The way ppls prejudiced thoughts n beliefs towards the rap genre isnt the only thing that baffles me bout the latest trend on here. But rather its ppl general distaste towards black artists in general. Because for one yes people are stupid as fuck about the rap genre n its history and dismiss it as needless violence n sexual music which is like. Straight up racist. But have ppl on here like. Not been listenin to any black artists? Like at All? Cuz like. It doesnt matter what music you're into there are Absolutely black artists in that genre as well and they are fucking amazing.

Idk its been baffling to me seein posts bout it all lately n like. Rap and hiphop are important genres with extensive history n meaning within the black community. But black artists are influential and prevalent in all genres including whatever the fuck you listen to.

Do you ever finally find the radio station that fits you and its like being transported to another dimension?

(Context: I usually play music from my phone when I drive to and from work, but my car is in the shop and the car I’m driving rn doesn’t have Bluetooth. So I don’t know all my local stations)

Like I’ve been flipping between these two stations that said they were “alternative” and “plays any genre”, and tho that isn’t a lie, they usually just played the same songs over and over again. (Like buddy idk what to tell you but I shouldn’t have had to hear Sweet Home Alabama more than I already have. Please pick something else.)

Anyways decided to try my luck on any other station, most are static of course or I’m too far away cause of where I live. But I finally found one and it’s ran by college students.

When I tell you it was like a breath of fresh air actually hearing other genres and indie artist from a radio station. Like I’m genuinely excited to listen to this station for my commute, at work, or whenever.

my dad has this weird misconception that i don't like pop music or 'old people music' ('old people' meaning his generation. so like early gen x.) which he consistently brings up whenever we discuss music... its like actually i think youre just inventing an entirely different version of me in ur mind because if im being perfectly honest ive been injecting midlife crisis pop directly into my veins for YEARS

im jude, he/him, twenty.

This blog is archived kinda loosely- its mostly just a place to upload what i’m listening to everyday and hopefully expose a few of you to different sounds. My main interest is in twee pop, specifically the late 90’s-early 00’s period, but i’m fairly open to a lot of sounds adjacent to pop, indie, lo-fi and general cuteness. I secondarily hold a lot of love for the ironic twinge of 90’s powerpop and the commercial sweetness of bubblegum. My main wish is that more people would be open to the wide variety of sounds that comes out of pop subcultures! I currently gather most of my music from public sources like youtube, bandcamp, soundcloud, etc, so nothing i post here should be too difficult to find if you’d like to download it for yourself, but just lmk if you want to know where to find something ^_^
