Hello !! You can call me Colt or McKinley, use which ever one you want! I am from Alaska (hence the nickname McKinley) and I am 18 years old! I go by they/he pronoun, again use which ever one you want. I've been an avid listener of music since 2020, with the genres of music fluctuating every few years.
There are 3 eras: my pop/rap era, my rock era, and now I'm in my metal era. 2020-2022 was my pop/rap era, 2022-2024 was my rock era, then this year is going to be my metal era. Some notable artists from each era are the following: pop/rap era: Post Malone, Eminem, Clairo, J. Cole, Cameron Brown (he only has like around 50 monthly streams btw) Kendrick Lamar, Wiley From Atlanta, Travis Scott, and Drake. I still listen to a bit of Post Malone, Clairo, Cameron Brown, and J. Cole a bit, not the others, however. I still consider Post Malone and Clairo to be one of my favorite artists of all time. Sometime in 2022, I decided to delve into new music, and there I fell upon the glorious My Chemical Romance. I think the first song I've ever heard from them (other than welcome to the black parade) was Ambulance, which I REALLY liked when I first listened to it. I consider that my starting point in my rock era. In my rock era, I've listened to Nirvana, as I've mentioned before My Chemical Romance, Radiohead, Alice In Chains, Rainbow Kitten Surprise, Moon Walker, Dance Gavin Dance, Paramore, and Green Day. On my birthday in 2023, I met the most important person in my life, aka my long distance gf :3. They REALLY like metal, I think their favorite subgenre is either goregrind or black metal. It took me almost a year of being with them to get fully interested in metal music. Before I met them I only listened to Slipknot, Korn, Faetooth, and System of a Down. Earlier this month I discovered that I really like metal, so I decided to delve into it's subgenres, notably black/depressive black metal, sludge metal, and neue deutsche härte (alternative and industrial metal combined with electronic music). The bands I currently like are Nattefrost (black metal), Stone Titan (sludge metal), Dark Angel (thrash metal), My Useless Life (depressive black metal), and Unearthly Trance (sludge metal).
There goes my story in terms of music :3. I still do listen to a bit of the past artists/bands I've listened from 2020-2023, some I even consider one of my favorite artists/bands of all time :3. Feel free to recommend me bands/artists of any sorts, I'll definitely listen to them when I get the chance! If you would want to speak to me directly or get to know me more, you could either message me here or follow me on instagram @visst_stykke :3, just let me know ahead of time so I know where you came from!
