:porygon-z: bt89 :porygon-z:
Song: Jane Remover - So What
Genre: Glitch Pop
Description: this was jane remover’s year honestly - two albums, a mixtape, a bunch of leroy singles, and now one of the best pop eps of the year in lead up to her fourth mainline jane remover album. this song goes so insanely hard, combining everything that made jane’s music so attractive this year into an infectious, progressive 5-minute dance opus!

Song: G Herbo - Blitz
Genre: Rap/Drill Rap/Chicago Drill
Description: G Herbo’s 2025 drill anthem off of his November album Lil Herb. Short and sweet with clean delivery and intense lyrics backed up by a masterful beat.

:primarina: DerpySuX :primarina:
Song: thouxanbanfauni - BLITZED TF OFF
Genre: Rap/Trap/Atlanta Trap
Description: My favorite song from thouxabanfauni’s newest album, ARSONIST. A slow and intense song with a killer Atlanta style beat with heavily distorted vocals to add to the atmosphere.

The Beths - Roundabout

:murkrow: Crow :murkrow:
Cemetery Sex - Traitor
Genre: Gothic Rock
Description: Belated entry for spoopy month, but also one of the finest rock songs of the year. The instrumental lurches and limps along, leading into a soaring final chorus with some of the most impressive vocals of any song.

:geodude: celebrating :geodude:
Song: Car Seat Headrest - Reality
Genre: indie rock, glam rock, rock opera
Description: 5 years after their divisive electronic-focused album, Car Seat Headrest returned to their rock roots, but with the added extra understanding of how each member worked with each other. Reality is the final culmination of this, with the guitarist on lead vocals, but a song that's just as emotional as almost any with the regular vocalist on it.

:jigglypuff: Lux Prima :jigglypuff:
Song: Bon Iver - Walk Home
Genre: Pop
Description: this one's for the yearncels out there. the real yearncores.
