#crying over trench era rn

[mx-misty-eyed]

ok I loved sai and im sure the new era will be amazing too, but i feel like nothing will EVER beat trench era. Maybe its just the childhood nostalgia speaking, the fact that all those songs are tinged with good memories from middle school and going to my friends house to watch hours long lore videos idk. But trench means so much to me and its one of the best things they put out and i think the vibes of the era and the music will never be topped again

I’ve drunken like 6?? cups of coffee in the past 13 hours and the last hour I decided it was a good idea to watch some xdinary heroes and I don’t know if my reactions were genuine or affected by all the coffee cause if I drink a lot I get all shaky and shit but um literally hi I’m so sorry I can’t use emojis cause I’m on my computer but “as our lord and savior Mickey Mouse would say, that shit was bussin on god on god. They prepped, they cooked, they served, they ate it up and left no crumbs, they licked their plates clean and then they did the dishes and put them away girlies WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING. 

I can say it again ok so in Strawberry cake I spy with my little eye and FUCKING SKIRT THAT’S “A SLAY” AS THE KIDS THESE DAYS SAY. The power this group has musically is crazy, it’s “beyond periodT” I’m in awe, I’m screaming, crying, shaking, rolling on the floor, throwing up (obvi not rn cause I already did that) I’m so beyond impressed with these kiddos I’m not like super into all these new groups as much as maybe I thought I would be and I do love the bands and things but I wasn’t going to pay attention to these kids cause I was so tired of the groups that I already listen to and I just didn’t think I’d have the energy to keep up with more but I’m so like beyond describing and processing words in my brain? Like idk it’s beyond incredible like JUNGSU his opening lines in Happy Death Day caught me off guard and I couldn’t believe what he was doing with his voice and then in Strawberry cake Mr. Joo’s first set of lines I’m still not processing how he did that with his voice and maybe I’m overexaggerating but I’ve never heard that sound from any vocalist I had no idea he could do that it’s sick hands down and the bass in that song IS FUCKING SICK I LOVE IT and bro. 

Ok so X-Mas is insane the same thing with the vocals like whateva Idk how they do it, Mr. Joo and Gaon are insane the way their vocals and lines hit perfectly it was such a new sound I’ve never heard in my entire life I’m diggin the rock elements. I’ve seen the live clips of Pirate and Tomboy and Hellavator it’s insane and very emotional they have a good sound and it’s getting better and idk how they are topping themselves for each comeback Haircut was an oddly great song and the vibe these kids have rn and band versions of song def hit different obvi y’all know how I feel about It’s Live but the way they executed Tomboy idk man and idk how but Jungsu’s vocals, the feeling he has??? the way he..okay shut up he covered Woojin’s lines in Hellavator I know damn well he did cause it immediately clicked as I zoned in on Woojin when that song came out okay I ain’t censoring shit he covered Woojin’s lines and this kid pulled at my heartstrings he sounded so much like Woojin to me it’s insane say what you want I do not give a dying mooseseses’s last shit Jungsu has amazing vocals, him and Mr. Joo have range I bet they can do all kinds of tricks with their singing skills it’s so cool to hear and watch they way these guys are just doing what they do.

Anyway don’t hate, don’t eat my ass over this okay anyway the styling for the Haircut era is elite, it is key, it is a moment, it is iconic, a slay whatever the fuck you wanna call it I’m obsessed. I’m obsessed with Gaon and his hair that matches with Mr. Joo and obsessed with the fits and the FUCKING HAIR HORN I THINK WE CAN ALL AGREE HOW BADASS THEY ALL LOOK WITH THEIR FUNKY DEVIL HORNS THE BARBER SHOP FITS, THE BLACK LEATHER TRENCHES THE SKIRTS THE STYLIST DESERVES RAISES, COOKIES, EXPENSIVE DINNERS AND TO BE SUNG A LULLABY AND TUCKED IN AND KISSED ON THE FOREHEAD GOODNIGHT I DO NOT CARE if I am being over dramatic or whatever I am OBESSESSED WITH WHAT THEY DID TO MR. JOO’S HAIR IN THE HAIR AND X-MAS MV I THINK HE LOOKS VERY GOOD AND STUNNING JUST STANDS OUT maybe it’s cause I love and appreciate a man with locks AND BY LOCKS IM TALKIN BOUT HIS HAIR OK HIS FLOWING GORGEOUS HAIR DO NOT TWIST MY WORDS I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL SCREAM. I DO NOT MEAN DREADLOCKS. Not me getting mad gag me with a spoon. Men who grow their hair out and take good care of it and aren’t afraid to have braids in it and ribbons and clips and cute trinkets like what Mr. Joo has is a mother beautiful thing and I respect and appreciate that I’m so angy now. He looks good I love what he’s doing with his hair and love that the stylists aren’t cutting it or doing anything to distract or take away from his complete look and style I think everything they are doing with his hair as far as style, color and accessories only compliments his looks/features and makes him quite the attractive lad AND NO WHEN I SAY ATTRACTIVE IN THIS CONTEXT IT IS 100% INNOCENT AND A COMPLIMENT. WHY DO I HAVE TO EXPLAIN EVERY FUCKING THING. Also I think the braids that O.de?? is showing off look great it’s funky and reminds me of Mingi in his Pirate King era. I very much miss Junhan’s floofy hair.

I’m hoping to see some different colors and styling techniques on Mr. Joo before they chop his hair off. I’ve seen so many colors and cute hairstlyes and accessories that I would love to see him demonstrate I think he would pull it off. BUT I DON’T WANT TO SEE LICORICE HAIR ON HIM I WILL VOMIT JYP PLEASE DO NOT AYNO HIM. Kiddo’s got beautiful hair please don’t ruin his life with some stupid dye job or shave his head I want no George the egg I want no neon green mullet I want no bald Jooyeon at the age of 25 with permanent green or grey hair because you bleach the hell out of his head. I want no Changmin Triangle hair either it only looked good on Changmin. I’m sorry. 

Anyway gag me with a spoon, Junhan’s solo in Hellavator. I’m tired. TL:DR Xdinary Heroes is doin some cool stuff and it’s fun to hear how versatile they are. Def looking forward to future songs I def think these kiddos are going places and since they are a band it’s just really nice to hear rock vibes some bands have like the “k-rock” specific sound which is fine, wouldn’t be opposed to a full metal album lol jk that would make their throats bleed. AND I KNOW PEOPLE AND GROUPS ARE PROBABLY SO TIRED OF THIS TREND BUT would love to hear them cover at least one Queen song that isn’t Bohemian Rhapsody. BUT NOT FAT BOTTOMED GIRL I’M SORRY THAT SONG IS JUST NOT MADE FOR THEM IT’S TOO PERF. Kiss has some songs that are bangers that would be cool to see covered by these guys also maybe David Bowie. HEAR ME OUT. TWISTED SISTER. We’re not gonna take it is the perfect song for Mr. Joo we’ve gotten a little taste of some unexpected scream vocals. HELENA WOULD MAKE ME CRY PLEASE. 

THE SCORPIANS. ROCK YOU LIKE A HURRICAINE. I know. I know it’s a lot, omg not me writing a list of songs I want them to cover sksskksks I just think they can experiment and pull a lot of songs off ya’know I think they would eat it up and poop it out and it would go back into the environment and help with the ecosystem, really restore and help heal the ozone, help save the polar ice caps, restore our natural forest and solve the water pollution problems, solve world hunger, save endangered species. stop wars and bring peace to our planet that we call home affectionately as they should, bring back the salmon and help keep wildlife and ocean creates safe, cut down on fossils fuels help improve science and technology everyone can love each other and get along and share and give back to the Mother and I wish I could bake a cake out of happiness and everyone would eat it an be happy. 

I am so sorry I didn’t mean to write an entire fUCKING ESSAY. It’s the coffee. These kids are cool and I appreciate and respect what they are bringing to the table as long as it’s not a green bean casserole okay I’m done now :)

SMALL ADDITION TO MY NEW YEARS RESOLUTION LIST

i neeeed to fix my record player and get back into silk screen printing! i have so many ideas for small runs of simple grungy shirt designs i can do at home. also i want to build up a music library with everything that moved me through the years. as i m posting on tumblr rn the foundation of that collection is pretty much the embodiment of my 2014 tumblr era ... which was ( to be fair ) a pretty defining time for me, too.

LANA DEL REY — BORN TO DIE, ULTRAVIOLENCE self explaining if you knew me for 5 minutes ...

HALSEY — BADLANDS, MANIC, NIGHTMARE i have tattoos for all of them, and manic was a surprise. i didn't like it at first and ended up calling it therapy in 2019, which might have been one of my worst years so far

THE BLACK KEYS — BROTHERS the first album i actively listened to and still one of my all time faves !!!! sinister kid for life

GREEN DAY — AMERICAN IDIOT THE BROADWAY RECORDING idk if or where to get this yet but i basically grew up on the green day albums the musical is made of and the first time ive seen billy joel armstrong live on stage! just holds a special place in my heart

TWENTY ONE PILOTS — TRENCH although i got into the band with blurryface, i ended up with trench on the loop! my best friend and i cried like babys at the concert

BON IVER — FOR EMMA, FOREVER AGO another one of my earliest favourites and it still gives me a very special, melancholic feeling

ARCTIC MONKEYS — AM blueprint and milestone for my style and music taste development?!

GORILLAZ — PLASTIC BEACH, DEMON DAYS also a very early found of mine and filled with so many bangers i hold close to my heart

AMY WHINEHOUSE — BACK TO BLACK not every song moved me as much as the other but it just feels right to have that one

OEL — ÜBER NACHT the first band my brother and i 110% agreed on and it will forever make me feel like home

WOODKID — THE GOLDEN AGE the golden age of my video game addiction indeed. i also started running with their songs.

ANNENMAYKANTEREIT — ALLES NIX KONKRETES a little cringe but it WAS the soundtrack to my sturm & drang times in cologne. oh my god is this a reckoning?!

MODERAT — III just. bliss.

FLORENCE + THE MACHINE — CEREMONIALS lungs was great but this was wicked, my guys. a must have for me.

FUNKADELIC — MAGGOT BRAIN i'm loosing my mind over this on a daily basis ngl

CHET BAKER — CHAT BAKER SINGS as i still feel like a jazz newbie, chat just kinda speaks to me?? the resemblence is also striking and idk sometimes it just feels like there's my past-me singing ...

SON LUX — BRIGHTER WOUNDS of ALL the great son lux songs and albums that accompanied me through the years, this strikes me the most!

MELANIE MARTINEZ — CRY BABY product of its time, adorable and important to me

THE NEIGHBOURHOOD — WIPED OUT! product of its time, adorable and important to me !!!

CRYSTAL CASTLES — (II) product of its time, adorable and important to me !!!!!!!!!!!

SIA — 1000 FORMS OF FEAR a surprisingly heavy influence when i dealt with my first experiences with substance abuse :") also cute lil wig cover

that might be it for now, and only should give you an idea of how im working on this. it almost feels like i'm building up my heritage of sorts. music gladly made it to one of the most important things in my life again and i finally want to give it the space and time and care that it deserves. so excuse me for being emo and absolutely unnecessarily explicit about my plans here. ITS CALLED MANIFESTING.
