Title: Convention 3

haha im glad you liked it! i'm honestly surprised i've got as many songs as i have at this stage. i was expecting one of my songs to make it to magenta [edit: this is a preemptive assumption], but to have 2 still in the contest nearing the 50s is surprising to me and i don't know why. of my remaining songs... one was a song i figured i was going to be this high in the list, but the other is really shocking me that it's making it this far? like in a good way, because its a special song to me

you know, i'd probably pick completely different songs for like. half my nominations nowadays because it's been a few years since this started [wow. its amazing to think you started this in what. mid-late 2018? and youve been slowly progressing it this whole time.] its like a milestone of my life and now its suddenly coming to an end, all the rankings are going by super fast now! wow! :) i'm glad to have participated

anyways i was going somewhere with this. right - as time goes by, music tastes change and schtuff. like... i would have replaced life is a bore with slammasters 2 sydney, i would have replaced the siivagunner pick with a time tripper pick [probably the opnmidi version of the binding], and i would have replaced international superstar soccer 64 training with a gunstar heroes pick [either good night, baby or dancing-smash-hero].

while im at it about hypothetical time travel cathode picks, id probably replace cerebrawl rush the front with either katamari damacy roll me in or mega man perfect blue intro stage... not sure about that though. but there's a few songs i wouldnt have ended up replacing i think. the two you haven't ranked yet, and... potentially this song - but similarly to rush the front its something im not sure about! if i was to do this hypothetical time travel replacement of my songs, i would probably pick convention 2 instead.

because like, it's been 3 and a half?? years since this happened and my taste has developed to be a lot glitchier [this happened when i listened to light industry for the first time], and ive realized i like music that focuses a lot on fuller complex chords now because it provides a lot of EMOTION and ENERGY [thank you sin and punishment] so i tend to seek those out.

on the other hand, my overfocusing on spanish-flavoured vgm has simmered with time. its a similar kind of change to the sort i went through when i first came into board 8, when i went from mainly liking fm music to mainly liking sampled music.

despite all that im saying about theoretical time travel vgm experiments, i wouldn't take any of it back. everybody who took part in this ranking, whether it be you as the ranker or anyone who nominated, has had their tastes change over time i'd imagine. submitting music for this ranking played a part in developing my own music tastes, and im highly curious to see where the other two songs i submitted placed as we head into the MAGENTA ZONE [spooky]!
