i would love to listen the music you listen to while writing. you mentioned about green day and i wonder if its gaon's influence or if you listen to this kind of music!! maybe you can try add a small playlist for future fics?? just a loose suggestion and thank you for long answer in the previous question, this is exactly what i was waiting for!:)

ah I'm glad! as I said, I really do love talking about writing hehe. and this is going to be another long answer because, what a coincidence! I also love talking about music! but I fear I have caused a miiild misunderstanding because there's a massive rift of difference between the music I listen to while actually physically writing and the music I listen to around the time that I am in the trenches with a writing project or to help myself get into the right mindset for writing. because I mainly listen to instrumental soundtracks while writing, if anything at all, to block out external noise more than anything... otherwise I can't focus 😅

and actually I have to admit......... I've never really listened to much green day LMAO sorry jiseok. when I was a teenager I was into paramore, fall out boy, mcr, panic at the disco, as well as muse to a lesser degree, and then in my first year of uni I got into all time low and twenty one pilots, but I somehow just never got into green day beyond a few songs 😭 on another note, I actually was going to make a playlist for the boys in the band, but tho I have the list, I never turned it into a play-list. but I can copy/paste that list:

My Chemical Romance - The Sharpest Lives (this is actually where the title is from; the lyric "I love all the poison away with the boys in the band"... at one point the title was "away with the boys in the band" but the "away with" got done away with)
Hot Milk - HORROR SHOW
Bring Me The Horizon - MANTRA
Muse - Time is Running Out
5SOS - TEARS!
Fall Out Boy - Golden
Caskets - Lost in Echoes
Muse - Starlight
Sleep Token - Aqua Regia
YUNGBLUD - fleabag
Bring Me The Horizon - Oh No (this I also listened to a lot towards the end of writing a flower in the rain)
Bad Omens - Just Pretend
Bring Me The Horizon - sugar honey ice & tea (s h i & t 🤝 f-u-c-k y-o-u)
Caskets - Guiding Light
Holding Absence - Liminal
ONE OK ROCK - Make It Out Alive
Caskets - The Only Ones
Sleep Token - Rain
Caskets - Clarity
Bad Omens - The Grey
Caskets - Silhouettes (this one I listened to a Lot in the midst of writing chapters 21 through 24 (roughly))
Young K - natural (song that describes jooseok)

the caskets songs are probably the most notable!! they're the band I was really into around august/september last year when I was finishing up tbitb... and while I'm here I may as well go through some other songs that have been influential to my fics so here u go:

5SOS - Moodswings (I listened to this a Lot while writing between the cracks)
Fall Out Boy - Heaven, Iowa (hurricane darling... along with the entirety of fob's so much for stardust album, which is an absolute masterpiece)
Bring Me The Horizon - i don't know what to say (a flower in the rain is basically just a 30k-word songfic of this song)
Sleep Token - Chokehold (I'm sure you can probably guess this one)
Crash and Burn - Dayseeker (the one you loved)
(I also listened to a lot of dayseeker while writing wings of light, but no specific song comes to mind)
Memphis May Fire - The Fight Within (brighter than the stars)
I See Stars - Yellow King (also brighter than the stars)

I honestly could probably make a full playlist for brighter than the stars, including the songs mentioned in the fic... I wonder if there'd be interest in that? 🤔 anyway, another long answer indeed sdfjsgh but I hope this is once again the kind of thing you were looking for!! 😭
