1. whats your favorite genre of music? Most of what I listen to falls somewhere under the umbrellas of rock, folk or electronic ig. 2. what did it used to be? It’s been all over the place for the past several years tbh. Was pretty exclusively into emo/pop punk and thrash metal when I first started seeking out music on my own in early middle school, later getting into indie bedroom pop and hyperpop (blessedly, a short phase), then punk/riot grrrl (still listen to that a fair amount, just not my favorite anymore), and from that point on I started branching out into so many things that it became near-impossible to define what my favorite genre was (and in this state it remains) 3. who is your fav music artist (it doesnt have to be the genre you favorite) Idk about my all-time favorite(s) but right now I’m especially into Bruce Springsteen, Skinny Puppy, Bauhaus and the Talking Heads 4. do you have spotify? Yes, but I’m starting to build up a physical media collection and increasing amounts of what I like isn’t available there (thus making me resort to Youtube or… other sources) so I’m kind of starting to use it less 5. how many playlists do you have on spotify? 22, though many of them are pretty old and I only keep them around out of nostalgia 6. have you ever considered being a music artist? Ohhh yes. It’s been an ambition of mine since I was 12 and I’m finally getting proper, regular guitar lessons now so it’s starting to look like a real possibility 7. what instruments do you play? Guitar and piano (though I’m not yet very good at the former and abysmal at the latter lol) 8. do you like playing it? Yessss 9. what instruments did you used to play but quit? I took piano lessons as a kid but was such a brat about practicing that my parents decided it wasn’t worth the money and pulled me out when I was 8. I didn’t play for years and totally lost all the skill I had. However, I’m trying to reteach myself now 10. what instrument do you want to learn? The harmonica and perhaps the violin 11. how often to you listen to music? (how many hours a day or how many days a week, etc) Idk about the exact number of hours/days, but pretty often. I don’t always have access to Spotify or YouTube because they’re blocked at my school and my dad gets annoyed if I use electronics too much, but my radio/cd player is almost always on if I’m in my room. 12. what kind of music did you like before but now hate it? I used to listen to mainstream pop almost exclusively, not because I especially liked it but to make people think I was cool lol, but now I can’t even make myself do so in order to fit in because I just Cannot Stand It. 13. would you rather listen to your least favorite genre of music or artist Genre, definitely. There’d at least be some variety that way, and I’d probably eventually learn to like it through prolonged exposure 14. what would your friend(s) rate your music taste? Well… at the moment I’m in the process of making friends and most of them don’t know much about my music taste yet, so it’s hard to say 15. would you sing in front of a crowd if you were asked to? Yes but I’d probably faint halfway through the song 16. if you DID sing in front of the crowd would your voice be good? I think I’d sound okay… I’ve had no vocal training but I’ve taught myself some techniques over the years and I also just have a naturally decent voice thanks to my grandmother’s genes (she was an amazing soprano in her youth) 17. do you like taylor swift? Her music is boring at best and I find her unpleasant as a person, so no 18. do you like olivia rodrigo? She’s okay but I’m not super fond of her music 19. do you like rappers? I don’t actively listen to them but I respect them a great deal as artists 20. if you have a celebrity crush thats an artist, name them (if you dont want to name them, type "yes" unless you dont want to lol). Not really 21. what is your least fav song? I don’t know its name but I’ve heard it in stores a couple times and it makes me want to blow something up. All I know is that it has the words “honey pie” in its chorus. 22. if you created a song, what would it be about? Identity, struggling with religious and existential questions, loneliness, longing, fear 23. happy songs or sad songs? Idk… I like happy stuff as much as the next person but I need something sad at times, either for catharsis/solace or to fit the “vibe” of something I’m working on 24. rate music in general out of 10 11 /10 25. do you find music helpful? (to change your mood to help you focus) It doesn’t really help me focus, at least not on schoolwork, but it certainly makes such tasks more bearable. I do find it “helpful” as a source of comfort, as a way to immerse myself in a certain atmosphere when I’m creating/daydreaming, and (most of all) simply for the sublime pleasure it brings, which is wonderful in itself but can also lift my mood. creds: original proj - ( this has changed lol )
