sharing a bed would’ve gone so well with the band au slow burn tbh…. MISSED OPPORTUNITIES RACHEL

omg...

you’re so right

WAIT

So this is a very boring answer, but the answer is: no, not really, BUT, I did that on purpose.

There’s a sort of “joke” somewhere in chapter 2 (I believe - whenever they find out Blue is a drummer) where Noah, Ronan, and Gansey all describe their sound with a different type of music. I didn’t want to choose one specific genre because I wanted people to imagine their own sound. (And also a bit because I’m no good at descriptions.) 

However, I do have an idea for what type of music each of the individual band members listens to. It’s kind of narrowed down to:

blue is so accurate. i would actually switch adam and gansey tbh, i’ve always thought of gansey as the indie sad man playing guitar guy with his artsy journal and everything aksdjsakjd and adam as into classic rock

Ahhh, I could see that too! You make a solid argument that is swaying me. 

My main thought was that, at least in FTLS, Gansey isn’t supposed to be a music guy. He did the band for Ronan, because he loves him and wanted him to be happy, but unlike Noah/Blue/Adam/Ronan, he doesn’t really have that passion. So I imagined him not even really listening to music (he wouldn’t really seek it out, for example), and only knowing what he grew up listening to. So he kind of parrots out the names he hears/is familiar with, ha.
