I post this because maybe some of us will listen to a song after reading the replies and have a different perspective on a song that we have heard a hundreds of times. Mine would be Drugs/Hoes/Money/Etc. and Black $uicide. I cannot for the life of me choose between the two of them. I am a genre hopper but have been listening to $uicideboy$ sometimes consistently and sometimes inconsistantly throughout the years. There have been periods where i go into an episode of Drain Gang, Mainstream artists like Rick Ross, Kodak Black, Swedish Rap (I live in sweden), Falling in reverse, Pet shop boys etc. But somehow, after months of not listening to the boys I find myself craving one of these two songs. It could be during a shift at work where I am doing the dishes and start humming the deep atmospheric melody of Drugs/Hoes, or playing dark souls 2 and getting to Majula where the theme song instantly reminded me or Black $uicide (for a long time I thought thats where the sample came from, look it up! very similar vibes.) I have heard the whole discography and know the lyrics to heart. Even like many of the new stuff (like Light at the end of the tunnel, Monochromatic, Gospel of scott and After further reasoning I am going to bed. But these two songs NEVER get skipped. That is a huge compliment to the boys. I have a 17 hour playlist on spotify, every song gets skipped atleast once but these two, never. There is something that makes me feel at home with them. It’s like a checkpoint, and every time I hear them I am at a different stage in life but always get reminded of where I was when I heard these two for the first time. From smoking with my friends after school to working a minumum wage job to now attending uni to fullfill my dream of becoming a physician. It’s like that one quote in the video game undertale where the protagonist looks at the mirror and the narrator goes ”despite everything, it’s still you”. I also feel that way about the boy$ themselves, despite everything it’s still them and I am still me at a different stage in life.
Sorry for long text and if you made it through reading allat, thank you.
Would yall like to share your favorites and maybe share their story if they happen to have one? I would gladly listen to your songs again but through a different lense and have yalls story in my thoughts while listening.
Much love and hope to see some of you in in the pit if the ever boys come to sweden ever again <3
