#i do take constructive critism and music recommendations

[fandomhasruinedmylife]

just remembered a post from @hyperfixation-hideout that gave me an excuse to talk about music and headcanons, so uh...

RWBY Music Headcanons

this is long so its under the cut

Ruby Rose

Her 2000's emo phase never left, only evolved

The catharsis of 'listing to loud and aggressive music as someone who tries to be really nice a lot of the time' is her drug

Is definitely the type of person to have her headphone's volume up so high that everyone around her can hear it

Taste in music ranges from Punk to Hyperpop, but all of it is loud.

Making playlist for people is her love language

Some songs: Ohio Is For Lovers by Hawthorne Heights Calm Down Juliet (What A Drama Queen) by SYCAMOUR Eiley by Too Close To Touch R4C3 by gaptoothv4mp money machine by 100 gecs

Weiss Schnee

Never really listened to any music other than classical. At least until Ruby, Blake, and Yang found out and exposed her to all different types of music

She latched to Folk Punk and Indie Rock, much to everyone's surprise

(It's because of the subject matter)

Some Songs: Father by The Front Bottoms No Children by The Mountain Goats Body Terror Song by AJJ Cigarettes & Saints by The Wonder Years Bruno Is Orange by Hop Along, Queen Ansleis

Blake Belladonna

Is here to cry

Ilia was actually the first to really get her into music, but it was only because most of the places that were decent to hang out in had bands or a jukeboxes

Got really into Alternative music when she was at Beacon, but will also listen to anything that hits a little too hard

Has a multitude of sad playlists, all with lowercase and joke titles

Some Songs: Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls Sorry by Nothing but Thieves Sweater Weather by The Neighbourhood Cherry Wine by Hozier I Know The End by Phoebe Bridgers

Yang Xiao Long

Is the reason Blake listens to Phoebe Bridgers and Hozier

All of her playlist could be summarized with 'Gay and Lonely'

So pretty much what you would expect

(But, honestly, me too)

Has pretty solid playlists, but their names all hit different. Ex. "problems? problems.", "i have considered therapy but thats a lot of money", and "rage"

Some Songs: Kissaphobic by Make Out Monday Another Love by Tom Odell Sedona by Sir Chloe Francis Forever by Mitski Like Real People Do by Hozier

Jaune Arc

Local Taylor Swift listener. His favorite albums are Fearless and 1989, with Red as an honorable mention

Listens to that sort of coming of age movie soundtrack type music

Totally daydreams about being in a coming of age film

Also likes that sort of late 2000's-early 2010's era of music

So, his playlist are fun, until you get punched in the gut by a Ricky Montgomery song

Some Songs: Style by Taylor Swift Everybody Talks by Neon Trees Line Without a Hook by Ricky Montgomery Look After You by The Fray This is Home by Cavetown (i refuse to believe this man is cis)

Nora Valkyrie

The embodiment of "I listen to anything" but meant genuinely

The true owner of the best breakdown playlist

Hiding all of her insecurities in a playlist called "sobbing jk... unless"

Can guess the type of music you listen with 93% accuracy

Also has a fantastic pining playlist and a playlist that may or may not scream parental issues

Mental state displayed through music lyrics only

The liked songs vibe is so very erratic

Some Songs: Fool by Frankie Cosmos Someone To Stay by Vancouver Sleep Clinic I/Me/Myself by Will Wood (nobody on this team is cis) Electric Love by BORNS Like or Like Like by Miniature Tigers

Pyrrha Nikos

Listens to music for the comfort cries and the mystical daydreams

Fairytale sounding songs

Also has a fantastic pining and love song playlist

Some Songs: Achilles Come Down by Gang of Youths Haven by Novo Amor Hunger by Florence + The Machine Soldier, Poet, King by The Oh Hellos King and Lionheart by Of Monsters and Men

Lie Ren

The hardest one

Would probably like very gentle songs

And songs that hit a little too close to home

But would also probably just hum along to whatever was playing

Would sing lullabies, and it would be super comforting

Some Songs: Safe & Sound by Kurt Hugo Schneider, Sam Tsui (Likes original too) Killing Me To Love You by Vancouver Sleep Clinic Two Birds by Regina Spektor Saturn by Sleeping At Last The Night We Met by Lord Huron

Oscar Pine

A Johnny Cash lover

He music taste pre-RWBY was entirely country he heard on the radio in stores or tiny bands formed by people who just picked up guitars to pass the time until they had to get back to work

Folk and Country still stand as his comfort genres but now also listens to a lot of other stuff

Is kind of just a melting pot of everyone else's music taste, because he is a sponge and likes to try and impress his friends

Some Songs: Give My Love To Rose by Johnny Cash All I See Is You by Shane Smith & the Saints Icarus by The Crane Wives Sleep On The Floor by The Lumineers Magdalene by The 502s

Honorable Mention (because I've already kind of talked about it): American Idiot by Green Day
