Obsession

I am obsessed with my favorite electronic band crystal castles. I began listening to them in eighth grade after hearing them play in my brother’s car. I thought that their edgy beats and synthetic tones were so different than what I was used to hearing on the radio. I am especially obsessed with them now because I recently found out that they broke up a few days ago. All I've wanted since eighth grade was to see them live, and now I must make up for what I can never see by watching hours of live performances on YouTube.

 I was drawn to them because of how different they were. And yes I do find myself watching videos repeatedly. Do you have a favorite band- that may or may not have even broken up- that you obsess over. An artist or group that you find you are drawn to repeatedly watch over and over without getting tired? I think I also liked this specific group because they parallel my organization style, I am also very obsessed with being neat and tidy, and every little thing have its own specific space. This band's music was so different from that idea- the music was random at times, loud noisy jumbled and chaotic. Does it make sense that I was drawn to something so different than what I am usually used to?
