series that i enjoyed but kinda go off the rails:

things that i tend to dislike (but ofc it depends on the song! i never have a concrete Will Not Listen)

• typical rock instrumentals
• too much repetition (e.g. of a single lyric or a melodic line)
• male vocals
• vocal mixing that makes it difficult to hear the original voice/vocal texture
• BALLADS ...
• slow songs that are just like [piano + a bare vocal line] or [acou. guitar + vocals]
• too much rap in one song, screamo, country

things that i tend to like

• varied instrumentation
• orchestral/symphonic pop accompaniment
• jazz or jazz adjacent
• unfortunate addiction to hi-hat triplet

TYSM FOR ALL THE MUSIC!!! i have done my best to go thru all of them and write down my Thoughts. i do not have many thoughts. fortunately or unfortunately? nonetheless .... [ ] yeah
