sad/angry grrl music suggestions from high school part 1

@afoxnamedmulder yo this is more comprehensive then I meant but welp here we are. thanks for the push:

Also disclaimer bc like. Most of this music is either like. technically musically shitty or deals with a shit load of mental health or just flat up depressing/suicidal topics. Like seriously, lot of these bands deal or address heavy ass topics so. heads up if that is not your jam. I am progressively realizing as I get older I was wayyy more depressed in high school then I previously thought and i’m pretty sure the music helps prove that :/

ANY

MUSIC!

FLATSOUND: lofi/spokenword/ambient/instrumental music. Mitch is a blessing of gentle creativity. My top suggestions for him would be the albums sleep . Scotland, i wish you had stayed (i would die for the song i exist i exist i exist). I got into him through his spoken word piece you said okay because i was a sucker for spoken word in middle school (ngl still am :P) He has really dope collaborative projects in both photography and music, available at his site. <3

German error message: AHHHHHHHHH! I cry! every time I listen! Truly the music is just so reflective and biting in relation to my own emotions and shit, but it does it in the most gentle way possible. the music swells and swells and swells, but instead of crashing its a gentle receding of the tide, until it's a trickle. After the warmth is such a solid album especially ugh :)

Next 4 bands are all related so they all sound similar/ish and have similar themes woo.

JULIA BROWN: lofi/pop/indie. Library is such a killer song goddddd. To be close to you is my fave album but an abundance of strawberries is also vvvv good.

Starrycat: lofi/pop/indie it’s such a wonderful album just. pleasant so fricking pleasant

Teen Suicide/American Pleasure club:Lofi/emo/electronic/indie look. look - teen suicide is a hallmark of sad lofi indie music and for a good reason. they are sad as shit and good as shit. DC snuff film / Waste Yrslf is my fave teen suicide (combo of two of their albums), while i blew on a dandelion and the whole world disappeared is my fave American pleasure club. They are the same band btw idk why the name change happened.

Ricky eat acid: lofi/experimental. you get sick; you regret things is probs my fave

Salvia Plath: Lofi/experimental/electronic Melanchole. is such. a good. album

Next two bands are related

Elvis Depressedly: Lofi/experimental/electronic god do I love the weird ass stylings of Matthew Lee Cothran. Elvis Depressedly is either reaaaal weird sounding or nostalgic or sad. all good all around. Fave albums are goner (mickey yr a fuck up is gr8) Mickey’s dead (u angel u is just *heart eyes*). I haven’t had a chance to listen to the new album depressedelica but I’ve heard good things

Coma cinema: Lofi/experimental/electronic. Ditto to above basically. Fave album is posthumous release (i am a sucker for white trash vhs)

Dandelion hands: Lofi/Emo  Nick Heck is hecking good. sing me something sweet to sleep to is my fave album i think. this song tho is the best

Sandy (Alex G): Folk/Indie rock/pop I found him through fan music video for sarah and fell down the rabbit hole that is his music.He has so many albums and unreleased albums and limited release albums jesu s. He’s got a knack for describing certain weird emotions in life. idk lyrically and instrumentally he just hits really good for me. Album wise I’m partial to RACE (gnaw the most)

THE WORLD IS A BEAUTIFUL PLACE & I AM NO LONGER AFRAID TO DIE (TWIABP): Ugh what can't i saw about this band. their music... reaches? idk how to describe it really but its good, the lyrics are so wonderfully and prettily written, and the instrumentals just :) .They get a bit screamy heads up but like. Tastefully screamy? Harmlessness and Whenever, If Ever are tied for my fave album. Also heads up about Between Bodies - I personally like it but it’s pretty different from everything else and some people have... strong opinions on it’s worth. make your own decision and ignore them tho bc people like to be mean.

TOLD SLANT: Look it's just gentle sad music sung in an interesting way? The vocal performance of the lead singer is aggressively gentle? like idk how else to put it it is just. delicate pain on the verge of  breaking. Tsunami is one of my fave all time songs ngl and the album it is from, is wonderful

ATTIC ABASEMENT: Look. Imma level with you - I found them off an 8tracks Steve/tony werewolf au mix and I have never been happier. downs the lot of them but good, good tunes. Dancing is depressing is a fucking kick ass album but give a listen to the attic abasement / Nod split - it is a collection of jams

SO YEAH!! there more downtempo/softer/depressing stuff I know I’m missing but that’s all i can think of atm :P Most if not all the bands here I think are own Spotify or youtue btw, I just listed them on bandcamp because I use it more than Spotify. I’m not claiming that any of this music is like, objectively good, most of it probs isn’t, but i love it dearly and will stand by it.

also check out David Dean Burkhart He’s made music videos for so many weird or solid bands. he’s doing mostly just music suggestions/uploads now, but those still, in general are really good as well. TheLazylazyme also is good for this. PanifisWater too.

Imma make another post later at some point about the like for uptempo/angrier stuff. 1 somewhat pretentious sounding genre down, another to go!!

When words are Kind

By Mer

So I made this new painting in acrylic and a canvas panel.

It’s style influences are graffiti/street art/ abstract It’s 11x15 canvas panel

It’s been a while in transition for me moving to a new state, town all around new environment….Jim Morrison wasn’t lying in his song “People are strange”(or at least I think that’s the tittle) well anyways, the song lyrics say:

People are strange

When you're a stranger

Faces look ugly

When you're alone

Women seem wicked

When you're unwanted

Streets are uneven

When you're down

When you're strange

Faces come out of the rain

When you're strange

No one remembers your name

When you're strange

When you're strange

When you're strange

Well basically that’s what I’ve been feeling like the past few months and I have been very isolated maybe it’s a delayed reaction to the pandemic idk….

Well when one person takes the time to be sweet and it really makes a difference even if they are a stranger….guess that makes them a beautiful stranger.

So that encounter inspired this painting.

DEPENDS WHAT KIND OF MOVIE/SHOWS/MUSIC ARE YOU IN TO SKSMDMDK

I like a wide variety of things so it’s hard to get specific. But imma try. I like rn LK but I also like things that show makes fun of too. I like Midwest emo- but I also take the piss outta it constantly. Idk. Hard to name genres bc I don’t wanna possibly miss out like I’ll give most things a peeksy unless there is someone in it that is a piece of shit. You’ll never see me watch movies w Casey Affleck. Or think that Jeff Dunham is funny when we all know what kinda “comedy” that is. (He’s that racist puppet dude w like mostly fans who are redneck conservatives) also on the topic of shitheads w the last name Dunham- GIRLS isn’t a show I’ll ever be able to get thru.

So it just depends but tbh send me any suggestions and I’ll still take a look. Horror, docs, old movies. Funny, weird, cringey but what ppl say are their guilty pleasures like reality tv isn’t all bad. And sometimes it’s so bad it’s good? Lol. I’ve been known to not turn away good jazz, SoundCloud rappers aren’t all terrible, bubblegum pop has it’s moments, bedroom lofi can be super relaxing. So see it’s varied a lot! Lmao just try me I wanna find new things to obsess over 😍

Some things I’ve already not liked or I’ve gone thru the phase of being into and I’m done w and don’t hold it close anymore are things like: arrested development, demon possession horror, reality dating shows, action movies that are 87% action sequences, SHERLOCK, doctor who, couldn’t ever get into supernatural for some tea related reasons plus it isn’t my kind of acting and writing style, anime, soap operas, novelas(I’m srry tias pls forgive me wherever u are🙏🏼), heavy metal, stadium rock, country music that has stereotypical yt hetero fake farmer w pro war pro gun pro military vibes, movies or shows w too much focus on torturing the women or girls just for the sake of it to enhance the male hero’s pain or rage or like drive to fight, things w too much focus on the sex lives of children and there’s 20 somethings playing them. Like that kinda stuff ik it sounds like I hate everything but tbh I like a lot of stuff too!!
