I want to hear more about folk songs, if you want to tell? Like, what makes a song a folk song? The first one that came to mind for me was Your Heart is a Muscle the Size of Your Fist, by Ramshackle Glory.

It's a very hard genre to define but it tends to be more stripped back and acoustic with songs either written by an artist or coming from the folk tradition. If you want more stuff like Ramshackle Glory, I would recommend AJJ, specifically their album People who eat people are the luckiest people in the world and the album Rogue Taxidermy by Days N Days. The subgenre that is includes that song would be Folkpunk

[punch-love]

Song rec: Pat the Bunny's From Here to Utopia (that one’s just him and an acoustic guitar, but there's a version from his band Ramshackle Glory with additional instruments that I also really like)

It's about how, in the punk scene, being politically radical often morphs into disillusionment, listlessness, & self destruction. He talks about his own role in keeping himself living in squalor and substance addiction (the lyrics pretty graphically talk about using heroin, just a heads up) and how the scene enables this by framing it as some sort of righteous suffering. It's also a song about reprioritizing community and how that is the first step to political action.

A while ago another anon pointed out how well you’ve interwoven Peter being a punk into his morals and psychology and it got me thinking about artists who've talked about how the larger ideology has influenced aspects of the scene. Hence, this song! I feel like Peter's recklessness as Spider-Man and overall disregard for his wellbeing falls in line with this concept of "righteous suffering".

I am a huge fan of how you've imbued love punch with political subtext; it's one of my favorite things when fiction is able to explore dynamics that exist in the real world v.s. trying to operate in a vacuum. It's also what I like about X-men, especially the comics.

I've been meaning to get to this for a few weeks and wanted to listen to the song before I responded. this is probably one of my favorite recs I've gotten it so far! it's not only a great song for him, but it's also something I really like too. I have a growing playlist of songs I think peter would listen to that I'll link to the fic once it's long enough, and this is absolutely going on it.

spider-man's self-destructive martyr complex is one of my favorite things about him. I think peter thinks too big picture and forgets that he also gets to be happy in the picture. it's very self-destructive/self-sacrificing and I think it makes him suited for the occupation, but also miserable and dangerous to himself. the song suits that struggle so well, thanks again for sharing.

I am so happy to hear that you enjoy the political subtext. it's so important to me! I love context, and spider-man in a more modern setting I think needs modern politics. I think spider-man is a really leftist figure and peter having a lot of context to the state of the world is something that's important to me. x-men was always really important to me/growing up. I think it REALLY inspires love-punch - particularly that push and pull of identity. also I've looped this song the whole time I answered this ask!

Night light

It was the day of the audition and Yuu was sitting still waiting for Ace and Duece to finish their audition until his eyes landed on a piano sitting still in a corner of pomefiore lounge...

Maybe it wouldn't hurt to pass time right? Yuu asked himself before sitting on the bench near the piano.

"Hmm what should I play... what about this!"

Inside the pomefiore dance room Grim Ace and Duce were smiling after hearing that they passed the audition only for Vil to warn them about how much work it will be for them from that moment. Beetween the grumbling od the first year a loving melody could be heard coming from the lounge.

Vil shot up and in a quick motion started walking towards the melody.

However after passing the door to the lounge Vil couldn't help but stare at the sight before him.

Prefect Yuu was looking down as his fingers moved with skill and grace on the keys; the melody that came from the piano was cheerfull yet mildly slow filled with love.

After a few notes the prefect started to sing a song that Vil had never heard before.

"Silly boy, don't talk to me

I don't have the energy

Please don't ask to dance with me tonight

I do better on my own (on my own)

I don't mean to come off cold (come off cold)

But my dear, I'm all danced out tonight

Now the gin is hitting me

And it's almost half-past three

Am I crazy or seeing things?

I'm sorry if I can't go for another swing

You're a charmer, that's for sure

But I can't stand anymore

Shame I would've danced with you tonight

(Dance with you tonight)

Do, do-do, do do do-do

Do, do-do, do do do-do

Do, do-do, do do do-do, do-do

Now the gin is hitting me

And it's almost half-past three

Am I crazy or seeing things?

I'm sorry if I can't go for another swing

You're a charmer, that's for sure

But I can't stand anymore

Shame I would've danced with you tonight

Would've danced with you tonight..."

Vil was shocked to say the least; the master wich the pale fingers of the prefect slided on the keys was mesmerizing the prefect looked absolutely beutifull.

With a tinge of envy (wich Vil shrudded off quite quickly) he got closer to the prefect clapping his hand in a delighted motion.

"Let me say prefect your performance was delightfull" said Vil his heels clicking against the floor.

At the sound of a outside voice the prefect flinched before turning only to see Vil in all his glory.

"I am curios tough... what kind of song was that I never heard it before."

"Oh that's a song from were I am from it was from my favourite artist" the prefect say with a hint of sadness.

"Why don't you join us on VDC prefect?"

"Oh no no no I would ruin everything I'm horrible when it comes to dancing!" The prefect said with a light chuckle.

"As you wish prefect..."

Little did the prefect know that Vil secretly asked the headmaster to give Yuu a space after everyone to perform.

It was the day of VDC and after the fiasco of Vil's overblot.

The show was going to start in an hour when Vil approached the prefect.

"Yuu I'm sorry you got caught in this mess however I have a request."

"What's up Vil?"

"I asked the headmage and he said that it was ok to have two performances for VDC so I'm like to ask you to play after our performance as a special guest... are you up for it?"

"Normally I would shy away from such a request however I actually had a feeling that it would've happened something similar oh minus overblot of course!" (Read Azul gave the prefect this information in exchange of Yuu's labor in the lounge as a bonus)

A smile formed on Vil's face "Thank you prefect."

The two school performance ended with the win of RSA as everybody was starting to leave a booming voice was heard from the stage.

Headmaster Crowley gained everyone attention with just a cough

"Attention audience the show has not ended yet!"

"As a special guest from NRC I present to you all our fist magicless students and prefect of the newly re-founded Ramshackle dorm Yuu!"

As Yuu stepped on to the stage a piano appeared put of nowhere.

Then Yuu started the melody as a nostalgic yet vibrant tone was heard coming out of the instrument.

After some note Yuu's sweet voice started to sing

"Up the staircase, first door to your left

Walls of white, a window, ten-by-ten

A treasure chest of everything I've ever known

Safe inside my childhood home

Every record I have ever heard

I know every melody and every word

A little book of every dream I ever had

Sleeping in that twin sized bed

All of the laughter

All the sleepless nights

Waiting for ever after

Snow falling outside, keeping on the night light

Cardboard boxes covering the floor

Guess I won't be living in here anymore

Take down the posters of the pop-stars on the wall

Empty room, it looks so small

All of the laughter

All the sleepless nights

Waiting for ever after

Snow falling outside, keeping on the night light

Take down the posters of the pop stars on the wall

Empty room it feels so small

All of the laughter

All the sleepless nights

Waiting for ever after

Snow falling outside, keeping on the night light"

The crowd erupted in cheers as the song ended. A proud smile appeared on the prefect's face before giving the crowd a gracefull bow

Niege was stunned to say the least "the prefect looked so beutyfull. like a prince..."" in his heart Niege knew that he would've lost if this opponent had been the prefect.

Vil was amazed by the prefect performance he couldn't. tear his eyes off of him. "I wonder if You would be up for a duet someday..."

Everyone gave a standing ovation to the magicless student before etting up and leave, The prefect knew he would be drowned by estions later but now he was too happy to care.

[cohandshake]

From all the posts going around of what other bands to listen to rather than Wilbur and Lovejoy, there's a few that I'm surprised I haven't seen:

Pat the Bunny and his other projects Wingnut Dishwashers Union, Ramshackle Glory, and Johnny Hobo and the Freight Trains - the epitome of folk punk, a genre that Will was obviously into and inspired by considering he covered a few songs from Pat

I'm not a good person

I'm going home

Whiskey is my kind of lullaby

Your heart is a muscle -> the first song I typically recommend

More about alcoholism

Urine speaks louder than words -> the cover wil did of this is how i found him

Never trust a man who (who plays guitar)

Crywank - another band that was inspo for both the solo albums and Lovejoy, AND another folk punk staple, one of the few I can think of off the top of my head that's british

Welcome to castle irwell

Its ok i wouldn't remember me either

Song for a guilty sadist

Memento Mori

AJJ - especially People Who Can People album

Back Pack

People ii 2: Still Peoplin'

Brave as a noun

Bad bad things

Days N' Daze, Mischief Brew, and Defiance, Ohio are also great folk punk bands that are in the same vein as the ones mentioned above.

misanthropic drunken loner

little blue pills

oh, susquehanna!

roll me through the gates of hell

coffee, god, and cigarettes,

olde tyme mem'ry

I will say, while I could hear the definite influences these bands and genre had on his solo stuff, YCGMA and MSR always struck me as a more tamed version made more palatable for the masses, so while the themes, overall sound, and inspo is all there, I can't guarantee that it's a vibe for everyone

Ren - while not the same genre by any means, I think the vibe could def be appreciated, and if you like up-and-coming artists who've originated on youtube, check him out

Frank Turner - british artist who also makes music that I would considered the marketable version of folk-punk. more positive vibes than others in the scene

Get better

I still believe

I knew prufrock before he got famous

The Libertines - more for those who like Lovejoy. this band has been around for a while, and they've never stopped being insane about eachother. GREAT music, one of my favs tbh, and classic brit-indie 2000s which is what Lovejoy reminded me of.

Can't stand me now -> prob their most known song

The good old days

What a waster

What became of the likely lads

Gunga Din

Sorority Noise

Blonde hair, black lungs

Using

Art school wannabe

Kimya Dawson - if you're looking for something woman-based, she's for you. In the vein of the folk-punk scene (she's actually anti-folk), her and her band Moldy Peaches have been in soundtracks like Juno

So nice, so smart

The beer -> one of the ultimate songs imo

loose lips

Drugs, Folk Punk And Anarchism: A Look At The Music Of Pat The Bunny (Patrick Schneeweis)

James looks at the musical career of Patrick Schneeweis or as he is better known, Pat the Bunny. Pat is a now retired legendary underground anarcho-folk punk artist responsible for numerous groups and projects. His music notably discussed life under capitalism, drug addiction, homelessness, anarchism, alcoholism, mental health issues and the DIY ethos. He’s known to use cynical humour to discuss complex issues and express deep-seeded substance abuse and metal health issues. His music has been highly impactful in many people’s lives including my own, due to its refreshingly honest nature and complex yet relatable subject matter.

The article looks at albums from:

Johnny Hobo and the Freight Trains

Wingnut Dishwashers Union

Ramshackle Glory

Pat The Bunny

Playlist: Ashton Greymoore: Disorderly Conduct

Not to be the person that posts a weird number of character playlists, but I channeled my queer rage about legalized discrimination into completing my playlist for Ashton Greymoore.

It's an exploration of punk and adjacent genres from folk-punk to screaming hardcore steadily ramping up in anger and gravely sounds until it sits in its pain with "Lambs' Breath, Godspeed You! Black Emperor's most dissonant piece.

I've deliberate included a lot of queer punk groups including at least two trans artists (Worries and Against Me!).

I wanted to explore where Ashton's Rage and self-destructive tendencies come from. The parts of themself they've put up as a protective wall and are only now beginning to question the utility of. (There's one song crossover with the Bad Ruidus Rising playlist because it was an Ashton song to me first.)

Includes: Bright Eyes, Days N Daze, Ramshackle Glory, The Jam, The Cramps, Nirvana, Against Me!, Anti-Flag, Worriers, Dog Park Dissidents, Dead Kennedys, Star Fucking Hipsters, Sharptooth, and Godspeed You! Black Emperor.

Art by me:
