SHAME

Prompt: A song you were ashamed of liking when you were 13-16.


Charlie: "Ningyo Hime" - Rie Tanaka (CHOBITS Anime Ending)

Age: 13-15
Context: Chobits was the first Manga I ever saw/read at 10 y.o., which sparked my love for Manga and Anime, which ultimately sparked my love for drawing and arts.. I still LOVE the song but I was super ashamed to unironically listen to anime music back in my early teenage years.



Zuhui: "Prologue" - David Newman (Soundtrack from Disney movie 'Anastasia')

Age: 14-16
Context: I remember feeling a sense of shame for liking music from animated series or movie when I was a teenager. As a kid I wanted to be seen as grown up as much as possible and do grown up stuffs, so enjoying something from animated contents made me feel immature. Apart from how misleading the historical facts are in this Disney movie, I still love the atmosphere and the song it created around the pre and post Russian revolution, with magic in between.



Alexandria: "Joker And The Thief" - Wolfmother

Age: 13-15
Context: I found it very hard to make friends starting highschool, and one of the things I was hoping was that there'd be people who liked the same music I did. Unfortunately very few people did and I kind of got bullied out of the things I liked and into things I didn't really care for. Thankfully now I can very much embrace the music I loved back then, and most of it I still do!



Kiara: "What makes you beautiful" - One Direction

Age: 12-14
Context: Everyone was listening to One Direction back then, and even if I was trying hard not to fit it the mould...I couldn't help but like the song...


GUILT

Prompt: A guilty pleasure song from your teenage years (you still listen to).


Imina: "You'll Always Find Your Way Back Home" - Hannah Montana

Age: 12-14
Context: If Hannah Montana can find her way back home, so can I :')



Zuhui: "Pump it" - Black Eyed Peas

Age: 14-16
Context: I used to be a big fan of the Black Eyed Peas as a teenager because back then they were the coolest thing ever. I still listen to some of their songs, but I think I feel guilty about it because my friends think they're cringe. It's mostly because their music is now played regularly at tasteless pubs and clubs during 2000s-themed nights(but I would still love to dance my ass off to this).



Alexandria: "Unravel" - Toru Kitajima

Age: 14-15
Context: Was absolutely obsessed with Tokyo Ghoul and the anime's opening and I still sing it at karaoke nights, but I'd be hesitant to admit that to anyone outside of that bubble.



Kiara: "Tatoue Moi" - Mozart L'Opéra Rock

Age: 13-16
Context: It's a musical, the lead singer is Italian and has this sexy accent when singing in French... I know the lyrics by heart <3.


SORROW

Prompt: A song that made you sob or which you listened to when you were terribly sad.


Alexandria: "Sometimes" - The Drones

Age: 16
Context: This song always managed to hit the melancholy just right, violent sobbing included!



Fred: "Candles" - Daughter

Age: 16
Context: When I was depressed and endlessly bored at boarding school, I used to sit in my room for hours and listen to Indie Shuffle. This is one of the songs that brings me back to that time. Sorry to everyone I sent this to.



Kiara: "Landfill" - Daughter

Age: 15-16
Context: I discovered this song because a friend of mine covered it at a high-school concert. She was sending a message to her ex who cheated on her at the time by singing this. It hit hard and it's now my go-to when I'm sad.

LOVE

Prompt: A song from an artist/artists/band you still listen to today.



Sevgi: "Haberin Yok Oluyorum" - Duman

Age: 15
Context: Duman's concerts were the first concerts where I went with my friends, drank beers and had loads of fun. I loved this song because the crowd would become one and sway one way and then the other together and it felt incredible to finally be a person but also belong to the crowd.



Alexandria: "Easy Easy" - King Krule

Age: 14-16
Context: I loved King Krule for a lot of reasons, his accent, his vibe, his sound, it was definitely my first musician crush.



Kiara: "Breezeblocks" - Alt-J

Age: 15
Context: Gym class: we have to make choreographies and choose a song to match with. One of my friends suggests Alt-J, i don't know them. She makes us listen to it, we agree. It's been one of my favourite bands ever since, saw them twice live, they're amazing.



Martina: "Never Let Me Down Again" - Depeche Mode

Age: 15
Context: My dad is obsessed with Depeche Mode- since I can remember till the present day, he plays all their albums in the car. He also plays them at home while he's working, their songs started to feel like background noise in the house. But this specific song, along with many others by the band, is great.
