favorite artist, and why; This one's hard. It changes every few days. Right now it would have to be The Arctic Monkeys. Its the way they sound angry but smooth - I especially like the early stuff before they started singing in American accents.
favorite song, and why; Right now - Summer Shandy by The Front Bottoms. It's got a really relevant aesthetic. It's about a young adult sort of just existing while they try to find themselves. There's this weird limbo people go into after they graduate high school where they spend a lot of time figuring out who they are, where they feel like they should be in life, and what their goals are. This song is a really interesting perspective on that and really heckin' catchy.
favorite lyric, and why; "I'll make it to the moon, if I have to crawl." From Scar Tissue by The Red Hot Chili Peppers. One day, I will get this lyric tattooed. It's important to me for multiple reasons, but it's also just a really well written line. It's so short and says so much about being belligerently optimistic.
favorite album, and why;My favorite album will always by 21st Century Breakdown by Green Day. Personally, it was my first introduction into modern punk, but it also embodies a time period to me. There are so many references to things that were going on while it was being written and what they expected life to be like, all while following the story of a couple characters. For these reasons, I also think it will get better with age. Regional at Best by Twenty One Pilots will always be a close second.
favorite genre; Anything except country music.
favorite music news source [if any]; I use twitter to follow all of my bands and find new ones - aside from tumblr.
least favorite artist, and why;Melanie Martinez. I used to try really hard to listen to her. The music itself is so upbeat and weird and I love weird music, but her lyrics are not my cup of tea.
least favorite song, and why; Gangsta by Kehlani on the Suicide Squad Album. I really like this album and immediately bought it for TOP and Panic! But yet again, the lyrics kill this song for me.
favorite music service Spotify
favorite platform? (records, cds, digital, etc.); As much as I think it's a little pretentious and hipster-y of me, I love listening to records. I have an ungodly number of records.
