my drawing of me listening to music

I like music a lot. I listen to it all the time. I make a lot of art inspired by music and relate a lot of my lived experiences to music. I like it enough to say that I listen to "everything" but there's some specific kinds of music I would say describe me as a person.

  1. Electronic (2000s breakcore, glitch, experimental, noise)
  2. Nu metal, alt metal, rock, industrial

Anything loud, energetic, angry. That's the kind of music I enjoy and identify with most. But I don't always want to listen to music that makes your ears bleed. One of my my guilty pleasure genre is vaporwave; Luxury Elite, Telepath, Windows 96.

Because I listen to "everything" I don't feel the point telling every genre I like a couple songs from. I think it's good to be open to everything musically while having those types of music that actually reflect who you are.

HOW I LISTEN

I'm not an "audiophile" so I don't go all out in that way. I use what I got. Bluetooth earbuds, earphones, my shitty headset. So long as the bass is good I don't care.

Most of the time I use Audacious and listen to my local library of music. This player lets you use Winamp skins from the [Winamp Skin Museum]. I like the freedom and control I have over the music I wanna listen to. If I'm out of my house or can't get to my PC then I still use Spotify but that's the only time I use it these days. I plan getting a portable music player when I can.

NOTABLE ALBUMS

These are listed in alphabetical order, not by favorites. Though every top favorite of mine is in bold. If the title has an ellipsis (...) hover it to see the full name.

NOTABLE ARTISTS

  1. Lauren Bousfield - (Including all her projects.) She's my top artist of all time. I discovered her in 2022 and have had her as #1 since. I made a [page] about her a while ago.
  2. 芸能山城組 - Geinoh Yamashirogumi. Amazing collective. Made the Akira soundtrack so I'm biased but I enjoy everything they make beyond their "Akira sound."
  3. Nine Inch Nails - So much of their music means something to me. With Teeth will forever be my favorite NIN Album but I also like Pretty Hate Machine, Broken, The Downward Spiral, Year Zero and Add Violence.
  4. Slipknot - I'm edgy, I like edgy music. I've been hearing Slipknot for decades now. I kinda wish they'd break up and be done with it, their time's passed, but Vol 3 and Iowa will always be favorites.
  5. Death Grips - Varied sound, varied visual language. They're famous for a reason and they make amazing music what else can I say.

My honorable mentions: Daft Punk, Evanescence, Melt-Banana, KFC Murder Chicks, Pisca, Linkin Park, Doddodo, Drumcorps, System Of A Down, Crystal Castles, Machine Girl, Poppy, Graham Kartna, Ada Rook, Death's Dynamic Shroud, TOOL, Femtanyl, Toby Fox

VIDEO GAME OST

These are separate from the main albums because it's easier. I play a lot of video games... Not as much anymore but these are all the video game soundtracks I like along with some of my favorite tracks off them.
