music

i really love listening to music. i think it's because of my parents, they've always had a speaker playing something ever since i was a kid. you can def see my mom's music taste in mine, we still like the same songs to this day.

music has always played a big role in my life, mostly bc i met cool people through being a fan of certain artists and also bc english lyrics helped me learn the language... since music means so much to me, i have a really hard time picking just a few fav songs.

i listen to music on spotify, track my habits on last.fm and i have a cd collection that's currently on hiatus.

preferences

stuff i like

  • girly pop;
  • anime opening songs;
  • lyrics that tell a story;
  • 2000s pop;
  • choreography;
  • live versions;
  • songs with addictive sounds (clapping, mouth noises, finger snaps);
  • when the sound moves from the left earbud to the right and back;

stuff i tend to avoid

  • screaming;
  • k-pop ballads;
  • brazilian funk;
  • 2-minute songs;
  • songs that give me the ick;
  • lyrics that don't rhyme
  • trap, rap, country;
  • "girlboss anthems" that sound basic and commercial;
  • vocaloid;

* there are always exceptions!

listening habits

  • i hate at first but get obsessed with later: yeah... happens more than i'd like to admit;
  • the more i like a song, the louder i play it;
  • which is why i hate it when earphones/headphones aren't loud enough or the speaker can't handle bass properly;
  • i listen to music while doing literally everything except showering, reading and studying;
  • i usually listen to songs individually and on shuffle: i'll only listen to a whole album in order when it's new or if i just discovered it;
  • i'd rather save songs to "liked songs" than make playlists;
  • when i'm obsessed with a song, i really go all in... like 70+ plays in a day;
  • when i'm not listening to music, i'm probably humming something anyway;
  • lyrics matter a lot to me: i won't stop listening to a song just bc the lyrics are mid, but i definitely appreciate it way more when the lyrics are actually well written;
