#i was listening to Townie by Mitski it was a mood

[fullsaw]

I fell of my bike the gods have forsaken me

[snailsaxophone]

The type of music I think Penny, Nemona, and Arven would listen to

Source : trust me bro

Penny

oh god why did i start with penny

mela got her hooked on Green Day and MCR so i think that’s a good place to start

she’s also deep into the internet, so yk, tally hall, jack stauber, lemon demon, maybe will wood?

also lofi she’s literally the lofi girl in the lofi live streams

i think she’d listen to a lot of game soundtracks and some anime openings

overall she has good taste in music

i could also see her liking kpop, i don’t listen to kpop and it’s a scary place so i’ll leave it up to ur interpretation of which groups she likes

Nemona

This is also another hard one, but i could see her jamming to 70’s and 80’s disco funk

she would VIBE to ABBA. Cannot tell me otherwise

also upbeat 2010’s pop. for nostalgia.

as for newer music, she listens to lizzo and doja. lot of women-empowering music too

i could also see her listening to rap

she’s the rapper eminem was too afraid to diss

nemona va MC of RIP rap battle when????

so speaking of in-game musicians, she’d be a huge fan of Ryme not only because she’s a gym leader but her music is amazing

Arven

i see a lot of people saying arven wouldn’t really listen to music, but i disagree. in his official art from the art book you can see him humming in a lil sketch (i attached it cause i’ve barely seen anyone talk about it please can we talk about this 😭)

ive said this in a pervious headcanons, but arvens a whistle guys. there’s whistle guys, singing guys, and humming guys. arvens a whistle guy

ok so i think he’d like almost every type of music, but if favorite is classic rock

bohemian rhapsody is his favorite, he cries during the “mamaaa ooooooo” part (me too, me too)

he’s a big elton john, queen, billy joel, and david bowie fan

tho I can see him listening to almost every type of music, depends on his mood

for example, when it’s time to let out a good cry, he’s putting mitski on (the girlies that get it, get it 😔)

his favorite mitski songs are class of 2013 and townie

ok this was fun, if anyone has any other ideas if what these dumbasses would listen to let me know and i’ll add them! also might do one with team star

[ominoose]

may I request slasher hcs on their opinions on mitski 👩🏻‍🦳

-juvie

Juvie my beloved! I am so sorry! Tumblr ate the ask and refused to show me till now, this is nearly two months old I'm so sorry! Also like I said before I don’t know tons of Mitski songs so this is based on the ones I know, but this was very fun to write :)

𝐁𝐮𝐛𝐛𝐚 𝐒𝐚𝐰𝐲𝐞𝐫

+ Bubba likes her!

+ He doesn’t pay too much attention to the lyrics in songs, if it has an upbeat melody, he’s happy to have it on while he’s in the back room working away.

+ Even if he isn’t listening to the lyrics too much, he does think the lady sounds quite sad for someone singing to such a happy sounding song. Despite that, he likes how her voice sounds, it lulls him through the day.

+ If he had to pick a favourite song, it’s Nobody! He can’t sing songs very well, but he can garble out something similar to “nobody” when the chorus comes on. It's simple enough for him to follow and puts keeps his mood high.

𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐞𝐥 𝐌𝐲𝐞𝐫𝐬

+ Thinks it’s teen girl music. He has probably killed a young woman that was playing Mitski in her room. Michael is generally indifferent about it.

+ Since he sees it as sappy teen girl sad romance music, it's not something he’ll put on in his own time. If it comes on the radio, he’ll probably change the channel. 

+ Not a bad singer, just not for old Peepaw.

𝐏𝐚𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐁𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐧

+ Thinks Mitski is proof of women’s shallowness, lack of intelligence and their world revolving around men. Somehow, it makes him more sexist.

+ Secretly, he listens to songs like A Burning Hill and Losing Dogs and thinks the lyrics are profound, he actually has to sit there and battle with the fact that some woman’s sad music could evoke such emotion.

+ Will continue listening to Mitski’s albums and looking deep into the lyrics, trying to find a way to relate them to himself and his masculine struggles. The music itself isn’t his “beat” though, but he isn’t listening for that.

+ Panics if it plays in public and has to make a comment about how terrible he thinks the music is to make sure no one suspects him.

𝐋𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐫

+ He thinks it ain’t too bad! It comes on the radio every now and then when he’s flicking through the stations.

+ Lester prefers the upbeat songs, like Townie and Nobody. He knows the lyrics are sad, but he’s heard crazier and sadder lyrics in random country songs, so it’s all the same to him.

+ If it comes onto the radio often enough, he’ll have memorised the lyrics to sing along to them, play the drums on the steering wheel while driving, or do a little dance to it himself while working on some cars.

+ Can’t pick a favourite! He probably doesn’t even know Mitski’s name, he just knows the songs are on the radio and he likes them.

[yamsfrecklvs]

haikyuu characters as my favorite artists/bands : headcanons !!

i just needed to talk abt this okay

includes: kuroo, sugawara, yachi, tsukishima, oikawa, yamaguchi, kenma

warnings: nothing much, just a bit of swearing maybe

kuroo as arctic monkeys:

he just ... gives that vibe.

i just KNOW that he’d listen to them, probably while practicing alone or while doing homework because they give him the right amount of energy

i’m pretty sure he jams to some of their songs in front of the mirror while imagining to play the guitar and mimicking it because he’s like that and we all know it !! he does it in the locker room too and the other guys walked in on him doing that shit a million times but who cares he thinks it looks cool </3

probably got to know them thanks to kenma

thought abt learning guitar because of them

listens to the slowed and reverb versions

blasts their songs in random car rides

his faves would def be: fluorescent adolescent, suck it and see, arabella, you’re so dark, snap out of it, teddy picker and my propeller

sugawara as lana del rey

classy but CHAOTIC and just the right amount of spicy

he has all the vinyls. i just KNOW it.

he’d just sit there and enjoy the music calmly, maybe outside at night or in the morning while he walks to school

def forced the team to listen to some songs

i think he’d also be really into her whole aesthetic and the old 50s hollywood vibe, her music surely influences his personal style too

has some of her songs in a hypothetical makeout playlist to get in the mood

HE LISTENS TO THE UNRELEASED SONGS AND NO I DON’T TAKE ANY CRITICISM.

his faves would be: blue velvet, salvatore, cherry, gods & monsters, freak, yes to heaven, florida kilos and smarty

yachi as mitski:

i don’t think i really need to explain this one

i’m sure she relates to some of the struggles in her songs :(

class of 2013. yeah.

she listens to her when she’s really sad and maybe needs to let everything out, her music is so moving, emotional and intimate and that’s enough to make her feel better after a long day

also listens to her whilst doing her homework

probably makes playlists for the team with some of her songs in them :(( she’s so cute i can’t

uses some of her songs to calm herself down when she’s nervous

def scribbles quotes from her songs on her notes and thinks it makes them prettier

her faves would be: class of 2013, my body’s made of crushed little stars, townie, carry me out and two slow dancers

tsukishima as cigarettes after sex

will never admit it but he’s a huge fan

knows every song by heart

nobody knows that he listens to them except for yams and he often gets teased for it

is overall just a sucker for their cheesy slow romantic songs because deep down maybe he just wants love yk

is not good with words so he WILL dedicate their songs to show affection to people he truly cares about

probably listens to them to relax or even sleep

listening sessions at 3am when he can’t sleep

probably walks around in early winter mornings with his earphones in blasting their songs because they help him start the new day

secretly dreams about love with their songs ... sigh i know that he’s a softie but he will never admit it

his faves would be: john wayne, young & dumb, crush, i’m a firefighter, k., each time you fall in love

oikawa as taylor swift:

he STANS taylor to an uncomfortable extent

probably listens to her old music while practicing and her newer songs when he’s at home

definitely cried while listening to some songs

mirrorball is the song he resonates with the most. idc (“I’ve never been a natural, all do is try, try, try”)

totally listens to her while getting ready

his playlists are full of her songs

he definitely made a playlist full of her songs for iwaizumi (you can take this as just platonic or romantic, take it as you will, i just think he’d do it either way <3)

they give off the same vibes tbh <3

his favs would be: mirrorball, style, lover, i did something bad, love story, cardigan, you belong with me, paper rings and ‘tis the damn season

yamaguchi as poppy:

i JUST KNOW that this boy would listen to her. i feel like he’s really into any sort of alternative music even though it doesn’t really look like it (am i influenced by the punk yamaguchi au? maybe.) so her metal sound is just *chef’s kiss*

he just sits there silently with a little smile on his lips with metal music in his ears. it gives him lots of energy

when he’s alone he def gets up and screams at the top of his lungs to all of her songs. all of them.

also enjoys the old albums like bubblebath

is in love with her style but probably too shy to even try doing the same

has playlists full of her songs to go FERAL to

likes her covers too and was probably in the poppy fandom since the beginning so he basically knows everything

his faves would be: i disagree, fill the crown, money, lowlife, am i a girl?, iconic, BLOODMONEY, computer boy and girls in bikinis

kenma as penelope scott

great music to play games to

the anger in her songs sometimes resonates with him

the hyperpop influence in her music scratches his brain just right

probably likes that she’s not that well known

sweet hibiscus tea. that’s it. it’s his song.

probably listens to her entire discography in one sitting sometimes

listens to the unreleased songs too

his faves would be: dead girls, cigarette ahegao, sweet hibiscus tea, lotta true crime, born2run and moonsickness

[fangwhoria]

1, 24, 31, 67, 90

1: 6 of the songs you listen to most?

okay this is really hard because i listen to so much different music depending on my mood but probably ladies by fiona apple, the emperors new clothes by sinead o'connor, trouble adjusting by miya folick, townie by mitski, i want your (hands on me) by sinead o'connor, and wuthering heights by kate bush

24: Do you have a collection of anything?

i collect porcelain dolls! i dont really know about them or like whaich of them are valuable i simply inherited a bunch from my grandma and now i just love them

31: Smell the air. What do you smell?

weed and my burts bees hand cream

67: What were you doing last night at 12AM?

either smoking or watching 27 dresses LMAO whenever i get high all i wanna watch is romcoms

90: One night you wake up because you heard a noise. You turn on the light to find that you are surrounded by MUMMIES. The mummies aren’t really doing anything, they’re just standing around your bed. What do you do?

well are they hot? are they milf mummies? either way i hit on them

[partyatmakeoutcreek]

mitski songs ranked on how sad/relatable they are to me and the quality of my cry

note: I will be ignoring a lot of the actual meaning of the songs in my “analysis” because it’s my post and I get to do that

5. Townie

Ranked at number five because I really shouldn’t be crying to this but I do anyways ! This song puts feeling isolated into words and I will fall apart to this after my parents make a rude comment. Honestly makes me feel like more of a failure.

4. Two Slow Dancers

This song just makes me feel nostalgic. Like I’m missing the ignorant bliss of childhood while also realizing I will never get to go back. I’m here and I have to deal with everything happening now despite how crap it all is. I always think about the two slow dancers are me and myself <3 This song is on when I’m lonely (most Monday nights).

3. I Bet On Losing Dogs

Once again she puts it into words! Putting all my effort into the wrong things (I know she’s talking about SOs but let me have my moment). Something about the shaking guitar??? Whatever that instrument is?? Just amazing. Like I feel my tears waving along to that. I have to be in a specific mood to listen to this, however.

2. I Don’t Smoke

ANGER! I AM MAD! This song is just absolutely wonderful when I need to yell but I think my neighbors would call the police because I’m screaming so hard. “I am stronger than you give me credit for” !!!!! Like yes I know the actual meaning behind her words but I just love listening to it when I’m super pissed at someone. I’m an angry cryer which is difficult because I don’t want to show weakness, so sitting in my bedroom while crying to this gives me an outlet. I’m more angry than sad nowadays.

1. Last Words of a Shooting Star

Yup. Yupppp. Just like absolute sadness. You know absolute 0? That but absolute sadness. This ones been playing on repeat a little too much lately... Started labeling all of my issues as turbulence because of this song. The cry is sooooooo good. Like I want to give up so bad but this song just lets me cry to it and wraps me in a warm blanket and gives me warm milk.

closing notes: can you tell my favorite album is bury me at makeout creek? I have a playlist of all of these and when I’m feeling bored I’ll put it on and write depressing poems in my notes !

Honorable mentions: First Love / Late Spring, Your Best American Girl

[taste-in-music]

hi i love you - i want to get into mitski bc i think she's rly rly awesome, do you have any suggestions as to where i should start?

I’m by no means a Mitski expert and can’t say I’ve deep-dived into all of her albums, but here are a few of my favorite songs by her that you might like:

Nobody: This song is such a bop, I can’t even. It’s got some quirky lyrics, disco flair, crisp hand claps, and a chorus that will cement itself in your brain. Think of it as Mitski’s take on a pop song, and is pretty unlike anything else in her discography, but it’s still undeniably her and a good place to start. 

Geyser: With grand synths, distorted strings, and a larger-than-life feel, this song makes me want to run through a feel of wildflowers during a storm. It’s got a great crescendo and builds to an awesome climax while at the same time not feeling overblown. 

Townie: Definition of a banger. Makes me transcend the seventh dimension on the train. I love the grimy guitars and pulsing energy on this track. If you’re into a rock-driven sound that makes you want to kick ass, this is the song for you. 

I Bet on Losing Dogs: A song that will make you want to curl up into a ball and fade into nothing. This is one of my go-to angsty indie rock tracks. It has a nice warbling electric guitar and harmonizing backing vocals that lead to a complex listen. 

Strawberry Blond: The bouncy guitars, claps, and flutes at the start of this song just put me in a good mood. This song feels very springy and bright, but if you really listen to the lyrics they’re quite sad. With a running time that lasts under two minutes, this song works to capture the arc of an emotion rather than be a full-on song, and it’s amazing.

I hope this is helpful and you like some of these songs. Other Mitski fans help me out with this one, which songs would you recommend to newcomers?
