i haven't even done an introduction post yet JKHGSKS but i just started seeing this around and it seems fun, so i couldn't resist 👉👈 tried to stick to more recent favorites overall to keep the choices a little easier. although that means like over half of it is music i found through omori WHEEZE
also... yelling—i had two S's to work with and yet it was still the hardest to choose for. turns out there's way too many bangers that start with S. fortunately, end roll saved me for the second S, and many were easily discarded

S: Sleepwalk by Forrest Day
O: OMORI + OMORI - Alter by Pedro Silva (EASY CHOICE)
L: Loveit? by BIZ or LOSER by Neoni
A: And Then is Heard No More by Mili
E: Extension of You by Mili (two mili songs in a row 😭 THEY'RE GOOD. this one isn't even a recent fave, but ended up vibing the most easily right now anyway)
S: Strange Town by Freem!
T: The Other Side Of Paradise by Glass Animals (been really enjoying glass animals all over again lately)
I: I Love the Stars by The Orion Experience or It Means Everything by Pedro Silva (i would have picked it means everything in a flash, but while i was going through my music the other one beat me down instantly with a baseball bat like i'd never moved on from it at all, SO.)
A: Ancient Names Parts I & II by Lord Huron (obligatory lord huron!!! two songs technically but IDC BRO i could've easily filled half of this with just them hehe...)
L: Lagtrain by inabakumori

tagging whoever sees this if you wanna do it let's goo
