since my music taste is all over the place, i'm splitting this into two

one: k-pop

• red velvet
• girls' generation (all the solos as well)
• nine muses
• t-ara
• exo
• iu
• jessica jung

these are the groups i listen to often, of course, there are many more i fancy but these are just...favourites.

two: everything else

• placebo (favourite band of all time, seen them live twice)
• the smiths
• naviband
• a flock of seagulls
• arctic monkeys
• franz ferdinand
• muse
• depeche mode
• cigarettes after sex
• joy division
• new order
• lana del rey
• the neighbourhood
• iamx
• two door cinema club
• sneaker pimps
• older chvrches stuff is really fucking good

again, not everything is included here but this is the stuff i listen to frequently, as well as a plethora of specific songs by other artists.

i also really like:

• classical music (MOSTLY shostakovich, chopin + beethoven)
• ideological music
• broadway/west end/musicals, that type of deal
