The mid-to-late-90s corpus of "Midwest" angsty suburbs emo is pretty massive and you don't really need to worry about running out of this style of music IMO. My personal favorite in and around the genre though is actually from New Jersey – Chris Leo (brother of Ted) delivers the characteristic tone of bittersweet/oblique-nostalgia-of-the-recent-and-hyperspecific-past with unique (and truly underappreciated) bookish sprechgesang vocals, Television-level guitar interplay, and politely epic chiming breakdowns.

wikipedia browsing is a great pass time in general. you learn so much new information you would’ve never normally seek out and it makes you full of fun facts and random knowledge. being high just increases the vibes by 1000%
i’ve always been a blackout curtain/shades kinda person but you really underestimate how good natural light is for your soul. LET THE LIGHT IN! even if it’s dreary and gross out!!!
regardless of if it's a children or adult set they are so incredibly fun. not only that but they are very rewarding to build and are a good stress relieving activity that's good for your brain! they have so many cool sets and things to build... the possibilities are endless
