At some age my Floridian-self decided to sign a mental contract that I’d grow up to select two British male rock bands to be my top Spotify replays. While I could have took on the family tradition of mostly listening to country singers and heavy metal (not dissing on metal music, I begged to see Metallica when they toured in my city), what would be the fun in that? As of now, I get to argue with my father that Radiohead is in fact not a “sissy band” just because they aren’t American. He doesn’t even know who Arctic Monkeys is, but maybe one day I should introduce him to their music so I can hear his nonsensical argument about how British rock bands all sound the same (I should note that when he attempts to mock them, he does an Australian accent instead. Definitely no error in that assessment). Aside from my dad’s view on British people, I can proudly say I take a liking to such bands. And I also utilize those random Pinterest hamster stickers a lot. Do the two correlate? Maybe to some degree, but I am not the creator of these superb hamsters nor Alex Turner and Thom Yorke’s love child. So as of now, I’m just a 15-year-old who is struggling to find inspiration at 9 p.m. on a school night and wants an excuse to bulk-listen to Radiohead and Arctic Monkeys. So “Time to BRAWL!”, definitely said no 2018 video game with a suspicious lack of relation to the topic at hand.
