#and thought ab Ronan and Adam singing it to each other

[literatureandshit]

What music each person from the gangesy like according to me

Gansey

He love lofi music, especially when he’s awake and can’t sleep. Gansey will go to YouTube and just look up “lofi music for when you can’t sleep” and then make an entire playlist out of it

Lots of instrumentals and classical music, Chopin, Bach, Beethoven. Sometimes when he’s building the mini version of Henrietta, he’ll have his head phones and will dance and work at the same time

Honestly he isn’t too fond of listening to music with words in them because he finds song lyrics to be distracting sometimes, but if he would he’d listen to opera, the greatest showman etc

Blue

Blue loves music with meaning, especially powerful music by women. Most of her music is empowering or based on her emotions.

She bases whatever she’s going to listen to by how’s she’s feeling in that moment. If she’s happy, Blue listens to pop music. If she’s feeling angry or frustrated, she’ll listen to rock, metal, or trap. But heavy metal is for when she’s especially pissed

She listens to a lot Bea Miller, Etta James, Rihanna. She definitely grew up with Aaliyah and Salt n Peppa. Maura made sure Blue got to experience all kinds of music. 300 Fox Way will sometimes boom with music all night

Ronan

Contrary to popular belief, EDM isn’t what he’s always listening to. Ronan’s music tastes are heavily based on rock and black music. He’ll listen to Metallica and Guns n Roses and also have 3 6 Mafia and Michael Jackson in the same playlist

Like Blue, Ronan’s music tastes are based on his emotions. It’s the one healthy outlet he has to process trauma and he uses it to his advantage. Rock usually makes him excited and he adores a good guitar solo (Adam and Gansey once sat with heart eyes while Ronan showed them different solos from different bands).

Rap/Trap or RnB is specifically for car rides with himself or with Adam. Whenever he’s thinking about his dad, Ronan will turn on Gangsta’s Paradise and belt the lyrics with his windows down. But on quiet nights when he’s feeling a little lonely in the barns he’ll pick up Adam and they’ll listen to Kali Uchis, Frank Ocean, Khalid, or Rihanna (Ronan loves her). It’s intimate and soft and one of the infinite ways Ronan expresses his love for Adam.

Adam

This boy loves Indie, trap, pop, classical, opera, anything under the sun I just know it. Adam doesn’t give a fuck what he’s listening to as long as it sounds nice to him. He favors music that sounds calm in his ear. He loves songs that use real life audios like cars, planes, people, running water and frogs. However, too many instruments or sounds at once can over stimulate him.

Adam listens to a lot of Clairo, Khalid, Doja Cat, the oldies most definitely especially Usher, Aaliyah, Beyoncé and Michael Jackson. He’ll listen to songs that tell storylines like the Rare Americans, and he likes raspy rough voices like Pop Smoke, Kevin Bates, Billie Eilish and Bleach. His playlists make no sense whatsoever and have really vague or ominous titles like “for that time when..” or “:).”

Sometimes the gangsey will huddle into the car at 3 am and listen to a bunch of albums together because none of them can sleep (Henry can though he’ll see them in the morning lol) and Adam is in charge of the songs

Noah

This boy loves noisy songs. Songs that don’t even make sense, songs that simply cannot be real to a normal person. Noah loves music like this. He takes so much joy in just listening to nonsense that’s catchy and he’ll get annoying about it

Noah loves 100 Gecs. He listens to them all the time, too much honestly. Whenever he’s in the passenger seat and reaches for the radio, everyone just sighs because they know what’s coming up. He also loves Yung Gravy and Y2K and will sometimes stream Tiny Meat Gang

He also loves foreign music thanks to Henry. He listens to Twice and NCT because he describes their music as, “no thoughts just vibes”. He knows every dance to their songs and will do it with Henry whenever possible. He just likes music that makes him feel like he’s having a great time

Henry

Besides kpop, Henry will listen to anything that makes him remember he’s a 10 amongst these 2s. He listens to anything that makes him feel confident and hot and sexy and empowering because why the fuck not? He’s very modern and enjoys modern music, so pop is his specialty

His artists are primarily women, but especially Lizzo. Cus I Luv You continues to be his favorite song, not because he’s in love, but because of the anount of emotion that was put into it. Women by Kesha is his runner up and he will play that song so much Blue manually removed it from his phone.

Both Henry and Blue love Ashnikko. They will ride around in the car just listening to her and many other artists. Sometimes they’ll cut school and go to the convenience store to get slushees and tell the lyrics while sitting on the hood of his car

Gangsey

It is a fight over who’s gonna sit in the front seat with whomever is driving. Passenger seat arrangements must be made in advance because if they do it while walking to the car someone is gonna end up in someone’s lap so they can play music.

Gansey, Blue, and Adam are neural in this regard and usually end up in the front. They play whatever songs are requested to them. They can adjust easily to whatever they’re listening to as long as they don’t listen to two country songs in a row.

Henry, Ronan, and Noah are actual heinous supervillains when it comes to manning the radio. One time Henry played “Bitch I’m Madonna” and Ronan almost ran them off the road. Ronan will play loud music for no reason and then laugh when everyone says to change it. And Noah gets to play a 100 Gecs song ONCE or he’ll never sit in the front seat again
