Edit: I’m a little worried I may have misused the word “alleviate”, which I thought means “to ease a little bit in a non permanent way”. Sorry if I accidentally made you all confused. xD

I wrote this in another community the other day:

As to why I insist on buying female centric vinyls, I’m not quite sure, but it could have something to do with my gender dysphoria. I believe the psychological mechanism is too complex for me to even begin to understand, but I think I listen to what I want to become or what I would have wanted to be in the first place, gender-wise (voice, body, clothing, etc.). Maybe vinyl, being an older medium, brings me back to and helps me imagine a childhood that I wish I could have had? I just spitballing here though…

Can you relate? Is there music that alleviates your dysphoria?

    To quote my SoundCloud bio: “If the music is loud then I can’t think and if I can’t think then I can’t sad ;w;”

    Sooo mainly extreme high energy stuff like Zaag Uptempo or Rawtempo, sometimes Tearout too. I should watch my tinnitus tho…

    Producing music also is an insane mood helper since I feel like I can express myself way more with making music (or just noise sometimes).
