Dear Tumblr users who I don’t know in real life,

I really like seeing your personal posts, even the whiny angsty ones, and particularly the strange boring ones. I like these little windows into your lives even if I’ve never seen pictures of you and all I really know is that we like a few of the same tv shows. Please continue to let me read your to do lists and your conversations with strange relatives.

Thank you,

Stranger from the internet.

Listening to Nirvana hits different at 8:10 at night

Not gonna lie, my soul really hurts knowing that so many people are just NOW realizing how amazing and badass that guitar riff and solo from “Master of Puppets” is. This song has literally been slaying since 1986, like why didn’t y’all notice its badassness sooner?! And yes, I do realize that Metallica themselves have been unfazed by this newfound popularity and are fine with it, but I used to do what people are now doing with that song—not appreciating how truly impeccable it is—; I used to do exactly that with certain bands and singers and I regret it. So, so much.

Anyway the moral of this is: appreciate music. Listen to what you like, but also explore new music. And when you do explore new music, don’t limit yourself to just the one song you’ve heard by that band or singer; listen to ALL of their stuff. You never know what might happen! ❤️

One of my biggest flexes is that I’ve been listening to “Master of Puppets” and Metallica for awhile now before they both recently became more popular from Stranger Things 🤘

When Slash smiles, I smile 😊🫶
