their music represents a snapshot of my young adulthood it’s nuts… I met Kevin at afree a show in corpus and hung with the broader crew at whataburger one time. I got the couch tattooed on my ankle years later as a token of memory
randomly started listening to harry styles's first album and was surprised to find that still knew all the lyrics by heart - i felt transported back to when i was 13 it's interesting how you can so strongly associate music you were listening to with a period of a life
I started high school during the end of my kpop era transitioning into my hipster indie Tumblr era which stuck around until the end. But I was committed to the emo trinity (fall out boy, my chemical romance, panic! at the disco) too. And dabbling in post hardcore. I was a music kid so naturally I loved musical theatre. This was peak Hamilton era. I also loved going to the opera and ended up listening to a lot of operas too. By the end of high school CTRL by SZA just came out and everyone was in their r&b, hiphop and rap era. Just in time for me to get into Brockhampton for first year uni. I wish I had a picture of my music stand from this era. I doodled all over it with band logos and lyrics.
