Talking about music, nostalgy and my new hyperfixation...

Idk if you guys have noticed but I’ve been very much hyped because of Apulanta lately and I just realized that they are basically the base to all of my music taste. I started liking them in the late 90s when I was about 8 years old. I can remember seeing a music video on TV and that video came out either in 1999 or 2000. And I just had an idea to go through my old “friend books” (did you guys have them while growing up? Books that you collected information from your friends? I loved them and I was writing a lot on my own lol.) and I FUCKING KNEW IT!!! :D In my second one it says “Favorite band: Apulanta”!!! :DDD I even had “Titanic” there at first but I have struck it out and written Apulanta next to it! There’s no year for this but based on all the other things I have written here and also my handwriting, I’m sure this was written when I was 8-9 years old. Okay I’m sure this is from 1999. I have written here that “I’m interested in: arts, dinosaurs and Pokemons.” And my biggest wish was to get an own horse(???) and dogs and cats.

OMG even my mom has written Apulanta here as her favorite band whaaaaat :D:D:D:D:D And the song she has marked as her favorite was released in 1997, and then her favorite TV show... yup, definitely when I was 8-9 years old.

And I see. I have written also about some plushies I bought and I have marked “2000″ as their birth years which means I was 9 (that year), my handwriting looks the same as with the other things too.

So yeah, this is actually very very interesting imho :D I’m somehow really interested in people’s music taste and how it develops and how something we hear or listen to at a very early age can have a permanent influence on our later music taste. And I bet that for me Apulanta is really the base of it all. Of course not the only one since music has always been very important in my family and in my childhood home I was always hearing only so called “good music”. My dad made sure of that as someone who grew up his teenage years in the 70s. And my mom was into punk as she’s a few years younger than him. But I just remember hating all the musical numbers on Disney movies, and I loved the Lion King score from the very beginning. (I still remember being 4-5 years old and sitting on a living room table [...] watching the movie from a VHS and the end fighting scene was on.)

But I guess I started to develop some sort of understanding of music when I started school. I don’t remember really understanding music. I don’t remember if I was listening to Apulanta ever, I just remember watching the VHS we had (well my dad still has it, we’re gonna watch that some day soooo, nostalgy, here I come!!!) and we were so into that video. I was watching it over and over again because I can still remember the earlier music videos whenever I see them. I can remember the interviews as well, not what they say there, but that I definitely have been watching them. But I don’t remember if I ever asked my dad to put a cd on a player for me or if I even understood that. It’s possible that I did not really comprehend and wanted to watch the VHS instead because I loved watching music videos so much.

Anyway, somehow I have been into the band tho because I knew the names of the guys and I knew who was which, I knew names of some songs, the cd covers are very familiar for me as well from my childhood. I even got a cd (that was released in 2002) for my 11th or 12th birthday from my cousin who was also very much into Apulanta, but I remember being already bit over that band and I did not like them so much anymore. I still remember the feeling of having the cd and it made me feel bit bad because I was no longer into them? I’m not sure if I had the cd on my shelf anyway but I just remember giving it to my dad at some point (it’s still in his shelf but in theory it’s still mine :D) when I no longer was listening to AL at all. Here my music taste started to evolve and change again a lot but I was still into only alternative rock and bit of punk too. There was also a small Shakira phase, I’m sure she’s the reason I still like music with slight latino vibes :D (And there was also other female artists like Avril Lavigne - her first album was just released, or t.A.T.u., this girl duo from Russia, but these were very short-lived.) I’m sure I still love music with punk roots only because that’s what Apulanta is too and it just is where I have always started off (let’s forget the phase with those female artists okay? I was trying to grow up as a teenage girl but it failed lol. (I’m nonbinary.)) and even when I haven’t know it, I still always tended to look for music that might remind me of their sound, even tho their sound has always been quite unique. Which is probably why I love bands with UNIQUE sound too. I feel like I’ve always been tied to punk-styled music with a rubber band because no matter how often I’d try out something else, I’ll always go back to that sooner or later :D Or find more bands with that type of sound, not abandoning the others but definitely feeling more like home when I hear that faster music again and music that has a lot going on at once.

I started listening to Apulanta again when I had turned 18. I felt nostalgic and I wanted to know if the songs were still as good as they were back in the day (yes they were). I wanted to find the songs that I knew I loved so much. The music videos that I remember watching, and well I mainly liked the songs BECAUSE I was so into the music videos. That feeling when I finally found that one particular song and it’s music video that so confused me back then - the amount of nostalgy it caused!!! It’s still one of my favorite songs from them.

It’s so crazy to think that I saw this band live on Friday. 20 years after starting to like them for the first time, going through my teen years with pauses and weird paths that had different artists and bands along them but that all eventually led back to Apulanta and other bands with punk roots. I never thought I’d want to see AL live because I never really got over it when their old bassist left the band and because I thought their music was not so good anymore. Well, I still prefer the old stuff over the new stuff and I’m sometimes still bit sad that that bassist isn’t in the band anymore, but these also some really good songs on the newer albums. And I’m really happy that I went to the gig, I’m still so hyped. And I feel like all this has made me into a fan now. Crazy.
