Music Questions
1. What are you listening to right now, if anything?
Death Of An Executioner by Pierce The Veil! I'm just listening to my playlist "Transgenderism" right now, it has a lot of 2010s emo, or whatever that genre is called. Fall Out Boy, Pierce The Veil, My Chem, etc.
2. What is your favorite song?
I never really have a favourite song, but I usually have a playlist with a few songs I listen to on repeat ^^ Right now that playlist has:
Fuck The System - SOAD
Good Old-Fashioned Loverboy - Queen
Boy Division - My Chem
Everyday - Buddy Holly
Insight - Dead Kennedys
BYOB - SOAD
Vampire Money - My Chem
3. Do you have a shower playlist?
??No?? How am I meant to listen to music in the shower?? I'm not gonna wear my $200 NOT WATERPROOF headphones. Do people use a speaker or something? I live with 4 other people and I usually shower around midnight so I don't think they or my downstairs neighbours would appreciate that very much.
4. What about a bedtime playlist?
I just listen to whatever I was already listening to throughout the day.
5. Have any guilty pleasure bands or songs?
Why would I feel guilty about listening to a band?
6. Do you sing along when you listen to music you like?
Yeah!! I love singing along to music, it's a great way to stim and let out energy and to express myself! It's a lot of fun I think everyone should sing along :)
7. Favourite genre of music?
Hmm I'm not very good at telling the difference, but I like lots of punk and nu-metal. Dead Kennedys and SOAD are my favourite bands, so. I also really pub-punk and a bit of a surfer vibe to punk music?? I guess those are sub-genres though.
8. Are you an albums person or a singles person?
Albums!
9. Do you still buy CDs (or other physical media)?
This is a fun question! So currently I only listen to music on spotify, I have the student premium which is $7/month instead of $15 so its not too bad. I'm moving in a couple months so I'm tying not to collect a bunch of stuff that's gonna make it harder to pack, but once I move I'm gonna get a CD player and start collecting CDs. I always see cool CDs in op shops but I don't have anything to play them on so there's no point in buying them yet. I really love physical media though, CDs and DVDs are my favourite. Casettes are the coolest but kinda impractical when they get all tangled, vinyl records are cool but super overpriced. I'm not going to spend several hundred dollars on a player and $30-70 per record?? CDs are a lot more convenient and cheaper, although buying them straight from the band can be pretty expensive.
9. Would you wear a t-shirt of a band you’re not into?
Probably not? Why would I even buy a band shirt if I don't like the band? Band shirts are expensive as fuck and I don't even wear T-shirts, it makes way more sense to just make a band patch. So no, I wouldn't, and I don't really care if other people do but I just don't get why you would? Because people will talk to you and go "oh hey, I like [band] too! What's your favourite album?" and then thats kind awkawrd if you can't name any. Not in an elitist, "name 3 nirvana songs", kinda way, I just don't really get why you'd wear a band shirt if you don't even like the band. Maybe that's me being autistic and not understanding though, because I also don't get why people spend loads of money on champion or gap or whatever.
10. Favorite songwriter?
Ryan Ross is an obvious choice, I also really love Fall Out Boy's lyrics, and also the Neighbourhood have some really fun lyrics.
11. Who’s the most obscure artist you listen to?
What does obscure mean in this context? As in underground local artist or as in a russian street performer with a parrot on his shoulder? Assuming the former, that would probably be Half/Time I guess. I don't listen to many local artists unfortunately. It's hard to go to shows when most of them are at 18+ bars.
11. A song or album from the 60s:
Unchained Melody by The Righteous Brothers came out in 1965!
12. A song or album from the 80s:
Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death by the Dead Kennedys came out in 1987! One of my favourite albums ever
13. What’s your favorite song or album from the year you where born?
If I recall correctly, The Black Parade album by My Chem came out the year I was born :D
14. Do you and your partner/best friend share a special song? One you’d call “our song”?
I don't have any friends or partners at the moment, but my ex-girlfriend and I's "song" would probably be The Moss by Cosmo Sheldrake.
15. Do you play any instruments?
I do! I play bass mainly, I've played since 2021 and I was briefly in a band. I started acoustic guitar in 2015, although I don't really play anymore and I'm pretty sure a spider lives in my guitar now. I really wanna learn drums as well, I've been thinking about getting lessons soon. For cool people: I have a Squier Affinity Series P-Bass with Ernie Ball regular slinkies (50-105) roundwounds, Fender Rumble15 amp (I'm getting a new one soon I promise), an Aria acoustic with D'Addario strings (I forget the specs) and for picks I use D'Addario .85mm
16. Your favorite artist from your city/state/country?
My favourite artist from Australia would be The Chats! I don't listen to anyone from WA though. I also really like John Williamson but that's more nostalgia than anything.
17. If you could travel in time and go to a concert of an artist who’s no longer alive or a band that’s no longer together, who would you choose?
DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS DEAD KENNEDYS also The Clash would be fun :3
18. Which was the first concert you went to?
Does The Wiggles count? The first concert I saw was The Chats and Alien Weaponry opening for Guns n Roses in 2021! I got a GNR hoodie from that show it was awesomeeeeeeee.
19. Which was the last concert you went to?
Half/Time and Dandelion opening for IDLES! One of my favourite bands :D It was so much fun, and the first concert I went to all alone! I wore my battle jacket and I got lots of compliments and made a couple friends, it was such a great night.
20. Are there any songs you know the entire lyrics by heart?
Tons! A good chunk of My Chem and Pierce The Veil's discography, also all of 36 Question the podcast musical and most of Be More Chill and Hamilton. YES I was a musical kid during the covid lockdowns, what of it?
