dope when a group only has two members. It's more common and a bit less remarkable in typically electronically produced genres, but when it's a more conventional rock band it's fucking dope. Hella, Death From Above 1979, it's fucking sick.

In the canon of great mindnumbingly repetitive songs where the title is the only lyric alongside "Free Speech For The Dumb" by Discharge and "Around The World" by Daft Punk, this one is the best because he ends each repetition with a twisted Joker laugh >:)
