we brain rottin' and we ain' stoppin'. Time for some Voyager headcanons. Like, for example, when they were in orbit around Earth during the 20th century that one time, they probably got exposed to a lot of music. And maybe Tom Paris asked them to pick a favorite genre.
Tom: Mid Century rock. Beach Boys, The Beatles, Elvis, The Monkees; you know, 50's jukebox tunes.
Harry Kim: Jazz, duh. Every band nerd I've ever met thinks is the shit and I don't get it. But that's canon, so we'll be nice and say he's into Latin jazz.
B'Elanna: A contrarian at heart, B'Elanna likes metal and nu-metal from the turn of the millennium, claiming, "The start of the new millennium wasn't until 2001, so anything from 2000 is still 20th century." So she's into stuff like Mona Lisa Overdrive and Linkin Park and Green Day.
Chakotay: Likes more experimental stuff from the 70s, like Genesis, The Who, Cold Chisel; the kind of records with the really crazy album art. He enjoys that it's different enough to be interesting while not so far out as to be unfamiliar.
The Doctor: Opera, and big band swing. This stuff. Also, surprisingly, Queen. He's a sucker for Freddy Mercury.
Seven: folk music, with little instrumentation and clear vocals. And on the complete other end of the spectrum, techno and eurobeat. The more complicated the melody, the better. She likes parsing the complexities of the sounds.
Tuvok: likes the new age meditative music that is mostly single notes played slowly in the background at a spa or a crystal and tarot card store.
Janeway: we know she's into classical, but she's got a soft spot for 90's alternative rock, especially anything that tells a distinct story or is trying to convey a clear message. Stuff like Counting Crows or Sum 41, and one or two Saboton albums.
#st:voy#voy headcanons#i might be a sucker for 90s alt-rock because that's what i grew up listening to#the challenge was keeping it to 20th century stuff#if i opened it up to 21st century stuff i would have to give Janeway anything with gang vocals#and i feel like someone would be into metal#it's so hard to make a judgment because their tastes are portrayed as so milquetoast#and that's because they can only use royalty free stuff on the show#but i digress as usual
