Literally just me gushing about eurobeat

Y'know what? Tumblr, you get a little treat. I don't have much better of a place to post something long-winded like this, so here we are.

I love eurobeat music. Big surprise from the girl with it in her handle, right? But I don't just love one kind of eurobeat. No, I'd go so far as to say I love it all. This genre becomes an absolute buffet of delightful, energetic, silly fun when you forget about trying to look for ways it "doesn't count", and try to look for the ways it does.

I love early eurobeat! I love the stuff that's indistinguishable from early Italo Disco, the formative things where the tempo was still low and the disco vibes were still high! That's Eurobeat and the first few volumes of Super Eurobeat are great for this!

I love later eurobeat, too! Even if some of the sounds aren't always my favorites, I love that folks were trying new things and dabbling with new sounds, experimenting in ways that in previous years seemed prohibited! Comparing some aliases who have been going for multiple decades from this period to when they started is also super fun!

I love traditional eurobeat, if I could pick a name for it! Faster, more rave-influenced, whether or not it's still got some disco elements in it, themes about nightclubs and love and loss and betrayal and that ever-ubiquitous fire! Maharajah Night has some great examples, leading into the bulk of pre-200 Super Eurobeat volumes!

I love J-Euro! It turns out, folks in Japan have different ideas and tastes and approach the genre VERY differently than the folks in Italy do, and I love how it sounds! I love how the sound design is so different and the speed jumps a little higher!

I love indie eurobeat! I love hearing how new and amateur producers take a crack at the sound, and seeing what folks do as the tools for making it grow and evolve! Even virtual versions of the synths the masters used to use are available now, and it's fantastic to hear how those things sound in new hands! I love the ways indie producers bend, break, and work around the rules of the genre and still deliver a uniquely "eurobeat" experience! Without this category, I would never have found DJ Command, DJ Bouche, Turbo, Vikas Beatbox, the Galaxian Recordings crew, and so, so many more!

I love happy eurobeat! The nature of the genre makes it so straightforward to pair its signature energy with joy, delight, empowerment!

I love sad eurobeat! That very same energy that powers joy and happiness can be just as powerful for driving home sorrow and sadness, and some lyrics even carry strong emotional weight (we're well past the days of eurobeat being only about Burning Love Car Baby Fire Desire Tonight Drift Tokyo, y'know)!

I love fandom eurobeat! Yup! Vocaloid, Touhou, MLP:FiM, Vtubers; whatever you may be a fan of, chances are good there's a eurobeat remix out there (or even an original) that suits your fancy!

I love Initial D eurobeat! How could I not, right? The classics are classics for a reason, and eurobeat and drift racing are a uniquely fantastic pair. Of all the things eurobeat could be about, it's one of a few that really knock it out of the park!

I love feminine eurobeat! Masculine eurobeat is great too, but it already gets a lot of love in the other categories, so I want to celebrate those eurobeat songs that feel quite the opposite while still being perfectly eurobeat! Eurobeat is broad enough to express feelings like this, too!

I love songs that aren't quite eurobeat, but have elements of it! And I love eurobeat songs that heavily include elements from other genres, too! Eurobeat is like any other genre-- it has not always had the same chances to rub shoulders with other sounds in the dance space, but when it does, some wonderful things happen! And the whole music world is enriched for that cross-pollenation!

I love the songs I used to dislike! To think I'd go from vastly disliking Norma Sheffield's discography, to adoring it so fully! Disliking "Higher Higher More and More" to seeking it out from time to time! Not being fond of SAIFAM/BBB's style, to knowing some of its songs by heart!

And most of all, I love that I get to MAKE this stuff for a living! I do not take the fact that this could've not worked out trivially, and I hope I've rewarded your patiences well with a lot of new favorites and starting points for diving deeper into the genre over the last... almost 20 years, now!

And that's just the tip of the iceberg! I understand some eurobeat isn't to everyone's taste, but I think if you haven't tasted all that there is out there, you owe it to yourself to see how you feel about it. You might be pleasantly surprised!

Anyone else find it absolutely perfect that Barbie is quite possibly the last movie Johnny Silverhand ever saw before dying?

Sooooo I was using fantasy name generator, as one does, just to look for inspiration for the name of my warlock's patron since I wasn't feeling any of the canon 5e options for the Great Old One. I went to the mindflayer name one, to see if there was one that sounded just 'eldritch entity' enough in my head.

Tell me why the second option was KEN 😂😂😂

I can't stop laughing, fantasy name generator really said:

Ken, the warlock patron of beach ✨

#d&d #warlocks #the great old one #bg3 oc #j speaks. #also keep misreading the first one as 'slut' #now i'm imagining what a warlock patroned to ken's spells would look like #instead of eldritch blast #it's eldritch beach ball or something #fucking life jacket of madness #POCKET SAND

actually, madara isnt a barbie but he Thinks he is. he thinks he's the main barbie but actually he's just .. a ken. who cosplays as barbie who then comes around and explodes him and puts him back into his place. adsgdgdfs

#madara #posts #mdr fucking wishes he was barbie .. him trying to take control over kaguya's mugen tsukuyomi is just like #when ken in the movie takes over barbie's house .. except kaguya doesnt react empathetically and instead blasts him #from his supposed narrative throne and takes over instead

#dude ken rlly was necessary for my mental health im having a blast with him in my brain zone #talkys #only thing is the distraction is way bigger now. cant focus on anything i wanna go loaf and hang out with him in my mind

He's just ✨Ken✨

...okay maybe not...

but a fun fact for y'all: did you know my book started as a Nightmare Before Christmas fanfiction?

If you did, who are you and how did you get here? 🤔

All jokes aside, it's been years since the cursed fanfiction turned into something quite different, grew up, and matured!

However there will always be a place in my heart for Sam and Jack. They are darling and sweet to me. Something truly wholesome that will always be forever charming.

So do enjoy a holiday photo! Perhaps of the past visiting the present 😌.

Jack belongs to Tim Burton.

And Samuel belongs to myself.

Please do not copy trace or steal, thank you very much!🥹
