Zalphas think that the 2010s Internet was the 2000s Internet. Us "uncs" are like... Ahh yes... My top 8 friends... The Homestuck cosplayers at the Boston Commons Gazebo... The home of random free Facebook events. Are we Seeing Michael Franti & Spearhead or Smashmouth live for free afterwards? Poke!

Music That Recently Found Me Artist: Anti-Everything Album: True Love Release Year: 2025 Country: 🇹🇹 Genres: Hardcore Punk, Punk Rating: 4.9/5 Length: 27 mins Anti-Everything is a Punk band from Trinidad and Tobago. I'd argue they're like Speed but instead of a flute, you have steel drum moments. Of course, they're not entirely like Speed and they just share the one thing I love hearing in Punk music. Unexpected instruments. The sound of this album is coherent yet takes you from Punk to Folk (examples: Welcome Yard and Letter to the Prime Minister) to a Metal song (True Love). Sounds don't matter as much as the message in Punk music. True Love does speak of issues left over by colonialism and wanting more fair governments in the world. Authentic in both messages and soundscape, I'd heavily recommend this album.

Please tell me people born before 2010 know classic English literary work from the US and UK and NOT just people born before 2002. I would wish for everyone in the Anglosphere to along with stories from each of us but... I have low hopes.

Fall trinkets 🍂🍁

[ #cuteart #illustration #furryart ]
An illustration of Egg the Trans Raccoon (a pink, blue and white raccoon with a trans flag striped tail) sitting amongst various fall leaves, acorns, pumpkins etc. They’re holding a leaf and above their head it says “all my little (fall) trinkets.”

LATEST E-ZINE ! A COLLECTION OF COLLAGES 🧵1/3

#collage #collageart #hopium #positivity #ezine #zine
E-zine 3 Failure indicates room for growth. We're all the fool before we reach the world. Time burns it's impression. Each wax drop is different. And lands in a different spot. You are not who you were yesterday. Brainstorm. Kindness. Creativity. Gift. Joy. It all starts with you where will you take yourself? How will you inspire others?

I'm making playlists of songs I "rolled" on my retro tv for each year and I saw the worst spray tan when rolling songs for 2005 I do not want to romanticize the 2000s anymore. Also... Kinda concerned that she's underweight.

"Millennials are going to be annoying old people we're going to make fun of in 10-15 years!"

NOPE! I'm Gen Z. After watching that "I spent $100K to make an album and Spotify took it down" video I had the most Boomer response.

Collage dump # 2

#collageart #collage #hopecore #hopium #randomthoughts #inspiration #pexels #youcandoit
Thoughts. A biblical angel esque collage? Very 2010score Nostalgia is a fuzzy picture. Looks lovely at first. Until you realize... Very surrealcore, curvy road sign, mountains, dreamy colors, and a blue car bleeded onto the photo. I know what I'm born for. Someone holding a hairdryer in front of a green, lush field under a night sky with golden doodles in the sky + a moon. Washi tape on the corners. You must be reminded why you are on the path you're on. A very messy collage of baskets of onions, calligraphy, small dog, a photographer, a hand with glitter poorly cut out looking like it's spraying pink and glitter, and bright drain filter glitter needles.

PJAMA - INOLVIDABLE is what a late 2020s album SHOULD be! Hell yeah! Rock! Pop! Alternative! A couple of Country tracks! Absolutely a fun listen! None of this bland Pop Country bullshit! This is what should be on the radio!

Generations aren't meant to encompass everyone's experiences. It's a loose model meant to mark what may have shaped a person through current events.

Yes... 80s and 90s Millennials were shaped by the same events. Maybe in different ways but still.

HOW TO BRING JOY TO YOURSELF (DURING ROUGH TIMES) CURATE YOUR FEED CONSUMING MORE POSITIVE AND HOPEFUL CONTENT WILL BRING YOU INSPIRATION TO NOT BE IN FREEZE MODE. BE AWARE OF WHAT'S HAPPENING BUT DON'T LET IT BE ALL YOU SEE. SEEK NEW OPPORTUNITIES TO BETTER YOURSELF OR OTHERS. WILL IT HELP OTHERS? WILL IT HELP PUT ME IN A PLACE WHERE I CAN BRING A GOOD MESSAGE? WILL IT HELP PUT ME IN A PLACE TO HELP OTHERS? WILL IT HELP ME MAKE SMALL YET MEANINGFUL CHANGES I WISH TO SEE? SPEND TIME WITH LOVED ONES CHOSEN AND SOMETIMES NOT CHOSEN FAMILY CAN BRING HOPE AND WARMTH. FINDING GROUPS VIA INTERESTS MAY ALSO HELP. EXPRESS AND FEEL YOUR EMOTIONS ...THEN BRAINSTORM... WHAT'S NEXT? IT'S NOT DWELLING IN PROBLEMS LARGER THAN ONE HUMAN.

#2025music #taiwanmusic #musicrecommendations #fishstick #composite
2025 music recommendation 魚條 - 忘形 Rock 魚條's (Fish Stick's) new album 忘形 (Composite) surprised me in the best way. Their 2019 release was Post Punk leaning, it had heavier moments but not many. While their 2022 release was more calm and Alternative. Unlike the past two albums, 忘形 has a heavy start. Unclean vocals came in during the second track and it took me off guard. Having heavier tracks in the first half was energizing and is refreshing for their discography. To tie the album together, the second half is more mellow like their 2022 release. Even though that's the case, all of the tracks transition well into each other. It's a roller coaster of a listen. Due to the language barrier, I have no other thoughts on the lyrics but... Definitely a good listen! Rating based on sound: 4.8/5

2025 music recommendations Yassa Blaster - CONNEXION Pop The second EP from French-Senegalese band, Yassa Blaster, is truly captivating. CONNEXION is fun and a bit nostalgic. With Summer here, this is perfect for the sunny vibes. In this humidity, I'd rather stay inside than properly enjoy the Summer outside but... Upbeat Synthpop that you'd have on a party playlist is still needed regardless of if the humidity is too much to handle or not. Before the EP was released, DEM DEM was on repeat for me. After the EP, BAYIMA and MÉLONN joined that song as definite favorites. However, the whole EP is a great time. Rating: 4.8/5

2025 music recommendation Dazey Doom - Grind Your Teeth Emo Last year I had the pleasure of seeing Dazey Doom open for Crush++. She's a kind person and a very underrated musician. Seeing Grind Your Teeth on my new releases was exciting. Finally! New Dazey Doom is here! Grind Your Teeth is nostalgic and hits hard. There are a lot of 2000s elements that are played in the best way. Such as the production and random synth in the background. Vibe wise, it hits all of the right aggressive and sad emotions. Making it fresh yet having a comfortable element to it. Dazey Doom is definitely an artist to tune into! Rating: 4.7/5

Huh??? stig bink - stigma Rap The algorithm, a beautiful thing. Sometimes it shows you a very yassified man rapping about... Poop. I got a notification for this album and thought I'd mess up my algorithm and listen. In 2020, I would have probably called this the best album. Now? Uh... It's either poop jokes or basic Rap music... Sometimes both. It's ever so confusing though. How will Bink replicate his filter face live? Will he always Rap about fecal matter? These are the questions that will keep me up at night.
