  "I found Blackpink during lockdown. I was desparate for something new, my musical wellspring had run dry, BUT I also didn't want something that would take, like, a time investment to get into. Like, no, I've never really gotten into Radiohead, but doing that sounded like a lot of work. What was new but was also accessible and easy? BTS was huge at that time, Butter was all over TikTok, but didn't do much for me. So I bounced around a few spotify playlists and then Boombayah came on and I was like "HOLY SHIT." That was exactly what I was looking for. Blackpink was very in-your-face and aggressive in a way that other Kpop groups I'd heard weren't. (Katie was really into one group and, frankly, they fucking suck and it put me off the genre for a long time).

  Steve mentioned them being Stryofoam cups, but I was going to liken them to Twizzlers. They are sugar, gelatin, and red dye #5. The Twizzler Corporation makes no attempt to say that they are healthy, that they can cure a disease, or give you an energy boost. It is unapologetic sweet chewy bullshit.

  And I fucking love Twizzlers." - Alex
