Music

originally created 3/2/26

Getting into music is... weird, to say the least. For most of my life I didn't listen to nothing except for SiIvaGunner, and while I still listen to that group very often, I would say that exclusively listening to VGM and Mashups held me back by not letting me diversify my pallette and find what I want to listen to.

I already made a page abt what my favorite albums, or atleast ones I find interesting.

I feel like a lot of people -- myself formerly included have like weird relationship when it comes to music, finding their proprietary nerd shit to be somehow, objectively better than most other kinds, I used to do this with SiIvaGunner when I was really young, but with time I've realized that it's goofy as hell to be like "my taste in music is objectively better than yours". :skull:

I feel like a lot of people, especially in the VGM community, are like that. I assume it's in response to people who listen to more mainstream tracks lord that over people for being freakin' nerds, but I ultimately think that listening exclusively to any type of music, be it VGM or music released by more mainstream groups or artists.
I don't know if I was just hanging with the wrong people or if VGM superiority is a real thing. in larger communities.

Anyways, since I have the opportunity, I'm likely going to try and get a show on my campus' radio. I'm thinking I'll play mostly electronic music, citing both things like Daft Punk or Justice, y'know, more conventional acts, but also some funky shit like Aphex Twin. Likely some other stuff too, I want to explore as much as possible. I know it's rich for ME of all people to be on campus radio, but eh, they have timeslots a plenty I'm sure. Anyways I guess that'll be it, kinda scatterbrained but that's where I'm at right now.
