Re: Fanfic Pet Peeves

Oh god I forgot about the whole character's music taste! So often, it relies on the reader KNOWING those musicians for the joke/emotion/whatever to work, and some of us are culturally deprived. *points to self*

I think music is VERY hard to incorporate into fiction in general. The only times I've seen it done well is Spider Robinson (who's a musician himself), Stuck Rubber Baby, and Mail Order Bride, and that's because they found ways to show the emotions of the songs involved, rather than just, "HEY LOOK AT MY TASTE."

Back when My Chemical Romance was huge, it was an actual thing to have emotional fic with characters listening to their songs and painting their nails black or whatever.

I mean, I get that people get caught up in music and they have strong feelings about it that they want to share because it speaks to their soul or something, but I just find it funny. Bad person award!

I don't have a problem with people recommending playlists or writing songfic and labelling it as such (which I don't read), but when it pops up without warning, I back button.

Yeah, I feel like I'm getting too old and boring for all these new cultural references.

Oh, I remember! Off the top of my head, I remember songfic for My Immortal (of course), Clint Eastwood, and Linkin Park. I never cared for it, because in my opinion, song lyrics look damn stupid printed, unless you already know the song. Oftentimes, it's piggybacking off the emotions of the song, rather than writing it yourself.

It's like the emo version of the pop culture reference.
