I listen to a crap load of music so why not list my favourite albums as they come and go! This will probably be the most personal thing on this site apart from useless anarchy as each album will come with a description and most likely some personal anecdote(s). My love for music comes from the personal experiences I shared alongside it as much as the music itself.

All-time favourite: "Summer made me blue; summer gave me sky", by 'heroin party'.
This is a side project of Sam Ray, better known by one of his many other pseudonyms: teen suicide; ricky eat acid; or, perhaps, starry cat, and many others. Summer is this nihlistic ambient record that appears to be about a starving heroin addict. This feels to be an album so dear to me that I can never quite find the exact words to describe it other than it's genre.

The rest of these are not in order c:

"Pinkerton" by 'Weezer'.
An all-time classic amongst the indiemo web-nerd/geek/dork crowd. Pinkerton was initially passed around in these small internet circles despite later being denounced by the band as an embarassment. The opener on this has one of my favourite guitar riffs ever. Proper scratches something in my brain.

"Those Days Are Gone" by 'Free Throw'.
I've loved this record for a long time going back to my introduction into 2010s midwest emo. TDAG combines midwest emo, an almost acoustic passing sound, and screamo in one tried-and-tested yet still unique sounding record. It has become one of my favourites. The more emo I ever-listen to; the more I find myself searching for this album in them. There is nothing else like what Free Throw have pieced together in here.

"Starfucker" & "Starfucker (Deluxe)" by 'Slayyyter'.
I've been a day one of slayyyter. I was trying to convince my friends to listen to her when this album dropped; posted myself to "I love hollywood!" on New Year's Eve; lost my mind at the deluxe track release. WGIA$ is her opus (as of 27th/june/2026) but it would have ceased to exist if not for the energy Slayyyter stepped into on James Dean. This is WGIA$'s sister album. S-fer was the glam and glitz faux-persona and WGIA$ is the raw and real Cathy.

note: The next two albums I see as a double album of sorts.

"The Obsessives" by 'The Obsessives'.
Fourteen track dirty melancholindiemo. This is an opus of the 2010s indie rock-inspired emo scene. I REALLY WANT THE CAR TO CRAAASSHHH!!!!!

"Colourmeinkindness" by 'Basement'.
The Obsessives' grunge-rock double. Also, avoidant final boss if it was an album. Pine and Covet are the standouts, but especially Covet.

"Random Access Memories" by 'Daft Punk'.
Discovery overrated. Computer, intitalise: RAM.

"Rites of Spring" by 'Rites of Spring'
How could I make a favourite album list without putting the birth of EmoCore in here. This could also feature as a double since the Rite of Spring by Stratavisnky became one of my favourite pieces of classical music (the emo laterspiration definitely helped...). The 80s emotional hardcore scene had lighting in their bottles and gave birth to one of the greatest genres of music. Phenomenal album too.

"Notes on a Conditional Form" by 'The 1975'.
This album is emo in a garage sense and in the way in which Slayyyter's WGIA$ is punk in an industrial-electroclash sense. If you hear this album then it's likely you will not enjoy it on first listen and may even feel underwhelmed. Frail State of Mind was my soundtrack to my agoraphobia before it hit it's worst during 2022, and Playing On My Mind to when I'd lay sick to my stomach off of antidepressants the year later. Me & You Together Song; People; JC2005GBA; Guys; If You're Too Shy - there is so much to love in this project. It's all over the place? Just like when your aunt and uncle fight over the speaker at an end of year gathering. It feels culturally personal but maybe I'm pulling at straws to justify my love of this mess.

"WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA" by 'Slayyyter'.
Had to know it was coming. This is punk in the way Notes is emo and that's my hottest musical take for today. Slayyy75 would eat. But anyway, the album. As aforementioned, the spritual successor to Starfucker but also to her debut: Troubled Paradise. The persona is flipped and revealed in full disillusionment of Hollywood and the american dream. Maybe this album would be a great soundtrack to GTA IV now that I think about it. Slayyyter's Yeezus; Slayyyter's The Fame, and a brother album that could be The Fame Monster; Slayyyter's Notes on a Conditional form, except people loved this on release. This is camp as fuck and culturally queer in it's origins, fanbase, production, and especially in it's lyricism. This is the culmination of everything Slayyyter has done up until it's release and she has no plans of stopping. BUC$ is the perfect pop song; CRANK is CRANK; Old Technology is cunt as fuck; DANCE! is one hell of an opener; GAS STATION AND YES GODDD has her stepping into Gorillaz and Crystal Castles with a metal flair; BRITTANY MURPHY... what a way to close off the album and wrap up all the rabbit symbolism in the music vidoes while keeping it midwestern. Genuine masterwork. Really excited to hear her explore this surf rock sound she lauched with CANNIBALISM!. Yippee!!!
