as much as i would like to pretend to be some pretentous music enthusiast (which i sort of am, minus the pretentious part hopefully) i cannot hide my enjoyment for simple pop music.

i really enjoy lights, (the canadian lady lights, that one.) she's like the female version of adam from owl city (who actually ripped off postal service/deathcab) and her voice is very pleasant. her song quiet is delightful. the instrumental for quiet is very plucky and bouncy yet subdued, it reminds me of having a first crush. there's these little flourishes of pops (like the burst of a bubble) and some backing vocals by lights that really tie it all together. quiet as a song is very sweet and lovely, and that's all there is to say about it really.

a disclaimer regarding my usage of the word "emo" to describe a fan of mid-2000s pop-punk and pop-rock artists such as fall out boy: "Real Emo" only consists of the dc Emotional Hardcore scene and the late 90's Screamo scene. What is known by "Midwest Emo" is nothing but Alternative Rock with questionable real emo influence. When people try to argue that bands like My Chemical Romance are not real emo, while saying that Sunny Day Real Estate is, I can't help not to cringe because they are just as fake emo as My Chemical Romance (plus the pretentiousness). Real emo sounds ENERGETIC, POWERFUL and somewhat HATEFUL. Fake emo is weak, self pity and a failed attempt to direct energy and emotion into music. Some examples of REAL EMO are Pg 99, Rites of Spring, Cap n Jazz (the only real emo band from the midwest scene) and Loma Prieta. Some examples of FAKE EMO are American Football, My Chemical Romance and Mineral EMO BELONGS TO HARDCORE NOT TO INDIE, POP PUNK, ALT ROCK OR ANY OTHER MAINSTREAM GENRE

 it is officially medumikey4/galaxywars4ever/aguywholikesapples's seventeenth birthday. it is quite literally 12am as i type this up but that is irrelevant. mr. mykhal has had to come to terms with a part of his identity that has been apart of him since infancy. 

his resemblance to 2007 pete wentz is uncanny. maybe the emoness surrounding the year 2007 greatly influenced michael? perhaps the emo got into his developing body and manifested in adolescence, like eyelined radiation. 

for a long time, he tried to deny and hide this aspect of himself. when i introduced him to fall out boy (shortly before he fell in love with them), he denied that he would become emo. after much persuasion, he listened to three cheers for sweet revenge and later the black parade. as for the former, i did not have to pester him into listening to it. he heard bullets a few days ago and enjoyed it, as he did with the other aforementioned mcr albums. this is greatly significant. 

WHY DOES THIS MATTER!?!? you may ask

michael held off on publically stating his enjoyment of my chemical romance with the knowledge that it would worsen the emo allegations that went on to be true. he was a closeted emo. that is, until i outed him in an instagram post congratulating him for surviving another year without a pack of vicious squirrels swooping in to rip off his sideburns. my statement reads as follows:

happy birthday to this guy. he's seventeen now. i put together the final joyous image to congratulate him for coming to terms with a truth that the public will soon know. not that he is gay, although there is much speculation in that sense, but that he is emo. the resemblance to pete wentz of fall out boy is uncanny. on a similar note to being outed as emo, he may or may not come out as homosexual and/or bicurious at some point in the future. if you would like to bet on it, please dm me your cashapp username and i will pay you accordingly once that does/doesn't transpire. you should also listen to his music. he's on spotify and everything, same name as his ig handle. it's ass.

outing him was necessary, i did it in a far superior way and explained his horrid condition in an understanding way so the people around him would understand his emoness. this is so that people are not afraid of him or people like him.

in writing this post, i hope to enlighten the world in regards to michael's horrid condition, in addition to spreading awareness of how it begins. 

PSA: do NOT give birth in a year where an emo artist releases an album, your child could absorb the whinge radiation and suffer later in life as a consequence.

 song of the winter: dance, dance (alvin and the chipmunks version) by aguywholikesapples/medumikey4

song of the summer: ripping other people off by yours truly

don't ask why we made bizarre songs at 3am

id plug the mp3 files here but i cant insert 'em

bawww

 my latest artistic venture has been into the realm of overly editing random pictures of people to resemble mlg memes

this is very humorous to me

me and my boyfriend were watching a fall out boy interview and decided to edit this one screencap of pete wentz (because he made a stupid face)

i did the editing by the way, he just suggested things and helped me decide on where to place things. i think the frog kissing spooderman was an excellent touch, along with snoop dogg being shot in the penis. very funny. 

i think i've grown fond of all of my little edits and i WILL be making more. i love seeing how much i can add to the picture to the point that the original is unrecognizable. veeery funny. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

the third of my creations was based off of this picture of patrick stump, which has been an inside joke between my boyfriend and i for the past week:

before: unattractive creature, bane of my existence, foul appearance and potent stench. ew.

and then i worked my amazing cosmetic majiyck.

after: gorgeous gamer girl, healthy diet of mtn dew and doritos, regularly smokes weed as instructed by physician (dr. dogg)

this is one of my greatest achievements ever

 sophomore slump or comeback of the year makes me feel something deep within my chest. oh to discover fall out boy for the first time and to write their song titles on the fron of my binder and to listen to their entire discography and to resonate with their lyrics and to make everything a reference to their music. oh to get checkered vans and my first band shirt and to watch emo fringe tutorials and to do my eyeliner shittily. oh to make my mom watch fall out boy music videos with me (lulz). to hum their songs on the route home from middleschool. 

 i feel a thousand years old so i'm experiencing nostalgia for a period of my life that was only 4-5 years ago. very odd. i wonder what it'll be like when i have actual life experience. anyways. fall out boy rules and i am a falloutboyliker at heart. it took a lot for me to admit that. its like ripping my teeth out with pliers. cork tree is still cool.

 i forgot how fun as cruel as schoolchildren was

this album used to be on loop duude

it's so catchy, there's so many earworms on the album that it's not even funny (clothes off, viva la white girl, scandalous scholastics, etc etc)

the beats on this album in particular are the best out of all gch instrumentals in my opinion, maaybe rivaled by the quilt (cookie jar has my heart). 

new friend request is made by its instrumental, same to viva la white girl-which isn't to undermine the lyrics or travie's rapping.

 new friend request is such a cute and fun song, it perfectly encapsulates the era that this album came out in. a song dedicated to myspace and online relationships is very 2006 and very silly. 

clothes off is amazing, made even better by the featured vocals from patrick stump. it's very danceable and flirtatious, possibly the best song out of the album. it's so groovy and catchy and wonderful. bonus points for a short bus joke in the lyrics. 

 on a similar note

bad touch is very catchy aswell. dare i say catchier. the catchiest of bloodhound gang songs, even.

it has this groovy bassline carrying the song, despite it being a bit drowned out by the dance beat and drum loop throughout. i feel like it adds so much funk and character to a song filled with sex innuendos.

i think it's pretty genius that jimmy pop managed to make a raunchy sex song into a danceable track featuring pseudo-rapping. 

tfw we ain't nothin but mammals

 firewaterburn by the bloodhound gang rules

it's such a fun and delightful little ditty

i really love how the chorus comes in with this neat acoustic guitar melody (that continues throughout the song) before launching into this energized wall of guitar riffage. it's a little distorted and a lot awesome. overall, the song both sounds very relaxed and energetic at the same time. veeeery cool.

then jimmy pop's deadpan delivery perfectly contrasts with (and complements) the instrumentation. very pleasing. 

fwb is a very satisfying song 

 4.53am

flea market was cool. hot. extremely hot. got some beanie babies and debated on purchasing some knives. i did not do that because i was sure that my mom would ask about it.

i really appreciate her for driving us down to fl and withstanding the heat for my odd scavenger hobbies. 

also we bought some very delicious peanuts. that was cool.

 everytime i indulge in wangst i have to keep my composure and remember that (if i ever do anything retarded) screenshots from this site will likely be posted on my enyclopedia dramatica page. this is extremely humbling.

i really hope they use retard and faggot as much as possible on my article and put that autistic pic at the top (easily offendable/sensitive one). that would be lulzy. 

i like seeing whatever new url theyve redirected to pop up when i search up their site and then i get to have fun scrolling forever

 5:26am

my moms chilled out. so am i.

i'm feelin pretty exicted for my ap scores to come out. i think i did pretty good. i'm a little nervous bout junior year but it should be fiiine.

i've been gradually getting back into fall out boy (thanks to my boyfriend michael. he is cool. makes good music even though i pretend that he sucks. he's a very ambitious dude.) and it feels very strange and wonderful

my whole world used to revolve around this poppunk band and they helped ease me into adolescence. a lot of my internet friends that i made in my earlier teen years were thru our mutual love for this band. they were all i ever thought about. i would make my mom watch their music videos and i used to be ableto list their every album by track. i could practically recite the lyrics to any pre-hiatus song if you asked me to. love love loved them. at like 1am thursday i looked at my old fall out boy pinterest board and saw little memes and picturs that used to make me laugh, or cool fanart that i liked. it was surreal.

if i made my last.fm account months earlier i'm sure my fall out boy streams would be in the thousands

today me and my mom r gonna go to a flea market in jacksonville. we might go out to eat also. it should rule. we're planning on leaving at 12 and i was intending on getting up at 10. its currently 5:37. that totally sounds plausible now.

today should be great.

future me will tell you of my sweet adventuring. l8ers.
