Brite boy is one of my fav songs ever made but this clairo cover might actually be better than the original. I feel like her voice just suits it more, the whole ‘if you let me be your wife’ it just sounds better in her soft singing voice.
This was actually how I discovered Alex, I liked clairo and I saw this cover on YouTube and loved it
I just started working out and this set has been motivating me. Discarda and flowdan both got some serious bad boy energy
So I’m gonna change both my first and last name for personal reasons and I’m looking for something with that chrome hearts, baggy jeans, bad boy, king vamp energy. My main choice was Adrian Chase but I think that’s the name of a fictional character so I thought that might be a bit weird to have something that’s recognisable in that way. I do like Adrian as a first name and I think Chase is a nice neutral surname that suits it well. The thing is I’m not white too so I don’t want something overly white in that way like Johnson or whatever lol. I don’t want something too unique or unusual but also if it’s too basic it’s not really vamp energy yk
My other first name choices were Damon, Damien and the classic James but none of those feel as true and authentic to me as Adrian does. I want a surname that goes with it well and tbh Carter is also a very nice neutral surname that suits it. Adrian Carter. Obviously king vamp himself but then it’s also jay-z’s surname and he’s kinda ugly so idk
Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated ☺️
Any time I see pics or clips of carti just out and about, he just looks so fucking cool. Like he has a very cool understanding of his city (Atlanta or wherever he’s at), he knows all the best smoke spots and places to chill, late night food spots, clubs n shit. Like u can just imagine him late night in atl, baggy pants on, hood up, smoking a fat joint with a bad bitch on a backroad, pulling up to a food truck or a 7/11 or something, speaking to the cashier all nonchalant and confident. Couple of goons walk in, he dgaf he ain’t tripping.
Just that cool calm confident streetwise nature basically, and I’m wondering how to develop it. The thing is carti’s obviously a popular guy and I’m solo so it’s more difficult but I’ve been tryna go out at night, smoke n shit, try out different food spots, different cinemas shit like that yk. The last pic is me having a chill late night smoke.
I was wondering if you guys had any tips on living that late night urban city vamp lifestyle, particularly without any friends or bitches, and do u guys try and do this yourselves. Or are you all chronically online redditors from the suburbs
I like some of his songs like pillow fight and blow the speaker, not super familiar with all of his music at all. He’s gonna be in my city iab and I’m tryna experience more live music n shit so I was thinking of going. But I feel like the crowd defo gonna be full of chronically online weirdos and imma be solo anyway so imma really just get faded and sit there and watch him so I don’t wanna go if it’s just gonna be the music playing while he jumps around and sings a few lines. Do u guys reckon it’s worth it, if you’ve seen him live how was it
I’m literally obsessed with this song, I got into this band recently through the song it’s not living if it’s not with you. For context, I recently had my first huge serious crush on a girl who I met at uni, she didn’t really reciprocate and then I dropped out of uni anyway so I was in like a very serious mental health spiral just literally spending all day in bed getting high and watching porn and feeling depressed.
So the song it’s not living and the dual meaning of drugs and young love and the intensity of both of those feelings really resonated with me, and now I’ve been discovering more of their music, and I’m obsessed with how they write about those kind of themes. ‘She showed me what love is, and now I’m acting like I know myself’ ‘in my soul I’ve got this feeling I didn’t know until I seen ya’ so realllll 😭
Even their instrumentals and melodies just feel like the euphoria of love/ drugs and they’re so danceable, as evidenced by Matty in this video lol ‘my my my, oh my my my, you mind my mind, you mind my mind, she’s insatiable is what she is!!’ obsessedddd 😭
I’m never gonna love again 😩
tysm to everyone who recommended me songs on my previous post and thank you for being such a nice and welcoming community
So I just got into this band and I’m like deep diving all of their stuff on YouTube. In matty healy’s gq 10 essentials video he has this beautiful girl as the wallpaper on his phone and I’m wondering if anyone knows who she is? I’m a huge fan of their love songs and the songs they write about girls lol, there’s a lot of depth in it and they capture the experience of love and longing as a young guy so well. So I’m curious about the girls who inspire their songwriting yk
I think Abel is probably the artist with the single biggest concentration of baddies in his fanbase. Like sure drake and Justin Bieber have a lot of pretty girls as fans too. But their fans are more like blonde college girls, like those daddy’s money kind of girls who dance to Drake in the club. Whereas Abel has just straight bad bitches as his fans, like real lifestyle bad bitches. Strippers, escorts, models, girls with 24 inch waists who wear leather mini skirts and sniff ketamine- glass table girls, those after hours girls 🖤
And my question is, why? He’s like such a regular looking guy 😭 and he’s such a dork too like he’s an anime fan and a gamer. Drake is pretty normal looking too but he likes to flex how rich is he a lot so that works for him, Justin Bieber tbf very sexy. Abel’s just regular chilled out guy, doesn’t put on too much of a public persona, just lets his work speak for itself.
And I guess maybe that’s it, his music. It deals with themes of sex, drugs, heartache, despair. His production is dark and somber at times, but very danceable and fun at other times. And I haven’t been to one of his shows yet (gonna go next month!! 🥳) but he seems to be a hell of a performer, and even with his music videos and stuff, he’s a cool visual artist and utilises visuals as part of his storytelling too.
But even tho I respect him so highly I’m still just surprised at how much he resonates with the baddies like they really be lined up for his shows in the rain in pointed heels and crop tops, hair done, nails done 💅🏼like ugh. teach me ur ways abel 😩
I loved the song ‘it’s not living if it’s not with you’ as someone with mental health and addiction and attachment issues lol so I listened thru that whole brief inquiry album. Fucking incredible, favs were give yourself a try, tootime, couldn’t be more in love.
I listened to their essential songs on Apple Music and it was hit and miss tbh I liked she’s American, I’m in love with you and about you. Common theme here lol I like the songs about girls 😭 I am acc a huge beabadoobee fan and her song he gets me so high was originally a 1975 song called she gets me so high lol. I’m just wondering where to go from here in terms of what songs/albums of theirs I might like based on the ones I like and that fact that I like beabadoobee, Phoebe bridgers (saw matty healy working on her next album!!’
And also are they like cool people generally? I really only know matty healy and even him just by name really and cos of songs he’s co written with beabadoobee. Is there any sort of lore i should know about them or videos I should watch. Cos with Bea I think she’s really funny and love her swag and her energy. Matty Healy just seems like a weird white guy lol although maybe that is just his swag
Also I love how British they are lol I’m British and I love that about beabadoobee too, I love artists that seem relatable in that way, growing up around beers and ket and red busses n shit lol. although these guys don’t really seem working class lol but still
I grew up in a very repressive environment, my household was very traditional and religious so I couldn’t even say things like oh I think that girl is pretty, let alone anything sexual. And that was really really difficult for me because I’ve had those kind of thoughts pretty much my whole life. So this show’s emphasis on love as a powerful force that can’t be repressed was super impactful for me. Like when Arthur offers to give up his right to the throne for Gwen and stuff.
But then also the show was a really huge sexual awakening for me just because of Morgana like not only cos she’s a beautiful woman but like when she captures Gwen and ties her with rope, or when she ties up Merlin and mocks him and stuff I’d just be like woahhh. And it wasn’t until I was older that I realised what that feeling was lol
I’m curious if any of you guys found this show to be impactful for you in similar ways, in terms of opening your eyes to things that you feel or believe in, especially if you grew up in a toxic or repressive environment? The show deals with a lot of mature themes and I know that definitely had an effect on me as a young watcher so I’m curious if it did for you guys too
It’s a big part of why this show means so much to me, it was a way for me to discover the kind of person I wanted to be when I was too young to really grapple with the fact that my own environment didn’t align with who I am.
I loveeee Morgana’s character as an exploration of trauma and the consequences of a repressed identity. I relate to her so much and I love her like dark messy witchy aesthetic too 🖤
I’ve been going through lowkey like a mental heath episode recently, not been able to sleep. When I sleep I’ve just been having mad dreams and waking up in the middle of the night drenched in sweat or unable to breathe n shit. Today I had a nice dream tho where me and jammer and Kylie Jenner were hanging out and we were like a really sweet friendship group like jammer was way less annoying than he is in real life and we were just laughing and having so much fun. I’ve never really had friendship irl so it was such a great dream, it was like one of those dreams where you wake up feeling like you actually experienced the thing and then you get really sad that you didn’t. Do you guys think these two would get on irl
So I’m a 20 year old guy and I recently dropped out of uni and since then I’ve been super depressed lol just getting high all the time, in bed all day watching porn lol and it’s been making me feel super isolated and stuff. I really resonate with bea’s music and how she talks about mental health, growing up, identity and drugs and stuff. This has lowkey been key for me in countering some of the fucked up effects of the porn, like in terms of ur perception of women cos it’s like just engaging with art by a woman yk, seeing women as human and understanding female experiences. And in general just be hopeful that there’s really cool people out there you can meet, cos Bea is so cool and talks about so many of the same issues I struggle with and she’s someone I really respect.
Sorry for the yap sesh lol but basically I’d just wanna talk to people, especially girls, who are in my age range and fw Bea!! I also love Phoebe bridgers, Gracie Abrams, Harry Potter, Justin Bieber, Kanye, clairo. So yeah if u want pls dm me ☺️
He’s literally a chef lol, he’s been doing food shows for more than a decade atp, tasting food all over the world. Plus he’s a musician which both Ed and James would vibe with, I’d be willing to bet James is quite familiar with music as a fan of hip hop. And in general he’s super funny, witty and just a cool ass guy they would have a laugh with.
So for context I’m a 20 year old guy and I’m gonna travel to a weeknd show solo just cos I love his music and I wanna witness a big concert like that. But the thing is I’m gonna travel from my city to Manchester and it’s gonna be like one of those coach companies that does dedicated travel to the stadium. And like I go to concerts solo all the time, I usually smoke weed or drink some vodka in the queue and I go to the show sit there enjoy it and come home. I feel anxiety so I don’t really dance or converse with people cos people are there with their friends and all the girls are dressed up and I’m just there in sweatpants lol
But now cos I’m gonna travel to the show in the coach I’m kind of wondering if there’s a possibility of making friends with some of the weeknd fans from my city on the coach. Cos I feel like people will probably be playing his music and having fun right? And they may or may not be really pretty girls lol. And I don’t really just wanna sit there in silence awkwardly the whole time. But I do have a lot of anxiety and I feel like I’ll feel that a lot on the coach and it’s kind of making me not wanna go lol. But I do wanna get out of my comfort zone and lowkey I’ve never really had any friends in my life and I’ve always wanted to be friends with girls and people who are passionate about music n shit lol but like I don’t have a haircut or cool clothes I mean I can get a haircut and I have some cool clothes lol but still probably sweatpants lol but idk. Idk I guess im just tryna get some advice or tips here lol
Cos this is like a really consistent thing for me sometimes when im in situations where there’s lot of pretty girls, friendship groups, couples like concerts and stuff. I do really often feel quite inadequate and sad cos I’ve never had that and I’m not, like I don’t feel good enough to have that and especially in the case of pretty girls I feel like those kind of people look at me and immediately think I’m a weird guy. It’s a self esteem thing I know but somewhat rooted in reality lol
lmao sorry for the yap sesh but any advise would be appreciated!! Thanks ☺️
guys I just went and saw the hit me hard and soft 3d movie and it is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen, the lights and visuals were insane, the sound was incredible Billie’s vocals were heavenly and crystal clear and they’d mixed in the crowd noise so perfectly and seeing the crowd reactions was amazing cos it really is such perfect way to capture Billie’s impact as a young artist in this era and preserve it forever.
The set list obviously is amazing just banger after banger and the bass was bumping and I smoked a spliff beforehand so I was zoomingg. the 3d glasses help with the immersion too. there were some propels jumping and dancing in the cinema, and this is in England where people don’t really do that lol so I’d say don’t be afraid to enjoy ur self and have fun!!
The little interviews and bts stuff in there was really cool to see, her hard work and dedication, her philosophy as a performer and as an artist, the journey she’s been on growing up to get to the hmhas tour. She’s just the coolest most confident bad bitch artist in the world and such a powerfully kind and strong young woman. It’s the most inspiring thing 🖤
House of the dragon season 3 is coming out in June and I hope that in the promo for it, they have Emma d’arcy on off menu. There’s obviously the viral clip of Emma saying they like a negroni with prosecco in it but also in general they’re a super cool actor and really intelligent and articulate so it’d be cool especially if Ed or James are familiar with house of the dragon
This was one of the first songs of his I used to listen to when I first discovered him back when he only had the two albums out and I would deep dive on YouTube for old raps of his n stuff and he didn’t have many interviews. So I guess I just find it nostalgic for that reason, like it’s not actually one of his best songs but I really like it. Great video too 🔥
I found this adoooorable fan art of James ‘wanted to be on the girls team’ Acaster by cinammonhorne on tumblr. The second one is my fav, that bit where Kerry recreates the friends opening and James doesn’t wanna be a part of it but Jess pulls him in 😭
