This page will be dedicated to all of the music I have listened to from start to finish that I have strong feelings about. I have a very specific musical taste for both sound and lyricism and it wouldn’t be fair to hold every song to that taste since music is a very multi-faceted genre(while I can agree some songs are objectively good and well made they still may not be to my personal taste), so I will be mainly only covering songs I like unless I find a song’s content morally repugnant.
Trigger Warning: Some songs below(marked by the specific trigger above it) may contain topics such as self harm, self hatred, mental health/various mental health conditions, nihilism, societal norms/bigotry, harm, adult themes, and various dystopian themes. The songs are not meant to endorse harmful behaviors but rather to discuss and/or help people struggling with them. If you are not in a place where you can hear or think about those types of themes that is normal and perfectly fine. If you ever need someone to talk to feel free to reach out and/or see the page below for various help lines that you can freely discuss your mental health on. You’re loved, not everyone will like you and that’s okay, and the world is a better place with you in it.
All the songs here are perfectly to my taste although with different aspects where I feel like they most achieve excellence.
