#... just ignore that the song comes from Nu Carnival

[artsyneurotic]

Who knew I'd get an Emmanellain and Sicard romance quest in my Island Sanctuary? Not that I'm complaining! But of course if FFXIV is gonna give me an anime summer beach episode, I'm going to time it to an appropriate jpop summer song...

yay creepypasta playlist masterlist w/ separate genres for all (100+ songs per playlist ^_^)

jeff the killer - loud, edgy nu metal. meant to replicate the playlist of a 13 year old boy wronged by his environment with suppressed rage. songs a kid who just discovered edge would think are the coolest things on earth, lyrics with excessive swearing, talk of death, murdering or breaking things - or songs about being wronged by others. heavy instrumentals that pack a punch and vocals loud, raw and angry. thats not to say the anger is unjustified. theres genuine hurt in there, even if his teenage angst has kind of exaggerated it.

ben drowned - loud electronic, experimental breakcore. meant to replicate a computer breaking down, freezing up and crashing because of an entity residing within it encapsulated in digits and coding. haunting voices belonging to a 12 year old, grieving his own life lost at the hands of a cult, lashing out and causing others harm as some misguided retribution for himself. lots of glitching sounds, cut off voices and variation in volume, minimal lyrics and mostly the voices in the songs are ghostly, unintelligible voices drowned out by the staticy, artifical sounds, but the bits you can make out sound desperate for help. some of the songs you can sense an intense anger and resentment from, while others sound more resigned and saddened. 

jane the killer - quiet, sorrowful songs from the traditional goth scene, reminiscent of graveyard poems. songs that are angry at the world, that sing about loss of loved ones and of ones own innocence. meant to showcase trauma and grief, repressed in favor of cold, hard revenge. a tone of voice so stoic it matches the unchanging expression on her mask, music detached from feeling and almost mechanical due to the electronic instruments, but despite that the lyrics are raw and come from a real place of anguish. this trad goth girl has nothing left to lose, and she wants her revenge and she wants it done in style.

sally williams - soft, delicate oldies music blanketed with the static of an old gramophone or an out-of-tune piano and the voices of singers long-dead. sounds like it could be played at a little girls tea-party, surrounded by friends and toys and drinking water in plastic cups - or possibly in an abandoned building, caved-in ceilings and debris covering a busted up radio the songs emit from as a little girl with blood dripping down her forehead materializes. the instruments can be lulling or haunting -  the songs have a worn-out innocence to them. though theres something sentimental about these old tunes, theres something not right here.

eyeless jack - loud instrumentals with soft vocals and vice versa. meant to sound a little creepy, someone whispering and wheezing in your ear and having the intent of eating your organs with their bare teeth. music that sounds a little like it belongs to a college student unsure about the path their heading, lyrics sound self-loathing and the singing and instrumental contradictory and conflicted, soft, whispered vocals cutting in through heavy drums and raspy screams suffocated by the gentle strums of a guitar. an odd mixtape for a demon, but it seems there might still be some humanity left there.

laughing jack - a dark kind of cabaret, music that sounds a bit like a worn down circus. tunes and instruments associated with the joys of carnivals being twisted, theyre becoming overwhelming and menacing, and the joy seems forced and disingenuous. the instruments seem a little out of tune, old with age and left to collect cobwebs.. with every booming sound of accordions, trombones and organs rumbling the earth it seems like the rusted screws holding the rollercoasters together get a little looser. loud and proud, but angry and loathing, a clown doesnt like to be forgotten.

ticci toby - high energy folk punk, it sounds full of anger specifically directed at authority figures. instruments being played aggressively and as fast as possible and lyrics about being pushed around, abused or ignored altogether being screamed by voices already hoarse with intense venom and rage. music created by and for individuals who are one bad day away from killing someone, ah, or in this case, i guess its too late.
