Test / pilot post.
Emo, screamo.
Only 1,336 plays on last.fm and I'm a big chunk of that... surely deserves more.

My band mwah haha we came out with a new song last week. Our first single! If you like shoegaze, chilling and being cool, and female airy emo-ish vocals listen!

Shameless self promo. Been working on tracking my next release which is an LP that should be (hopefully) out before the end of this year. If you like dream pop, post-punk revival, jangle pop, math rock, and garage rock, this might be ur cup of tea. A good chunk of the music was written when I was in middle school/high school except for my EP Never Better, which was written when I was a freshman/sophmore in college with my old bandmates (my first collaborative release!). I honestly cringe listening to my old music now but I guess that just means Iβve become a better songwriter. The new songs sound so different and I canβt wait to share them. In the meantime, Iβd check out Too Close for Comfort, D-emo, and Slow Days.

I HATE doing promo with a PASSION (unless it's the fun kind where I make silly teaser videos that actually take effort) but I just put out a song! Started making it in December last year but just finished it last month for a school project. It's really influenced by Parannoul's 'To See the Next Part of the Dream' and Jane Remover's 'Frailty' as well as other things. Vocals are a bit rough since I'm not a great singer but other than that I'm pretty happy with it!

πPossibly if you were on a stricter, parent-controlled and technology-restricted diet, you might have to replicate that by forcing breaks between episodes, only playing the album at home (no portables). Just a hypothesis I have, not tested.
Otherwise, acknowledging that now you are more keenly developed, you need more acute stimuli. I suppose as a kid, stories were far more foreign and therefore wondrous, but having grown up, it's all been seen and so the stories have lost some lustre? In that case, best to seek more complex, nuanced stories and engage with them more purposefully to really extract inspiration ("meaning"). On my end, I've been writing on Goodreads and rym. Is this "cheating" by "forcing" a sense of wonder? Only to the extent that you don't see it as something you'd like to do. Otherwise, it's just an adult version of doodling your favourite heroes fighting their nemeses, play acting, etc. Analysis of this kind is only cold and incompatible with the warmth of imagination if conducted with academic rigidity (in fact even then, I might disagree ... haven't fully settled my thoughts on that).
