The Rum Creeters

It’s not pop. But it’s what all the cool kids are listening to.
…So it’s pop.
Indie style, I suppose. Some of them are a bit old (by pop [and nonpop pop] standards), but they’re all from the new millennium, so I still count them as recent.

I’m 21. I have been for about half a year now, actually, but I chose to do 21 songs for this Mix Tape since it’s all about hip new things that hip new people listen to. Not that I’m hip, or even new (I’ve been told I have the soul of a grandma; I chose to take that as a compliment, probably proving the point), but I like to see what’s out there. And these are my findings, at least the ones I’ve taken an interest in.

You might have noticed by now that I sometimes repeat artists I’ve had on other Mix Tapes. Sorry about that. I’ll try to shake it up some more in the future.
