truly cannot explain the connection i have to the 1975's music. yes some of it is nostalgia but i genuinely do not have any other artist that has interested and confused and irritated and saddened and endeared me so much all at the same time and i do mean that about the music itself rather than about the band members. i've spent so much of my life listening to them and they cover so much ground while also having so much terrible samey shit that i wind up loving anyway. i'm so done with matty healy but i will not be able to let go of this music without giving it a proper sendoff, y'know.

#thunder rambles #n its not even the thing people have with like mcr or tøp where the music gave me something to hold onto through a rough time #ive just loved it in so many different ways and for reasons that have changed over the years like.#i know i sound like i drank the kool aid. im working on it #edit: i have some more soppy sincere things to say about why i love their music so much #it's for the same reason i don't think i'll ever love someone exactly the way i loved the friend i had in year 8 #to love someone just because they're there at a point of naievete in your life #i got into the 1975 because my toxic best friend whom i had a crush on said i had to like them #and also because their first two albums are sooooo geared towards 14 y/os in terms of sound #but then abiior came out. and i didnt like the singles. and then i came back to it and i fell in love with it.#it's just so weird to simultaneously love something for nostalgic reasons and from just appreciating good art #like its all shitty nostalgia bait. but it's also genius in its conception. but also not all the concepts work in execution. but also the #raw unpolished shittiness of those things are compelling in their own way.#basically basically. i cant get over the way their music grew up with me. and also im a sucker for any art that has something to say #about the digital age #i sort of love their music like i love my siblings lol. like i have always loved my siblings even when my relationship to them is miserable.#i grew up and around you i cant exactly extract you from who i am
