ROTTMNT music headcanons (because I said so)
Donnie:
favourite genre is electric (canon)
also likes techno, hyperpop, and lo-fi
listens to Lemon Demon, Jack Stauber, The Living Tombstone, Bo Burnham, and Will Wood
won't let Raph pick music in the Turtle Tank
vibes with Leo to meme songs in the middle of the night (insomniac twins)
shares a playlist with Mikey that contains songs they both enjoy
plays Friday Night Funkin' music while working in the lab
can sing in-key for the most part
despises it when people talk to him while he's listening to music
Raph:
favourite genre is soul (canon)
also likes R&B, jazz, and funk
listens to The Beatles, Earth Wind and Fire, Rex Orange County, Girl in Red, and ABBA
genuinely doesn't understand Donnie's music, but can get by it
jams out to songs with Leo on shared missions
lets Mikey choose up-beat songs for workouts (the "hypeman," if you will)
blasts Dancing Queen frequently
can't sing in-key, doesn't care (and neither do the others)
doesn't memorize the words to songs, except the course
will play elevator music when absolutely bored
Leo:
favourite genre is glamrock (canon)
also likes White Girl™ music, 80's rock, and orchestra
listens to Mitski, Tom Cardy, Radiohead, Pink Floyd, and Arctic Monkeys
vibes with Donnie to meme songs in the middle of the night (insomniac twins)
tolerates Raph's music choices
uses his songs to annoy Mikey
sings loudly in the shower (he cries too)
could sing in-key if he tried, which he doesn't
music is basically constantly playing in his head (likely the Mii theme, or Maxwell Cat)
has a record player
Mikey:
favourite genre is rap (canon)
also likes pop, hiphop, and jpop
listens to AJR, Laufey, Tyler The Creator, Kikuo, and Katy Perry
shares a playlist with Donnie that contains songs they both enjoy
lets Raph pick songs while he's cooking/baking
gets driven out of Leo's room by his orchestra music
can't help but move to the songs (if he can't boogie, it's not worth listening to)
plays high-tempo music to get work done (it works half the time)
has amazing vocal range and perfect pitch
gets so many voice cracks (like so many)
is randomly inspired to draw by songs and artists
All:
know every single word to Breakin' Dishes by Rihanna, the Ghostbusters theme, and the Pokémon intro
take turns picking songs on road trips
can't stand Splinter's singing
