People can do all manner of stuff when they are really angry. It could be anything, but my advice is that no matter what anyone is doing, it is necessary that they don't make moves that they would regret later.

For you, how do you get to handle being really angry?

i was up way too late last night trying to nail this one riff and it hit me how some chords just feel so *nocturnal* while others are just... morning energy, yknow?? idk if its the mood im in or if its something about the sound itself but its wild!! maybe its the lighting in the room or the fact that im listening through headphones half asleep but i cant help thinking some tracks would hit different if you only played em during their ~time~... like imagine a whole playlist calibrated to the hour of the day. actually that might be a fun experiment?? also side note does anyone know any tracks that feel super *dawn-ish* cause im drawing a blank rn and itd be cool to have examples. unless thats just me being weird again lol...

How close are you to your siblings? Are you the type who is always reaching out to them at all times? How have you been handling certain situations that relate to them and the challenges that they face?

like i get wanting to be creative or quirky but why is it always stuff like ‘golden hour vibes’ or ‘rainy day chill’ when half the songs are just midtempo synthwave or whatever cant we just call it what it is. also why are there so many sunset themed playlists that have zero sunset-appropriate songs. im pretty sure ‘bittersweet symphony’ was not written about watching the sun go down. rant over.

like i get it, it’s catchy, but sometimes it feels lazy?? like you’ve got three minutes to tell me something and instead i’m hearing "baby" or "yeah" for half the song like, on the other hand sometimes it works so well it’s kinda genius (thinking of that one track from midnight glimmers that just says "glow" for ages but it totally fits the vibe they’re so underrated btw if you havent heard their stuff yet you gotta check out their 2024 album it’s like being inside a neon sunset) anyway it makes me wonder if songs like that are more about mood than meaning... or if it’s just bc people remember stuff better when it’s simple?? idk maybe i’m overthinking tbqh i cant even say i hate it bc some of those tracks end up stuck in my head all day!!! also completely unrelated but did yall see that thing about how jupiter’s great red spot is actually shrinking??? wild how even giant planets change over time, makes you think about how everything’s kinda fleeting ok rant over lmao carry on!!

like you know the one — starts all minor and moody then BAM big major lift halfway through. dont get me wrong, its effective as hell and i still fall for it sometimes, but its so overdone it feels like every newbie producer learned it on day 1 and never let go i get wanting to make people feel something but its like... hey maybe try a different trick once in a while? theres a whole keyboard out there honestly im not saying ban it or anything (its still a banger when done right) but it kinda feels like the musical equivalent of using paprika on everything because you heard its a spice. anyway rant over, whats your most overplayed edm trope?

you know that vibe when youre shuffling through racks of old sweaters and chipped mugs and everything smells faintly of wood polish and mothballs? theres something about that feeling — nostalgic but not too heavy, kinda comforting but also like youre in this weird limbo where time doesnt matter. i feel like theres a whole genre of songs like that but i cant quite pin it down. maybe something acoustic? or with light synth that doesnt overpower? idk man, it just feels like the kind of music youd hear faintly over speakers while you debate whether to buy a ceramic frog or not. examples welcome. lowkey also if youve got a thrift store story, drop it, my last find was a cookbook from 1973 with recipes for "space-age jello salads" so clearly im doing something right.

like, it's like every week there’s another limited vinyl pressing of some band that had one semi-hit in 1983 and then vanished into obscurity. i get that nostalgia sells but who’s actually buying this stuff? is it just middle-aged dudes trying to relive their college radio days or what? dont get me wrong, some of it’s decent, but it feels like theyre scraping the bottom of the barrel at this point. like, how many more post-punk b-sides collections do we need? ...

like i get it, you want my vacation pics to pop or whatever, but now the sky looks like a cartoon and i cant tell if im looking at a sunset or the default windows xp wallpaper cant we just have normal colors without slapping a filter on everything? its not like im trying to sell these as fine art prints, just let me take a regular photo of some clouds.

like seriously, it feels like half the genre is just 'driving down a long road' or 'left on the highway to nowhere' or whatever. think about it — life is a highway, born to be wild, take it easy even stuff like thunder road or free bird kinda fits if you squint. and dont get me started on springsteen. i get that its a good metaphor for freedom or escape but its so overdone at this point. like cant we get some variety? what about trains or boats or bikes even? idk man it just feels lazy after a while, like writers ran out of other ways to say 'im going somewhere.'

also side note: anyone else think the 'open road' trope is way more compelling in country music? at least there its tied to actual stories half the time instead of just abstract vibes anyway rant over, what do yall think?
