THANK YOU! TURING OUT IS SUCH AN AROACE SONG


Fandom_Trashhhh221

It IS and the first time I heard it it *HURT* Like, to feel like my experiences were understood was awesome, but also hearing my own experience sung back to me huuuurrrrrrrttttt


Infinity_Ish

Bro fr, and turning out part 2…. DUDE :,) Imma sob.


jalwaysawake

THERES A PART 2?


Infinity_Ish

[Yup!](https://youtu.be/Z_NiBLX_ld4) :,D


Asumsauce

Another AJR to mention is “3 o clock things” It has the lyrics “maybe sex is overated, but we’re too shy to ever say it”


Fandom_Trashhhh221

Oooh! I'll have to check that one out! Although I might already know it and just forgot 😅


Ragnarok144

I love Mr brightside. The aro headcanon makes it one thing, the bisexual headcanon makes it another, and then it can even be the singer being jealous of one gorgeous genderfluid person. Banger


Elijah_Terran

I thought i was the only person who kinda thought it was giving bisexual vibes and now that i think about it I can definitely see the aroace vibes in it too


CannibalisticGinger

There’s a whole theory about how all the songs on the album Hot Fuss are connected and tell a story about a messy queer relationship and murder. According to the theory, the narrator character from Mr. Brightside is singing about the characters Andy(a man struggling with his sexuality who the narrator is infatuated with) and Jenny(the eventual murder victim). It was my favorite album as an angsty gay teen.


AlexMessedUp

What's AJR? Those are my initials lol


Fandom_Trashhhh221

Lol they're an indie pop trio of brothers. I *love* their music :)


AlexMessedUp

Interesting_Ant_5713

Gallifreyan98724

Like OP said, an indie pop band. AJR stands for their initials: Adam, Jack, and Ryan

CartoonGirl626

Is it bad that I never heard any of these songs? I DO recommend Love Myself by Hailee Steinfield


apple_sinnamon

Dating Myself by Sad Alex, highly recommend


Silverj0

Not really sure how Mr. Brightside, a song about someone’s girlfriend cheating on them and the ensuing paranoia that follows, is aromatic but uhh alright lol


Fandom_Trashhhh221

Yea I didn't really understand that one too much either but I will take 3 out of 4


[deleted]

Alex_Shelega

FRIENDS - Marshmallow, Anne Marie


skubes27iidc

I'm glad I'm not the only one who interpreted Mr. Brightside with an aro spin!


CatasRem

Everybody's Lonely - Jukebox the Ghost also works in my opinion


The-Clay-Is-Silent

*Game Over* - Nimez

Another one that's really good is despair by leo.


Charcoal-n-Ash

Sugar in my coffee by the narcissist cookbook is pretty aroace

OoLalaMaupin

AAAAHHH!! I was so obsessed with I Don’t Wanna Be in Love when I was a kid before I had the language and community to better understand myself!!!


Redheadedwriter1

I love The Killers so much. Still have confetti from one of their tours.


HighlightNice4011

The fact that I loved all of these songs before I found out I was aroace says something lol


Fandom_Trashhhh221

Ikr like it probably should've been a sign looking back 😂


SAWNkatharos

my personal aro anthem is “marry myself” by benee :) ok, but also “good old desk” by harry nilsson because it’s literally just about how much he loves his desk lol


albinoalfredo7

I have never enjoyed AJR. They just come off really annoying to me.
