Hi. Hey. Hello.
On Christmas, my face was featured on Everyday Feminism so if you have not seen that yet,
I will put a link to the thing down below.
Tumblr has been asking me what my favourite music genres are or what music do I listen
to, etc. and instead of answering that question a bajillion times, we’re gonna make a video.
So in no particular order, let me just tell you what I like.
Alright, listen. Here is my Epik High Born Hater shirt that just arrived today.
Note to self: get it in a size small and read the colour.
I thought it was white but it’s actually “natural” which looks white on the website
but it looks more like an off-white yellow whatever. Oh well.
And since I am wearing the shirt - Epik High.
Epik High is a Korean hiphop/rap group.
A lot of songs are in Korean. A lot of songs are in English ‘cos Tablo is fluent in both
Korean and English. And a lot of songs have a mixture of both.
Epik High’s lyrics just -
They’re some of my absolute favourite in the entire world.
Whenever I’m sad, I’ll listen to an Epik High song. Whenever I need a “fuck you”
song, I’ll listen to some of their songs. When I need to be hyped up and happy, I’ll
listen to some Epik High songs.
And, currently, my jams are Born Hater and Encore/Raise the Curtain.
Tablo has been one of my role models for years.
We both dealt or are dealing with the depression stuff, feeling like we’ve failed at something
in life, but we’ve also started overcoming those things and he has songs about that and
he talks about that and I just -
I love this group a lot. I am never going to end up disliking Epik High. I know it.
This is just one of those groups or singers or people that you know you’re never going
to dislike ever.
Out of all the groups and people that I listen to, this is going to be my number one recommendation.
Busted.
Listen, Busted was my absolute shit when I was twelve for years.
They were that band that helped me when I was a kid, da da da da da.
If you remember when MTV was playing music videos at six o’ clock in the morning, right
before we were all going to school, What I Go To School For would play almost every single
That’s the video I saw. I wanted to listen to it. I ended up buying all the albums and
singles even if it was just repeats of the same songs.
I kept up with live performances. Everything.
And while I’m talking about Busted, let me tell you about my number one favourite
singer of all time, Matt Willis, who was ⅓ of Busted and is now 1/7 of McBusted?
No, ⅙ of McBusted.
Yeah.
I love this dude so much. He’s my absolute favourite. I could listen to him forever.
Do you see that star tattoo on his hand?
When I was in school, I would take a pen and I would draw that star on the exact same spot
and pretend it was my tattoo.
McFLY.
I did not get into McFLY until I was about fifteen-years-old when I met my friend, Crystal,
because I was one of those immature little kids that was so anti-McFLY just because I
was a Busted fan.
I don’t understand it now but that was then.
Finally, three years, I was like, “Okay, Crystal. I’m gonna listen to some McFLY,”
I fell in love.
Little Mix.
My friend, Bobby, is to blame for this.
If I’m ever, like, really upset -
I will watch the music video - both the regular music video and the dance version - of Move,
one of their singles, and I am just - My mood instantly gets better and I’m just dancing
and I love it.
I love this group so much.
Brian Joo, my second favourite singer of all time.
This guy has the prettiest voice and the prettiest face - or one of the prettiest faces - in
my opinion. Just my opinion.
I absolutely adored him when he was in Fly to the Sky and my heart broke when they broke
up and it got excited again when they started getting back together. Solo albums were coming
out and I’m just over the moon.
I love this man.
When I need that voice to calm me down and just get me feeling a little bit better, Brian
is the way to go.
This is going to surprise absolutely nobody.
Aaron Yan.
AKA, yes, the one dude I would probably marry in my life if I could.
Ah.
This guy has one of those sexy deep voices that I love hearing when he’s talking, when
he’s singing.
I am not a ballad kind of person ever, really, but his ballads - I love.
Brian’s ballads, I also love.
Has anyone else’s iPhone had the album covers and the actual artists and stuff just be two
completely different things?
This is Cassie Steele, okay.
Cassie Steele, if you watch Degrassi, you know who I’m talking about.
Manny Santos, yes.
I love her lyrics. I love how husky her voice is.
She’s one of those people that I always look forward to when there’s a new album
coming out.
She basically understands my inner pervert, okay.
2NE1. Yes, that Korean girl group.
A lot of people commented on my Shit Hearing People Say video being so excited that I played
Go Away by 2NE1.
I’ve been a fan of 2NE1 ever since they came out.
2NE1 is just one of those girl power groups that gets you really pumped up. I love the
dance kind of music. Stuff that gets me dancing and moving. Fast paced music is obviously
my kind of music.
Plus the whole girl power, feminism thing - I’m all for.
And last but not least, G.E.M who is a Hong Kongese singer.
I love her voice. It is just so… amazing.
And listening to her bring out the high notes in live performances and songs, I am in absolute
awe.
And she’s so cute.
And her music videos are always really fun or really beautiful and I’m a fan.
So those are my go-to picks when it comes to my music.
So your homework is to leave your favourite singers, bands, groups, whatever, people that
you love to listen to in the comments below. I’m always looking for new stuff to listen
to.
I don’t care what genre it is. I will always give something a try.
So yeah. Hope you enjoyed and I will see you in my next video. Bye.
