HE WAS A SK8ER BOI, SHE SAID SEE YOU L8ER BOI

[sullen harbor]

Wish I had some good songs to share (not that the ones I did arnt good, just not that wellknown haha)

[eternal aurora]

Have you seen some of the songs I've shared? Well-known is not a requirement! Always good to help people discover new music

[ivory pawn]

yeah i'm just posting random emo songs i come across, whether they're well-known or not!

i'm just going through a hell of an emo phase lifestyle 🙄

[ivory pawn]

little break from the emo music 😂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtfxSAnOgoU

absolutely love this song

[willow wave]

hopping into this super late but i recently started listening to my chemical romance a bit more again😅

[ivory pawn]

WOOOOO!!

you have very good taste in music :P

[willow wave]

lmao, well I was 2 when the black parade came out so gotta catch up 😌

[iron goblet]

Emperor's New Clothes by Panic! at the Disco was an end of an era, but also a fantastic finish and will always be on the top of any playlist i make with MCR, FOB, All-American Rejects, Green Day, and Paramore 😌 ||I also formally submit Brandon Urie as the Devil for my Hear Me Out Cake|| 10/10 rec for u emo awakening peoples https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qFF2v8VsaA

[ivory pawn]

i did!! i had no idea they were written one after the other lol, it's so smooth 🤩

[sullen harbor]

@granite quarry I bought a book of old children's songs and rhimes. Some have music notes and regional variations in the lyrics

For some reason, most are very aggressive haha

[granite quarry]

Hahahahaha kids' stories and songs can be hilariously horrifying.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Millennials/s/6TuTyfTbs7 what’s your Coachella age? ||45 ||

[desert walrus]

[umbral imp]

[eternal aurora]

My bf and I are both about 52. He says "counter argument: the Coachella line-up is shit this year"

He also made me write that ^

[ivory pawn]

your bf is so real

[iron goblet]

🥲 55 (and I felt really confident by the first three I’d know more.. boy was that a miscalculation )

[willow wave]

some of these sound AI-generated

[ivory pawn]

same vibes

[willow wave]

I think K-Smog and Batboy were on that lineup

[timid sorrel]

lol i'm 60

[sonic eagle]

51 smh

[agile mantle]

Oh no 63 😂

[desert walrus]

Guess I'm the oldest here 😎

[tardy rain]

https://open.spotify.com/track/5ebr2Bcc8UcoTpVRbXpFHJ?si=xIBic_xyTdy_LNy9VnN4bA had to send the demo for this song bc spotify is dumb and deleted the original

will send a lot of random songs here often :)

[viscid comet]

know or actively listen to? Because just going by "heard of" I'm at 63 and that is depressing enough 😂

[willow wave]

I went by heard of

[desert walrus]

Actively listen to would have me at 70 lol

[viscid comet]

yeah, I read the title, so I guess that rules out the listening requirement, but half of the names sound like something i might have come across in a different context where it wasn't musicians, so it's hard to actually recongise any of them as bands and typing this out makes me realise that's the whole thing of this post nvm

[rigid glade]

tell him: Missy Elliot, the Go-Go's, Three 6 Mafia, Kraftwerk, Circle Jerks, and whatever Yo Gabba Gabba is going to do will be amazing

Honestly, I bet Yo Gabba has one of the best sets of the weekend lolol

I will be watching the live stream for sure

i'm 34

[exotic panther]

Good luck to all who celebrate Whamaggedon

[elder cipher]

circle jerks at coachella is wild

[exotic panther]

Let’s see those Spotify Wrapped!

[unreal pond]

😅

[iron goblet]

But what are your Wrapped Eras tho ? 👀

[unreal pond]

https://www.instagram.com/share/BBLp5xYbSH

[iron goblet]

“We Listen and We Don’t Judge” 😌

[viscid comet]

lmao accurate

in summary: I am not okay, and it shows 😂

[viscid comet]

nice! which artist?

[unreal pond]

Rainbow Kitten Surprise 😂

[viscid comet]

guess that name is a surprise to me :P not familiar with the band

I did get my 3rd year in a row "top 100 listeners" for Cécile Corbel, which was nice :)

did not expect this one though

[umbral imp]

@iron goblet we had similar Mays LOL

[unreal pond]

I'll be brave and share. No doubt I have wide music tastes 😛

I really don't understand how Zach Bryan is #2. Like I listen to him but I would have thought others would have been way way higher

(my personal intervention)

[umbral imp]

Yeah some of mine are a bit wonky too

[viscid comet]

yeah I definitely get that too. I knew Julien Baker would be most played artist this year, but I was not sure about the rest of the top 5, and what order they would be in

I really do wish that apple had the kind of overview where it showed top 5 in one image, rather than needing to share a bunch of images with the set

Edit: turns out there is a way, located in the whole section to press the "share summary" button, which does give an overview which is not the same as the last page of the video

[willow wave]

Mine just called me out for randomly listening to more rap and hip hop during the summer than at all in the rest of the year

[iron goblet]

👀 which Epic saga is your fave tho

[viscid comet]

if I had to pick a favourite child... probably the Ocean saga because of how much I was focusing on the leifmotifs when I first listened it

[agile mantle]

Last frame in case you’re not familiar with the top songs (as weirdly, none of them are from my top artists?)

[agile mantle]

My husband was in the top 1% of Spotify minutes with just over 100,000… do you ever turn your music off? 😅

[viscid comet]

haha yeah, I do actually. Last year was absurd, I had somehow managed to hit 351k minutes by the end of the year. But I haven't had a month this year where I had less than 20k minutes of play time, so it quickly adds up. I often have music on to ground if I get flashbacks again. Plus I'm almost always at home, which also adds up to the count

[iron goblet]

😭 Lena

[agile mantle]

My husband works from home and has the sort of ADHD where he listens to music in one ear bud, layers his noise cancelling headphones with a meeting in them over top, and one of his 3 monitors is usually streaming a muted movie with subtitles 😂

It gives me anxiety to even look at his set up

[agile mantle]

True Rent fans didn’t need to look it up 😂

[iron goblet]

Smh I get the numbers mixed up 🤣 it’s “dah dah dah dadadadah da six hundred minutes” in my head

[viscid comet]

yeah like I said: I'm not okay, and I'm aware of it 😂

[agile mantle]

We gotchu

[willow wave]

Do you have music on while you sleep as well?

[viscid comet]

it's okay, I can joke about it because my music stats have always been intense

[agile mantle]

I feel like mine would have been wild before I had kids but now I really like moments of no sound 😂

[willow wave]

I see a lot of your music is mellower than anything I listen to, so that's why I ask if you have it on to sleep too

[agile mantle]

That’s a good point, mine is very “I’m actively screaming along”

[willow wave]

I think 80% of what I listened to in November was literally just my chemical romance

[viscid comet]

on the bad nights, when I know I'll be likely be dealing with nightmares, though I oftne enough also skip a night if I realise it will less awful for my body rhythm to deal with that than with the aftereffects of flashbacks

(do not recommend)

[willow wave]

makes sense. I think my "most listened" day was the day I woke up to having found that I, in my sleep, turned on spotify and started listening to music

I think I literally woke up to kelly clarkson too 🤣 whAT?

[agile mantle]

I go on benders. I listened to the same Rise Against album straight through, 9 times. In one day.

Then didn’t listen to it again for a year but there it is on my wrapped 😂

[viscid comet]

some years that definitely shows up in mine too, Foo Fighters with most played song and MCR second, in 2018 I think. Other years I just listen enough that those will still show up, but not as high

[viscid comet]

mostly in the top 5 are more mellow, as all of those bar Malin Lewis are in a playlist together that I listen to a lot. But things like Saint Chaos, Neoni, Hot Milk, Raye, Taylor Acorn, Aurora, or any of those others are a lot less suitable for that 😂

[agile mantle]

I’m usually pretty pop heavy with a smattering of punk and alt rock. Music fuels my need to sing at the top of my lungs, and to rage against the system 😂

[elder cipher]

does youtube do a wrapped? i refuse to support spotify

[viscid comet]

it does, I saw one earlier for youtube music

[elder cipher]

my kids have probably destroyed it, i bet its chaos. im gonna go find it

aw man it says check back later. TBD

[willow wave]

Check back later by TBD is one of my favorites

[elder cipher]

it's all 5 of my spots!

[elder cipher]

the clash and bowie are both awesome

[eternal aurora]

Ah yes, of course

[marsh igloo]

It’s really sad that all of Jason Mraz, Kate Nash, the Hoosiers, and Ra Ra Riot just barely missed the cut.

[toxic trail]

ahhh here is where the wrapped convo is

thanks jen!

[marsh igloo]

any of the british folk in here have Pete and Bas in their top 5?

[scenic fractal]

We're out of sad queer hours. We're into rage queer hours

[glacial girder]

Musical soundtracks my beloved ❤️

[viscid comet]

yes! also "wolf" is by far the song I listen to most of First Aid Kit; I've not listened to more of their recent work though

[timid sorrel]

I don’t have Spotify but here’s my husband’s 😄 and I end up listening to it too

[strange zinc]

Witchy alt 😍

Looks like my 75449 minutes are a lot 😄

[verbal anvil]

I’m assuming you listen to Epic given the Jorge Rivera-Herrans?

[verbal anvil]

Same, during the summer, although mine was… a little different

[eternal aurora]

There's an All Star Owl City remix?!

[timid sorrel]

yeahhh! it's fun!

[viscid comet]

yup, which is pretty obvious 😅

[verbal anvil]

Yup, I also listen to Epic(which you probably already thought)

[viscid comet]

in my experience it's a name mostly known by those that also listen to Epic 😆

So I'll ask what Ana asked me earlier: what's your favourite saga?

[verbal anvil]

I haven’t actually listened to all the sagas. I like the Troy Saga though

[rain yew]

😅😅

[glacial girder]

My top song for them this year is « Emmylou ». Same, I haven’t listened to recent stuff. I discovered them through Lion’s Roar, which was the music for the video game The Long Dark

[verbal anvil]

Perfect for the 2 minutes before Marvel Rivals releases.

[dusty ether]

An interesting mix of metal/metalcore and pop lol

[elder cipher]

spiritbox 🔥

[dusty ether]

Yes 🔥🔥I’m going to go see them live in April on their new tour

[viscid comet]

getting a feeling that the Ithaca saga might become my new fav (best christmas present!), just for the instrumentations. I've been listening to the 30 second trailer for the past hour and a half, I kid you not. Can't wait to hear the rest in a few weeks 🤞

[iron goblet]

Same!!! I’ve been obsessed with The Challenge since he leaked snippets a while ago! And I can’t wait for the official audio

[sullen harbor]

Went to a concert yesterday, and actually could see the stage haha

[rain yew]

bjork and kate bush = exquisite taste

[dusty ether]

Yes they’re great

[dusty ether]

Is this Nightwish?

[sullen harbor]

No, Within Temptation^^

[dusty ether]

ahh nice!

[sullen harbor]

Went to a concert of them once, but we were so far away i didnt see anything. So this time we tried to get close

[hot wing]

Great, now all I need is stuck in my head

[sullen harbor]

Well that's a good one to have😉

[hot wing]

Better than Tiny Tim that’s for sure

[granite quarry]

Music nerds, what's your favorite phrase to help you remember a polyrhythm?

Here are two:

• 3 against 4 ||shit my girlfriends pregnant||
• 4 against 5 ||my girlfriend's pregnant, don't know what do to||

Talking with my sister about these today and I figured you all would have some good other ones.

@timid sorrel @scenic pecan @flint grove

[flint grove]

Y'all have phrases to remember polyrhythms? 🤣😭

[hot wing]

WHAT

[flint grove]

I know logically there is stuff for this but I am bad with the vocalizing syllables for a rhythm thing

E.g. in lessons I've had teachers have me vocalize stuff for 5- or 7-lets

[hot wing]

Forgot what a polyrhythm is but a quick video reminded me from back in my teens and yeah I’ll get banned

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbHfgXJKn1Y

if I ever take voice lessons again I’m doing this one first (my vocal cords are gonna hate me)

[scenic pecan]

Hmm...the only one I remember using was He-mi-o-la-pho-bi-a (4 against 3)

if it's your parents music, please let me down gently and just say it came up on youtube or something

[hot wing]

I’m 25, but I have a vast taste in music. Found it via other 90’s emo genre bands like my fave, Mineral.

[elder cipher]

You are wise beyond your years

[hot wing]

Found the album at a local record shop a while back, took me a minute to realize that I had actually found a copy 🤣

[elder cipher]

i was a musician in a previous life, and i was fortunate enough to play with a bunch of 90s/early 00s emo/alternative bands

[ivory pawn]

my favourite type of band :O

[hot wing]

Nice! I’ve been looking for a good copy of Mineral’s album “The power of failing” but no luck yet and all the copies on eBay and Discogs are about as expensive as a subscription to a forbidden to talk about website in Music

[elder cipher]

i got to play a few piebald and jimmy eat world shows on their tour, i got to play with story of the year, all american rejects, the used

[hot wing]

I got to play in guitar hero once as a kid 🤣

[elder cipher]

[hot wing]

Unfortunately I didn’t get the musical talent gene

[elder cipher]

or, if you're good at yelling you dont even have to play anything

[hot wing]

I can sing and I can write songs that’s it. I can play basic guitar chords and power chords but that’s it

[elder cipher]

My great grandfather should’ve given me some of his musical talent. He could play
Fiddle

Piano
Sing

[ivory pawn]

been obsessed with this artist for a while :3
https://open.spotify.com/track/3nV3DTToLvJS1ojQESROih?si=fac34e8161df43ed

totally recommend for anyone into breakcore/hyperpop

[viscid comet]

@iron goblet @verbal anvil as you're probably well aware of, Epic's Ithaca saga launched at midnight Christmas day, which is local timezones. I just listened to it, and have a lot of thoughts and feelings which I'll summarise as "oh wow!"
Quite different from what I had expected, but it's a ride, and I like it. Obsessed with the leitmotifs already, and will probably listen another dozen times once I've slept 😅

My first favorite band

[iron goblet]

I've been listening to "Would You Fall In Love With Me Again" about 3000x times since release and it's going to absolutely ruin my Spotify Wrapped next year 😩 but I have sobbed every time. Definitely the best Saga of all of them 😩

👀 and it's only got me more pumped for the Christopher Nolan version of The Odyssey too 👀

[viscid comet]

it's so good! the entire saga is soooo good!! and yeah I totally understand with ruining your wrapped 😂
I've also been listening to "the challenge" a lot

[iron goblet]

The challenge is so good too 😭 this was the reunion i wanted and it's perfect ❤️

[viscid comet]

yes!

I've even been attempting to make some edits, and it's literal years since I last attempted that for anything 😂 I'm not happy with them yet

[unreal pond]

Let's play a music game: Who's your most slept-on band or artist?

For me - Tv On The Radio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6qCnRe3KDw
And 90s edition-- Collective Soul (you probably know multiple of their songs but they have such a range that I don't think people realize they're the same group_ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_m0bI82Rz_k

[iron goblet]

Nina Nesbitt - I’ve been following her since she was a teen and I have always adored her music and how it’s evolved as she’s grown up 👌

[ivory pawn]

probably Alien Sex Fiend or Sugarplastic

i came across Sugarplastic a few years ago and was honestly baffled at how underappreciated they are, their music is so beautiful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eLmNBIi2k8

[exotic panther]

Most of my artists I would have answered this with have now gone mainstream 😅 Ummm but I’ll say Billie Marten. She has such an ethereal, sleepy voice that just calms me right down.

[eternal aurora]

Both very solid choices

[eternal aurora]

Maybe The Hoosiers? I absolutely love some of their earlier albums, but they never seemed to make it in the US

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61GrbjeNc1E

Ooh and Ludo! They had one song that did well commercially, but they have so many good - and really funny - songs

[hot wing]

70’s: Alice Cooper (The band, not Alice)
80’s: Idk not an 80’s music fan
90’s: Mineral
00’s: Fuel (well, technically 90’s too but released more albums in the 00’s)

[unreal pond]

I think they can still be mainstream and underrated; just not the popularity you think they deserve

[unreal pond]

Shimmer by Fuel is my favorite song

[hot wing]

Speaking of fuel
Just realized Brett Scallions is mutual Facebook friends with a cousin of mine…

What does most slept on mean?

[unreal pond]

Underrated

[warped orchid]

Hemlocke Springs!!! Her EP "going...going...GONE" is very good, and she writes and produces her music primarily on her own. She recently has been opening for Doja Cat since 2024, and will likely drop her debut album this year

I'm pretty sure she's going to blow up at some point!

I've been following her since she released girlfriend in 2023

@exotic panther Hemlocke Springs is apparently one of Chappell Roan's favourite singers, so you could call her "Your favourite artist's favourite artist's favourite artist"

[unreal pond]

I just listened to one of my favorite artist's Tiny Desk set... for like five minutes before I had to turn it off so it wouldn't ruin my 90s perception of them. No so good 😅

[eternal aurora]

Third Eye Blind?

[unreal pond]

Yes lol

[eternal aurora]

If it's any consolation, I saw them live in like 2012 or so and they were really good. Maybe just getting old

[halcyon basin]

Lol just watched 30 seconds of that. That was rough

[unreal pond]

This was in 2000 when I first saw them- a write up of the festival peformance I saw

It was 25 years ago but I don't remember it being that bad

[unreal pond]

I don't think that was the right song a ALL to start off with. Like edgy yeah - but I don't think gen-z would like it and he didn't sing it wel.

@unreal pond I wanna know your opinion on this song from my Dutch childhood https://youtu.be/ONI8xlyZIyo?si=mHty5v9i1iMlW555

[agile mantle]

You are of a different generation than me, whether literally or metaphorically 😅 I know a few songs from most of them but wouldn’t call myself a fan. I do enjoy most of what I know! And my kid’s middle name is Bowie so uh. We’re big fans.

We chose it because we feel like his name represents his openness about who he was, his confidence, and his ability to adapt to pretty much anything.

[hot wing]

The byrds were a childhood favorite of mine

[elder cipher]

i like quite a few of those. donovan is one of my wife's favorites, sonic youth and the clash are probably my fave 2 on the list

and love bowie, especially as ziggy stardust

[hot wing]

Childhood favorite bands/musicians that had a major impact on me and future favorites:

1. Alice Cooper (1964-1974)
2. Little Feat (1969-1979)
3. Deep Purple (1968-1976)

Ella Fitzgerald show I worked last week was amazing

The absolute chokehold LFO Summer Girls had on us elder millennials will never be achieved again by any other song

[bitter fiber]

The title is misleading, Red Hot Chili Peppers, BSB, Shania Twain, etc are all there. Def not one hit wonders lol

[bitter fiber]

Too. Real.

[unreal pond]

Why I don't know. It's a pretty terrible song. And that elder millennial dude hair is very present in this

[bitter fiber]

wtf m'am
call me willy whistle cause i can't speak baby
thats pure poetry 😂

[unreal pond]

We made this song so much of our identity it forever changed how we dressed - Abercrombie wasn't not super present until this. But damn did we zero in on that.
Also this playlist - it's like I'm back in Hollister trying to squint in the dim light to see what i'm buying- choking on the fumes of dressed up Axe bodyspray

I think that we can talk about this without breaking #rules 5 (no politics). Every chancellor in Germany gets to choose 3 walkoff songs played by the military band, and the latest one chose Respect (by Otis Redding, famously sung by Aretha Franklin).

our rock radio station at the time was 92.3, and they put on 'low dough shows' for 92 cents. i got to play with lots of one hit wonders

I don't know why this song has such a chokehold on me atm

I like how spotify outs me as having listened to it 89 times recently 😅

[uneven smelt]

Only if you are discord friends, and it was 29 times 😉

[halcyon basin]

I can't stand RadioHead but glad you like it

[iron goblet]

Honestly discord outing listening habits on Spotify recently is rude 🤣

[unreal pond]

Two days ago I paused my queue (what a weird word) and took a nap. At some point I wake up, hours later, and check my phone and it's playing some weird ass gospel music. So this years Wrapped might get interesting. I was being so cool this year too.

[willow wave]

Yeah but it’s radiohead, that’s normal. In fact you should listen to it more

[willow wave]

I accidentally left it on while sleeping once and Kelly Clarkson woke me up

[halcyon basin]

Listening to Van Morrison Brown Eyed Girl atm

[unreal pond]

That and Tiny Dancer was sang to me a lot by my dad growing up - even now

[halcyon basin]

Aww

[unreal pond]

Also Short People by Randy Newman

Anytime we hear Tiny Dancer we all cry 😂

[halcyon basin]

Funny enough listening to 8675309

[unreal pond]

That definitely got sang to me a lot too lol

Well, I listen to a bunch of sub-genres: Thrash, Nu, Metalcore, Death, Technical Death, Power, Groove. I even listen to a lot of hard rock. If you'd like my spotify DM me

Hbu?

I would say Thrash is definitely my favorite though

Currently I'm listening to Flotsam and Jetsam. Their last two albums (most recent) have been absolute fire

[ivory pawn]

i've been listening to BABYMETAL a lot lately, i love that band. they're a J-pop/heavy metal fusion

Perfect 😄 — here’s a full parody of “Brick House” rewritten as “Brick Wall” that keeps the same rhythm, rhyme scheme, and singable flow so you could actually perform it karaoke-style about a genealogy research block.

---

🎵 “Brick Wall” (Genealogy Parody of Brick House)

[Intro]
Ow, it’s a brick… wall!
(It’s mighty mighty, just lettin’ it all hang out!)
Ow, that brick… wall!
(The records are tough, ain’t gettin’ enough, no doubt!)

---

[Verse 1]
Genealogy strong, my patience long,
Been searchin’ all night and day.
My ancestor hides, no matter what I try,
Those papers just slip away.

---

[Chorus]
That’s a brick… wall!
Mighty, mighty,
Blockin’ my family tree all night!
That’s a brick… wall!
Mighty, mighty,
Researchin’ but it’s outta sight!

---

[Verse 2]
Birth record’s gone, no census drawn,
The courthouse burned down long ago.
I’m diggin’ online, but I still can’t find,
Where Grandma’s people used to go.

---

[Chorus]
That’s a brick… wall!
Mighty, mighty,
Standin’ between me and the light!
That’s a brick… wall!
Mighty, mighty,
Oh this mystery’s watertight!

---

[Bridge / Breakdown]
Shake it down, shake it down now…
DNA, DNA won’t save me!
Shake it down, shake it down now…
FamilySearch just can’t persuade me!

---

[Verse 3]
Well-put together, history’s clever,
But this line won’t give me no clue.
I’ll chase it forever, ‘cause I’m so endeavor’d,
Til I break on through!

---

[Final Chorus / Outro]
She’s a brick… wall!
Mighty, mighty,
Standin’ and refusin’ to fall!
That’s a brick… wall!
Mighty, mighty,
Gonna climb it once and for all!

Ow, it’s a brick… wall!
(Ah genealogy strong!)
That brick… wall!
(Ah mystery tall!)

Oke I'm going through some lists of "songs that make you cry" but I don't agree with most, so i wanna know: What songs make y'all cry? (or think are cryable)

[bright seal]

Just cried this morning to landslide by Fleetwood Mac. I saw a mom on tiktok say that her son picked it for their mother son dance at his wedding and so naturally I had to pretend that I was in that situation so I cried

I guess it was more the situation than the song but the song definitely did not help at all

I’ve also cried to goodbye stranger by Supertramp but once again it’s more situational and the memories it invokes than the song itself.

[umbral imp]

To Build a Home by The Cinematic Orchestra is sad, Funeral by Phoebe Bridgers

[unreal tartan]

i have a newfound love for jazz music, and for Laufey 💙

(This is a bit hard to clarify)

When did the AI using real art to generate images controversy really start to gather steam?

[flint grove]

A: this is not on topic for music, the models doing this for music are a different company mainly
B: like 2023 is when I first saw the topic being discussed but there's probably people talking about LLMs and text to image models with the same issues regarding stolen training data etc earlier than that

[flint grove]

(though tbf the crux of the issue is exactly the same regardless of which, still folks stealing a ton of training data and regurgitating it for profit)

[willow wave]

as far as text models, the copyright issue was definitely being discussed in 2023 since at the end of that year was when the NYT sued over it

[hollow thistle]

Oh my bad

I thought this was tech 🤦

[sonic eagle]

probably 2022 after Stable Diffusion came out
