yes !!!! i lovee school i lovee learning & my hs? extremely chill

5. Can you parallel park?

yes fire emoji fire emoji fire emoji

6. Do you think aliens are real?

I feel like the possibility that there AREN'T aliens is extraordinarily low, even if they haven't evolved yet or would be completely unrecognisable as a form of life to us. the universe is still comparatively so so young so i feel the chances that at some point in the next quadzillion years that the circumstances of earth won't be replicated at least in part is hugely unlikely

7. Can you drive a manual car?

technically? i learnt to drive in a manual ute that is ABSOLUTELY not roadworthy but i did not get a manual licence :( sort of regret that but im sure if i got back in a manual i could do it again. probably

8. Guilty pleasure?

thinking in depth and forever abt my girl in middle earth oc hobbit fic that i havent properly written since like 2021. she means the WORLD to me i could make it sooo good if i just got over the evil puritans in my head telling me it is cringe

9. Tattoos?

soon!!! one day!!!! trust and believe!!!!!!!

10. Favourite colour?

loveeeeee yellow i love yellow so much soo much. unfortunately i am ginger.

12. Do you like puzzles?

yeah! they're kind of evil and i am not great at pattern recognition and they hurt my back. but also v satisfying to do

13. Any phobias?

ants i fucking hate ants i HATE them (i stood in a bullant nest when i was 2) + also maybe thalassophobia? idk though that may have also been cured by the time i played 130 hours of subnautica in a week in december

touch footie!!! i was very good at it lowk and i miss playing it terribly

15. Do you talk to yourself?

LMAO YEAH. when im thinking about writing especially. or doing literally anything. i will talk to myself

TEA I LOVE TEA I LOVE TEA SO MUCH. i cannot drink coffee because The Side Effects + caffeine does not seem to have the intended effect on me, so i don't really drink caffeinated tea that much either? i absolutely LOVE rooibos with honey in it though one million out of ten

17. First thing you wanted to be when growing up?

i wanted to be a scientist because i was under the impression that scientists blew things up and that it was exclusively their job to do that. i still want to be a scientist tbh but for different reasons

18. What movies do you adore?

im so normal and regular and fine about the hobbit extended edition trilogy. so normal. no but fr i love unexpected journey i have watched it more than twenty times total and. five times in the last week and a bit LOL

Tagging:

@sithfox @hastalavistabyebye @patchmates @rockcattomato and anyone else who would like to !!!!

[kittycatpopprincess]

In the spirit of the season, I should probably make a list of great LGBT artists I listen to and would recommend, in no particular order:

Polythene Pam: Fantastic Folk Punk, about as DIY as it gets.

She/Her/Hers: Also Folk Punk, but angrier. 'Nvr Pass' was my first introduction to her, specifically the live version available on Shout Back's youtube channel.

G.L.O.S.S: Not every artist here can be a deep cut. I'm willing to bet most of them aren't, but still, just in case you haven't listened to their fantastic 'Trans Day Of Revenge' EP, go and do so now. A gem of Hardcore Punk.

Victory Over the Sun: How do I even categorise this album. Microtonal Atmospheric Black Metal? Sure, let's go with that. Anyway, it fucks. Go listen.

Seria Viri: Cold Wave, both 'Funeral' and its follow-up, 'Funeral Pt II' are as harsh, raw and introspective as it gets. A must-listen.

Seth Corbin: I've said it before, and carved it onto the subway walls like a frenzied prophet, I consider Seth Corbin to be an outstanding lyricist, perhaps one of the best contemporary ones. Just good Folk Punk, the album I linked is a no-skip in my book.

Holly Victoria Hayes: When I tell you that 'Portraits of Lola, & other fun stories' is an album that fundamentally changed my outlook on what it means to make music and that I have been trying, and failing, to create anything that compares to it throughout my entire career. I have no words, it's just one-of-a-kind, once-in-a-lifetime and I cannot imagine a world without this album.

Rosie Borden: Another very unique album, I cannot do it justice by succintly describing it, it is just incredibly rich like that. Go listen pls.

SuperKnova: Probably the most accessible album and artist on here. For great reasons. She's a fantastic artist, and 'superuniverse' deserves to be a Pop classic.

Princess Xixi: She's just good. Undeniably so. Once more with feeling, go listen pls.

Vylet Pony: Hyperpop, I guess? Music taxonomy is not my forte. Anyway, if you want to blow out your ear drums and feel your heart rate elevate to match the energy of the music, Vylet Pony shoud be your go-to.

Of course I can't exactly forego the classics, so here they are

Laura Jane Grace: Transgender Dysphoria Blues, Shape Shift with Me, Reinventing Axl Rose, they're obviously all classics. I have a particular soft spot for her solo work, particularly Stay Alive, so that's the album I'm recommending.

Queen Bee: Avu-chan's vocal prowess speaks for itself. High-strung Hard Rock, and their singing definitely does a lot of heavy lifting for that energy to be maintained throughout the album.

Hikaru Utada: While I will keep my thoughts on the final film of the Evangelion Rebuilds, the accompanying EP is absolutely lovely. Cool little detail, they include the often ignored first verse of 'Fly Me To The Moon', so you know, nice.

[aeternalight]

please interact if you're a 20 something (or 18 or 19) and believe in reincarnation who loves cute girls and ghost guys, and uhm , aesthetic stuff.

Like, cybercore, yamikawaii, tenshi kawaii, hyperpop, edm, menhera, etc. But you're also definitely irreversibly affected by your supernatural experiences, so you dove into witchcraft to possibly connect to anyone with a similar experience.

I am friendly to:

Otherkin. I call it by a different name.

Systems or trauma survivors. I am one myself. Unpalatable symptoms or thoughts? I completely understand, shadow work is not for the faint of heart.

Yanderes or mentally ill aesthetic girlies. Its completely valid to have abandonment issues, yanderes are so vampirecore. Please give me your pinterest.

Pro kink/kinksters. Like obv, don't interact if you only post porn on your main blog, no one wants to see that. But if in your spare time, or with your partner, do kink, come be my friend. We need more people like you in this world.

Diviners. please please interact if you do astrology, tarot, or another type of divination, that is my hyperfixation, pleaseee interact with me.

Have past lives in which you weren't human or know of your past lives in general. I want to know if you knew me. I'd like to be your friend even if we didn't.

Are an artist/lover of aesthetics. I love all kinds of aesthetics, I'd love to meet more people who are visually inclined. Show me your moodboards, show me your doodles. I'd like to see what kind of things you have come up with.

Connect to the fey/faerie/sidhe. I am not one of those people who sees the fey as tiny little fairies, although I do not mind fairies. Just interact in general if you have a connection, whether or not that you can explain, to the fey. Or if you believe you've had a past life as one. I'd like to know you.

You experience premonitions or tend to write prophetic prose. This one is a little hard to explain, but if you're out there, having written or experienced something predetermined by a piece of cryptic text, hit me up.

I doubt I'll find much or any person like this, given this day and age. But I'm still holding out hope. You don't have to be everything on that list, but you have to be okay with most of it. If we are to be friends, or to connect spiritually, you should know that I am not a fan of gatekeeping, fakeclaiming, lateral aggression, or cringe culture. If you do not simply understand due to a human lens on life, let me take that off for you, as those who connect to me are not even close to normal members of society. My space is for the strange, unusual, or those who don't care and simply want to have fun. Neutral spirits, not unequivocally pure or lawfully aligned. I'd like to go on adventures, as long as none of you are judgmental.

So come with me, as long as you feel drawn or heard. I may be the person for you.

Americans are having less sex, whether they’re teenagers or in their 4Os. One of the most comprehensive sex studies to date — the National Survey of Sexual Health and Behavior — found evidence of declines in all types of partnered sexual activity in the U.S. Over the course of the study from 2OO9 to 2O18, those surveyed reported declines in penile-vaginal intercourse, anal sex and partnered masturbation.

Average relative annual declines in the prevalence of each behavior— except for weapon carrying—ranged from 1–6%. The structure of the latent factor was mostly unchanged over time, with notable exceptions related to differential changes in prevalence for cigarette and cannabis use. Between 1999 and 2O17, the mean of the latent factor declined by between O.54 and O.73 standard deviations.

Results suggest that much of the decline in the prevalence of substance use, delinquent, and sexual behaviors among American youth from 1999–2O17 reflect an approximately two-thirds standard deviation decline in the mean of a latent risk behavior factor.

Much of America looks suburban, with neighborhoods of single-family homes connected by roads to retail centers and low-rise office buildings. For the first time, government data confirm this. According to the newly released 2O17 American Housing Survey (of nearly 76,OOO households nationwide), about 52 percent of people in the United States describe their neighborhood as suburban

Being something of an economic fundamentalist, I've been quite blind to the fact democratic politics - along with commerce and technoscience - involves a massive numerization of social processes. Quite apart from the usual arguments for democracy, there is a 'case for democratization' proceeding entirely from the promotion of qabbalistic cultural decoding.

In striking contrast to every other political arrangement evidenced in history, democracy numerizes power, subordinating authority to number, with would-be dominant ideas compelled to legitimate themselves in terms of quantitative 'ratings' of approval. The incomprehensible complexity of erotic 1O-K readings the social whole is subjectively appropriated through simple numerical indices - with percentages overwhelmingly predominant. The individual as democratic 'unit' thus functions the contemporary world disorder (what CNN was for Baurdrillard and pomo fuzz-death of the Oddubbian universe back in the 9O's)

[onestowatch]

The Top 21 Artists to Watch in 2021

In a world where the only universal certainty seems to be opening every email with “hope you’re doing well,” the only other surefire guarantee is that there will continue to be new music worth discovering. And, we figured with the start of a new year, what better way to say to spend the waking hours of 2021 than introduce you to a few of the artists we currently have a close eye on. Often genreless and belonging to Gen Z, these are the 21 artists we are watching in 2021. 

spill tab

Where to Start: “Calvaire” 

In her breakout single “Calvaire,” spill tab sings in French over an intoxicating backbeat. The effect is akin to a spell, ushering into existence something inherently danceable and transfixing, like an Angèle B-side finding new life as a Billie Eilish cut. It is a standout moment that would be followed by similar standout moments in the form of a series of varied singles, culminating in spill tab’s debut EP, Oatmilk. Short and sweet, the four-song collection holds all the promise of a 2021 artist to watch.

Joesef

Where to Start: “The Sun Is Up Forever”

Emerging from the fog of Glasgow, Scotland, Joesef’s marriage of heartbreak, desire, regret, hope, and sublime joy is nothing short of intoxicating. Immediately making an impression with his tender, heartfelt croon, the Glasgow artist’s songs soon give way to emotionally rife personal recollections–some beautiful in their understated minimalism, some breathtaking in their expansive scope. Whatever the setting, the result is always the same–a passionate, shared moment you will not be forgetting anytime soon.

brakence

Where to Start: “dropout”

Self-described as “self-care punk,” brakence effortlessly pairs the unmatched energy of punk with an impressive showing of vulnerability. While the past few years saw the Ohio native experiment over a range of singles and on his debut album, 2020 was without a doubt the year he found his sound in the noteworthy punk2. Blending Midwest emo, trap production, hip-hop, and alternative, brakence’s sophomore effort is a masterclass in infectious emotional catharsis.

Mustafa

Where to Start: “Stay Alive”

Few artists embody the sentiment of music as poetry as emphatically as Mustafa. First leaving a mark with 2020’s “Stay Alive,” Mustafa introduced himself to the world with a breathtaking, earth-shattering ballad rife with impassioned emotional imagery. Soft-spoken but never lacking for impact, the poet, activist, filmmaker, and songwriter brings to life the lived realities of Toronto’s Regent Park, a public housing project that shaped Mustafa into the once in a lifetime artist he is today.

Holly Humberstone

Where to Start: “Falling Asleep At The Wheel”

In her 2020 debut EP, Falling Asleep at the Wheel, Holly Humberstone proves herself a master at crafting a palpable atmosphere. Rife with emotional highs and cathartic lows, all backed by Humberstone’s magnetic and graceful songwriting, the British artist lays her heart on her sleeve and in turn lays the groundwork for a debut offering poised to stand the test of time. It is no mere hyperbole to say that Humberstone is an artist to watch out for not only in 2021 but in the years to come.

AG Club

Where to Start: “Memphis”

The initial comparison of AG Club to collectives like BROCKHAMPTON and A$AP may be an easy one to draw, but a single listen tells another story. While the genreless Bay Area collective may radiate the same rapturous energy of the aforementioned groups, AG Club is clearly riding high on their own wavelength. Aiming to make hip-hop but not as you know it, the idiosyncratic collective made their vision clear with the release of 2020’s Halfway Off the Porch, an electrifying amalgamation of disparate genres, sights, sounds, and moods.

347aidan

Where to Start: “Dancing in My Room”

Euphoric, difficult to perfectly define, and haphazardly brilliant, aidan347 embodies the adventurousness and inventiveness of Gen Z. The project of 17-year-old Aidan Fuller, the Cambridge, Ontario native has spent the past five years making music. Yet at the beginning of 2020, the Cambridge artist had less than three thousand monthly listeners; now, that number sits well above five million. A testament to 347aidan’s tenacity, his devoted fanbase, and the power of a TikTok-fueled viral hit–arriving in the form of “Dancing in My Room”–it really feels we are only witnessing the prologue of what’s to come.

Frances Forever

Where to Start: “Space Girl”

When thinking of music’s future stars, what better place to look than to the galactic, lovelorn musings of Frances Forever. Making less of a splash and more of a tidal wave with the release of “Space Girl” late last year, the Boston bedroom artist’s ode to intergalactic love has been rapidly climbing the TikTok and indie charts. Now signed to Mom+Pop records, Frances Forever is more than ready to shoot for the stars and beyond in 2021.

Hope Tala

Where to Start: “Lovestained”

Hope Tala is impossible to ignore. A West Londoner to her core, the UK singer-songwriter finds inspiration in everything from ‘90s movies, classic literature, to the constantly changing world around her. Transforming what feels like a lifetime, and some, of inspiration into an undeniably spellbinding fusion of R&B and bossa nova, Hope Tala’s musings of daydreams, heartache, and fear are the sort ready to define a generation’s ails, joys, and mundane triumphs and anxieties. Universal in scope yet deeply personal, Hope Tala is without doubt an artist to keep your eye on in 2021. 

Q

Where to Start: “Take Me Your Heart Is”

Q, much like his name, is an anomaly. Releasing one album a year since 2018, the ineffable soul and R&B artist has somehow coasted under the radar in spite of releasing some of the most breathtaking music out there. And with the release of 2020’s The Shave Experiment, Q feels like he’s finally stepping into the much-deserved limelight. Leading with the striking “Take Me Your Heart Is,” Q brought to life a nostalgic, hyper-emotive track sure to stop you in your tracks. Hopefully, it’s one of many to come. 

Claire Rosinkranz

Where to Start: “Backyard Boy”

16-year-old Claire Rosinkranz has been making music for the better part of her life, and 2020 was the year that scribbling down lyrics and helping her father compose music for TV shows and ad jingles paid off in a major way. The California native’s single, “Backyard Boy,” taken from her debut EP, BeVerly Hills BoYfRiEnd, soon became a TikTok hit, racking up over 80 million streams to date, on Spotify alone. If there are two things to look out for in 2021, make sure it’s your mental wellbeing and Claire’s euphoric self-dubbed “alternative-blues-pop.”

KennyHoopla

Where to Start: “how will i rest in peace if i'm buried by a highway?//”

KennyHoopla is nothing if not electrifying. The alternative, punk, and ‘80s new wave-evoking artist moves through each track with a sense of world-ending hunger, jumping from one ensuing mosh pit to the next. It is a balancing act of new wave nostalgia and genuine inventive alternative that results in a maelstrom of palpable excitement. To best experience this cathartic form of self-expression firsthand, look no further than his debut EP, last year’s how will i rest in peace if i'm buried by a highway?//. No one is quite making music like KennyHoopla, in 2021 or beyond.

MICHELLE

Where to Start: “THE BOTTOM”

New York collective MICHELLE deftly imbues the sincerity of soul and R&B into a uniquely tender pop outlook, and the result is nothing short of infectious. The project of six predominantly queer POC individuals, the group originally earned widespread critical acclaim for their 2018 album HEATWAVE, but it was arguably their subsequent signing with Atlantic Records last year that has them set to be one of 2021’s most promising acts. Quickly making the most of their newfound major label status, MICHELLE released “Sunrise,” the sonic equivalent of the first rays of light breaking through the clouds, signaling the end of a rainy day. It’s safe to say the future is looking bright for MICHELLE.

glaive

Where to Start: “eyesore”

Few artists define and defy the label of hyperpop as readily as glaive. Falling somewhere between 100 gecs and the second coming of mid-2000s pop punk, the newly-signed Interscope artist released his major debut label EP, cypress grove, earlier this year. Yet before finding a home at Interscope, glaive’s official discography only stretched back as far as 2020. Making the most of a year we all would rather soon forget, the 15-year-old wunderkind showcased to the world a continual musical evolution that is looking to only further pick up steam in the coming year.

Claud

Where to Start: “Wish You Were Gay”

From opening for Clairo to releasing a steady stream of resonant singles, Claud has spent the last couple of years making a name for themselves in the indie music world, but 2020 saw arguably their biggest breakthrough moment yet. With the release of “Gold,” Claud became the first artist signed to Phoebe Bridgers’ Saddest Factory Records. Arriving as the first taste of their upcoming debut album, Super Monster, 2021 is looking absolutely golden for Claud. And not to mention the fact they recently started a band with Clairo and friends.

María Isabel

Where to Start: “The 1”

Where has María Isabel been all our lives? First making herself known with the release of “The 1,” an ode to long-distance relationships, which soon became more prophetic than we ever could have imagined, the debut single served as lovely an introduction as they come. Thankfully, we would not have to wait too long to hear more dreamlike R&B from María, who graced us with her debut EP, Stuck in the Sky shortly thereafter. Uniquely heartfelt and velvety smooth, María’s voice is just the thing to carry you through 2021.

Remi Wolf

Where to Start: “Photo ID”

The past couple of years have seen avant-garde pop wunderkind Remi Wolf test the waters with one out of this world single after another, and 2020 felt like the year everything finally fell into place. Arriving on the Bay Area native’s sophomore album, I’m Allergic To Dogs!, “Photo ID,” and its unafraid, in your face anti pop mentality cemented itself as a surefire hit, and TikTok soon took notice. Serving as a testament to Remi Wolf’s mainstream appeal in spite of her outsider approach, “Photo ID” merely set the stage for what is to come.  

PawPaw Rod

Where to Start: “HIT EM WHERE IT HURTS”

PawPaw Rod may be the only artist on this list with only one single to their name, but in no way does that disqualify him from being an artist to watch in 2021. Releasing his debut single, “HIT EM WHERE IT HURTS,” out into the ether, the Los Angeles artist immediately landed on something special. Blending elements of hip-hop, funk, and alternative under a mellow, syrupy flow, PawPaw Rod wasted no time in setting himself apart from the pack. And with godmode–the same development company that brought us Yaeji, Channel Tres, LoveLeo, and more–it is safe to say that this is only the beginning.

Evann Mcintosh

Where to Start: “WIYULD”

In her dreamlike take on alternative R&B, Evann Mcintosh attempts to capture the turbulent act of coming-of-age. At times delicate to the touch and at times emanating a self-assured confidence well beyond her 16 years of age, Evann Mcintosh’s 2019 debut album, MOJO, laid the groundwork for an act whose promise knows no bounds. It was a promise she made good on during the tail end of 2020, with the release of singles “WIYULD” and “BULL$HIT.” Showing off two different sides of her continued musical growth, 2021 has us all the more excited for what Evann has in store.

Serena Isioma

Where to Start: “Sensitive”

In her breakout single, “Sensitive,” Serena Isioma fuses modern-day R&B and woozy indie pop with reckless abandon. The outcome is a song that not only sounds quite unlike anything else out there, but one whose own vibe seems to shift and evolve from one moment to the next. It is an electrifying opening moment that begins to define the Isioma’s artistry and her debut EP, Sensitive. The first of two EPs the Chicago-based artist would release in 2020, it is hard not to feel like Isioma is already in the process of creating a one-of-a-kind discography.

Blu DeTiger

Where to Start: “Figure It Out”

Whether you know her as the touring bassist for acts like FLETCHER and Caroline Polachek or as the TikTok famous bassist, the fact of the matter is that Blu DeTiger is an artist you need to know. A bassist since age seven and crowned the “coolest DJ around” by Vogue, the New York native’s music skirts the realms of funk, indie, and dance. Unmistakable, nonchalantly cool, and unsurprisingly bass-heavy, you deserve doing yourself the favor of diving headfirst into Blu DeTiger’s music. Just be sure to come up for air, when you’re ready.

hit me with some music recs pls i've been listening to sea shanties for so long mom told me i was singing them in my sleep ahasjkfhakfjh a change is needed

I would love to recommend some stuff! This is a really open-ended question, so I would love some more specific requests about what vibe/emotion/genre/style/etc. you’re looking for.

For now, I’ll start with what I’ve had on repeat this past week or so. You’ll find that the vast majority of the artists I’ve been listening to are trans because trans people are simply better at making music! ;)

This Might Be Healing by Jungheim Is an album that’s been described as “Acoustic Pop-Punk” but I honestly think that might be underselling it. It’s a really high-energy, emotive album with driving lyrics that keep the lo-fi acoustic sound exciting. The album is on most streaming services, and the version of the album on Bandcamp has three bonus covers that are really great. Jungheim is a Chicago-based trans musician and she made this album in only two months! My favorite track off the album is The Girls but I think your favorite will be her cover of The Middle.

Food House by Food House is a collaborative project from Gupi and Fraxiom. Fraxiom sang most of the vocals on the album, which touches on everything from being inspired by Sophie’s music to celebrating the death of Ronald Reagan. The album can be described as Hyperpop, but that descriptor is a nebulous genre at best. My favorite song is Metal. If you’ve already heard anything from this album it was probably Mos Thoser. 

Grae by Moses Sumney has been on repeat for me near-constantly since the first iteration, Grae Vol. 1 was released almost exactly a year ago, and the second half of the double album was released last May. It’s a truly astounding album, and probably my runner-up for AOTY last year. It’s a star-studded album with contributions from artists such as Thundercat (another artist you should definitely check out btw). The album is an avant-garde art-pop masterpiece, and the prevalent theme of isolation was almost prophetic, considering it came out just as much of the U.S. went into lockdown. My favorite song is Cut Me. 

I’m starting to doze off as I write this, tbh, so I’m gonna send this answer, but I’d love to give more recs or talk further tomorrow :) 

p.s. I gave Spotify links to all of them because I know that’s what you use, but I always recommend buying from artists directly on Bandcamp to support them if possible! The last Friday of every month throughout the pandemic has been Bandcamp Friday, where Bandcamp gives 100% of the proceeds directly to the artist, so if you like any of my recs maybe buy the songs this Friday!
