A SICK POST

You know when people describe something as "sick"? Like "man that Backstreet Boys secret gig was sick!" said no one ever. It's more likely to hear "sick" as "something awesome" amongst skater boys, hipsters, or just young people in general I don't know I'm making shit up right now.
But when I say this is a "Sick Post" i meant it. It's sick. As in, ill. Like fucking ill. Long story short is that I'm writing this post because I'm sick and I have nothing else to do. Or anyone else to talk to because other people have lives unlike me. So apart from my disgusting days of not being able to hold in food in my stomach, I'll just talk to myself in a form of a blog post because then I won't go crazy from creating delusions in my head. But to you music listeners, here's something new:



Several of my friends have in fact pointed out that my newfound love for anime have intrude with my love for music, which I disagree to because I still listen to music. Okay sure I haven't been listening to 'the usual' bands I listened to or been keeping up to date with the alternative music world but hey, anime soundtracks are just as good, ok? I mean I still enjoy the occasional Real Estate, Wild Beasts, No Age or Cloud Nothings but at the same time I quite enjoy some good Morning Musume, DOES, Spyair and Hatsune Miku.

Growing up, many of my friends and peers often look down upon a specific music genre (but let's be honest here everyone does this I mean hello can anyone take David Guetta seriously?). So when my music taste changed from "alternative math-rock" to "anything that is fitting for a shounen anime" the first thing my best friend said to me was

But there's just something about anime songs, or maybe just jrock/jpop in general that is so uplifting. Like, it makes you believe you can save the world or win that basketball game or defeat the titans to save humanity. Y'all know where I'm going with this aren't you? Of course you do. Here's my [current] top 10 "listen to this and believe" anime songs (in no particular order but let's face it zankoku na tenshi no teeze is always #1):

Now I can easily categorise them by anime, or by musical genre, or by awesomeness or by appropriateness (tbh I often find great music in shitty anime and vice versa like how do I deal with that? I breakdown crying trying to figure out to love it or hate it), but I won't. So here's some extra music you should listen! Here are some vocaloids that I hated at first but learned to love now: (this first one has the best lyrics fyi)

AND ANOTHER ADDITION TO THE ADDITION okay so in between my "alt music" phase and my "anime music" phase I briefly had an "epic orchestral music" phase which ranged from classical orchestra music, battle theme songs from video games/films and even celtic music so to give a little appreciation for orchestral anime music let me just give you this:


wow I don't think I've ever had such a messy post okay I'll stop now so tl;dr anime music is pretty sick dudez.
