Eclectic taste. Genres: Punk, Post-Punk, Goth, (Heavy) Metal, Doomer, Industrial, Ambient, Psych, Alt Rock, Shoegaze, Electronic/Synth, Drone, Noise, EBM, IDM, Dubstep, Ambient Techno, etc. Adore alternative folks who live and breathe music and attend all the gigs they can, as well as northerners who can genuinely say that music and books have saved their lives, at one point or another. 🖤
