Sub to my walrus

I looked at it but don't wanna sub stuff you don't like and not sure our tastes align much. Might anyway if you're asking, idk.

From what little I know of your taste, if you're worried about hard rock... don't be worried about hard rock lol, and even if I don't like it, Idm getting songs I don't like if they add variety

But also no pressure

But also sub to my walrus

Things I like in music:
- albums and long tracks
- trancecore stuff with long progression and sustaining a consistent mood
- lofi and synthetic instruments
- mostly instrumental
- soothing bleep bloops
- industrial ambient

Sub to my walrus instead

scummy tbh

too late for ITA phase?

light agree here tbh, probs more to be gained airing it out than keeping playersolves close to chest

okay tbh i was a bit hasty @nutella this royal blood track's actually p dope

:songbird:What's a Walrus? :butterfly~1:
For those of you out of the loop, a walrus is a music-ranking competition where the host gives a list of categories, and participants submit songs to match those categories. I'll be providing you with some example tracks to help you get a feel for each category, but in the end each participant must decide on one song per category.
After listening to the submissions, I'll be grading and ranking them based on how well they fit the category, as well as how much I can get into the song.

:songbird:Scoring Guidelines :butterfly~1:
1. Each track will be scored out of ten, based on how well it fits with the category and personal preferences, with some points for originality.
2. Pander at your own risk; your submission should stand out. I'm looking for good tracks, sure, but also new and interesting.
3. Be bold, be daring, be original.
4. Submissions for categories 4a and 4b will be weighted with a *.5 multiplier.
5. Submissions for category 9 will receive a *1.1 multiplier, should their charm be the least popular selection, and a *.9 multiplier, should their charm be the most popular selection.
6. Your lowest score will be removed (excluding submissions for categories 4a, 4b, 9 and 14), after which I will add up your score from each category to produce your final score.

:songbird:Submission Guidelines:butterfly~1:
1. You may only submit one song per category unless otherwise specified. Alts may or may not be permitted during the last week of signups.
2. To sign up, I need your submissions for at least the first 8 cats.
3. Submissions for cats 1-8 are due Monday, 10/10, by 11:59pm. Cats 9-14 TBD.

The competition will consist of 14 categories in total, with two subcategories for Cat 4.
