#and also because a lot of fanmade Fresh songs include those elements and I love them so much because they’re so *in character* and it

One of my most favorite things about a lot of songs made about/inspired by Fresh is the amount of synths used. Synthesizers are electronic instruments that have their own unique sort of sounds, and they’re very different from the more traditional instruments. They’re still instruments, of course, but they’re a very different type; they’re synthetic. Artificial.

Fresh isn’t a skeleton. He’s a parasite that pilots skeletons. He pretends to be things he’s not. He’s very different from others, like how synths are very different from traditional instruments. Some might even say that he’s not a real person, like how some may say synths aren’t real instruments, but synths still make sound and are used in music, and Fresh is still a living being with his own thoughts and desires.

It’s also specific types of synths that I associate with Fresh. Like synths that have more treble (deeper, more bass-y synths remind me more of Error), which I can’t really explain why exactly it reminds of Fresh more than just any kind of synth, other than it’s what I’ve heard in a lot of Fresh songs, and that it’s kinda what I associate with how I imagine his voice is like, and it Just Makes Sense™️.

It’s also usually upbeat, fast-paced songs with those synths that I associate with Fresh the most (and it makes me very happy seeing fanmade Fresh songs have those sorts of elements to them), because he’s a very Upbeat and fun type of character, but there’s also similar music that sort of portrays his more serious and scary sides; his truer sides. Fast-paced music that sounds more intense, and makes me picture fight scenes, or scenes where Fresh is chasing down his next host <3
