MUSIC

My taste in music is pretty diverse, but I mainly listen to bands. Lately, I’ve also been into some R&B and hip-hop artists. My go-to bands include My Chemical Romance, Avenged Sevenfold, Pierce The Veil, Nirvana, Green Day, Paramore, I Prevail, and Blink-182, Slowdive, Julie, Evanescence, The Cure, Gorillaz, Blur, The Smiths, and many more.

On the local scene, I enjoy Peterpan, Pee Wee Gaskins, Morfem, Kelompok Penerbang Roket, The Panturas, The Jansen, rumahsakit, Roadtrip to Antarctica, Rebellion Rose, Threesixty Skatepunk, The Changcuters, Perunggu, Sunwich, Sajama Cut, and many more. Lately, I’ve also been diving into K-POP and K-BAND, especially from the 2nd generation like BIGBANG (OT3 + T.O.P), SNSD, KARA, and 2NE1. As for the newer generation, I’m into P1Harmony, Xdinary Heroes, aespa, Monsta X, wave to earth, The Poles, and DAY6.

I love discovering new artists on Spotify, so my playlist is constantly growing. If we ever exchange music recommendations, be prepared for an endless list.


MOVIES

I don’t really have a preferred genre—I just watch whatever suits my mood. But if there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that I love Asian Cinema. I wouldn’t call myself a cinephile (seriously, my film knowledge is embarrassingly uncultured), but I do have some all-time favorites: Noriko’s Dinner Table, Love Exposure, Monster, Shoplifters, Flipped, We Made a Beautiful Bouquet, Mencuri Raden Saleh, Battle Royale, Possession, Bound, Confessions, and Janji Joni. The list is long, but those are the ones that stuck with me the most.


ANIME & MANGA

My go-to genres are shounen, action, adventure, mecha, military, historical, supernatural, and sometimes a bit of comedy and romance. My favorites? Bleach, Gundam, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Death Note, 86 -Eighty Six-, Mob Psycho 100, Saiki K, Jujutsu Kaisen, Haikyuu!!, Sakamoto Days, and Yona of the Dawn. And trust me, that’s just the tip of the iceberg.


That’s pretty much it! If any of this resonates with you, let’s be friends :]
