Freshman year I went through an industrial phase so I was really into stuff like Rammstein, KMFDM, Skinny Puppy, Revolting Cocks, etc. Sophomore year is kind of a blur but I remember listening to a lot of LCD Soundsystem and Kraftwerk. Junior year I got REALLY into shit like Bikini Kill, Hole, Sleater-Kinney, etc. Also went through a good month or two where I was only listening to ska. I have no recollection of anything I did during senior year so idk what I listening to lol

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 couldn’t 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. that’s the bulk of what i can remember from my teen years.

Grade 10 and into grade 11 was a lot of emo/"screamo"/pop-punk (My Chemical Romance, The Academy Is..., Cute Is What We Aim For, Cobra Starship, The Devil Wears Prada, Chiodos, Taking Back Sunday, Brand New, Get Up Kids, etc.)
Moving further into grade 11, it was grew more into the indie+more (Ting Tings, MGMT, Arcade Fire, LCD Soundsystem, Tegan and Sara, Metric, Justice, Chromeo, The Prodigy, Flight of the Conchords, Band of Horses, The Submarines, Natalie Portman's Shaved Head, The Moldy Peaches/Kimya Dawson, Bloc Party, Vampire Weekend, Peaches, Regina Spektor, omg so many).
Twelfth grade I leaned reallyyyyy hard into my whole Yearning phase before I left for college so a lot of Stars, Sufjan Stevens, Rilo Kiley, Beirut, The Naked and Famous, The Decemberists, Phoenix, Foster the People, The Smiths (lol)...
The list could go on and on, but it was a fun time, musically.

Work literally destroys the soul. Everyone is exhausted all the time because performing labor and maintaining the human spirit are incompatible with each other. We live under a system that wants everyone beaten down and isolated and having little energy to make plans with those you love is a symptom of a larger, evil system
