okay so as you read on the home page, my favorite bands everrrrrr are the academy is..., midtown, and cobra starship. full disclosure, my passion for tai and midtown now outweighs my passion for cobras but it feels wrong to demote them and i do still love them 4eva. i can tell you everything you need to know about all of these bands and especially like william beckett, gabe saporta, tyler rann, tom conrad and when he got kicked out, etcetc. talking about these bands is truly one of my favorite things to do
my special interest is also the record label "fueled by ramen"!!!!! i devote basically all my free time to learning more about it :3 my technical origin to my fbr obsession happens all the way back in 2015 at the ripe age of 11 *insert flashback music* my only social media was pinterest and i had one friend. one day they tell me to listen to panic at the disco and the rest is history. i became very quickly obsessed with them and fall out boy. but i didnt know abt fbr yet. flash forward past many years of repression to 2021, i get into tai and cobras and gch based on association with fob and panic. and yet i still was not conciously in love with fr. until january 11th 2022, when i was gifted the fbr 15the anniversary book. immediately, i fell in love with the label and started trying to listen to every band ever signed to the label. but don't get it twisted. my love of fbr goes far beyond the "bandom"-y bands. i could talk circles around the bands signed from animal chin all the way to current signings like games we play (even though i don't like gwp LOLLL)
okay this is me reminding myself to come back here and talk more abt other specific bands LOL
