I have listened/listen to all of them..but my dorky ass is far from hip.

Just go to concerts bro
Smoke cigs, slick your hair back, buy a leather jacket, learn the guitar and play this kind of music, and you'll get pussy

I want to get into this

I'm going to find all the passwords to all the steam accounts I had since I was a kid, count up all the hours, subtract it from my age and then make that my new age so I appear more talented to music reviewers who I don't respect

Then I'm going to make wesley willis auto accompaniment music, sing lyrics that elicit subsconscious social media FOMO in the listener in a dopey voice and run it through a VST tape emulator and wear clothes that make me look like i own a ferret in my music video

and you'll get so. much. fucking. pussy.

I haven't been to a show a good while. Shows were always fun.

but most of these are SOOOO BAAAAD :(

I like lots of these, but I'd choke if indie/electronica/synthpop and woke hip hop was all I listened to.

worth listening to:
