I think a lot about Lemon Demon and how important this silly little music has been important to me for so much of my life now. I first discovered Neil Cicierega’s work through Potter Puppet Pals in 2013, and started listening to his music in like 2016 I think. I believe the first song I heard was 123456 Pokémon, and there’s a video somewhere out there of 10 year old me singing a really bad cover of the song. A kid showed it to one of my teachers in 5th grade and she showed it to the whole class. My parents still talk about how I would always say "Don’t Worry, Bill Murray!"
It’s probably *gasp* lost media now!! I deleted it long ago because I was embarrassed by it. I sorta regret it though. The kinda thing I’d love to show to my future kids someday when they’re the age I was. I’m not writing this to talk about that one song I kinda went on a tangent here. The point is I just find it crazy that Neil’s silly little music and even his non-musical work has been such a huge part of my life for a long time. I never listened to Spirit Phone until 2019 but it was the album that got me into music as a whole basically. Well, along with Justice’s "Cross" and Jack Stauber’s "Pop Food"
My music taste is probably embarrassing but hey, it’s my music taste and I enjoy it. In that case, why should I care if other people find it "corny" or "reddit" or whatever buzzwords they’ve decided they’ll use to define me by my interests before even getting to know me as a person? People on the internet are so weird about music taste. The 4chan /mu/ rateyourmusic elitists are annoying, but the people who constantly trash talk them and their taste are just as annoying. I miss when you could actually just like music without it being a big deal or some kinda statement.
