A confusing array of genres and artists

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.

I LIVED MANY MUSICAL LIVES IN HIGH SCHOOL

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.
