#listening to fob on shuffle and 3 folie songs just came on in a row spotify is trying to kill meeeeee aughhhhh

[thekidsarentalright]

i've got a lot of friends who are stars but some are just black holes

[vampyc]

am i a little late ? yeah . but wrapped !! i go over it below :3

top artist being hozier makes a lot of sense , he was last year as well ( though last year we listened to him almost twice as much ) .

same goes for florence ; she's my girlfriend and i's go-to artist for in the car ( alongside hozier ) , which is a lot of my spotify usage .

have a nice life is literally just because of a quick one before the eternal worm devours connecticut . that is literally the only song by them i've ever heard .

fall out boy doesn't make any sense , but this is probably the fifth year in a row they've been on my wrapped . i think i've literally only listened to folie a deux this year .. ? maybe a few others came up on my liked playlist ( i have their discography from mania and back liked . 2018/19/20 were big fob years for us ) . i guess i'm just loyal idk

peter gundry is on our wrapped because of the vampire masquerade and a couple other songs of his that we've listened to a lot for reasons we will explain when going over our top songs .

top song : a quick one before the eternal worm devours connecticut . song after ? a quick one before the eternal worm devours appalachia ( different artist , btw ) . after that ? the vampire masquerade . do you wanna know why ?

reading playlist . we read over 1 million words this year ( we read at abt 750wpm , so well over 1300min/22hrs of reading ) , and almost all of those words were read while listening to our reading playlist . the playlist started out with just a quick one … connecticut , soon after we added a quick one … appalachia . those were the only two songs on there for almost half of the year . around may , we added the vampire masquerade . about a month ago , we caved and added a few more songs by peter gundry and a few classical pieces .

but for most of the year ? those two / three songs .

as of very recently , we have access to youtube premium ( hooray for middle class girlfriend who's parents got the family plan ) , and will keep our reading music strictly on there as to not " pollute " our wrapped . but regardless , it was super neat to see how our reading habits impacted this :DD

now on to tear you apart . i don't know what to say for this one . i'm some sort of faggot and also mentally ill . shocked that kiss wasn't on there tbh ( it made #7 ) , though ig we discovered that song later in the year .

angel of small death and the codeine scene is mostly coincidence , i think . it's only on our hozier discography playlist , so i guess it was favored by the shuffle gods . it's interesting that a song from the new album isn't in its place , since we looped that for a while when it came out .

as for the amount of minutes , i think it was on par with previous years , maybe a bit lower . as we exist in our Depression Era we listen to less music , oddly enough , and most of this summer ( i know it's almost winter but im not in school so it's summer . right ? i get to go back to high school , right ??? ) has been That . this year was great up until june 🫡 ( grad month )

i was slightly surprised not to find more goth shit on my wrapped , because this year was when we really started diving into the subculture , but i guess the social factors behind hozier and florence ( girlfriend ) and the reading playlist trump it in a way that makes sense . riboflavin and billie was a vampire made #8 and #9 , so that's a win .

if you read this i owe you one (1) kiss on the lips . or a hug or smth idk . if you listen to the songs i linked i'll probably have to marry you .

here's my full top 100 , if anyone's curious :3
