Rock music is more important than a soundtrack for escaping to everything is perfect land. It is a release, a cleansing. A friend who walks with you, assuring you are not alone in your pain. A channel for working through what is easier to suppress or morph into hate. It is messy and necessary.

I am volunteering as a standardized test tutor for high schoolers and I am very excited about coming up with lesson plans and remembering geometry and being inspired

Someone in real life confirming you are not the problem in a given situation is a hell of a drug.

Every time I think of the times this person was nice to me, I shrivel up in a trauma response, which is not great

A flower delivery trial subscription is probably the only subscription that delights you when you realize you forgot to cancel it

Of course there are young people obsessed with music, but overall, they engage with it differently, both in terms of how they discover music, how they listen to it, and how / if they become a super fan of an artist

SIDE BANGS @sidebangsmusic.com · 18h

“Music discovery is traditionally associated with youth, but today’s 16-24-year-olds are less likely than 25-34-year-olds to have discovered an artist they love in the last year – and less likely to listen to more music from that artist when they do.”

This was based on something I read about an teens leaving TikTok to stream artists less, and the scarcity factor that made you cherish the albums you did have (unless you lived in a record store)

Why sit down to eat a balanced meal on a plate at a table when you can meet all of your caloric needs with Snickers bars and Cheetos

I would hate to fill my childhood and teenage years watching 30 second sound bites instead of getting absolutely obsessed with like 7 of the records I could afford

Gran parte de esto está preparado y guionado. “¡Mírame escribir esta canción en tiempo real! Honestamente lo he estado practicando durante una semana y no escribí nada, pero el sello me dijo que hiciera esto”
