#Has I have indie pop

[judas-isariot]

I don't have bad taste in music. I just listen to absolutely ANYTHING.

I am not an elitist that's all.

I wish I could explain to 17 year old me - who was in the height of her pretentious music phase - that in about 15 years she was going to be a pop girlie.

I think that would shock her more than athe fact that we actually get to medically transition in the future and that's saying something.

I truly have to wonder if anyone who is co-signing that letter has ever been a fan of someone who isn’t Top 40/pop star before in their life. Because a lot of the takes I’m seeing really seem to think the only metric for success is - to be perfectly honest - Harry StylesTM. But there are tons of ways to be a working musician with a supportive fanbase that allows the musician to feel successful.

A lot of the perks that Louis fans enjoy right now, the things they LIKE about Louis, only exist because he ISNT this major star. @crinkle-eyed-boo mentioned in her post meeting him at Rough Trade and YES EXACTLY. Being able to meet him, in fucking person, to be able to have this memory of interacting with him - to hope maybe I made him laugh (I did. I also made him swear so loud people behind me heard 🤣)? I don’t get that with a lot of artists I follow. But I got to have it with Louis.

I get fans want him to play big stadiums or to feel validated when they say “I’m a Louis Tomlinson fan” instead of being met with a blank stare but honestly? It’s everyone else’s loss if they don’t want to listen him.

What I’m trying to say is this: the grass isn’t greener on the other side (there will be things you won’t like if he gets as popular as you want him to be), our metric of success isn’t necessarily Louis’, and at the end of the day Louis’ success and promo is not our responsibility.

Two Truths and a Lie: Playlist

tagged by @darkfictionjude thanks for the tag I'm not nearly annoying enough about the BA playlist as I should be lmaO

Rules: post a poll with three (or more) songs from one of your characters playlists, except there is a catch, one of the songs is not truly on their playlist. Have your followers guess, and when the poll is finished, reveal which song was the fake.

Tbh this was pretty hard because I hardly listen to popular enough songs to do this LMAO I decided to go with Rook since some of the songs on his are a little more well known

Anyway uhhh idk who has character playlists but I tag @if-mirrormine and anyone else who sees this lmaO

gonna throw a sample of the lyrics below for those who don't know the songs!

HAPPY by NF:

I'll be the first to admit that I'm a lonely soul/ And the last to admit I need a hand to hold/ Losing hope, headed down a dangerous road/ Strange, I know, but I feel most at home when I'm/ Living in my agony

Over my Head (Cable Car) by The Fray:

Let's rearrange/ I wish you were a stranger I could disengage/ Just say that we agree and then never change/ Soften a bit until we all just get along/ But that's disregard/ Find another friend and you discard/

icarus by EDEN:

So how you gonna scream my name/ When I gave all I got?/ I've nothing left to give you/ And I'm so burnt out and lost/ 'Cause it all just feels the same/

What if by Safetysuit:

What if it makes you lose faith in me/ And what if makes you question every moment you cannot see/ And what if it makes you crash, and you can't find the key/ And what if it makes you ask how you could let it all go/

✨HEY TUMBLR!! Tomorrow is my birthday!!🎉

Could you do me a solid? All I really want for my birthday is for all the hard work my friends and I have been putting in to our youtube channel to pay off a teensy bit. We're a group of streamers and artists who love to make sillies, and 80% of us are some form of beast or robot!

We have a pretty good catalogue now of both Youtube Shorts and Collab VODs, so if you'd like, take a look at the clip posted below, and if you like us please check us out! It would mean so so so much to me! 💚🐙

I’m thinking about Tylendel Frelynnye’s ipod nano circa 2007

[southern--downpour]

for some reason my brain has very strong opinions on the music tastes of marble hornets characters & bc of this i cannot listen to almost any playlist for em cause theyre all Wrong

[cape-wearing-enigma]

people love to declare a queer musician to be like. quintessential gay people music that’s absolutely life changing and so good and so important with incredible masterful lyricism and then you listen to the artist and their music sounds bad. sometimes the musician doesn’t even have to be queer!

I wish there was a way you could put like. every song in the world on shuffle

“Guitars! More guitars! I will not be honest with myself”

Kiwi Jr. are amongst the wittiest modern indie bands in Canada right now. Go check them out! This song is taken from their debut album Football Money, 2019, and is a short, sweet, punchy record that left us wanting so bad that their second album announcement was a genuine delight to me, as was the news that Subpop Records had signed them (if the name sounds familiar and you’re not sure why, it’s the indie label that signed a ton of 90s alternative bands in the wake of their most successful signing: Nirvana).

Now three albums in, Kiwi jr. are on the up: in only the last year, they’ve played well attended gigs across the European indie circuit, and opened in the states for some mammoths of indie music and their own heroes, Pavement, Dinosaur jr., and also other cool names like Guided By Voices and Sloan. Their most recent third album Chopper sees them lean into darker sounds, while keeping that distinctive Kiwi sound. Get on this band while they’re still small!

people who hate metal and actively talk about how they don't like we get it you're lame as fuck nobody cares
