I have always really loved the song and I find it melancholic and unsettling, yet hopeful. It has this almost lazy groove in some parts of it, and this almost chaotic thrumming beat in other parts of it. When I close my eyes and sway to it I don't feel self conscious at all, I just float and nod my head. I think people would hear it and think of all the times I have put this song on and just danced about and it'd make them smile.

it’s crazy to think she’s been around 15 years and this is one of the best songs she’s ever put out. It’s silly it’s outrageous the lyrics read like a tumblr post and she’s just out here trying to be that girl. It’s been stuck in my head since I heard it. following up a poetry book which I’m sure not a lot of people read with this unhinged masterpiece is the energy I want to see in the world.

throw away all of your opinions about azealia banks and let the music shine. the beach intro with waves and faint birds chirping… the synths in the background and banks’ ever so captivating voice and flow over the beat are just soo

I remember first hearing about this song from Tiny Mix Tapes (miss you baby!) and have been obsessed with it since. confrontational, embarrassing but mostly so sad, made even sadder by its cheery electropop sounding ending.

Whether you need inspo, are curious about the discourse over the last few decades, want to get into a new hobby or whatever else, you can download open source magazine issues from decades past. They have magazines from as early as the early 1900s too! I have been obsessed with old video games lately so I have been looking at the old club nintendo magazines and it has been so fun. Like look at some of the covers these magazines used to have

There is something about seeing someone be unconscious about something that they really love. The sincerity of it, the way they forget to be quiet if its in public, the way they gesture with their hands more. Its great 10/10 would recommend being passionate about your interests!

This might be a strange solution but it may help: when you see something thats not a garment that you consider beautiful for whatever reason, photograph it and then use your wardrobe to try and capture that energy.
For example, I go on a lot of nature walks and something that happens a lot on my walks is that I'll see a lot of beautiful colours that I often don't see worn together, blends of textures like where the leaves of a tree meet the sky etc and so I try to capture that. Like that's how I realised that I love the colour combination of orange and grey.
To help I may then look through old magazines and cut out images to make scrapbook pages of inspiration, or if I have the influence of a particular era in mind to express the look I may look at stills of films from that decade (that's another way you can use pinterest that's not so algo heavy).
Then you just try stuff on and see how you feel, what you like about your attempts what you don't like etc. Ultimately imo the easiest way to avoid relying on algorithms for fashion inspiration is to take inspiration from things other than clothes and to practice translating the aesthetic principles into garments.
Do you like that one brutalist style building with hedges of wild flowers near the place you work? How do you express it in an outfit. Do you keep looking at the sheen of an apple before you bite into it? What fabrics might have a similar effect?
And then use the clothes that you have to try things and edit/style your looks until you get to things you like wearing.
