#and by genre I mean rock and metal lmao

[crmsndragonwngss]

What would you say are your top five "must check out" bands you'd recommend to people? (bonus points for intro album suggestions)

Oh this is easy! Here’s my top five six

Erra - Drift

Novelists - Noir

Crystal Lake - Helix

Lorna Shore - Pain Remains

Veil of Maya - False Idol

Spiritbox - Eternal Blue

And because I can’t help myself, here’s the rest of my top ten eleven!

Polaris - The Mortal Coil

Tesseract - Altered State

The Amity Affliction - Let The Ocean Take Me

Periphery - Hail Stan

Crooked Royals - Quarter Life Dream

And a bonus plus one two!

Blueshift - Voyager

Valis Ablaze - Render

Lots of the bands here tho only have one full album, so definitely check out their EPs and singles too

As for Erra, it’s probably pretty obvious that I love everything they’ve ever done, but Drift was on an entirely different level, and it’s always the starting point I give anyone who wants to get into their music. My first Erra song was Dreamcatcher, and it’s still one of my favorites by far, but Drift is a tremendous album and is a fantastic first time listen

The same goes for Novelists, their entire discog is fantastic, but my personal favorite album is Noir and I think that’s the perfect jumping off point for their music

The only band in this list whom I don’t recommend their entire discog is Lorna Shore. imo stick to Pain Remains and And I Return to Nothingness (the ep)

But really, I could continue forever, so if you want a playlist that has all my favorite stuff on there, you can check out my massive metalcore playlist

Now this is all specifically for core/djent because that’s my scene. If you want a top five for other genres, I can do that too, just give me a genre and I’ll give you some recs!

[sad--tree]

no1 talk 2 me abt my spotify wrapped top songs playlist it's So Bad help

[colors-of-my-heart]

i really hope ghost wins the Grammy for best metal performance, not because I think they deserve it more than the other nominees but because it would piss off a lot of metalheads and I think that would be really funny

[zivazivc]

OMG🫣😝😍❤️❤️❤️ Liv's parents are sooo cool and their designs are sick!!! What are their inspiration and can you tell more about this family 🥺❤️ ?

Thank you very much! I feel like I really hit the nail on the head with their designs, but the truth is they were cooking in my head for a very long time before this.

From the first time I thought about what all the bandmates' parents would look like, I was already thinking of making Liv's parents both Techno/Rock fusions like her. I think what originally made me gravitate towards this idea is the fact that Liv is the only one in the band who has a very very strong sense of self and does not have any kind of identity crisis or self image issues. I feel like the only way to make this fact feel believable in a young character in her position is through their parents. So I gave her parents who are both similar to her and each other and who are together and loving, and who live in a society of other Rock/Techno trolls too. (Also thinking about it more, it just made sense that the "rockers" and the "ravers" would have the largest population of mixed offspring, they're also right next to each other on the map, so i came up with the Shallows and all of that because of this...)

Liv's genre at the very start was very simply just electronic rock. But as I discovered more music over the past months she became more industrial metal with punk elements. - My OCs develop a lot by me bouncing them off each other. When Hed and Liv meet, Hed's Rock/Metal instincts are very much suppressed from living almost his entire life around Funk Trolls. I needed Liv's genre (to obviously feel right for her, but also) to be hardcore enough to be able to bring out Hed's suppressed side without clashing with his love for rap.

At the moment this is the most "Hed and Liv making music together" song I have in my playlists:

Now that Liv's genre/playlist stopped changing so much and I've been happy with where I am with her for a while, I was able to determine her parents' genres based on that. Which was simply one parent being Industrial Metal and the other something electronic and punk (which I later found out is just called Electropunk lol).

Her dad Flint is heavily based on Keith Flint from the Prodigy. So heavily he is basically that guy's trollsona lol.

The Prodigy, if you don't know, were pioneers in fusing dance music with rock music. It was pretty fascinating reading about it. I recently watched this good and not-dragged-out video about their origins and till their biggest single Firestarter.

Even before I started designing any of them I knew I wanted to give one of the parents' very stylized neon "shark teeth". In my mind it felt like such a good fusion of sharp Rock teeth and the weird blocky neon Techno teeth. And when I fixated on Keith Flint for inspiration it just felt right to give them to him. Look at this guy!

I named the dad Flint simply after this guy's last name. But also it's a nice rocky name. Also flint was historically used to start fire which kind of makes it a punk name in my opinion too. Plus -> Firestarter, the big Prodigy single. :P

The mom I designed after I outlined the dad and I didn't have any particular person in mind for her. Her design is mostly Liv's characteristics that I didn't yet represent in her dad. Direct outside inspiration was more or less just these cool neon rave pants because she deserved some bright color lmao.

I gave her a German accent because I always imagined Liv with a vague European accent, and also simply because Germans seem to be the gods of industrial metal. But my music inspiration when drawing her was also Laibach, which is a Slovenian band, so I gave her the name Meta because it is both a German and Slovenian name (In German it's a short form of Margarete meaning "pearl", and in Slovenian the name literally means "mint".) Meta also just felt like a good fit to go along with Oblivion, Liv's full name.

Now as I've written all this and read the question again I realize this is probably not what you were asking for at all... But consider this as a bit of a behind the scenes for my AU. 😅 Bonus content on the dvd but instead in the form of a boring tumblr post. :P

[manicplank]

I don't know if anyone asked this before or not, but... their favorite type of music? Sorry, I just love your headcanons :D

hehehe ok

Music headcanons!

Peppino: Based on the track "Hip to be Italian", I have a silly headcanon that he likes old school hip hop. Missy Elliot, Tupac, etc. He also likes classic rock (think of bands like The Rolling Stones) and Italian opera.

Gustavo: Another opera fan! I feel like he would listen to anything on the radio. So probably listens to a lot of pop music, especially stuff from the early 2000's. Idk I can weirdly see him listening to Britney Spears lmao.

Mr. Stick: Hmm... I feel like he'd also be a pop fan. Probably a Swiftie. His cringe ass probably listens to nightcore.

Pepperman: He probably listens to something among the lines of Celine Dion and Mariah Carey.

The Vigilante: COUNTRY, DUHHH. Definitely a Johnny Cash fan. Idk a lot of country artists tbh.

The Noise: One of those guys that listens to anything but country. Thinks country is stupid. Will listen to any genre, but his favorites are probably techno, metal, and soft rock. (idk what genre it actually is, so here's some examples of what I consider soft rock. Links broke, so they're at the end!) He would probably love System of a Down and all their joke songs.

Noisette: Definitely a fan of pop music, another Swiftie. Probably also listens so soft rock. Listens to Clairo for sure. A lot of early 2000's music as well. LOVES Lady Gaga. Says "Paparazzi" is her and The Noise's song. (All couples have their "song", you know what I mean?)

Fake Peppino: Likes most music! Is a fan of electronic! Also unironically likes Cocomelon. Drives others INSANE with it. (I see him as having a child-like mindset.) Doesn't like screamo, it scares him.

Pizzahead: Loves classical musical as well as music from the 30's-50's. I feel like he'd also love Nicki Minaj.

Pillar John: Reggae and Ska. He just seems like that type of guy. Listens to a lot of songs about weed without knowing they're about weed. (Innocent mindset.)

Gerome: I feel like he secretly enjoys opera music. The skill it takes to sing opera amazes him. He probably also enjoys electronica. I like the irony of a quiet guy liking loud, upbeat music.

Here's those links, btw!

Fantastic Planet - Soko

Fade Into You - Mazzy Star

Moon Undah Water - Puma Blue

Motel Reflections - Pro Teens

[anemoiawithatouchofobsession]

Something different from my usual content! But hey, I listen to new music too. Which means, I listen to rap. What a shocker! Lmao. Anyways, I've been interested in Megan Thee Stallion for a long time ever since Th0t shit and Body came out, and I was one of the people bumping "HISS" until it hit #1. Even after that too... but yeah. Anyways. To the point- Megan dropped a new album! Megan act 2. And i thought... I want to listen to it in full and just give my thoughts. I liked around half of the album last time - my favourites were Mamushi, Otaku Hot Girl, B.A.S., Moody Girl and Accent - but this time I'm hoping for more bops from Meg!

Track one starting off strong as heck! Not only is the beat nostalgic, but Meg just SLIDES. Like, it's the same flows and cadences that we know from Megan, but that's what fits on the song and I really love the beat. I also love how she shows her Houston roots and her people! This could have been a banger in the summer - eventhough Mamushi did that already - but I would have lived to bump this alongside Not Like Us. It's breezy, braggadocious, very very quotable, and super enjoyable. 8.5/10

OH BANKROLL ON THE BEAT This is the HISS of this album. Hiss episode 2! She is going to have Nicki in another spiral this time even with the direct imitation of her voice. I live how Megan disses tbh. I HAVE to look the lyrics up just to bask in the lyrics. Like, I JUST KNOW Megan put so much of her old Tina snow persona in it - 9/10

Another strong beat and this time it's for all the trash boys in her Megan's life! Yep. GIRLS DONT CHASE BOYS! Oh the last two songs were pure anger and energy, this is a bit more "fun" but still serious. In the Act 1 album she branched into more other chill genres and went into her comfort zone, but she brought in so so much energy in her beats this time. It's crazy. - 8/10

OHOOOO Goodies by Ciara! It was the number one song in the US when I was born... that's funny! I haven't looked into her because I am yet to familiarize myself with her songs... but on this song, she does sound really good and really grooved on the beat. Until now, we've been on a streak of really strong and loud beats with very energetic lyrics, let's see how the rest goes! - 7/10

I don't recognize the sample if there is one, but the singing voice caught me really off guard. Is it Megan's? Like... the autotune is really throwing me off, she could have easily gotten a vocal feature but somehow the vocal parts aren't really doing it for me - 4/10

Ooooh this brings me back to the 2018 trap era! The piano beats and all that. Megan has a more slower flow that I really like. The beat is super hot. Like... idk it makes me feel *things*. Yep girl. You're making gangsters and girls blush for sure! Aaaallll i would have needed is another verse - 7.5/10

This is the fabled TWICE remix of Mamushi - and I'm not FULLY on board. Mamushi grew on me after some time, and I'm sure this will too. I like the second part of Megan's new verse and the first part of TWICE's verse with Jihyo and Nayeon. Jeongyeon and Dahyun's verses fell pretty flat in delivery - I needed more energy to support the brag! Chaeyoung's part should have been moved directly after Nayeon and shoudl have been delivered with a bit more energy! Like... girls! Where's the "TWICE" shout? Tzuyu was almost not even there, but she held up. And, obviously Mina, Sana and Momo on the chorus did their best. Overall, I felt that Jihyo and Nayeon really shone. - 7/10

Okay WHATTT??? This is a wild af beat. Like... GODDAMNN MEGAN IS ANGRYYYY and the rock/metal beat with the guitars is... damn. Loud. I can only imagine how much the rock girlies will love this. This is a really damn good crossover and this MUST go hard in the concert. I don't know who Spiritbox is but seems like they're a rock artist? But this is a newer style for Megan too and I'm definitely intrigued. - 7.5/10

Ooh this is giving 2020 Megan! Like... her lyrics and the flows! This also falls pretty short tbh I would have loved more of the beat. But she is mad throughout the entire album and I love the vibes it gives the album! - 7/10

HEY HEY ITS THE 808s! Old school boom bap beat and some fun lyrics about a baddie falling in love. But I'm the grand look of the album, this is kinda fun and breezy but not really memorable. 6/10

Do Luci and Blaise have favorite genres of music? I was considering making playlist of songs in the genres

-🐮

Oooh a playlist??? Fun!!! I'd live to listen to what you put in it! Hmmm lets see...

I feel like luci would enjoy metal and emo rock (i mean... look at him lmao) but also be into smooth jazz bc yk sex music lol

As for blaise i feel like hed enjoy opera and noir-esque music. Opera especially since he loves attending opera shows with his darling❤️

[shurisu]

Do u have shurisu headcanons? It's been a while since I interacted with another fan

You mean just the couple alone? I got so many but I will write down as many as I can remember rn:

Shun is not picky with his food.Though he's ok with desserts, he's more of a spicy food person.When Alice bakes cooks/bakes something, that's what his favorite food at the moment

Unlike Alice, Shun is  not the  best when it comes to  showing affection with words.Though he doesn't sound bad, he may use some roundabout ways to compliment her which others find weird but Alice knows what it means in Shun language (and that's one of the reasons she loves him).

He makes up for that by showing his affection with his actions, though.He is the type of person who would notice the smallest things others  wouldn't.

The grandfathers approve! Michael thinks Shun's a one  fine young man, and he also trusts his granddaughter's choices. Shun's old man already calls Alice "granddaughter" and embarrasses him anytime she comes over

It's already canon that they are both introverted so when comes to social topics, they support each other where the other one lacks.Shun will support if she needs confidence, and Alice will help him whenever he needs a "decoder" with his relationship with others lol

I think Shun would prefer motor bikes to cars. It's also canon that they both love watching the sky and being surrounded by nature so their favorite kind of date is where they can find different places they can alone and at night they  ride there for star gazing

Shun is definitely the more jealous one  out of two,but rather than making a fuss he wouldn't say anything and bottle up, or so he thinks because Alice can see he's clearly sulking lmao

Shun is more of a cat person, whereas Alice is more of a dog person, but they both love animals and are not picky with them

Shun was not into music that much.Before,  his music taste mostly consisted of a songs he randomly happened to hear and enjoy.Nowadays, he  enjoys anything Alice sings.He even asks her to send some voice messages ( he listens them to sleep)

Alice likes music and singing.She enjoys different genres although rock/metal would be her most favorite (she's introducing Shun to some of her favorite bands a the moment) Though Shun seems more interested in hearing her singing. He claims he needs them for meditation-al purposes 🧘🏻‍♂️

Hmm I think that's it...for now at least.I may add if I can remember more and whoever is reading this I would love to see your hcs as well 😄

@eucyon Oh my god tumblr ate your ask I’m so lucky I screenshotted. So mad I have to type again . Thank you so much for dis question it’s so fun and made me really think to be honest ^__^ ILYSMMMM this is long but it’s too fun

This is Lynx’s most popular album, Conspiracy Theories. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to have a pic of lynx as the cover even if it’s silly. I really like rabbit imagery in music anyways though so I think it’s nice. I was inspired by Alice In Chains album covers and also fleshwater’s ‘we’re not here to be loved’. I tried to find a way to make it more 'gritty' but I couldn’t unfortunately 😭 I like how the title looks, like they just got a label maker and smacked it on..heheh

I imagine that this album is about relationship anxiety, betrayal, resentment, anti social tendencies, infidelity, and aliens. Probably not little green men, maybe more like the thing kind of fleshy imagery. Definitely appealing to atlas and scotch in different ways. Tool’s Undertow is a good example (off the top of my head..) of the sound I’m thinking of, so… prog? Or at least heavily inspired. I’m bad with genres heheh

im currently trying to either become okay with roadkill's name, or decide on a new one.. so im not making any album covers for them yet lol but i will post when i do..

I think roadkill would take a lot of inspo from their fave band so their style is probably heavily influenced by Lynx. Scotch adds a lot of sampling, distortion, whatever..idk I don’t make music.. and atlas is a big fan of slow tempo and bass. think its important to note that atlas doesnt play bass like a bassist in this album, he plays it more like a guitarist. kind of. hope that makes sense. I’ve always been really torn about roadkill’s genre, it’s been everywhere and tends to change. scotch and atlas’ styles would be vastly different if they were solo, so I think that’s why i am so indecisive . I think I just have to keep reminding myself that they’re in a band together, so styles would be mixed.

A part of me is like.. I think roadkill’s first album would be reminiscent of faith no more’s ‘the real thing’, or even some of Primus' stuff in some sense, plus similarities to Lynx and influences of industrial. i know thats a lot of random descriptions. I kinda think of (here’s a goofy genre for ya) sludge metal bands’ instrumental style, not necessarily vocal style... its hard to describe a band that doesnt exist. LMFAO

right now im thinking about 'the pot' by tool as a close example of roadkill.. im having a hard time finding artists that match scotch's vocal range even remotely. also doesnt help that the bands im basing this off of like tool and FNM dont exactly...fit into genres very neatly. roadkill and lynx wouldnt either. HAH. i just know it wouldnt be that high quality but definitely obvious theres a lot of passion in it. i mean this is just an album made by guys who dontknow what theyre doing. like at all. lol

Roadkill’s sound changes quite a bit their next album when seraph is involved. It becomes a lot more ummmm I guess palatable to more people? I don’t exactly know what I mean by that. Ok. LOL. I’ll think about it.. but this is around when Scotch realizes he wants this to be his job. Having Seraph helps A LOT with building a more dedicated and bigger audience, since they’re the one most willing to make changes. Plus they’re in art school, I feel like they’d have connections. So I guess roadkill would sell out in a way.

if you asked me this question a year ago i would have had a completely different answer. i wouldve probably said roadkill is pop punk or garage rock or something. i have trouble fitting scotch and atlas into a genre together. it fits scotch just fine and i think he would enjoy it, but its not roadkill.. also ive been thinking of stylizing roadkill as rdkill.. lmk wat u think.. im unsure about the name is generalHAHA. i know this is a lot so dont feel pressured to reply to everything LMAO im just thinking out loud. and drawing connections between genres that completely do not make sense. peace and LOVE<3

Loved seeing your thought on music the eds would listen to! Any ideas for what music tastes they might have in common?

awwww lasagna that means so much coming from the playlist goat 🐐that's a good question. i've definitely thought about it once or twice.

i love @fish-bowl-2's headcanon about edd being extremely out of the loop when it comes to music/pop culture, so i do imagine he gets a lot of his taste from eddy's recommendations. (and eddy's taste was formed by albums he found around the house, especially in his brother's room. but that's besides the point.) anyway for some gay reason, massive attack is what i picture edd and eddy enjoying together. blue lines is more eddy's taste while mezzanine is right up edd's alley - the house m.d. theme song is on there after all.

eddy song

edd song

oh and machine girl

eddy song

edd song

despite his living under a rock music wise, i do think edd would songs from many genres and nods along to most stuff eddy plays. some day i'll get around to making an eddeddy playlist and this'll be the first song

i don't even know if i'm joking at this point i'm so unwell

ed and eddy... i loved the scene you wrote in LMS when they listen to fuckin gettin jiggy wit it lmao. that pretty much sums up what i picture them listening to together: cheeky, high energy 90s music.

when eddy's having his nu metal moment i can see them going feral to limp bizkit together.

and cypress hill

ed and edd are listening to video game OSTs together

edd can zone out to the beautiful ambient music and ed likes being reminded of games he likes lol

when they have sleepovers as kids i picture all 3 eds listening to the crazy frog album (even though it came out in 2005, i don't care it is edscore)

[whumble-beeee]

Howdy again, it's me again with another question :3

What music artists / genres do the (un)official guide characters listen to?

Ok so the thing is. I actually have songs I associate with each character, multiple sometimes. I haven't made them playlists (which I need to) but I've got songs both for them and that they would listen to lol.

Let's start with Declan, bc he's. Weird. He listens to 70s rock, some rap and metal, as well as country, but "only the stuff you can listen to if you were getting chased by cops". Whatever that means lol. Basically, he likes most things that are slower but intense.

Vaughn listens to stuff that's a bit more electronic and high energy, often kinda incomprehensible. Idk why but I'm also getting musical theatre vibes. Like he would totally act out the entirety of "Confrontation" from Jekyll and Hyde just in his lab. In front of his subjects. He would probably also sing Suffocate City at them too lmao (that's the song I've been obsessing over with him for the past week or so)

Lana listens to mainly hyperpop, vocaloid, and a lot of queer artists like Chappel Roan.

And Stan? Idfk, he probably listens to mainstream rock music like Imagine Dragons and Nickelback, as well as 2000s and 2010s pop. Basically, anything you'd find on the radio.

Marcus listens to a lot of indie, lofi, more low-key but generally happy music. He's trying to introduce Stan to more music and it's definitely going!

Chloe is in much the same boat as Stan, just bc she's still young and it's what she grew up with, but she is starting to learn about the wonderful leorld of punk rock and heavy metal. I like the think she listens to fnaf and other video game music, stuff like DAgames, The Stupendium, RandomEncounters, CG5, etc.

(SO sorry it keeps taking me this long to respond lmao, I've just been so busy with college stuff. Also why I've not uploaded a chapter recently. But we chugging along!)

Take this askwhoopin' boy.

1. Why is X-Men so important to you as a franchise?

2. You're the new head writer for a solo Magik run. What's three big changes you make?

3. You're an executive at Marvel. You're asked what the MCU X-Men lineup should be. It's starting with a team of five. Who do you choose?

4. Atticus is dying permanently this time. What's his last words to Yana?

5. Which villain does Atty personally hate tye most?

6. Thoughts on X-Men: Destiny?

7. Thoughts on the upcoming DP&W?

8. Do you listen to metal at all (personal curiosity)?

9. Pick a song to be Atty's character theme. What is it?

10. What is one thing that absolutely disgusts Atty?

More big ones, answers under the cut.

1. I mean why is it resonant with any queer person? The feelings of alienation and prejudice simply for being slightly different rings true as always. Also they always felt more like a family then teams like the Avengers, and I like that.

2. First Change: Katyana is canon. That's non-negotiable. Second is probably give her back the reigns of Limbo, I'm a little torn on this one, but overcoming trauma is such a major part of her character and Limbo is that magnified. Maybe let her and Maddy work together? idk. Finally uhhhhhh let her set up a magic school. Thatd be cool.

3. Okay so. A friend of mine and I brainstormed this, and we wanted to skip straight to Revo-Scott for the MCU X-Men. Make the fox movies just actually canon and go from there. So the team is Scott, Emma, Magik(?)/Colossus, Magneto and like, Storm. Just send it.

4. I have no idea. Probably something very sweet though.

5. He's still mad at Mystique for shooting him, but its probably Sinister or Mojo. Toying with peoples lives is a big no-no, and Mojo hurt his favourite popstar and fellow DM.

6. The game? I played it as a kid, the only thing I remember is them doing Pixie super dirty. I'd take another one, but just.... not as awful.

7. Unfortunately I do not care for the MCU, Deadpool or Logan. The only way they will get me to pirate this is if Yana turns up and it isn't embarrassing. I did once get punched in the face in HS for saying I liked Superman more than Deadpool lmao, good times.

8. Not really. Closest I got were some of the harder King Gizzard records. It's just not a genre I have a lot of tolerance for, I can do hard rock and Psych rock, but that's abt it.

9. "This World is Not My Home" - Specifically the version from the Kentucky Route Zero Soundtrack. I've always associated Atti with those extremely downer church songs, and the folksy version from the game is perfect.

10. Mistreating kids. Fastest death in the West for people who do that. That's how he got to be the no.1 Dad on Krakoa.

[lousirs]

What kind of music do you think the dolls will like? Like their genre of music (hopefully it's understandable cuz I have no clues what I just said 💀)

nah nah u good :D

hm... i mean from the get-go i'd say all the characters who have singers as their voice actors would probably listen to their singer's style of music. for instance, i can totally see lou listening to nick jonas and kitty listening to charli xcx. but aside from that...

moxy would totally listen to pop music. but like, that really cheesy pop music from the 2010s that tells you that you are beautiful just the way you are, ya know? britt nicole is someone who comes to mind (every time i listen to her song 'gold' or 'headphones' i just think about moxy). but alsoooo going back to what i said with characters listening to their voice actor's music, i find it amusing if moxy listened to rock as well, as kelly clarkson is kinda pop-rock (or used to be i haven't listened to her entire discography yet). she's just jamming out to some electric guitar or something lmao

i'm not too sure about babo (my mind is saying smooth jazz but idk if that works with him) but wage and lucky bat would totally listen to those 10 hour relaxing ambient music with the windchimes and piano... lucky bat would listen to relax, and wage would listen to ease her nerves.

ugly dog i can see listening to latin music (cause ya know...pitbull mr worldwide 305) and prolly some rock and heavy metal thrown in there for good measure.

ox would be country. for obvious reasons (yeehaw)(i found out about blake shelton through ox so everytime a blake shelton song comes on all i see is ox rotating in my mind)

with lou... you'd probably catch him listening to classical or cafe jazz, but when he's alone he'd listen to most things, i'd say. ...and also he'd listen to electro swing because i said so and i am the voice of authority I MAKE THE CANON /j (but i can see him listening to electro swing). ohhh and songs from musicals too. he is soooo a musicals fan. dunno what musicals he'd listen to tho, i'm not too knowledgeable on them uh

mandy would listen to lofi and indie music... if there's a niche artist who makes nice songs, mandy probably knows of them.

nolan... nolan is a wildcard honestly lmao. he seems like he'd listen to both acoustic and electronic music (daft punk vibes)... actually. just remembered something. you know that sound that plays when the spotlight centres upon nolan? that sounded like dubstep for a moment, and i just remembered thinking that nolan listens to dubstep because of it... so now he does. nolan listens to dubstep too.

all the spy girls would listen to pop, but probably different kinds of it. kitty would totally be hyperpop, no doubt in my mind (probably because charli xcx is more hyperpop nowadays). tuesday is similar to moxy in those 2010s songs, but it would be only the love songs and she'd imagine lou and her singing them together. lydia... probably hip-hop or funk-pop.

that's all the main and side characters... idk what michael and mehgan would listen to uh... also jazz???? maybe??? i don't know enough about tray or icebat to say what they'd listen to... BUT GIBBERISH CAT WOULD LISTEN TO BREAKCORE MUSIC HANDS DOWN
