sorry for being late to the party…. but your style of creation for this was perfect. you developed your taste throughout the years, then expanded on why you liked each song. this was a perfect example of a tier list. again and again your style continues to impress. keep on stinking
the majority of former emo kids have their phases start in middle school, and end early into highschool. my emo phase started in junior year of highschool, and hasn't quite left even into my fifth year of college.
We're around the same age and literally have the same taste from year to year!! Listen to "king gizzard and the lizard wizard" my personal favorite the last few years :)
This is such a weirdly intimate video you made, & I'm really glad you did. Your timeline is simultaneously familiar yet different to me (I actually also went to film school & I believe I started college a year before you did), and it's kinda crazy how the timelines both match & diverge. Just found your channel today, I love your content & you have a really intoxicating personality, keep up the great work!
also HOOOOOLY CRAP someone else knows about wingings-artist on Spotify I literally just jumped out of my seat & screamed hell yeah I've never found anyone else who's heard of him before I'm so unbelievably happy!!! You have a wonderful evening miss, you magnificent human you!
In middle school and high school I listened to Maroon 5, Evanescence, Linkin Park, Chevelle, Train, Bryan Adams, 38 Special, Boston, Reo Speedwagon, Journey, Bon Jovi, Phil Collins, and Chicago, plus a lot of other 70’s/80’s music. I still like it, but that music definitely has lost its replay value
havent even finished the video despite having had opened this tab like four hours ago. you made me make a whole ass timeline of my music taste and the memories and feelings i revisited not just from music but the things i did during that time made me feel so :)) with how much i've grown up. thanks boo
Really cool that you mentioned Balance and Composure, they're a really underrated band from that. I was fortunate enough to see them with La Dispute, Touché Amoré, and Make Do and Mend. I think about that show a lot.
Here’s my music taste evolution: Kindergarten - 4th grade (2008 - 2013) Mostly influenced by my siblings and parents We had mainstream pop acts like Lady Gaga, Kesha, Katy Perry, Gwen Stefani, Taylor Swift, Avril Lavigne, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, and Nicki Minaj We also had my oldest sister influencing my like for bands and artists such as Evanescence, Flyleaf, Garbage, Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, and The Birthday Massacre We then had my mom’s influence with acts such as Sinead O’Connor, Enya, Kate Bush, The Cure, Siouxsie & The Banshees, and Concrete Blonde 4th grade - 6th grade (2013 - 2015) It was mostly the same stuff but I started to get a little bit more into metal and hard rock music such as In This Moment (who I still love), Halestorm, The Pretty Reckless, Three Days Grace, and Slipknot End of 6th grade - 9th grade (2015 - 2018) This was my long lasting and very cringey emo phase where I thought I was listening to high art and mainstream pop was all trash. It all started with the discovery of THE Melanie Martinez (who I still like) who I quickly became obsessed with, I then dug down the rabbit hole and became engrossed in Halsey, Florence + the Machine, MARINA, Lana Del Rey, PVRIS, and Twenty One Pilots I then quickly started descending into more traditional emo music and became obsessed with MCR, FOB, P!ATD, Falling in Reverse, Motionless in white (I still kinda listen to them), and even the dreaded BOTDF 10th grade - 11th grade (2018 - 2019) I kinda started getting more into mainstream pop music like Ariana Grande and I also still continued to adore the Melanie Martinez, Halsey, And Lana camps of music...which led me to Billie Eilish who listened to for a hot minute right before she blew up (I stopped listening to her, I really don’t like her anymore) I also started getting into a lot more rap such as Rico Nasty, Megan Thee Stallion, and Doja Cat But ultimately....I felt like I was missing something in music...kind of a lack of interest Until Very End of 11th grade - post graduation (2020 - now) During my emo phase...I came across Poppy...I loved her at the time...but looking back, I never truly appreciated her music in the same way I do now....but she had a song in 2018 called Play Destroy featuring a little artist I have never heard of before and never bothered to listen to until the day after 11th grade ended. A little video popped up in my recommended....and I haven’t looked at music the same since...that video...was Kill V. Maim by Grimes. Ever since, I’ve been completely engrossed and obsessed, I’ve listened to every Grimes album since and I’ve dug deeper into the more experimental artists and started to appreciate Poppy and Jazmin Bean more (two experimental I’ve listened to but haven’t truly appreciated). I quickly fell down the rabbit hole of SOPHIE, Arca, Dorian Electra, 100 Gecs, Aphex Twin, FKA twigs, Yeule, Alice Glass, Charli XCX, Rina Sawayama, Slayyyter, COBRAH, Shygirl, Alice Longyu Gao, Chase Icon, Lil Mariko, Lil Texas, Bree Runway, Chester Lockhart, HANA, Brooke Candy, Cecile Believe, Zheani, Coa White, Ashnikko, Night Club, Kim Petras, Kero Kero Bonito, Caroline Polachek, Pussy Riot, Edith Underground, Ethel Cain, REZZ, and Sidewalks and Skeletons. As you can infer, I’m no longer allowed near the aux chord
i listed to plastic beach in 7th grade and it was the first time i bought an album and listed to it front to back and fell in love with it. i found it through a live version of to binge on youtube, so good!
My “bin of random songs” playlist on my channel has a lot of my recommendations. Cool video, I can relate to most, I only had my MCR phase in 3rd grade.
That is crazy that we found Cousin Stizz the same way. Nick Colleti did a horrible skate board trick and in the background it was like “TATOOS ON HER BODY I GOT HER DRESSED IN GIANI”
I have actually listened to/encountered nearly all the artists you mentioned in a similar order during the same periods of my life its actually weird, and nature walks are like the best way to listen to a new album
Thank you so much for making this video, Dev! You really have had a wild music taste evolution through the years (and I thought mine was pretty crazy lol). Can definitely relate with not getting the aux that often lmao D: specially now that my 3 top artists of the year so far are 100 Gecs, Death Grips and QOTSA.
Ps. Will definitely check out some of the artists you mentioned, specially The Garden, I've only listened to Call this # now by them and I think its a cool song
I’ve been watching your videos here and there for the last couple weeks and must give you much deserved props. You’re a one of a kind creator. Such a hoot and always an interesting perspective. Hats off! Keep it up!
idek why im recommending this because you've listened to everything on earth, my favourite rap group is a tribe called quest and i think u should give them a listen
hey I'm a new sub and I love your recent content!! My music taste evolution is wild but generally stays within the realms of prog rock and similar genres
You MUST check out Radiohead! OK Computer and In Rainbows are excellent albums, start with those. Also, Aphex Twin, Phish, Nirvana, and many others. I love music. Great to see you’re enthused by music.
Talk about your music-making journey and how all this music influenced you to make them. I need to watch more of your TikTok lives making beats. Love the channel!
Last year I was at ACL installing the Bluetooth technology I designed and happened to stumble right behind Genesis O right as he was playing "don't need you." NEVER JAMMED HARDER IN MY LIFE, it was one of my 2021 favorites 😊
Subscribed! Awesome content! You probably already received a bunch of recommendations in this thread by now, but if you're into experimental stuff, I'd recommend CLIPPING (any of their albums), EXTRA LIFE (Seed Dreams is my favorite album from them), XIU XIU (Angel Guts: Red Classroom is my personal favorite but all other projects are amazing too). And just because you strike me as someone that may appreciate it, Hyper Light Drifter by Disasterpeace, one of the most beautiful video game music scores I've ever heard. You nailed a LOT of my personal favorites in your list, by the way!
Dude you're so blessed to have started music in 2018ish and be where you are! I've been making music since I was 12 in 2002 lmao. I didn't get "good" until maybe about 2008-2010- but I'm still nowhere close to you in terms of "notoriety" although I'm just grateful to have a honed craft either way!! I only make music for my self liberation and to affect others at the end of the day anyway, we'll see what fappens
21 Pilots live show while they were still coming up made me a lifetime fan. They performed outside in a blizzard wearing tank tops and ski masks. Top 5 live performance.
oh man... I discovered MCR early last year and that was all i listened to. And i had a bit of an emo phase, style wise. I got concert tickets last november and I finally saw them this October :,) it was amazing. I got *slightly* less obsessed earlier this year but then when they released a new song in may, i became an even bigger stan than i was last year!! i'm totally obsessed with them again, the black parade is my fav album
This is such a fun video, but it makes me so happy I’ve stuck to making annual playlists. Since 2013 I add any songs I like to the playlist, and listen to the entire thing on New Year’s Eve. The sheer variety of music on it is kind of silly at this point, but it’s really fun to look back at even if I don’t like some of the music as much as I used to. The albums/EPs that stand out to me are: Beat Tapes 2 - Tom misch (j dilla and John mayer combined? It’s got nice pocket is all I’m saying) Like What - Tennyson (electronic jazz is great and their production is incredible) Bring backs - alfa mist (jazz infused hip hop, really nice composition) Wallflower - Jordan Rakei (all of his albums are great, with a different sound for each one, neo soul I guess is the best definition?) Jacob collier (I’m not recommending an entire album but his discography is a mixture of insanely complicated and extremely fun music. The guy is superhuman at music) Turbo - Cory wong and dirty loops (fusion funk with one of the tightest bands on earth) Chucking in honorable mentions for artists at the end here that are just great: Michael mayo Nate smith Porter Robinson Plini Jakub zytecki HOWES3 Victoria The staves Pino Palladino Tal wilkenfeld Eriksson kaner MARO Ant Law Peter Sandberg Ólafur arnalds Nils frahm Chris hyson The westerlies Bruno Major Okay that’s already too many artists but it’s fun! So much good music around us, and more accessible than ever before
Just stumbled on your channel and I love love love it. Can’t wait to see more! Hope you’re having a good day Edit: Youth holds up super well, give it another spin! Their new album is excellent as well.
if you like experimental music i would highly recommend an artist called Johnnascus, hes quite underground but i think his production and creativity is incredible. his most recent album is one of my most favorite albums ive ever listened to anyway listen to Johnnascus hes amazing
OMG as you had said you had gotten into experimental music I had hoped you would bring up the wingdings artists, the songs are amazing reminds me a lot of aphex twin.
Your Arcade Fire story reminded of the first time I heard Kids. It was on the radio in the car but the radio display was delayed/ not updated so it showed “Let’s Talk About Sex” by Salt-N-Pepa, which obviously wasn’t correct. Wasn’t until months/ nearly a year later I was watching The Secret Life of the American Teenager and Kids played in the credits, thankfully Much Music (Canadian MTV) showed what song was playing and I was so damn excited I finally found the song. Anyways listened to a bunch of MGMT after that
you probably already know this but the person whos name is in wingdinks is Kieran Hebden who primarily makes music as Four Tet! very very talented dude
Cool video! In my case, I feel I have never stop liking music but just expanding my taste more and more (well maybe things like Pantera, Avenged Sevenfold, Bullet for my valentine and other alt. metal stuff I used to listen in 5-6 grade and now I dont). Totally agree on Youth by Citizen, really angsty but so goood.
Just found your Channel and wow I love it. You really have a voice and personality that stands out. Also really good topics. Can’t wait to see more. 👏👏 Subscribed
