Playlist
It’s difficult to express yourself with other people’s material, so I just put together some songs that I particularly like and hope that they paint a picture themselves a little bit.
I see myself as a relaxed person in general and the music I listen to seems to reflect that. Lately I’ve really been into chillwave acts like Millionyoung and Brothertiger and bands like Animal Collective and Of Montreal, which I don’t know the genre of exactly (Wikipedia is telling me that it is “Neo-psychedelia”). What music I want to listen to depends on my mood at any given time, but usually I find myself attracted to downtempo and synthy music.
When I’m feeling higher energy I listen to rap. I started listening to a lot of 90s East Coast rap kind of ironically when I was in middle school, but now truly connect with. The Wu Tang Clan, the Beastie Boys, and a few other 80s/90s rap acts have a fun but destructive tone to them that I relate to and really get into. Old Dirty Bastard (Rest in peace) in particular inspires me as somebody who just didn’t care what people thought, if his music was good, or if he was saying actual words. To just channel a particularly light aspect of yourself like that is really valuable and I love his music for it and I’m listening to him right now, so this blog is dedicated to him. Why not. We love and miss you Old Dirty Bastard.
Anyway, thanks for reading my blog. The opinion might be biased, but I think my music is pretty sweet so listen to it. everything everyone has posted so far has been cool. See you around.
