YOU ARE THE LIGHT

In the very Caribbean New York City neighborhood where I grew up, three colors made up the summer manicures of the early 2000s: white, cotton candy pink, and neon yellow. All the cool girls, moms, and aunties requested these hues, but I had an affinity for the last one. Highlighter yellow—in all its fluorescent glory—was my go-to vacation nail color. It complemented my skin tone and looked even…

It wasn't until a few years ago I really started getting into music.

I liked it so much I even picked up an instrument, but sadly that's gone nowhere as of now.

But I always wondered why I kind of strayed from the mainstream music. It's not that I don't like it. Mainstream music can be very pleasing to the ear, but for some reason I keep moving to more obscure stuff. Not too obscure if you get me, I know a decent chunk of people have heard of a lot of my favorite bands, but I'd be surprised if I chose a random Derek, aged 26, off the streets of Duluth, and he'd heard of... idk.. let's say Ghost Funk Orchestra.

Not that they aren't popular, they have a couple hundred thousand monthly listeners on spotify, but I wouldn't call them mainstream, you get me?

By the way Ghost Funk Orchestra has some fantastic music if you haven't heard. start with the album "A song for Paul." Kinda soulful, Kinda funky. It's very nice.

Anyways I always wondered why I never gravitated towards more popular stuff. Like for example, let's say Tyler, the creator. I was invested in the Chromakopia album dropping. I listened to every snippet, and I really liked them. When the album dropped, I really liked it. But it didn't stay at all in my rotation.

But then there's albums like Dayglo, by the band Love Battery, that released in 1992. I wasn't alive for the drop of this album, and even though I heard it was decently popular for it's time, it's become less popular with time. I heard this album for the first time on accident 3 weeks ago, and it's been a permanent fixture of my daily life since then.

makes me wonder if I'm subconsciously trying to be not boring.

Or maybe the music I like just doesn't have a mainstream scene anymore. Like the two examples I mentioned before, Rap, like Chromakopia is, has a mainstream scene, Tyler is a part of it, but Dayglo is from the grunge movement. Grunge doesn't have as big a scene now as it did back then.

it's tearing me apart (2025)
