Many musicians who were possible thanks to their eras had their genres. For instance, vaporwave could've only prospered during the previous decade, yet I'm not going to mention a musician that did good work in that period alone. You see, Cat System Corp. – be honest that you already checked the link, before you read this post – continues to establish himself as one of the better players here, since he does interrogate what the genre actually suggests. News At 11, his most famous work, imagines that faithful day in September as being completely normal without the event we are familiar with. Of course, the idiom always stands in the shadow of 9/11, though very few in the brand tackle the latter.

Somehow, this is an acceptable work outfit as well as some other genre. Is this goth? Grunge? I feel a bit rocker edgy? My ass is not listening to rock music at this moment though lol

Okay I’m about to make you go DEEP into those archives.
Who’s the first ever character you drew and how did they evolve as you started drawing more? 👀👀👀
First character was a Lock named Rippington. I eventually changed his name to Xahvin, because he was named after one of my fav smooth jazz bands at the time. Used to draw him frequently and he hasn't changed much. He is large for a lesser will and is a barely tempered, seething ball of outrage. He acts as diplomat to a particularly contentious empire that alternatively keeps trying to assassinate him and bury him in unnecessary paperwork. He's scarred up for reasons, half probably from the murder attempts and half because he's combative and has tussled with other Locks in the past. Riker (Archaeon) is one of his agents, the hate is mutual.
He also dislikes Scott, the Team, and all Traders. Kitra is still his Bonded Companion and about the only peaceful thing in his existence. Outside of her, he has a fairly agreeable relationship with Vel, a human that was lent to him by Movallo (diplomat to another empire) to help with diplomat duties. Vel earns his respect and they get along OK.
Old arts:

I used to lowkey be a smooth jazz hater (For typical jazzhead reasons. Didn't help that my initial exposure was Ken*ny G lmao) but I've come around as the years have gone on.

7/21/23.
The Five Year Plan were a Bristol, England band whose members went onto bands like Heavenly, The Beatnik Filmstars among others. It's always interesting to listen to the pre-bands of indie semi-gods. Rob Pursey (Heavenly, Swansea Sound) and Tim Rippington (The Beatnik Filmstars, The Charlie Tipper Rebellion) founded the band as teens. It's the classic story of learning to play instruments together and finding a sound.
The band wrote and recorded "1985" but it never released. A couple of years ago they reformed and "properly" re-recorded the album, but added no new sounds. We posted their 2014 compilation CD release "Peacetime Broadcast" back in 2016. A lot of the comparisons remain - The June Brides, Orange Juice, Monochrome Set. This has a decided C86 sound.

Letters 6:27
By Us the Poets
I feel you,
Being in the closet
Is like a closed mouth
Full of hotsauce
Bursting to get out
I want out
I know you do
But you can't seemingly live without
The thought of
Your parents
Or peers
Striking you down
Well here's a mental medicine for life's emotional riding roller coasters
Just because they birthed you out
Doesn't make them your parents
A parent is someone who takes care of their kid no matter what
Circumstances unknown couldn't keep them from
Their own child
And how wild is it
That these so called best friends are not there to be with you till the end
But they are there to end when
Things get too thick
Or too thin
And maybe it's coming from within
Not within your friends
But within you
Because maybe if truth would've been told by you
Then losing someone special
Wouldn't have came in twos.
So you choose
To stay in the closet
Trapped with skeletons, rubbers, and R. Kelly's gun
A baretta too vendetta
For a night's fight of fun
I wish I could run
To your aid
But I'm tired already
I'm sore from the pain you kept me hustling behind
So spaghetti noodles
I go limp soup
You'll
Be alright
I wish you the best but
More importantly
I wish you love, peace, and acceptance
Of self.
