    4. What is some noteworthy music that is quarantine/COVID-specific?

      I'm curious to know what music is out there that:

      • is explicitly about the world's current COVID-related situations, or
      • had its recording/production significantly influenced by those situations.

      Examples of the former would be Koffee's "Lockdown" or Chromeo's Quarantine Casanova, which have their influences right there on the label.

      An example of the latter would be Charli XCX's How I'm Feeling Now (mildly NSFW album art), which was created in self-isolation while collaborating over Zoom with producers and fans.

      I'm interested in seeing what's out there, not necessarily getting specific recommendations for music, so you don't have to consider anything you post an endorsement.

    18. What music have you grown out of? What music has remained resonant across the years?

      Two parts to this topic:

      • What music have you grown out of? (This is music you used to love but that you now find it very hard to enjoy)

      • What, if anything, caused/spurred the separation?

      • What music has remained resonant throughout the years? (This is music that still speaks to you like it did when you first listened to it, years or even decades earlier).

      • What do you think gives it such staying power?

      "Music" can refer to specific songs, albums, artists, labels, genres, etc. -- whatever best fits the questions and your musical preferences.

      Live feed in French - in the last 10 minutes nobody really knew what was happening according to my relatively bad french.

      Montreal Gazette - will be updated

      The trend on twitter - for some up-to-the-minute information and slight hysteria

      An article via Gamasutra - this just happened to be the first one I read, will also likely get updated.

      Asked mainly out of curiosity and because, personally, most of the changes I've been through (well, that I remember, with I don't do nearly as well as I'd like) as a person are basically the implications of autism often getting weaker with age and just getting hormones like most people instead of anything deliberate or conscious, with the exception of this.
