the 10 weirdest musical self-expressions (so far)

i'm starting to rank things now

After The Musical Self-Expression Spectrum essay, besties and exes started shilling me their mid-spectrum forms of expression. And in the spirit of Tumblr Substack, I figured reblogging was the way to go.

Below, please find the 10 weirdest suggestions for the music spectrum. :-)

(Add your own suggestions in the comments or DM and I’ll add ‘em to the final Musical Self-Expression Spectrum).

1. Shazaming in a church

You were just wondering…

2. Taking a college level course on Taylor Swift

I can’t make it, I have my Era’s midterm due tomorrow.

3. Asking your Uber driver for the bluetooth

“Excuse me, sir…”

Dead sober, too.

Hey, a physical sale is a physical sale.

Bonus points if it’s raining.

See “Delete” by Ninajirachi.

Very specific vibe.
