Songs about things on the internet and terrible people

[vAmPiReSoFtWaRe]

After years of not writing any songs because I lacked inspiration, I've been using topics from the internet (and The F Plus) as subject matter and I've been cranking songs out. Synthesizer V has also been critical so I can skip the whole tedious procedure of tracking vocals in a closet and not being happy with the final result.* At this point I've got songs about Starseeds, nice guys, conspiracy theorists, the Mandela Effect, toxic Etsy Witches, monkey moms, and even a ballad about wanting to get romantically involved with a well known cryptid. I like to write songs with unreliable/toxic narrators.

You could probably call these indie/synth pop with lots of harsh techno influence in the production. Maybe New Wave? I like in your face production so there's lots of synths, 90s-00s ROMplers, drum machines, and a little electric guitar here and there.

Please take a listen if you like and let me know what you think.

There's also an EP of some older tunes that I reworked and a little micro ambient EP from a few years back also.

I posted a new song today entitled Suburban Vampire. It's a pop-rock ballad from the perspective of a former "real vampire" who's old friend appears to still be at it years later.

I posted a new song this week entitled Jealous of a Stadium. I was thinking of doing a pop-punk inspired production but ended up sticking to my typical bombastic synth-pop style. This one is inspired by that lady who was in love with a drill from the Object of My Desire episode of Extra Credit. Written from the perspective of the partner of someone with an interest in large man-made structures, it's about the difficulty her interest in a local stadium causes and includes a long list of various massive things which was very fun to put together.
