- It does help that I was big into the 2000s emo scene, which many of the early essays in this book center on. No, YOU cried about Fall Out Boy while reading this book!
- It’s not just about the music, though, it never is with his writing. Music is life, and it illuminates what it’s like live in Abdurraqib’s body in this world.

I think not being a major or well educated music fan probably hurt my experience of this book, but I’m still so glad I read it and think anyone can enjoy and benefit from reading it. I highly recommend listening to a playlist of all the songs mentioned as you go!
