current state: putrefaction

It is mentioned that Audra wears Rogan & Marsh, a brand she tends to favor.

Stan wrote letters to author William Denbrough (that, while he never sent, he had intended to). Stan was a big fan of Denbrough's work.

Richie Tozier read William Denbrough's newest book to count the number of times Denbrough wrote 'fuck' in the book (at first, you would think this was for a gag in one of his stand-up shows... except Richie is a disk jockey in the book, not a comedian).

Eddie sometimes listened to Richie Tozier's radio show (even when Myra nor him enjoyed the show much).

They all knew about Ben Hanscom's achievements (even when it is implied that out of the successful losers, he's one of the least successful ones).

“Wait…your name is seriously your name? Blade?”

PSA idk much abt japanese music but i do know american pop music pretty well so😳 here we go

kaneki… he don’t got internet😹 ok but seriously i can’t see him listening to a crazy amount of music because i think he’d struggle to listen to it and read at the same time, and he’d choose reading over music

he likes whatever hide sends to him even though he doesn’t understand the english lyrics but it’s ok because neither does hide . so when he listens to music he listens to hide’s playlist . does he know that there is other music

hide canonically likes pop music in english but if we’re getting specific then i don’t think he’s much of a swiftie i think he’d like early billie eilish ngl and also olivia rodrigo . maybe some sabrina carpenter.. i also think he’d listen to j-pop because duh, but maybe he’d enjoy some rock music he just hasn’t branched out yet

touka is too angsty for pop, i want to say she listens to punk music but i don’t think she’d admit it . she tells u she doesn’t listen to music but she always complains about how stupid and happy and rainbows the radio sounds and u can tell there are earphones in her backpack but ur too scared to ask her abt it . the last person who asked her was yomo and it made her realise he knows what music is even

speaking of… yomo doesn’t go out of his way to listen to music but he has his favourite radio songs . i’d like to think yomo washes the dishes in the back of anteiku when he doesn’t have anything else to do (he has a lot of free time), and he can hear the radio playing from in the cafe . if anyone in the room starts speaking over one of His songs then he will glare at them until they stop . i think i’ve said this before but he’d like espresso by sabrina carpenter cus espresso is one of the english words he knows and he’s like ‘wow she must like coffee lol me too’

does yoshimura listen to anything i mean probabblyyyy yoshimura lowk is one of those parents who tries to get his children (yomo irimi and koma) to play instruments but they hate it but he likes it so please!!! i think irimi could play piano. in another life they could open one of those fancy restaurants with live music

nishiki is difficult to place. i feel like he’d listen to the lo-fi girl to study bcos she looks a teeny bit like kimi😭😭 speaking of kimi i feel like she listens to jazz music to focus

tsukiyama listens to opera music to seem refined but it just makes everyone laugh at him

hinami didn’t rlly grow up with music and she’d be scared by what touka listens to 😭 put her onto some indie pop or something get my girl listening to cavetown

rize listens to goth rock and if u disagree ur wrong

uta would be one of those people who says he listens to every genre but he listens to like metal, punk, rock (duh), and rap and the rap part is what makes him feel like he’s doing every genre because it’s just slightly different😭 he’ll diss pop music to anyone who’ll listen and it’s a little corny but it’s ok because he has really good taste

itori is choosing music for her bar which results in her listening to primarily r&b and jazz . i think she would have a love for disco music as well and would play it to annoy yomo . yomo once requested a song from her and she played it and she and uta spent the entire time teasing him for the request even though they kind of enjoyed it, they just thought it was generic😭

anyhoo juuzou has the worst music taste ever . his playlist is more of a photo album he just saves album covers he thinks looks cool regardless of what’s in it . he listens to fucking electroswing and hyper pop do not give him the aux good god man . probably once played a hazbin hotel song in front of shinohara and shinohara was just like Oh that’s a lot of swearing huh…. sorry juuzou u definitely listen to hazbin hotel and FUCK hazbin hotel sorry

akira listens to fiona apple or something adjacent that’s all

amon is a swiftie because sabrina carpenter is too risqué for him

takizawa probably listens to clairo or something😭

OKAY

kaneki/ haise:

- pre jason: more indie and experimental rock but generally softer and thought provoking

artists: pachinko, alex g, radiohead, plastic tree, my dead girlfriend, downy, deadman, carissa’s weird

- post jason: heavier but still melodic. heavy metal, alt rock, nu metal, first gen emo

artists: dir en grey, get scared, a perfect circle, mejibray, linkin park, korn, thursday

- haise: forgot his roots as an alt baddie </3 but still has an innate appreciation for heavier music as well as enjoys music that the quinx put him on (mainly saiko) which is more pop oriented

artists: madman’s esprit, shazna, kalavinka, queen bee (anime shout out), an cafe, diauara

and then ending kaneki would just be a mix of everything ☆
