While I have always been a fan of and spent lots of time listening to music throughout my childhood, it wasn't until later on in college that I got super invested in actually exploring new genres and artists, as well as discovering my love for physical media (Specifically CDs)!
In the past few years I made a pretty big switch in what type of music I like and got super into metal! Now I've been trying to explore more genres and artists both inside and outside of the metal scene, as well as potentially finding and attending more live shows, as I've only started going to concerts recently...
I'll admit if you ask me what genres I enjoy I probably wouldn't be able to give you a great answer but I'm a big fan of Nu-metal as well as a lot of metal/rock bands that tend to genre-bend, I feel my taste in music can be a bit all over the place lol
Artists I Enjoy:
Ghost (and Tobias Forge in general), Sleep Token, Linkin Park, Alpha Wolf, Spiritbox, Gaerea, Slipknot, Loathe, SOAD, Kittie, Chappell Roan, Knocked Loose, Repugnant, Plagues etc.
Down below is my CD collection that's still relatively new as I only started it about a year ago (?). Some of them are older CDs I got from my parents, some were bought new to support my current favorite artists, and some were bought used from a music shop near where I went to college! At the moment the two CDs I'd really like to find are Spit by Kittie and Tonight the Stars Revolt! by Powerman 5000!

These are actual pictures of the CDs I own so some of them may look a bit scratched up or dirty (they've traveled with me to and from college a few times and some of the cases just happened to arrive a bit damaged).. More to be added soon!
