my head hurts

 So I'm a normal person who likes music. I'm curious about music and the many different styles/subgenres it brings and that's normal. Music can do things to you. It can DO things to you. Once you got that bandcamp account made, nothing is really the same...

This was the genre that gave a headache: Gabber.

Gabber is a genre that was originally formed by the Dutch and it's basically fast house music on drugs. This is literally the type of music that plays in funny and goofy memes like this. You obviously might know this meme and It's pretty funny... The chaotic noises of the songs playing are pretty much what makes the video standout. 

Gabber is just choas, that's all it is... Until, I found out that the genre it came from was hardcore...

 The album cover you're looking at looks pretty nice and I'd like to say that this probably created some obscure aesthetic movement that is barely even on the internet anymore but let's just move on. So, there's a group called: High Speed Music Team Sharpnel and they made it, distributed it and I'm talking about it.
 Man, these album covers are hitting hard for me. But why this music? I thought it was gonna sound like some IOSYS-type album with harnonius production and futuristic synths, BUT NO! I GET NOTHING (; ;) 

As a music listener, I can understand the difficulty of making a song/album...but when it comes to the music sounding like listening to house music next to a wind turbine I can't really process it(sorry). The thing is... I can't turn my head away from this album... The album art is always something to come back to... 
I mean sheesh! Does it look like something to look away from? How about breakcore?

 Nero's day at disneyland is the name amen breaks next to loud noises are the group's game. Fun fact: The album cover shown here is a depiction of an actual Mickey mouse gas mask. Yes. This is real.
 Describing the group's music is basically the same as describing breakcore [and even the other genres I mentioned] as a whole: Utter choas. Just look up any of the albums you see here and you'll see why.

Bye!

shhh

 Time to open up a soda bottle early for this one... Gonna tell you a little thing... Because the year is soon gonna be over, I thought: "How about I share my favorite albums of the year so far" then I thought:"Nah,how about the vibes I get from songs/albums"..... And the rest is history.

Music can take you to different places and sometimes they can really take you back. I remember listening to It's by Charles Hamilton for the first time and MAN! OH BOY! I was taken into a picture of NYC in the sunset and the melancholy energy of a good day for many of the people living in the city. The places music can take you can vary from time, style, and the image that the music is trying to bring you.
 
Y'know a city vibe that brings music to my ears? The Fly as pie remix for Passin' me by. Imagine making a masterpiece a masterpiece... This is that good. I seriously recommend this gem of track.

Jungle ain't dead. The Underground scene is still active and a good example of this is Coco Bryce...
His song: Blue Tile Lounge has those d r u m s ! It's so perfect! Whole thing reminds me of the sea and the many mysteries that have yet to be explored. Reminds of my first time on those NYC boats (I think last month or this month, I forgot) and the breeze of the wind as you go to the top of the boat. It was a pretty great experience bumping the Microphone Mathematics 12" on the ride.This Tune has the power to take anyone back and it shows.


 So I remember watching Star Wars: The Last Jedi at an AMC. The year was 2017 and... The movie was fine and it left me on a cliffhanger as my mother and her friends were talking about the movie they just saw. Why am I talking about a memory I had about being in a cold parking lot? Logic filled that sense of nostalgia up for me and I love it.

In 2015, Logic made an album about space and It's sure a standout of his discography. Songs like Lord Willin, Like Woah, City of Stars, Never Been, and Upgrade give that nostalgic feeling to me. This album is great and I'd absolutely recommend it if you like spaced-themed rap albums.

 Sonic Mega Collection is a compilation of an assortment of different Sonic games and why did I choose this in particular?
THE EXTRAS MENU MUSIC IS TOO BEAUTIFUL TO EVEN BE IN A GAME COMPILATION IT SHOULD BE IN A MUESUEM.

This piece of BGM gives you a feeling of stumbling across a thing you fondly remember as you reminisce on the fun you had with that particular thing. It's absolutely beautiful to listen to and zone out to.

I also stumbled across this comment about the theme that I think you would like...
 Overall, this song is probably what the theme for nostalgia would probably be( ; ; )

 This song is just a reminder that Tom and Jerry are Goated. If you don't know what I'm talking about it's their debut song: "The One Reason''. This song is just perfect with those notes, drums, and a fast yet, groovy pace. 4hero are the types of artists break the boundaries that even artists of their own genre try to do and that is making a scenario... Seriously, go check out 4hero's stuff it's so beautiful.

Easy by Childish Gambino... Unpopular Opinion: Bino's early material is at least worth remembering. I actually enjoy Sick Boi and Poindexter and I think they are good mixtapes. Why am I saying this? Mainly, because of his song: "Easy". The synths and drums are great and Donald's wheezy vocals help carry the song (for me). Anyway, I'm not saying that his early songs are his best but they should be remembered. Because the Internet is still a great album though.

So how do I end this off? I dunno maybe...Uh.... Overall, music can take us into different places and as we grow up and mature, we'll have these songs take us back to that time and place. Have a nice day! Bye...

I'm back!

I'm back from my break! New articles coming soon. Just gotta finish them up.
