Lips of an Angel is an objectively terrible song and yet I'm voluntarily listening to it right now
...terrible to who?
I blame Nina/Mata. It's not the kind of song I'd normally listen to but I can't help but feel warmly about it by association.
But at least we got an Enna cover out of it! I could listen to her sing just about anything. (also that Fauna cover](https://youtube.com/watch?v=0gD3nvk_h5M) where she realizes in real time that it's a song about cheating lmao)
I guess that reveals my own probably-most-dweeb thing: VTubers. Not that I'm particularly secretive about it on here (although I usually use spoiler tags in the General Megathread to protect the innocent as well as give myself a false sense of privacy), but while my IRL friends know about it it's not something I can actually talk about with them. Idk, I think it's fun for people to become anime and have neat outfits and stuff, and while they're not much different from normal streamers for the most part, there are some VTuber-specific conventions that I like, particularly the emphasis on music and visual art. And while the corpo VTubers are under some restrictions that are super annoying, one thing I actually like is that they don't/can't do react content; I get the appeal, but it's just not for me, and I find a lot of streamers lean way too heavily on it.
I found YouTube links in your comment. Here are links to the same videos on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
