I like distorted sounds, rhythmic beats, ambient feels, garbled lyrics, experimental psychedelic, jungly, ocean music.
I like Animal Collective

When I was a kid I already had preconceived notions as to what “punk” might sound like before I had ever actually listened to any. One of my five older brothers was a die hard skinhead for a while. He had the boots, the jacket, the ….shaved head, and listened to skrewdriver a lot. He drank a lot, got in fights, and was arrested a couple times (he bragged to me once later on when I was a bit older that he and some friends had jumped Napalm Death after a show. When I asked why he told me “They had long hair. Metal bands aren’t allowed to play punk shows”) The tension in my house combined with my naivety of what punk was created this certain sound that I expected to hear, and when I finally listened to punk it didn’t live up to that expectation. This does. When I first heard the name “The Sex Pistols” this is what I imagined it would sound like in my little 11 year old head. That bugs me, cuz that’s a cool name. It was wasted on the actual Sex Pistols, who were really just a glam rock band. Feedback, screaming, “1234”s and drums that sound like the drummer doesn’t really know how to play drums are what punk was supposed to sound like. Gerogerigegege’s Tokyo Anal Dynamite is what punk was supposed to sound like, at least to me when I hadn’t hit puberty yet.
Fuck compose. Fuck melody. Dedicated to no one. Thanks to no one. ART IS OVER.
