Ok so. A punk, an emo, a goth, a scene, and a ska walk into a bar, it’s not a bar. It’s a kitchen. Because they’re all having a sleepover and playing go fish and need snacks to gamble with

Extremely extremely heartbroken to hear about the passing of Gregory Lee, lead vocalist for Hepcat. I still remember the first time I ever heard them, it was love at first song. While I never got to see them perform live, I have watched this video to put an instant smile on my face. Gregory's smile and voice is like chicken soup for the soul. Here's to you Gregory, thanks for making us smile.

im sorry im sorry imsorry im sorrr but we gotta be cautious around anyone too much into military* (even if isn't that military or that period), AND also if anyone was a little too much into traditionality! going farther than just celebrating culture to a more malicious twist.

i mean, the fandom has proved stupid enough—ignores obvious shit from someone that isn't even trying to hide—that i don't think that's too crazy to imagine that someone could start with innocuos things and then frog-boiling-in-water to "retvrn" bullshitery, racism, anti-immigration and white supremacy 😬

*perhaps i'd would have been more suspicious of hima's first storyline if i was older ha-ha-ha *cough attack*... if i was older back then maybe i wouldn't have become a fan, maybe: i partially had to learn to look into this shit bc of being in the fandom...

my most indulgent thought is about making a newsletter where i just tell you what i’ve been listening to this month. i could do that on here too but i get embarrassed about it for some reason and i also worry ill get repetitive about certain songs or artists which is silly! “oh no did i mention this song already” maybe you did so what its good! anyway i was going to recommend a few songs in this post and then started naming like fifty things so im not going to do that right now <3 i am working on something for the music year as a whole but it might end up being LENGTHY but hopefully the format of it makes it easier to check out and pick things from without being a whole playlist because while i like making playlists i don’t know if anyone listens to them all at once and i know i myself have a hard time listening to playlists all at once even when i want to. well! thats all thanks

every gay friend group has: the repressed academic, the ska loving "brawn", the formerly mean girl psychic, the match making anime fan, the astrology lover, the lesbian butcher/reluctant big sister, the sexy cat with nine lives, the walrus who runs a magic shop and the local witch who wants to kill everyone

Smash Mouth - All Star 1999

"All Star" is a song by the American rockband Smash Mouth, released as the first single from their second studio album, Astro Lounge (1999). It was one of the last tracks to be written for Astro Lounge, after the band's record label Interscope requested more songs that could be released as singles. In writing it, guitarist Greg Camp drew musical influence from contemporary music by artists like Sugar Ray and Third Eye Blind, and sought out to create an "anthem" for outcasts. In contrast to the more ska punk style of Smash Mouth's debut album Fush Yu Mang (1997), the song features a more radio-friendly style.

It received generally positive reviews from music critics, who praised its musical progression from Fush Yu Mang as well as its catchy tone. It was nominated for the Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals at the 42nd Annual Grammy Awards. Subsequent reviews from critics have regarded "All Star" favourably, with some ranking it as one of the best songs of 1999. The song charted around the world, ranking in the top 10 of the charts in Australia, Canada, and on the US Billboard Hot 100, while topping the Billboard Adult Top 40 and Mainstream Top 40 charts.

The song's accompanying music video features characters from the 1999 superhero film Mystery Men, which itself prominently featured "All Star". The song became ubiquitous in popular culture following multiple appearances in films, most notably in DreamWorks Animation's 2001 film Shrek. It received renewed popularity in the 2010s as an internet meme and has ranked as one of the most-streamed rock songs from 2017 to 2021 in the US. In June 2019, the music video was remastered in high definition and received subtitles in commemoration of its 20th anniversary. By that point, it had received over 219 million views on Youtube. In 2020, The New York Times listed the song as #1 in their top ten climate change songs.

"All Star" received a total of 90,9% yes votes!
