really wierd blend of stuff.... so i was super into kpop (specifically 2ne1, bigbang, BAP,& ftisland..but also kept up with mainstream mv drops and also eventually expanded into like ballads& then way later underground khiphop/rnb), i also rly like a handful of bollywood movie soundtracks(big into bollywood rom coms then so i had like specific songs from different soundtracks i was super into), also i always liked rap and stuff but my brother reallyy was a hiphop head at the time so i listened to some albums and songs thst he sent me so like kendrick, tupac, black star, biggie, asap rocky, nas, etc and thennn i found the 96.3 radio that just plays like oldschool rnb so then i reallly got into 90s, then 70s/80s rnb then got into soul and disco. whilst also being rly into like kdrama soundracks. i also didn't rly form an identity in hs .... more so in college. so i wasnt part of any subculture or dressing in any particular style to represent my music taste

freshman year was hot off the coat tails of my emo/scene years. somehow transitioned from that to mostly bachata and reggaeton. lots of joey bada$$ / pro era new york rap as well. and i loved lana del rey.
sophomore year was a blur i couldnāt tell you. probably the same with a bit more rap. loved me some lorde tho. i think i also stumbled upon genesis by grimes around this time.
junior year i discovered fka twigs and it changed me. it was a lot of her and childish gambino. anime soundtracks and j-rock too. lots of nujabes bc i had just watched samurai champloo. ultraviolence came out that year. it was crazy.
senior year was a lot. i got back into kpop + k r&b for a bit (had a brief stint in middle school). i was really into mac demarco and loved kali uchis down. i also discovered kilo kish this year. i graduated in the infancy of the flower boy peach sunflower era so that should inform you on what my tastes were morphing into.
i also have awful memory in general but looking back makes me realize i truly tell time through music. thatās the bulk of what i can remember from my teen years.

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.

Class of 21 šš I didnāt go to class in person for more than a month and kinda memoryholed the last half of high school because of it. So many months of my life are almost completely blacked out and I canāt fit more important events on a timeline anymore. Itās super weird and I havenāt summoned the desire to work through it yet.. I vaguely remember being into early Kanye for a few weeks around graduation. I was raised with my parentsā love for Springsteen and grunge and the like which is an ideal foundation. I really loves The Pillows and still do, I watched FLCL and Samurai Champloo pretty closely together in like 2017(?). I distinctly remember finishing Champloo in a hotel on an overnight cross country trip. Those soundtracks have stuck with me since then.
I think I just didnāt listen to a lot of music though.. never used Spotify or anything so I would just pull videos on YouTube when I wanted to hear something. I had a flash drive Iād plug into my car when I wanted something specific. I had a couple Bowie albums on there randomly.. Springsteen of course, Michael Jackson, a couple Tyler albums, sonic highways by foo fighters.. the massive bulk of what Iām into now only really developed after high school when I started thinking for myself and seeking new stuff out.. part of me feels like I had two separate āgaining sentienceā moments being early childhood of course and then later again as I turned 19-20.. this got off track but was interesting to reminisce on !!

i was so so sad at work yesterday and i guess my coworker heard it in my voice and then asked me to share the highlight of my day (but phrased it in a way that his day was so mid that he wanted to hear some good news) and i didnt rly have anything much so i said how i made myself a sandwich for lunch and i usually dont eat properly so it made me happy. and then him and my other coworker just got super excited about it and asked for all the details and even when i was like its only a veggie sandwich nothing special they hyped it up and it rly made me feel important. i still felt down for the rest of that shift bc i was in my own head but at least in that moment they really made me feel better and i was grateful for their efforts.
